How much data does Spotify use?

The amount of data that Spotify burns through will depend on the streaming quality you choose - more on this in a minute. This is a rough guide for how much data Spotify will get through:

• One hour of music playback will use around 50MB of data when the quality is set to "normal".
• At normal quality you can play around 24 hours of music for around 1GB of data usage.
• At high-quality 1GB will be used in less than 15 hours.
• At extreme quality you'll use 1GB of data in 7 hours.
• You'll use a lot more data with video playback.

You can check and change the quality of streaming and download of songs using mobile data in the settings on your device.

About Netflix

About Netflix

Netflix has announced its latest financials, but before you click away for fear of being bored, there’s some rather interesting information buried in the Q2, 2017 earnings. Not least that Netflix has hit another milestone in terms of subscribers, meaning more people now watch Netflix than ever before.

Reed Hastings’ company has a long and checkered history. Netflix started life shipping DVDs by mail, but once it started streaming content instead things really took off. The Qwikster split and various price hikes have caused people to cancel their Netflix subscriptions, but the company is on an upwards trajectory that shows no signs of peaking.

NETFLIX GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

In its latest letter to shareholders [PDF] Netflix revealed that it now boasts 103.95 million subscribers worldwide. It has added subscribers in all territories, but international subscribers now account for 50.1 percent of the total. This represents impressive growth considering Netflix only expanded into most of the 190 countries it now serves in January 2016.

Netflix also talked about its attitude to original content. The expense of producing original shows and movies is why the Netflix catalog has shrunk in recent years. Netflix cites the 91 Emmy nominations as proof it’s producing quality content, and talks of its “commitment to serve the desires of our diverse and growing audience”.

Lamborghini Urus

The new Lamborghini Urus.

Lamborghini

• The Lamborghini Urus was unveiled on Monday.
• The SUV is expected to double Lamborghini's annual sales.
• It's powered by a 650 horsepower, 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged, V8 engine.
• Lamborghini claims the Urus has a top speed of 190 mph.

The striking off-roader is just the second SUV in company history and is expected to double the company's annual sales total to around 7,000 cars globally.

Powered by a 650 horsepower, 4.0 liter, twin-turbocharged V8, Lambo claims the Urus can hit 62 mph in just 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 mph, besting the Bentley Bentayga's 187 mph mark.

According to Lamborghini, this makes the Urus the fastest SUV in the world.

"The Lamborghini Urus is a visionary approach based on the infusion of Lamborghini DNA into the most versatile vehicle, the SUV," Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali said in a statement. "The Urus elevates the SUV to a level not previously possible, the Super SUV."

Lamborghini

With a starting price of $200,000, the Urus is firmly entrenched in a new class of ultra-luxury, high-performance SUVs dominated by the Bentley Bentagya, Range Rover Autobiography, Porsche Cayenne, and the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is set to join that group in the near future.

In addition to the 650 horses under the hood, the Lambo is also equipped with an 8-speed automatic that sends power to an advanced four-wheel-drive system with active torque vectoring and four-wheel-steering.

Netflix free

1. Get a Free Trial

When it comes to free trials, Netflix certainly is a generous platform.

It offers users a free, month long trial of its services.

So, you can easily sign up for Netflix and watch all of the content it has to offer for a whole month, without having to pay anything.

But, you will need to enter a payment method, like a credit card, in order to qualify for the free trial.

And, once the 30-day trial period is up, you will be charged for the next month if you don’t cancel your membership beforehand.

Handily enough though, Netflix sends you a reminder email a few days before your trial is set to expire.

What’s handy is that Netflix, in many regions, offers PayPal as a payment option.

So, if you’re wondering how to get Netflix for free without a credit card, then this is a good choice.

Some people, on websites like Quora and Reddit, state that you can sign up for multiple free trails by using a different payment method and email address to sign up.

But, this isn’t a reliable way to get Netflix for free.

Netflix clearly states that only one of its free trials is allowed per household, and it is pretty good at detecting accounts and devices that are the same person.

Hrithik Roshan is an Indian actor who appears in Bollywood films. After having appeared in films as a child actor in the 1980s, Roshan made his film debut in a leading role in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000) for which Roshan earned his Filmfare Awards for Best Actor and Best Male Debut. In 2001, he went on to appear in the melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001), which became India's highest-grossing film in the overseas market and his biggest commercial success to date. Following through with several unnoticed performances from 2002-03, he starred in the commercially successful Koi... Mil Gaya (2003) and its sequel _Krrish_, both of which won him numerous Best Actor awards. Roshan received his third Filmfare Award for Best Actor in 2006 for his performance in the action film Dhoom:2 (2006). He later received critical acclaim for his performance in La sposa dell'Imperatore (2008), for which he received his first international award at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival. These accomplishments have established him as a leading contemporary actor of Hindi cinema.

Often described as India's 'most complete actor', Hrithik Roshan is the culmination of old Hindi film industry from both sides of his pedigree.

His maternal grandfather - director-producer _J. Om Prakash_ - first introduced little Hrithik onscreen at age 6 by slyly having his crew shoot without the boy's knowledge as he danced on the set of Aasha (1980) while visiting grandpa. J. Om Prakash later gave young Hrithik his only actual speaking role as a child, directing him in the key role of Rajnikanth's adopted son in Bhagwaan Dada (1986).

Youtube Views

TrueView ads on YouTube allow advertisers to only pay for ads that are watched to completion.

Users have the option to skip these ads after five seconds of viewing, and a new study by LaunchLeap found that 59% of millennials opt for skipping.

Although the metric may sound discouraging, it's actually a good thing for users, advertisers and YouTube. Those who skip ads are likely uninterested from the outset, and an option to skip provides for a user-friendly experience while ensuring advertiser dollars are spent on those who are arguably more engaged. In addition, 29% of millennials indicated that they watch video ads to completion, which is reportedly better engagement than Snapchat, where users watch only three seconds of a video ad, according to Ad Age.

Here are a few implications of ad-skipping on YouTube:

• When they don't skip, people pay attention to YouTube ads. Based on eye-tracking technology, Google and Ipsos found that attention paid to YouTube ads is 84% higher than advertising on TV. In addition, the audience size of 18-49 year olds on YouTube during prime time is larger than the top 10 TV shows combined. However, it is important to note that measurement comparisons between TV and online video are not exactly apples-to-apples, due to different audience definitions. In any case, YouTube will increasingly become part of ad planning discussions among TV advertisers.
• Send out the message quickly. As younger generations skip ads, it's important that brands convey a memorable marketing message in the first few seconds of the ad. This way, brands can still make an impression on ad-skippers or entice users to watch the entire ad placement.
• YouTube Red needs more unique content. The study reaffirms the notion that users can easily dismiss ads on YouTube, even in the absence of ad-blockers. For the subscription service, YouTube Red, this means that the value proposition must go beyond an ad-free experience. And it is. The company is doubling down on expensive, high-quality content, and building production studios in YouTube offices worldwide, which the platform's top creators can tap into.
