California [USA], August 3 (ANI): Years after acquiring today's popular social apps WhatsApp and Instagram, Facebook is ready to give them a stamp of its ownership.
According to The Information, Facebook is rebranding the apps to "WhatsApp from Facebook" and "Instagram from Facebook", a move which marks a shift from Facebook's initial plan of allowing the apps to operate and be branded independently.
The new branding will be visible inside the apps and app stores. The change is a result of the increasing antitrust scrutiny of Facebook. The social networking giant acquired Instagram in 2012 in a USD 1 billion deal, followed by WhatsApp in a USD 19 billion deal in 2014. (ANI)

Review: GoBoult Mustang Thunder Headphones

Review: GoBoult Mustang Thunder Headphones

The last time I tried the Mustang edition buds by Boult, I felt there was a sense of getting more out of it; I expected more from this partnership. So, when Boult (now GoBoult) launched these over-ear headphones in collaboration with Ford, I knew I had to try them. I can see their goal which is to bring the high-octane spirit of the Boss 302 Mustang to our ears at a competitive price point of INR 2,999. After using them for over a month, here is my breakdown of whether they live up to the legacy.
