Flipkart announces next Big Billion Sale dates

BENGALURU: Homegrown e-commerce giant Flipkart has announced the second edition of "Big Billion Sale," to be held between October 13 and 17.

An app-only shopping event, Big Billion Days, will offer exciting offers and unbeatable discounts across 70+ product categories for customers to shop from, the company said.
Celebrating the start of festive season, Big Billion Days will be the ultimate shopping event for customers to shop for gifts and other items for friends and family, it said

Stating that customers can shop across a range of categories during the five-day long shopping festival, Flipkart said Myntra will also be a part of Big Billion Days and will be presenting a curated selection from iconic fashion brands at never-before offers.

Flipkart had last year apologized for the glitches encountered during the 'Big Billion Day' sale, admitting its "failure" in living upto the expectations of its customers.

"India shops the most during this time of the year. With over 75% of traffic coming via mobile, we expect this app only sale to be the biggest shopping event of the year. Bigger and better as compared to last year, we have worked towards ensuring a seamless shopping experience for our customers," Flipkart head of commerce Mukesh Bansal said.

"Considering the sale will feature fantastic deals across millions of products in all categories from over 40,000 sellers, our aim is to give our consumers nothing less than 5 days to shop to their hearts content," he added.

The company has also roped in its partner banks to give Flipkart customers exclusive offers during 'Big Billion Days.

SnapGlass? HoloChat? Snapchat is secretly hiring wearable technology experts

If Snapchat made a gadget, what would it be?

That's not a rhetorical question. The social media startup, currently valued at $16 billion, is recruiting hardware experts for a stealthy new project.

Snapchat now counts nearly a dozen wearable technology vets among its ranks, as well as industrial designers who worked on Nokia phones and Logitech's popular UE Boom Bluetooth speaker, according to the LinkedIn profiles of employeesThat's intriguing because Snapchat, which boasts 100 million daily (mostly teen) users, has never produced a single physical product -- unless you count merchandise likebeach towels and backpacks. The hires suggest Los Angeles-based Snapchat is working on its first piece of consumer hardware. If it succeeds, we might start to think of Snapchat as more than a social network for sharing pictures that disappear.

Perhaps it could be the company that builds a set of smart glasses you'd actually want to wear.

"If they are actually investing in new tech, that could be great," said a virtual reality entrepreneur, who wasn't authorized to speak about a potential competitor. "They probably know that most apps in their situation have a limited lifespan and monetization potential."

A spokeswoman for Snapchat declined to comment on the project.

Snapchat glasses

As Internet giants invest in virtual reality -- Facebook paid $2 billion for Oculus, and Google is a key investor in mysterious VR startup Magic Leap -- it's no surprise that Snapchat CEO and co-founder Evan Spiegel might also make a play with smart goggles.

Snapchat in 2014 purchased Vergence Labs, a startup that makes Google Glass-like eyewear that records video of what the wearer sees. Out of 12 former Vergence employees listed on LinkedIn, five still work at Snapchat, including two consumer product designers and a co-founder of the company.

Vergence Labs sold this set of camera-equipped glasses, Epiphany Eyewear, until the company was purchased by Snapchat in 2014.

In February 2015, Snapchat began building Snapchat Research, a team now composed of over a dozen scientists and software engineers specializing in computer vision and machine learning. Other big data companies like Google and Facebook use those artificial intelligence techniques to recognize objects or people in the photos you share online. But they're also important for headsets like Microsoft's HoloLens, which use computer vision to intelligently scan the environment.

Snapchat, founded in 2011 by three Stanford University students, started out as a way to share photos that would self-destruct after just a few seconds. The idea was to free people from the fear that awkward pictures of themselves shared online might be seen by the wrong people, such as future employers. It also lets celebrities like Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Justin Bieber reach their fans in an ephemeral way.

Five years later, Snapchat is also a video streaming giant where users view over 8 billion videos a day. That means Snapchat has caught up to Facebook, where people viewed 8 billion videos a day as of November. (Snapchat famously turned down a $3 billion buyout offer from Facebook in 2013.)

Imagine a set of glasses that lets you capture videos and photos instantly. Snapchat has already patented one of the easiest ways to record multimedia on a smartphone. You just tap the shutter button in its app to take a picture, or hold it down to record a video instead.

But first, you have to pull out a phone and navigate to the Snapchat app.

As much as Google Glass was demonized, one of its most useful features was a camera that was always ready for action and captured exactly what the wearer saw. A pair of Snapchat glasses could do away with the extra steps involved in snapping a shot, and that could encourage people to use the service even more than they do now.

More people using the service means more ways for Snapchat to figure out how to make money off those fans. Right now, Snapchat makes its money from sponsored images, sponsored photo filters, and by selling the ability to replay an image that has already disappeared.

Key hires

Several recent hires also suggest Snapchat might be working on smart glasses.

Mark Dixon, a former Microsoft recruiter for the HoloLens headset, is now a member of Snapchat's team. A portion of his LinkedIn profile reads: "I'm currently building capabilities for a stealth group here on Venice Beach." Dixon, who also helped staff Microsoft's Xbox division, describes himself as "a gadget guy" who's passionate about "advancements in consumer electronics" at his LinkedIn page.Eitan Pilipski, who was hired by Snapchat in January as an engineering director, joined after a five-year stint on Qualcomm's Vuforia team. The Vuforia software harnesses computer vision techniques foraugmented reality, or AR, experiences using smartphones and smart eyewear.

A current Snapchat job posting for a "3D Computer Vision Engineer" suggests another link between the computer vision and consumer electronics efforts. Out of 74 open positions on Snapchat's job board, it's one of three listed under a previously unknown "Snap Lab" division.The only other mention of Snap Lab is in the LinkedIn profile of Kelly Nyland, Snapchat's new head of marketing, who previously helped popularize the BB-8 Sphero rolling droid toy and the Parrot AR Drone. She'll handle the "go-2-market strategy" for Snap Lab, according to her LinkedIn profile.The Star Wars-branded Sphero BB-8 rolling droid. It's one of the tech toys that Snapchat's new head of marketing, Kelly Nyland, has helped popularize.Snapchat declined to comment on Snap Lab. Nyland wasn't available for comment.Perhaps the best evidence for smart glasses is that Snapchat has an eyewear designer on its team. Lauryn Morris created frames for Michael Kors, Innovega and Zac Posen, according to her personal website. Her LinkedIn profile says she joined Snapchat in November 2014, around the time of the Vergence Labs acquisition.Two of Snapchat's engineers also have expertise in gaze tracking and speech recognition, according to their LinkedIn profiles. Both would be useful for a headset. And one former Snapchat employee wrotethat he designed "highly miniaturized and very low power electronics" for Snapchat before he left in January. The last time he designed "highly miniaturized" electronics was for Eyefluence, the startup that built these eye-tracking glasses.Razvan Turiac spent a year as an electrical engineer for Snapchat, immediately after developing eye-tracking glasses for a different company.

Analysts say recapturing the provincial capital, which is just 100km west of Baghdad, could deprive ISIL of its biggest prize of 2015. "By controlling the complex this means that we have defeated them in Ramadi," said Sabah al-Numani, a spokesman for government forces.
