#Spotify #India #Hindi #Tamil #Telugu #Punjabi A year after Spotify publicly expressed its intention to launch in India, the music streaming company has finally delivered. This is a notable milestone for the Swedish company, which went public last year, and has been aggressively searching for new users in global markets as competition from Apple intensifies. Spotify said it sees a big opportunity in India, one of the fastest growing music markets. To court Indian users, the company is deviating from its global playbook. The company said for the first time, Spotify Free — its free tier — will enable users to listen to any song on demand — as opposed to accessing a limited set of playlists in other markets. Additionally, its monthly premium tier starts at Rs 119 ($1.67) in India, compared to $9.99 in the U.S., €9,99 ($11.30) in France, and £9.99 ($13.25) in the U.K. The company is also offering a pay-as-you-go option, allowing users to access Spotify Premium for Rs 13 (18 cents) pe...

#BeverlyHills90210 # JasonPriestley #JennieGarth #IanZiering #GabrielleCarteris #BrianAustinGreen #ToriSpelling  Most of the core cast of 1990s teen series  Beverly Hills, 90210  are coming back to Fox for a new limited series — except it’s not quite what you expect. Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling — they’re all in. The group will star in a six-episode series titled  90210  to air this summer on Fox. Absent from the cast list are Luke Perry (who is currently on The CW’s  Riverdale ) and Shannen Doherty. But we hear “the door is open” and they could still get added as this lineup isn’t final. Here’s the twist and official description: “The core cast will all play heightened versions of themselves in a brand-new serialized drama — with a healthy dose of irreverence – that is inspired by their real lives and relationships. Having gone their separate ways since the orig...

#FyreFestival #Netflix #Hulu #BillyMcFarland #JaRule 2017's  Fyre Festival  became a viral sensation when hundreds of people expecting to party with celebrities on an island in the Bahamas showed up to an event in complete disarray. Now two documentaries, Netflix's "Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened" and Hulu's "Fyre Fraud," recount the experience of being there and shed light on the person behind it who is now in prison for fraud. Here's what we think the movies' strengths are and which one is the best to watch. Billy McFarland, the Fyre Festival founder, is in the Hulu doc, but don't expect anything revealing. Billy McFarland in "Fyre Fraud."   Hulu McFarland is all over both movies thanks to archival footage, but "Fyre Fraud" is the only one that interviewed him on camera. ( Hulu paid McFarland to be in the movie .) However, don't expect much from the footage. Outside of one t...

#Harley-Davidson  #ElectricMotorcycle #HOG Legendary but struggling American motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson is taking a big step toward its ambitious goal of getting millions of people excited about riding motorcycles again. The company gave Europeans their first look at its LiveWire Electric Motorcycle at the influential EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Italy on Tuesday. The move is part of a drive to become a world leader in electric and hybrid motorcycles and to attract a new kind of customer to the storied American brand. It is also a radical departure for Harley-Davidson, which has mostly been known for more than a century for its loud, brash motorcycles known as "hogs." The image has become so much a part of the brand that the company's ticker symbol is HOG. But the company has signaled it is time for a change as the market for bikes continues to age, literally. Almost half of all motorcycle riders are 50 or older. Harley-Davidson has especially strug...

#Diversity  #Oscars # ReginaKing #AlfonsoCuarón # Roma # MahershalaAli Over the past few years, the #OscarsSoWhite and Time’s Up movements have been pushing unceasingly for more diversity in Hollywood, both in front of the screen and behind the scenes. And while the Oscars are still overwhelmingly white and male, that work has started to pay off,  with the Academy adding multiple women and people of color to its voting body in 2017 . That was evident at the  2019 Oscars : Multiple Oscars milestones were reached, with people of color and women taking home awards that have never been claimed by anyone from their identity group before. They’re milestones worth celebrating — but it’s also worth noting how absurdly long it’s taken to get even this far. Black Panther and Roma pushed the 2019 Oscars into reaching new milestones. Black Panther  led the charge in multiple categories Black Panther ’s black-focused, women-led production team set multiple milest...

#GalaxyFold # S amsung  # foldablephone S amsung is offering a much closer look at its Galaxy Fold in a new 4-minute video. The footage of  Samsung’s foldable phone  is mostly silent B-roll, but it offers the chance to see and hear the folding phone complete with its clicks, bloops, and beeps in various modes. There’s a selection of close up shots that show the hinge of the device, the phone and tablet modes, and the slight gap when it’s closed. Samsung also shows a variety of apps, including Instagram, Google Maps, the camera in both tablet and phone mode, Netflix, and mobile games. Samsung’s DeX software is even shown, allowing the Galaxy Fold to connect to a display via USB-C and change into a more desktop-like experience. We also get to see the different color variations of the Galaxy Fold a lot more clearly. The lighting conditions in the video are a lot better than Samsung’s press event last week, so you really get a better idea of how the Galax...
