A lot of people, especially engineering students, often wonder why companies like TCS, Cognizant (CTS), Infosys, Wipro and Accenture - a.k.a. the mass recuiters - often hire so many people. Even if they pay them significantly small salaries, with the large number of people that they hire, it is only logical to ask - what do they do with such man power. Another question that comes to mind is that if they hire all these people every year, how do they manage to keep their costs low? Do they keep firing employees in large numbers too? In this article, I tell you the truth about mass recruitment processes. And it's not going to be pretty. Big IT companies like TCS, Cognizant, Accenture etc hire in huge numbers every year - they get fresher's, who are willing to learn, who do not need to be paid much and who can be put into any roles they want.

FaceApp,  the  AI-powered selfie-editing app  that’s been having another viral moment of late, has now responded to a privacy controversy that we covered earlier  here . You can find the company’s full statement at the bottom of this post. The tl;dr here is that concerns had been raised that FaceApp, a Russian startup, uploads users’ photos to the cloud — without making it clear to them that processing is not going on locally on their device. Another issue raised by FaceApp users was that the iOS app appears to be overriding settings if a user had denied access to their camera roll, after people reported they could still select and upload a photo — i.e. despite the app not having permission to access their photos. As we reported earlier, the latter is actually allowed behavior in iOS — which gives users the power to choose to block an app from full camera roll access but select individual photos to upload if they so wish. This isn’t a conspiracy, thou...

FaceApp is a free app that can be downloaded to your device from the AppStore or Google Play. Currently, there are 21 free filters in the basic version. Recently, the app has gone viral again with a lot of celebrities posting pictures of their older selves created using the app. In fact, this has started an entirely new challenge called the FaceApp challenge on various social media channels like Twitter and Instagram. Amidst all this virality, there is one question I am sure a lot of you might be asking right now. How does this FaceApp work? To be honest this question would occur in anyone's mind.

But, fret not. We did not stop just there. We have been talking to a lot of people, and following similar questions being asked on other  similar places . Below, we pr...
