Lenovo to grow 25-30 per cent this fiscal with manufacturing tablets in India :  Lenovo   expects to grow by 25-30 per cent in the current financial year due to increase in demand from the education segment and large enterprises.

The plugin first released in 1996 and once supported a broad swath online content, has become increasingly irrelevant in a smartphone-centric world: iPhones never supported Flash, and it’s been just over 10 years since   Apple’s then-CEO Steve Jobs   published an open letter outlining the technology’s shortcomings.   Adobe has been planning for the end, announcing in 2017 that it would phase out Flash by the end of this year. Most web browsers have already stopped supporting Flash, and today is the official end date, with Adobe ending support itself - although there’s still one last “death of Flash” milestone on January 12, when the company will begin to block Flash content from playing.   In related news, Zynga announced recently that the end of Flash would also mean the end of FarmVille, since the game relies on the Flash plugin. Like Flash, FarmVille feels like a remnant of a bygone internet era. Launch
