Yahoo Inc. have made a number of product announcements, primarily in the area of communications. This month marks Yahoo Mail’s 18th anniversary, and the company is celebrating that occasion by introducing a new Yahoo Mail app that is fast, intuitive and beautifully designed. Available on iOS [iPhone and iPad] and Android, the new app comes with a number of features, including smarter search, contacts management and rich compose.

Most people have an email account from more than one provider. So starting today, Yahoo Mail users can connect and manage their email accounts from Outlook.com, Hotmail and AOL Mail, right from Yahoo Mail on mobile and desktop.

Once connected, users can access Yahoo Mail’s features across all their mailboxes. [The ability to manage multiple mailboxes is rolling out globally today in the Yahoo Mail app. The desktop experience is currently available for U.S. English users, and will be coming soon to users outside of the U.S.]

Jeff Bonforte, senior vice president of communication products at Yahoo said

Email is the most prevalent way people communicate online. However, what we want from our inbox is evolving. Mobile use requires a faster and smarter inbox. Both of these needs are at the center of our new app.

In addition to speed, smarts and support for multiple mailboxes, the new app marks the introduction of Yahoo Account Key – a more secure and simple future alternative to the old password. This new feature simplifies the sign-in process with a secure and easy-to-use interface to access a Yahoo account with the tap of a button.

Dylan Casey, vice president of product management at Yahoo.

Passwords are difficult to remember and secondary sign-in verification is inconvenient and confusing. Earlier this year we launched on-demand passwords using an SMS code. We’re now taking a major leap towards a password-free future with the launch of Yahoo Account Key, which uses push notifications to give users simple and secure access using their mobile device.


Availability

The ability to manage multiple mailboxes is rolling out globally today in the Yahoo Mail app. The desktop experience is available for U.S. English users today and will be coming soon to users outside of the U.S.  Yahoo Account Key is available globally today.

The new Yahoo Mail app is available in the Apple App Store to all global users today, and rolling out to Android users in Google Play starting today. Additional information can be found on the Yahoo Tumblr

National Instruments, the provider of solutions that enable engineers & scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced the LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite, which combines software defined radio [SDR] hardware with a comprehensive software design flow to help engineers prototype 5G systems.

Wireless prototyping was previously undertaken by separate design teams using disparate design tools. The LabVIEW Communications environment enables the entire design team to map an idea from algorithm to FPGA using a single high-level representation. This approach empowers designers to focus on innovation instead of implementation, which increases the rate and quality of their prototyping.

According to Jessy Cavazos, industry director for Test & Measurement at Frost & Sullivan

SDR has become the standard for prototyping next-generation wireless systems. The addition of the FPGA to the x86 architecture has expanded the flexibility of the platform but adds the need for specialized skills and tools. LabVIEW Communications leverages existing IP, including algorithms in C and .m, so designers can integrate the right language for the right task all within a single design environment.

LabVIEW Communications is optimized for the SDR platform with a hardware-aware design environment that provides control of physical configuration, hardware constraints & system documentation in a functional software diagram. This adds the flexibility of the hardware to the software, which gives designers access to all components in the SDR platform. Using this deeply integrated solution helps designers achieve optimal performance by eliminating the need to manually map algorithms to different hardware architectures.

According to James Kimery, Director of RF and Communications at NI

LabVIEW Communications includes built-in application frameworks for WiFi & LTE that enable wireless prototypers to focus on innovating specific components of existing standards rather than designing a new algorithm from scratch. For some of the academic & industry researchers in our lead user program, this approach has cut the time to a validated prototype in half.

Shelley Gretlein, director of Software Marketing at NI, added

The number of wireless devices continues to grow exponentially despite the limitations of existing prototype tools. LabVIEW Communications helps bridge the gap between the ongoing rollout of 4G & the to-be-determined 5G standards of the future. As NI continues to innovate its SDR platform of flexible hardware and powerful prototyping software, we will enable the design of next-generation communication systems.

In today’s age, having an insurance plan that covers our health and health-related ailments is a necessity to be better equipped for the future both mentally and financially. And to be better equipped one must carefully choose their health plan by opting for a health insurance policy or a mediclaim policy.

If you are surprised to see that we used the above two as two different types of health plans, as they should be, it means you have been living in a myth believing the two to be the same thing. Health insurance and Mediclaim are in fact two different types of policies; let’s take a close look at their differences to find out if the decision to buy health insurance or a mediclaim policy is best for you.

Health insurance Policies

In this type of health plan is comprehensive in nature. It tends to cover not just the cost of treatment but also takes care of the pre and post hospitalization expenses incurred by the policyholder during the entire phase. Moreover, health insurance policies also offer potent critical illness insurance cover because such policies tend to offer coverage over 30 diseases including cancer, paralysis, cardiac arrest, renal failure, etc. An interested policyholder may or may not add-on a critical illness insurance cover in their health insurance plan.

Mediclaim Policies

The mediclaim policies are not as comprehensive as health insurance policies. Mediclaim policies mostly offer coverage that includes the cost of hospitalization and the expense of treatment meted out towards accidents or a particular ailment. Unlike health insurance policies, mediclaim policies don’t cover other crucial costs of hospitalization and also excludes the critical illness.

Basic differences between Health Insurance Policies and Mediclaim Policies

Other crucial differences between health insurance and mediclaim policies can be made on the basis of the following:

CoverageDepending on the benefits offered by a health insurance plan, it not just offers the pre and post expense of hospitalization but also covers expenditure for an ambulance and compensates the loss of income.

While in the case of mediclaim policies, it mostly takes care of the expense incurred during the course of hospitalization.

Sum AssuredIn case of a health insurance policy, the sum assured that a policyholder can avail is up to Rs. 6 Crore. While in the case of mediclaim the sum assured doesn’t exceed over Rs.5 Lakh.

RemunerationThe health insurance policyholders can avail compensation for their lost income through their policy besides availing a predefined coverage.

In the case of mediclaim policyholders, the policy reimburses the medical expenses incurred by them during treatment.

Claims The policyholder of health insurance with an accidental disability cover or critical illness insurance cover can avail the sum assured at a single go. This is one of the major reasons why health insurance policyholder can make only one claim.

While in the case of mediclaim, the policyholder can make multiple claims until they have exhausted the entire amount.
