How to Convert Image to Word onAndroid PhonesLong gone are the times where the only way to digitize something written on paper was to retype it on a computer. That was a really painful and time-consuming process. Just imagine students with hundreds of notes and study materials trying to digitize them all. Or stay at home moms trying to digitize their recipes so they wouldn't have them laying around the kitchen in a paper form. You could also imagine the struggle of a businessman trying to digitize tons of reports or other financial documents.
Aaron Sorkin's directorial debut feels like most of his
projects where he served solely as the writer: it has an air of
intellect presented in a very wordy fashion. Sometimes this technique
works beautifully, like it did in his "A Few Good Men." At other times
it still works, but is a bit too wordy for my taste.
"Molly's Game"
is verbose, incredibly professional looking, and hits all the right
notes at the appropriate times. This makes it a bit formulaic in
addition to accomplishing its goal of telling the story effectively. It
also benefits from being a fascinating look at a woman's exotic life
that is based in truth. As always, there is no way of knowing how close
it is to the truth, though.
Jessica Chastain plays the title character, Molly Bloom, and she also
narrates a good deal, to flesh out Molly and because Sorkin loves lots
of words. Molly has always been driven, with her father (Kevin Costner)
pushing her every step of the way.
As a young woman, Molly was
an ultra-competitive athlete from a family that included a brother just
as ambitious and even more successful. She was one of the top women
skiers. He was the top men's skier. Just as she was about to finally
break through and make it to the Olympics, she suffered a career-ending
injury.
Becoming a lawyer becomes her next goal, but it gets
derailed when she takes a job working as a personal assistant to a guy
she meets. She's not totally clear about her duties, at first, but she
learns that her boss runs private high-stakes poker games. The regulars
include actors, Wall Street bigshots, and well-to-do gamblers.
Molly is a natural and she updates how the business is run by injecting
Excel sheets to track all of the transactions. She becomes so good at it
that she runs afoul of the law and her face and story get splashed all
over the news, turning her into an infamous figure.
"Molly's
Game" jumps back and forth in time, often, as she tells the story to her
lawyer, Charlie Jaffey (Idris Elba), and her story is quite the ride.
It's a solid and sometimes gripping tale and well worth your time. One
problem I had with it is that it looks so good that even when it tosses
in the odd gritty scene, it feels too pretty to look at. Sorkin and
Chastain have given us a good if not great game.
There’s something of a lack of new flagship smartphones at MWC 2018 but Nokia has plenty of new devices to feast your eyes on, including a sleek handset to rival the Galaxy S9. Here’s our Nokia 8 Sirocco hands-on review. You would assume that Nokia’s new flagship would be one of the biggest smartphones (in terms of importance) to be unveiled at MWC but Huawei and LG have delayed their respective 2018 devices. So it’s a case of Nokia vs Samsung vs Sony. Although a Nokia 9 was a possibility, the firm has actually announced the Nokia 8 Sirocco which is quite a radical phone for HMD – the company with the rights to the Nokia brand. For now, this is the Nokia 9.
Nokia 6 (2018) UK Release Date & Specifications It's easy to forget that the Nokia 6 is a year old, given that it didn't make its way to the UK until August, but it was actually unveiled much earlier in January 2017.

Nokia 8110 4G Review: Hands-on MWC might usually be about smartphones and other high-end gadgets but a feature phone has caused quite a big of hype. HMD has re-launched the Nokia phone seen in The Matrix. Here we go hands-on with the Nokia 8110 4G. Let’s face it, sometimes old things are cooler than new one and although the Nokia 8110 4G is technically a new phone, it’s another example of the firm bringing back a classic. Following the Nokia 3310, this is the second ‘retro classic reloaded’ and although it’s been 22 years, the Nokia 8110 is back.
Nokia 7 Plus Confirmed: Release Date, Price & Specification Nokia has announced its Nokia 7 Plus at MWC 2018, a mid-range Android phone that will go on sale in April at €399 (around £350).
