Jindal slams rivals for saying ‘outlandish things’
Washington: Louisiana’s Indian American Governor Bobby Jindal has accused fellow Republican presidential candidates of saying “extreme things, outlandish things” to garner publicity ahead of primary elections.
“Right now you’ve got a lot of candidates, they’re willing to say extreme things, outlandish things to get on TV, to get in the debates,” said Jindal who currently figures at the bottom of national polls with one to two percent.
“We’re not doing that. Instead we’re offering specific ideas,” he told CBS News.
Outlining his strategy for focusing on early-voting states like Iowa, Jindal said his campaign was “on the move” in Iowa, where he plans to visit every county.
“There are a lot of candidates running that don’t have the bandwidth, don’t have the backbone, don’t have the experience to get the job done,” Jindal said. “I do.”
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who currently is running second to real estate mogul Donald Trump in the polls, came in for particular criticism for his immigration policies.
“Jeb just came out this week, just yesterday and said he is for amnesty for the millions of folks who are here in our country illegally,” Jindal said. “I think that is a mistake.”
When asked about former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee’s comments last week that President Barack Obama is marching Israelis “to the door of the oven” with the Iran nuclear deal, Jindal called the remarks “outlandish”.
“I don’t make it a practice to compare anything to the Holocaust. I think that was a horrific evil,” Jindal said.
But he also warned against losing sight of the larger concerns: “I think the bigger issue is we must not sign a bad deal that could start a nuclear arms race.”
Fox News, which is hosting the first Republican presidential debate on August 6 in Cleveland, Ohio has said “the top 10 of an average of the five most recent national polls” as of August 4 at 5 p.m. will take the stage in the main event at prime time.
The remaining six would be relegated to a secondary forum at 5 p.m. the same day.
Meanwhile, a new poll released on Wednesday saw Trump leading the Republican field with 31 percent of the vote, followed by Bush at 15 percent and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker in third place at 13 percent.
Jindal was at the bottom of the Emerson College Poll with 0.1 percent.
On the Democratic side, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton holds a significant lead with 54 percent of the vote with Senator Bernie Sanders in second at 33 percent and Vice President Joe Biden, who is yet to announce his candidacy at 9 percent.
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
