IBM, Intel, Qualcomm join dozens of tech companies to argue against net neutrality

The debate over net neutrality got a touch more heated this week as IBM, Intel, and Qualcomm joined companies like Broadcom, Panasonic, and Juniper Networks to collectively ask the government not to invoke Title II — i.e the common carrier provision — in an attempt to enforce net neutrality. In a joint letter to Congress and the FCC itself, the companies collectively argue that proposed regulation under Title II would damage corporate competitiveness, network upgrades, and the overall customer experience. They aren’t subtle, either — the letter argues that:


Reversing course now by shifting to Title II means that instead of billions of broadband investment driving other sectors of the economy forward, any reduction in this spending will stifle growth across the entire economy. This is not idle speculation or fear mongering.

Wanna bet?

Unfortunately for the authors of the letter, recent remarks by both Verizon and AT&T have blown apart the previous posturing claims that one or both companies would sharply reduce its investment in infrastructure if Title II were to pass. After initially attempting to argue that Title II would be disastrous, both firms have backed off or repudiated such statements. Readers may recall that during its failed bid to buy T-Mobile, AT&T threatened to never build out 4G LTE networks if it didn’t receive permission to buy the smaller company. After failing to secure permission, AT&T… went right on building out its 4G LTE capacity.

Fight for the Future, protesting the new FCC net neutrality laws
Fight for the Future, protesting the new FCC net neutrality laws
Dig into the supporting documents, and it’s astonishing how quickly such facts change. When Comcast went to court in 2011 to defend its proposed merger with NBC, it specifically argued that Time Warner was a significant competitor and that it needed to merge with NBC to more effectively challenge the media titan. Fast forward to 2014, and suddenly Comcast and Time Warner don’t compete at all.

There is a demonstrated link between higher bandwidth speeds and economic growth, and the rise of services like Netflix are proof that the broad availability of higher speeds can fuel new business models. What’s less talked about, however, is whether America’s broadband policies actually work against the economic uplift that higher bandwidth offers by encouraging service stratification and narrow buildouts into high-end markets, while middle- and lower-class areas are left with bottom-end service tiers and limited availability.

Furthermore, the argument that increased regulation automatically destroys competitive positioning is decisively undermined by the United States’ ranking on any number of competitive charts compared to other OECD countries. We pay more per megabit than most developed nations for both wireless and wireline service. It’s hard to argue that the United States is uniquely privileged by virtue of our regulatory environment when American wireless telcos lag worldwide deployments so dramatically. In March 2014, AT&T demonstrated an LTE-Advanced network capable of 110Mbps. Multiple European and Asian providers already offer 300Mbps capability.

AverageBroadband

Data from Canada’s government comparisons illustrate this starkly. The graphs are a bit hard to read, but the United States is the maroon line sitting well above everybody else.

No, wholesale government regulation and a return to the Ma Bell days of the mid-20th century isn’t the answer, but no one is proposing that kind of comprehensive regulatory scheme, least of all the FCC. While details remain unknown, the broad thrust of the argument is to apply Title II to specific areas where Section 706 has already been ruled invalid.

As much as I respect the companies that signed on to this letter, they’re drawing bad conclusions here. Yes, technical innovation and deployment remain essential to prosperity in the 21st century, but the fact is, America isn’t leading either wired or wireless deployments. We lag on speed, we lag on price, we lag on availability. The facts make these kind of arguments awfully hard to swallow. The President has asked the FCC to use Title II, while Tom Wheeler favors the hybrid approach, but no decision has been made at this time.

Mozilla moves closer to releasing Firefox for iOS

For the wonderful Firefox diehards, iOS platform has always been a bit of a sore spot, awwwww, it hurts. Mozilla dabbled on Apple’s platform a few years back with an app dubbed “Firefox Home,” but the company in question has largely shied away from iOS due to Apple’s restrictions surrounding rendering engines & more other reasons. Now, Mozilla is changing course, and bringing a version of Firefox to iOS running WebKit — Gecko be damned. Can this strategic decision help turn the table in Mozilla’s favor, or is the move to WebKit a nail in Firefox’s coffin?


Earlier 2 weeks ago, Mozilla’s Johnathan Nightingale announced the development of Firefox on iOS to the audience at Mozlandia in Portland, Oregon. Later on, a short blog post went up at Mozilla.org confirming the move onto iOS. The company is still in the early days of development of this release, so details remain relatively sparse for the time being until now. At this point, not even the development team knows what the final product will look like or what role it will play..

Firefox iPad Frankly, this announcement came in as a surprise to all. A year ago, Mozilla stood strongly against Apple’s hardheaded refusal to allow alternative rendering engines on iOS. Now, Mozilla seems totally willing to play ball in exchange for access to Apple’s massive user base. If i'm to guess right, this is happening due to the tepid response Firefox OS has seen since launch.

Well, Of course it is very possible that the WebKit engine may end up serving as little more than a fallback by the time this finished product sees the light of day. Other browsers like Photon and Opera can use the cloud to render web pages, and that seems to successfully skirt around Apple’s strict rules about third-party rendering engines on the iOS device itself. If Mozilla is up for the challenge, a fully-featured Firefox browser could potentially make its way to iOS with Gecko intact. Is that worth the massive overhead and potential technical issues, though? Not too worry, surely Only time will tell.

If you want to see Firefox on iOS for yourself, you can head over to the official Mozilla GitHub page, and download all of the latest code. You’ll need to compile and sideload the app onto the iPhone yourself, but at least you’ll get a nice window into the development process. Just remember, the developers clearly warn the public not to “get too attached to this code,” because there will almost certainly be huge overhauls before it’s ready for public consumption.

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 11.6-inch Ultrabook with Windows 8 for JUST $700

Lenovo’s ThinkPad Helix is a powerful convertible, designed to be more than ultra portable and loaded with business-ready features including Windows 8 Pro and others. Right now Lenovo is
slashing up to about a 55% off the regular price, dropping your cost down to just $700 for this
very capable mobile like laptop. Its quite more than comfortable for me and less expensive as
well..


This laptop has lots of power, at first i doubted but after seeing the review of this machine i was
forced to acknowledge the fact that a car may be small but its engine is powerful. Well this machine
is an Intel Core i5-3337U low-voltage processor and it provides strong enough performance for
both office and multimedia purposes whether for watching of movies, streaming, programming,
think of it. It also as a 128GB solid state drive that gives its users a very high speed access to all
your data and information as well as quick boot and back to resume mode. Of-course 4GB of RAM
will let you multitask with ease without not even a moment of slowness. The 11.6-inch multi-touch
display features a full 1920×1080 display that’s lit at a bright 400-nits, quite higher than that of
most mini laptops. With Windows 8 Pro, you’ll be able to take full advantage of the touch display
as well as utilize the professional software/programs with this machine..


This machine (Lenovo’s Helix) actually allows you to easily detach the tablet from its spill-
resistant keyboard dock, more like a tablet and a  after which you can re-attach it facing either
the same direction or just keep the tablet separate, thereby giving you numerous options for how
you may want to or choose to use it. The tablet portion includes dual-facing cameras, with a 5MP
shooter on the back and a 2MP webcam in the front for videoconferencing, for Skype and more,
WOW!!! There’s a six hour battery in the tablet by itself, but this grows to ten hours when it’s
docked with the keyboard.

Connectivity is very strong on the Helix, nothing to be worried about.  I mean with dual-band
WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, a mini Display Port, a USB port, and a SIM slot built-into the display. Again
the dock expands your functionality, adding a pair of USB 3.0 ports and another mini

Display Port
Tapping a touchscreen is fun and generally works well, but for moments when you need a precise
touch, the Helix ships with a digitizer pen mre like a light pen. This ultra book is highly mobile, coming in at 0.5-inches and 1.8lbs while detached, and still just 0.8-inches and 3.8lbs when it’s a clamshell. Its Multimedia aspect will sound good on just any laptop despite its small size it includes stereo speakers and Dolby home theater. More lovely is that this Lenovo covers it with a one year warranty. Acquire this versatile notebook today for a great price before it expires.

The best Apple iPad Air and mini tablet deals of Black Friday 2014

They may not be as interesting as they once used to be, but Apple iPads are still the best holiday present, and getting the best deal on one has become a Black Friday tradition as we all know. That's a huge thank you in part to Apple's unwillingness to put its products on sale with any regularity. The result? This has made lots of retailers to be very creative when participating in maybe a differentiate deal and also be ready to the competition - Well the prices are quite different when it comes to products like this, that's why there are a lot of places to check based on the labelled price.




In many cases, the answer has been to offer store gift cards when you purchase an Apple product for the specified labelled price. That can be a nice way of enticing a customer, especially one who want to buy other items in the store, but not very exciting if you are not interested. Another good option is to try to purchase a previous or old generation of iPad, which has become a popular option as the rate of innovation in the tablet space has winnowed. Great, right ?


Here are the best deals that were available this last Black Friday on a half-dozen iPad models, including the free gift card specials that many shoppers appreciate those stores who had the offer. Since new deals can crop up at any time in the week leading up the shopping holiday -Apple, for instance, waits until the last minute before posting its deals -

LG Viper LTE Smartphone and USB modem with free talk, text, data for $70

Well the FreedomPop continues to shake up the market with its $0 per month cell phone plans, and as its Black Friday yesterday, they offered and are still offering a great deal on a certified pre-owned LTE smartphone and USB modem. Together the pair will cost you just $70. Additionally, as always with FreedomPop, you’ll not need to pay again to continue getting free cell and internet service. Compared to a traditional phone or internet bill, this is ofcource a great means of saving huge amounts.



The offer here is a phone, the LG Viper, an LTE smartphone originally released for Sprint. The phone has some pretty amazing features such as a 4-inch 800×480 display, a dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, giving you enough power for basic multimedia use or casual gaming or so, depending on the user.. It also have a 5MP camera behind and a LED flash that can take HD pictures, and it’s also equipped with a VGA front-shooter for video chats. The Android 4.0 is also there, 2GB built-in memory expandable via microSD, GPS, Bluetooth, and even NFC, this will be a capable smartphone for most users. I so love this

As 9jalinks said above, FreedomPop’s plan is JUST 100% free, but the free plan won’t be for everyone. That plan provides you with 200 voice minutes for voice calls, 500 texts and 500MB of 4G data monthly. That’s enough for light usage and a great value considering it’s free, but real good internet users who are always busy with the phone will exhaust this plan more quickly than expected. FreedomPop includes a free trial of their unlimited talk/text plan with this bundle, so it becomes so very possible to chat and SMS to your heart’s content for a month and enjoy the service. Here is the deal, should you be a really good internet user and happens to need more than 500MB of data though, an unlimited data plan (first 1GB 4G, then infinite unthrottled 3G) is available as well. WINKS

As for the USB modem it is Completely free when bundled with this phone, it might interest you to know that this bundle when subscribed to is quite compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS and more, so you will be able to get mobile data on pretty much any device with a USB port. Not only do you get the modem for free, you also get a free trial of the avialable  Premium plan for USB modems, which entails a solid 2GB of 3G/4G data. Again, there’s a plan that gives you 500MB of 4G data completely for free should you decide you don’t need the paid plan, and you’ll have a month to figure that out.


All together, this offer comes out to a certified pre-owned LG Viper ($399.99 value new) with a free unlimited talk/text trial ($10.99 value), and a certified pre-owned U600 nationwide modem ($249.99 value new) with a free premium trial ($19.99 value), plus free shipping, all for only $70. Grab this bundle while it’s here and see if you can save big on your cell phone or internet bills today...

Motorola launches DROID Turbo

Well HTC are one of the best smartphone producers, but i think Motorola is ready to show its products as well as it has launched its DROID Turbo which will be available in the US market via Verizon amongst other countries. Droid Turbo offers amazing battery life and an impressive design. The new model will replace Verizon's Droid Maximum and offers up to about 48 hours of battery backup.


This Droid Turbo will be available in Ballistic Nylon model in Black and Red (without the Ballistic Nylon option). This new model also comes with an impressive camera. Motorola has offered a camera with better quality pictures. Many technology news websites have compared the camera quality of Motorola Droid Turbo and Moto X. They have arrived at this conclusion; The quality of images is certainly better for Droid Turbo, as per technology blog SlashGear. the new Droid Turbo offers 5.2-inch QHD AMOLED display. The high screen resolution of 1440x2560 offers high quality browsing and video viewing experience, As always this one comes with an Android Kit Kat 4.4.2 and will get an upgrade to Android 5.0 Lollipop. #mind-blowing#


Most of the smartphones run resource intensive applications and usually require frequent charging to extend battery life, Not much of a Good news for all gamers like me who always wants to keep ourselves busy with the phone, the battery drainage is even faster. Although, Motorola has tried to address that important issue with its latest model.

Compared to previous versions like Motorola Moto X 2014 RAM of 2GB, the Droid handset comes with 3GB RAM. The storage has been improved to 32GB and 64GB. Powered by Snapdragon 805 Quad Core processor, Motorola Droid Turbo is another "expensive but worth it" handset offered by Motorola.

The Lenovo Smartphone (tabs) producing company acquired Motorola from Google. The Chinese electronics major has arrived at a conclusion to keep running Motorola division and its brand as an independent product. Lenovo is also planning to setup a new company for manufacturing smartphones to compete with homegrown smartphone major Xiaomi.

HP introduces 3D printer with Multi Jet Fusion technology

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has made its first foray into 3D printing with the announcement of a yet unnamed 3D printer. The aim of introducing this printer is with the hope that it will revolutionize the 3D printing and manufacturing industries.





















At a media event in New York just last week, the HP manufacturing company showcased its Multi Jet Fusion technology, it is one that leverage's the company's strength in inkjet paper printing, also using massive 3D print heads that can handle up to 10,000 nozzles at a time, amazing right? The result? The HP company says; is a 3D printer that can print out objects 10 times faster and with more precision than today's high-end machines, which typically use a method known as selective laser sintering, one that uses lasers to heat and fuse powders.

Contrasting other products, the HP's Multi Jet Fusion technology uses a print bar that jets out 350 million drops per second with a precision of 21 microns, which allows the printer to generate 1,000 new gears in three hours. This process starts with a material coating process, then later followed by the application of fusion agents using a print bar that scans over the material. The Next step is that the materials are detailed before being exposed to an energy source for the final fusion. Using selective laser sintering, it will have to take 83 hours to produce the same number of gears, says HP.

HP enjoys a solid reputation before and more now in the traditional printing industry, but they have seen 3D printing, which has yet to take off into the mainstream manufacturing industry, as a potential way to expand its business. HP also says that it has  other plans of expanding the business beyond the use of thermoplastics and create new printing materials such as metal and ceramic. We are also hoping that they can accommodate the full spectrum of colors it already uses for traditional ink and paper printing.

"As we examined the existing 3D print market, we saw a great deal of potential but also saw major gaps in the combination of speed, quality and cost," HP senior vice president for inkjet and graphics solutions Stephen Nigro, says.

He also added by saying that after the examination of the current 3D printing technologies they are developing, HP decided that the best solution is to take advantage of its home grown inkjet technology to create a 3D printer that can rapidly build layer after layer of fused material into whatever object one wishes to create. Simply amazing, i love this guys

"In the future, it enables printing of almost any product - a chip, a phone, headphones," says analyst Pat Moorhead at Moor Insights and Strategy. "This is the long-term future, but could fundamentally change the way we manufacture."

HTC Desire V – First Dual Sim Smartphone Launched By HTC

The HTC factory has decided to introduce two brand new devices recently. HTC has launched its Desire series of Smartphones that created much excitement among HTC users fans. The two devices within this range are HTC DESIRE V and HTC DESIRE VC. Well, as for HTC DESIRE VC, it is a first ever dual SIM (2 sim) phone to be produced by HTC with Android ICS 4.0 along with Beats audio powered by a 1.0GHz single core processor, Amazing right ? Dual SIM phones are available in the market from time immemorial, we have the popular Tecno Phones everywhere, but It’s not a very big thing to be considered these days. But when a popular developer comes with a smartphone that has dual SIM functionality, then it’s quite a very big thing to consider...



Display screen
The HTC Desire V has a 4 inch WVGA touch screen display. With a screen resolution of 800 by 480 pixels, visuals appear well enough.

Display
Processor/Software
The device gets its power from a 1.0 single core  Quanlcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon processor with Adreno 200 GPU.the phone has a RAM worth 512MB. The phone is dominated by Android Ice cream sandwich 4.0 and HTC Sense 4, it also a CPU speed of 1GHZ...

htc desire v processor

Camera
HTC Desire V has a primary camera 5PM, 2592 X 1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash . HTC image chip is absent in this model. The camera cannot capture high definition videos but only with some lower resolution.

htc desire v camera

Other features
HTC Desire V weighs around 114 grams. There is an internal memory storage of 4GB that is expandable via microSD cards. The device runs on with the power of a 1650mAh battery. The appealing unibody design is another plus factor for HTC Desire V. due to the dual SIM functionality of the phone, users can attend calls from the other network while talking on or using the other second SIM network.

Design
HTC Desire V has been designed beautifully with a high quality and polished covering, all thanks to the unibody design. There is an iconic touch in HTC Desire V’s design. There is a status bar at the top of the screen that displays both SIM’S network info. The desired SIM network can be selected from the status bar to make call or send messages.

Cost
The HTC Desire V is available at the cost of US dollars 498. Its seems like you are just paying for the dual SIM functionality. For a phone with single core processor, the price seems much high.

Verdict
HTC Desire V does not have that spark that we all found in the HTC ONE series of smart phones. The single core processor in HTC Desire V counts another minus point for the phone as almost all other smartphones of same range of other manufacturers are powered by dual core powerful processors. The single core processor causes Desire V to depict sluggishness when using and operating the phone.  The dual SIM feature is the only factor that makes the device stands out among other similar range smart phones.

The legendary Hewlett-Packard reportedly is about to become two companies.

According to the news, they will be splinted in a form that One will focus on the firm’s personal computer and printer business while the other on its business hardware and services, according to a story in today’s Wall Street Journal.



The publication, citing “people familiar with the matter,” said the split may be made public as early as tomorrow..

The Journal also said that current CEO Meg Whitman will become CEO of the enterprise-oriented company, while the independent director Patricia Russo will be chairman. Whitman will serve as chairman of the PC/printer firm, and exec Dion Weisler will be CEO.

Well i presume the reason for this change is because HP has been struggling with its dual selves of being oriented toward businesses’ high-end needs and toward personal computers and printers. Several company executives have discussed spinning off its PC unit in the past, only to be followed by the company asserting its long-term interest in PCs.

In the year 2000, as some of us may know, Agilent Technologies split off from HP, taking with it the test and measurement equipment business that was HP’s first line of business.

This company has reigned and its still reigning as the no 1 PC maker in the world, even if dropped to second place last year in the rankings of industry research firm IDC, after Lenovo, i still prefer Hp over any, its durable, and most of all it has a second hand value in my country....  Its printer/personal systems group rakes in about $56 billion in fiscal 2013, about half the company’s total, but sales are down about seven percent from the previous year.

Stanford student reveals Facebook Messenger payment feature

A payment mechanism for Facebook Messenger appears to be getting closer.


On Saturday, a Stanford University computer science student Audrew Aude tweeted that he had found a payment feature in Facebook Messenger, which he dug out with the developer tool Cycript.

Also a Security researcher Jonathan Zdziarski posted last month that he found payments-related code in Messenger, and Aude said that discovery prompted him to look further.

As at June 2014, Facebook hired ex-president of PayPal David Marcus to take the reins of Facebook Messenger, and that hiring ramped up speculation that a payment feature was coming to the app.

CEO Mark Zuckenberg mentioned on an earnings call during the summer that Facebook would be implementing some form of ecommerce in its Messenger mobile messaging app, but his comments suggested the launch was “years” away because the company wanted to get it right.

Aude reported on the Twitter platform that, “with FB messenger, you attach money just like you attach a photo or a location. You don’t even have to link a bank account.”

Although PayPal is apparently mentioned in the code, Aude said he didn’t see a PayPal option when he tried it out. Only debit cards can be used in the present incarnation, he said — no credit cards or bank accounts — and there are only person-to-person transactions. Payment between multiple participants is mentioned in a note as a later option, Aude said.

The transaction is made via an ACH electronic transfer to the checking account of the recipient, although it’s not yet clear how the recipient’s bank account is entered. Unlike so many other things you do on Facebook, Aude said the payment transaction is kept private from your friends.

Facebook has not commented on the report.

HTC Set To Release Its Exclusive Apps To The Rest Of Android

HTC is set to release its in-house apps to other android enabled devices.

HTC has been making Android skins and apps for a long time, but now the company wants its home-grown software to conquer more devices.According to report from Recode, the Taiwanese phonemaker has started developing apps for Android phones in general, courtesy of a new business unit called HTC Creative Labs.

The Creative Labs team’s first product is called Zoe (originally available on the One M7), which has the power to stitch together up to 16 videos or images. You merely need to select a theme along with the images/videos, as well as a soundtrack, and it can automatically create a highlight reel.. HTC also developed Zoe to be able to share creations, so friends and family can tweak them, perhaps in an effort to come up with an Instagram or Vine of its own.
Still, the app’s pretty basic at this point, and while it’ll be available to competitors like Samsung and LG, it can only be installed on high-end devices loaded on with al least a version 4.4 Android


HTC has plans to help boost Zoe’s presence despite those limitations, though, including forging partnerships with music and sports companies.

The new Zoe will come out later this week, with more to follow, as the Creative Labs team plans to release other HTC apps from its own phones’ confines in the future.

There are some apps on your Android phone that may seem to be stubborn when it comes to moving them and saving more space on your phones, to make it more FASTER AND RESPONSIVE, Well its a good news to you and a bad news to all those applications, because no matter how stubborn they may seem to be, there are apps that are more stubborn than them now. So their days of been over your phone memory or memory card  are over. From now on they will have to answer to you, easily and the fastest way they can..

I'm going to talk about two apps that allows you to move apps from your phone memory to your SD CARD memory without stress. There are several other apps that can do it quite well, but the two apps below are recommended because they seem to be best i have seen and used.

Number 1 on the list is the APP2SD
This APP2SD app displays the total capacity of your SD card and Phone memory. It also has the ability to tell which app can be move and which app cannot, Although it can move all movable apps to your desired destination. it is available in the Google play store should you decide to download it..



Second on the list is the Force2SD app
I can boldly say the name speaks for it, tell me your name and i will tell you who you are i guess, lol.  Prior the above one and any other app, the Force2SD app has the ability to force all the stubborn apps in your phone, As far to some default apps. Force2SD application moves all of them to your SD card. All you need do is to make sure the device you are moving all those apps to has enough memory capacity to store those files and apps.

The Telegram Messenger - Latest instant messaging app

Telegram is a new social instant messaging app, its like SMS and email combined — fast, versatile, easy to use and understand, mind blowing and powerful. With this new app you can send messages, pictures, videos and files of any format i.e (doc, zip, mp3, etc) to persons on your phone contacts who are using the Telegram app. It is also possible for a user (you & me) to create groups for up to 200 people, where we can all share ideas about topics relating to us. Apart from that With  this Telegram app you can do all of this on any number on your devices, both on mobile and on desktop.


As i have seen and read, Telegram is now among one of the most professional messaging software's ever produced, though it is a new software, but it is more kind of advance with more features than Whatsapp Messenger, BBM, So this had made it in vogue and it takes a stand now to wrestle with Whatsapp Messenger and others in the media world.

According to the media, this app already has more than 4 million users . Like we all know the 2go messenger came sometime ago and took time to steal some of us into downloading it, and after some time MR. Whatsapp took a chance and 2go was brought to nothing, i think there is a great competition going on in the media world right now because everything they do now is upgrade... This is surely going to be fight between the whatsapp industry and the Telegram's..... For me, if any of them can produce a feature that will enable uses to call its contacts then i know they are serious, Because VIBER is leading them all with their feature of calling members in your contacts..


SOME FEATURES OF THIS NEW APP.

It's Free, compared to the Whatsapp Messenger that give a year trial. (Note whatsapp will tell you to pay, simply uninstall your whatsapp and download it again, register and your done. The payment aspect must have been gone by then.... Easy!!)

Another feature is that it allows unlimited chat upload..
You messages can be accessed with multiple device on Telegram Messenger.
The app is ADS FREE
Telegram app is available for all platforms, which also includes java phones (C1, C1, EXPRESS NOKIA, X2 AND MANY OTHERS)
It is possible for you to change your background picture just like whatsapp, you can also choose a desired username and also your display/profile picture and lots more features

To Get Telegram Messenger for Your Device
» It is available for Android
» It is available for iOS
» It is available for Blackberry
» It is available for Java and Symbian Phones
» It is available for Windows Phone
» It is available for Desktops/Laptops as well.
LOL, it so happened that i am the first to use it among my contacts, because after registering, no one was using it.. ADD ME UP 08138976743!!!!
You dont have to be scared about your weak connection due to the bad weather, all you have to do is download the app, register, send messages under the rain and get your reply ASAP, no stress, No PAIN, ALWAYS GAIN....!!

Apple iPhone 6 finally launched.. Bigger & Better

Photos of the new Apple iPhone 6 have been around lately and has shown that there are
indeed some new features which were lacking in previous versions….
This new version of this mobile phone is already packaged and ready to hit the shelves.
New pictures have emerged which appear to show scratch proof alloy Liquid metal being
used in the new iPhone 6.

As we all know, This material is designed to make the Apple logo nearly impossible to
mark, this is according to luxury iPhone modifiers Feld & Volk.
The designers in Moscow-based said that some new pictures of the machine will be shown
to us very soon, and now we already have it in the market, ready to be purchased, heheheh.



This machine has features like, recessed buttons down the side which is designed to stop
the user accidentally changing the volume & lots more..

Apple has said it time and again in words of expression, stressing their interest in using
Liquid metal in products in time past and speculation has even suggested the technology
giants could use the material in the phone’s body.

According to producers, this Liquid metal is stronger than the all popular titanium, but can
still can be molded into intricate shapes as desired. Speculation had been made and i have heard that the smartphone’s new casing could use a light-up logo, which can determine if you have a new message, a missed call or even when it was going to rain. The logo has been a rumored feature in most recent updates of the iPhone since it was launched in 2007

Have you got more, tell us

Google Acquires Directr, An App For Shooting Short clips On Your Phone

Will they ever stop ? If yes, when ? For me i dont think so, they are simply moving forward, so we all gotta run along so we are not left outta the race.. Directr, an app released as at 2012, has been bought by Google a couple of weeks ago...
This Directr is a mobile application company that provides users with the ability to create beautiful and short movies on their phones in just a matter of minutes. The app automatically edit/sync your videos on your phone and make moving and sharing such videos very easy for everyone. Besides the purpose of making short clips, the app is also used businesses purposes, it can be used to shoot videos for marketing purposes, then you can choose to upload them to Facebook and YouTube, for instance, or embed them in newsletters,blogs, or websites.
The app also provides help with features like frame selection, building a storyboard & more, to provide “point-and-shoot movie making” on a smartphone.



Back then the app was worth US$25 and $400 a month, and this usually depends on the features and amount of usage for that specified month. For some reasons best known to them, Directr has decided that the app will be free but we do not know if there would be any improvements on it, sure they will because they are now in the hands of Google. This i confirmed from their website, i quote:

“For now, everything you love about Directr is staying the same and we’ll continue to focus on helping businesses create great video quickly and easily,” Directr said on its website.

“One immediate bonus: Directr will soon be all free, all the time. Thanks, YouTube!”

The 2-year-old company is joining YouTube’s video ads team.

Some details of this app
Founded: January 1, 2012
Headquarters: Boston, MA
Description: Directr is a mobile application company providing users with the ability to create movies on their phones.
Founders: Max Goldman, Eli Schleifer
Categories: Film, Private Social Networking, Entertainment, Photography
Website: http://directr.co


For now the app is only for Apple’s iOS. Versions for android have not be produced yet, but im sure as time goes on Google will do something about it.. The app is in two forms: one for personal use, and the other for business, so while registering, note these 2 functions. The personal usage is clearly on videos you have made and want to share with your family and friends, videos you may have gotten from social gatherings, tourism, travel videos and more. this version is kinda free but downloading a finished video cost about 99 cents. As for the other usage which is the business purpose, the videos are for teaching companies to shoot things like testimonials, product demonstrations, adverts and more. .. The business version cost $250-$500 a year, depending on what features you may be needing.

In a grand total, the Directr app had raised around $1.7M to date

How To Make Your Android Mobile Phone Faster And Responsive

Many at times you may hear some andriod phones users complaining about the speed of their phone, some complain of hanging problems, others complains of slow boot, while some others complain about the unresponsiveness of the phone, maybe due to booting process or due to the slow rate of opening APPS on the phone... So, we are going to be dealing with this issue because today I'm going to show you some ways, about 6 ways i have been able to make my android phone much more faster and responsive.

How can we do that ? you may ask.... Well lets see

1. It is very important to Delete any Un-used Applications, I'm wondering why i will still be keeping some applications that doesn't fall on my nitch on my phone, surely they will be occupying space at the same time reducing my speed....
You can remove any un-used app from your mobile, by going to settings > applications > select the application and select uninstall..

2. While some of us may switch off our phones at night and power on our phones in the morning, like myself i dont do that.. So for those of us who allows our phone to stay on all through the night, its a good thing to restart the phone in the morning before usage.. This will help to release occupied memory spaces due to opened programs and as well boost your mobile from hanging from time to time...

3. Try to Delete all Irrelevant Apps, sometimes we may open a friends phone and see that there are lots of apps in it, wow we praise them and are glad, but we fail to know that adding all such apps are not what really matters. Imagine having more than one Antivirus, DU BATTERY BOOSTER AND THEN HAVING BATTERY SAVER, whats the point ?? SWAG ? Hell no, SIMPLY DUMB.. Surely removing such apps and making our phones moderate will be a very great start..



4. Always Update Your mobile Anti-Virus to help fight the viruses, worms and all that.
Updating is not the problem, you should also try to frequently scan through your phone memory as well as your SD cards. You could do this on a schedule, it may be before going to bed, in the morning when you wake up, 5pm every day and so on and so forth.. Some antivirus has that features, its called AUTO SCAN of mobile by the time set, NETQIN for example...

5. Another way for increment of phone speed is saving some Apps to Memory Card (SD card), for those with big memory spaces like 4GB, GB, 16GB, 32GB..When an APP is Saved to the memory card it creates free space for the mobile inbuilt memory and this will enable the phone carry out all other tasks easily and with speed..

6. Try to Delete Read & Sent Messages, especially those from service providers like, MTN, AIRTEL ESPECIALLY, ETISALAT, GLO... SMS'S from these service providers can occupy and shocking amount of your memory, at some point they may occupy 35, 40kilobytes. MTN business tips can occupy up to 1MB. Now imagine you have up to 200 of such messages, what will be happening to your mobile then ? Cripping and struggling like a baby learning how to walk..

These are some of the ways, Do you know any other way ? Why not drop your comments or rather visit our GUEST POSTING  PAGE TO DROP YOUR TOPIC HERE.....

Unlock any phone - U.S. House passes bill to allow mobile phone unlocking

Have you ever bought a cell phone on one carrier and then tried to use it with another carrier? Unfortunately, as you all would probably know, it doesn’t always work out the way you want with carrier restrictions, and others, plus we all know the drill. Oh, i could do it if i really want to, but then getting ready to “jailbreak” your phone has already been declared and noted as illegal at least in the United States as at May 2012 or so. Can we actually call it legal after buying the phone? After all, it’s my phone, its your phone, could be your mum's phone or even Dad's – it’s may not be the wireless carrier’s phone – so why shouldn’t i, why shouldn't you, why shouldn't we be able to unlock it to use with whatever network we want? Thankfully, im glad to let you know that there is a new bill ready to become law known as “Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act”, and im sure as hell that , me, you, we, us, we will all be able to legally unlock our phone soon and use it with whatever network we desire.....


As stated, this is a pretty big reversal of what was originally signed into law back in 2012 which made unlocking your phone a crime.

Set That Phone Free!

Well,i guess you and me were not the only people affected by this change back in 2012 guess it went far to as the SENATE level, So the new bill is really as a result of a lot of people who’ve participated in a lot of activism over the past couple of years, and has already went through the Congress and the Senate. And so, It appears all that’s left before it’ll become law is for President Obama to sign it, thereby completing its journey.

This is absolutely a welcome great change as sometimes people like me and you really desire to change our network and have until now been (legally) unable to do so. It’s a big enough problem changing wireless providers without having to worry about getting another phone, especially if you’re happy with one you already have.


Hmmmmm, your so gonna love this because the President of the United states has himself signed into law, (SEE FOR YOURSELF), a bill that allows all American's who desire to unlock their phone can do that with ease.... Which simply means that i, you and we can decide to choose our own carrier.
As many of us know, Unlocking  of phones was made illegal as at the first month of the year 2013, when an exemption to the DMCA expired. The bill CALLED the bi-partisan bill, was passed last week by the U.S. House of Representatives, after already being approved by the Senate for all US citizens who wish to can go ahead and unlock their phone. As it’s called, the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act is only active until 2015, so we're hoping it is extended more than that as time goes on...

 For now, it ensures that we all have a choice in matters of our mobile device, our carrier and all that as long as our phone is compatible with that particular carrier’s network you so desire and you’ve complied with your previous contract. And so, even if you don’t fancy yourself as technologically able to do this yourself, the bill permits or allows you to feel free and seek help from external bodies, maybe friend, relatives that are capable or equal to the task..

Hey my friend, whats holding you back ??? Go AHEAD AND UNLOCK THE DAMN PHONEEEE, FEEL FREE ABOUT IT....

Create, rename or remove a desktop shortcut in Windows

Desktop shortcuts are a very important feature in windows operating system, they can be almost anything including your favorite software, regularly-used documents, folders with music or photos, files and more. Sometimes we may create a shortcut for some of our favorite programs for us to have easy access, some other times while the installation process of a program goes on there is a Command prompt that asks for creating shortcuts in the desktop background... Whatever way the case may be, there are 2 simple ways to create a desktop shortcut, we are going to see how to.
As i have mentioned before, the desktop shortcuts can be just any file, any application or any folder on your PC. So, the steps for each will surely differ slightly but note that the main/basic procedures remains the same..

lets see how the first method looks like, Well the first thing to do is to locate the program by clicking on the start menu or windows button, all programs and then select the program, if the program is among your recently used program, then click on the microsoft windows button and locate the program there.. After locating the program, all you need to do is to click and hold and drag the program to your desktop and drop it there, while dragging the program you will see something below it like, Drag link to desktop, thats all shortcut created...
(see image)



The second way is quite easy, but it applies to folders and files, lets see how it goes
    The first step is to locate the file/folder as usual, then Click on the file's icon and right click on it, next thing to do is to click on Create shortcut from the list of options displayed, then left-click on Desktop (Create Shortcut).


Either ways your shortcuts is sure to appear on your desktop background

One noteworthy thing about this topic is actually the difference between a shortcut and an actual file's icon, most times people tent to delete an actual file thinking its the shortcut, ofcource deleting a shortcut is no big deal but when a computer user tempers with just one of the files making up that program, i dont need to say the result, we all know its gonna be a problem to the user and to that particular system or application software as well.

Its no big deal if we have decided to change the name of a created icon, how may we do this?
Simply right-click on the created shortcut's icon, Click on rename, Give it a new name by typing and press the enter key, We could also click on the created shortcut's icon and then press F2, after which we type the new name.

We can delete a shortcut file by simply pressing the Delete key and accepting yes.

note: If you delete a shortcut or if you accidentally delete a file it will be moved to the recycle bin, from which you could restore it if required.
