Phones / Whatsapp Violates International Law by bluelaptop: 11:31pm On Jan 31, 2013 |
WhatsApp, the instant-messaging client beloved of people too cheap to text, appears to contravene international privacy laws because of the way it forces users to grant it access to their entire address book. Reuters reports that both the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and the Dutch Data Protection Authority have released reports explaining that the app violates privacy laws. They explain that the way the app takes control of the address book, commandeering all the phone numbers within — including both users and non-users of the app — is unlawful. Jacob Kohnstamm, chairman of the Dutch Data Protection Authority, explains: “This lack of choice contravenes (Canadian and Dutch) privacy law. Both users and non-users should have control over their personal data and users must be able to freely decide what contact details they wish to share with WhatsApp.” The agencies claims they will continue to monitor WhatsApp, and may even begin to impose penalties upon it if it continues to use the same model. So far there’s no word from WhatsApp about the allegations. http://techbeat.com/2013/01/whatsapp-violates-international-law/

Phones / Re: How Long Does Your Smartphone's Battery Last? by bluelaptop: 1:06pm On Nov 07, 2012 |
WELL YOUR BA3 DURATION DEPENDS ON HOW OFTEN YOU USE YOUR PHONE *how many apps running on background. If connected to net or not . Playin music* . Also make sure you buy original battery when making replacements . A average battery last for 12 hours on moderate usage .as 3, 3.5, 4g consumes more power than 2g . For me my htc last days cos i use my ipad for most of my net surfing . |

Science/Technology / Microsoft’s Windows Livemessenger May Soon Be Retired And integrated Into Skype by bluelaptop: 1:08am On Nov 06, 2012 |
Microsoft may be working to completely retire Windows Live Messenger (formerly named MSN Messenger) in the coming months, with plans to integrate the service into Skype, reports the Verge. An official announcement revealing this change could come as soon as this week, although Microsoft has yet to confirm or deny anything. This decision would make quite a lot of sense, if true, as Microsoft has been in the process of retiring the entire Windows Live brand for months. Windows Live Messenger relies on Microsoft’s Messenger service — the same service that is already being used to support Skype. Having a shared architecture could be an early sign that a merger is coming. Additionally, consolidating services like this would reduce the potential confusion that duplicate options often cause. Microsoft only released Windows Live Messenger 2012 back in August, which suggests that the company is taking its time moving things over. As of 2009, Windows Live Messenger had over 330 million monthly active users. At the very least, this means that Skype will soon see a major jump in numbers. Microsoft first acquired Skype back in May 2011 for 8.5 billion. http://m.technewstube.com/the-next-web/123674/microsofts-windows-live-messenger-may-soon-be-retired-and-integrated-into-skype/

Science/Technology / Re: Gmail Beats Hotmail To Become World Largest Email Provider by bluelaptop: 3:54pm On Nov 02, 2012 |
ghettodreamz: I beg to disagree with their result, I don't know how they came up with their analyses but I believe Yahoo has always been the most widely used Email service provider service of all time, with Gmail being the second and Hotmail in the 3rd position. Anyway, all well are good..well bro that was before google has proven to be very smart with the market strategy . Today hardly will surf through the net without being being tempted to create a google account which serves for all their services. Which ranges from youtube. GMAIL . Google+. gmap ........ .....................and definitely a must if you acquire a droid *wink* 2 Likes |

Music/Radio / MayD Performs 'Chop My Money' At Felabration by bluelaptop: 5:39pm On Oct 24, 2012 |
May D may or may not know what he has done; but the tides are already heating up and soon, there may be just another messy war between him and Square records barely two months after he was dropped by the label. At Felabration 2012 held recently at the New Afrika Shrine, Akinmayokun May D Awodumila was one of the selected artistes to perform and indeed he performed. P Square and May D in good times May D threw caution to the wind and stormed the stage with P Square’s Do as I do which featured Tiwa Savage and himself. He didn’t stop there as he went quickly into his award winning single Soundtrack before diving headlong into Chop my Money. May D wrapped up his act with his hit single Ile Ijo. In all of P Square’s songs performed on this night, May D didn’t stick to his lines, rather, he took the entire songs from start from finish. The crowd, however, didn’t seem to notice or perhaps were not bothered as they hollered and danced away the entire time. Square Records boss Jude Engees Okoye had in a statement issued in August this year, announced that the label was severing ties with May D due to irreconcilable differences. A month later, May D launched own label Confam Entertainment. His single Soundtrack fetched him the ‘Best R&B Single’ award at The Headies this year. SOURCE VANGUARD 1 Like
