Hey this is a new Technology, Isn't the old 12 megapixels camera technology.
Don't be deceived by megapixel count.
12 megapixels for the Galaxy S7 camera might be better than 16. In fact, 12 britecell megapixels are equal to 24 standard megapixels. 12-megapixel sensor, probably with much larger pixels than the GS6, Note 5 or Edge. Could turn out to be one of the best smartphone cameras of 2016. And just because BRITECELL exists.
People who think that a 12MP shooter is worse than a 16MP shooter based on the megapixel count alone are highly misguided.

A camera setup that allows more light to pass through the sensor yields better image quality (provided that the software doesn't mess with it). Besides, the "photo" in photography means "light". Larger image sensors also results in better pictures. Better lenses also contribute to better images.

People ought to stop whining about megapixels.

hi pals!
I need some help with my pharmacognosy practical manual, I was asked to give the botanical source of some fruits, I think I should give a brief description of the plant from which the fruit is gotten but I'm not sure if that is what is expected of me. pls seniors in the house help me out.
uniben4sure, caukerzee, bukkiminat, kunlexic!
somebody HELP!

When you are asked to provide the Botanical source of a particular plant, what's required of you is to provide the plant's Latin name or scientific name as these names help distinguish between two similar plants.
Botanical names consist of a first name, called the
"genus" (shared by a group of plants with the same structural
characteristics) and a second name, called the "species", which
usually refers to the plant's features or growing habitat. There are also hierarchical levels above the genus, such as the
family. Family names begin with a capital letter and often end
with the suffix "ceae".
For example, stating the Botanical source of Senna leaf will be:

Cassia acutifolia (DELL.)
Family: Leguminosae

Describing the plant will be stating it's diagnostic Features (Macroscopy).

Please don't make out Faze as a failure. Even though he did not blow like 2face, he had 2 hit songs. Please what song did Blackface sing that blew?!

Blackface is just a hungry boy, while Faze has made use of the little popularity. Kolomental won him to be comfortable and disappear from the music scene. They are very different!

You must be a kid (At most, early teens) To imply the bolded. Faze had only two hits ke?

Bigpicture:
IMO.... Blackface is being childish with the whole thing:

If truly your song was stolen, I wanna believe there was no beef between you guys initially... u culd av just called 2baba for a chat over it nd agree on what to do
.

Or, file a lawsuit to claim your right...

Or, state clearly what you want in return instead of ranting on social media which will keep degrading you anyway.

And you know he hasn't confronted him is private before going public how? Be sure of the facts before you make any statements.

still absolutely puzzled by the fact there is now a Bluetooth-capable pregnancy test. #pharmacyschool

It's Friday and I'm fucking pissed off, how is that? oh yeah it's because I'm in pharmacy school. If you're still alive, you're not trying hard enough.

What's the best way of passing pharmacognosy?

Pharmacists in the House. I'd like to know; what does it entail to be an industrial pharmacist after completion of my B.Pharm program?

Those of us who step in the field of clinical pharmacy, with the vision of saving lives, doing therapeutic drug monitoring, monitoring patients lab report, preventing an adverse drug reaction, working in poison control centers etc very soon start realizing that not only doing your duty is difficult but is also impossible!! Questions will be raised as to why are you doing this? On whose authority have you been allowed to do this? Where is it written that you are even allowed to do this??

Why is this so?

FaskRolce:
Cognosy can not be scrapped. It's what most of my seniors in school said then. That made me not to concentrate much on it thinking it was a waste of youthful time. I now practice as a community pharmacist who is into integrative pharmacy. I discovered majority of what I come across now in herbal remedies were taught in Cognosy. Now I have to read extra hard to remember the things I was taught but ignored and I try to update my knowledge on new trends. I really just think they could make the course much more interesting and the lecturers should be enthusiastic about it.

Unijos Cognosy lecturers are sadists. How were you able to pass Cognosy successfully? Been a real problem for me.

Arhh...phamacognosy. Somebody shoot me

misspicy:
Some are facts...eg 1 and 7

Because you're on the mind of every man?

COMMON MYTHS
1. Men Have Sex on The Brain. Yes and no. It is their primary function but no, they think about other things as well. They aren’t machines.
2. Men Only Want One Thing. Not any more than you do. Men want a variety of things. Mostly they want you to care about them.
3. Men Want Virgins/Younger Women. Some men might but most actually don’t want either. Fully 80% of married men are perfectly happy in their current relationships.
4. Older Women Have No Chance. Not at all true! A woman of any age has a decent chance of finding a suitable man. If she remains open to the possibility.
5. Older Men Are Creepy. Older men have more skill, more patience, and are much more fun than younger men who still have much to learn.
6. Men Can Have Children At Any Age. Yes it can happen but men too have a decreasing fertility as they age. So while it is possible it becomes less likely.
7. Jealousy is Natural. Jealousy if based upon fear not love and is therefore only for losers.
8. Any Man is Better Than No Man. Also not true. If you have skills, and are sensible, you can make it on your own.

Basically, if the sentence begins “Men are…” you can discount it. It is no more true than the myths about women are true. All one can say is that some men are and some men aren’t.

Conclusion
I hope that this helps increase your understanding of men. Men are wonderful people. So are women. That being said, do not get lax during your relationships. Taking him for granted, being difficult to live with, always being argumentative, not finishing what you start, and generally being a pain will kill any relationship. Learn to effectively communicate and keep on communicating. Having a home with a loving partner as your ‘safe haven’ is not so terrible after all. Now get out there! Love as you live – unstintingly!

ExInferis:
you know what? I'm bored with this topic, being one of those turf fights that never end. You like your Androids and Samsungs, fine, good for you. ive producst from various OEMs, so this whole thing is moot to me.

It's been an interesting back and forth, but here is where i move on to other things.

See you out there.

Adios

The OP was probably payed by Tecno to do this.

ExInferis:
Seems like we're gonna be doing this all day.



The so-called ban was vetoed because it was a Standards Essential Patent; you cant enforce a ban on SEP.

The ban being vetoed is not the issue here (That's America's way of saying "we protect our own", anyway). Apple has been found to infringe on Samsung patents in the past which refutes your claim that the copying goes one way.

And this mystery phone is? I only ask because because US patent number 8,286,103 specifically broadly covers continuously moving an image to a general unlock region on the screen to unlock the device.

If the bolded was prior art (i.e it existed before) why was this patent granted to Apple?

The prople who granted the patent probably never heard of the Neonode N1m. Samsung had already brought the lowly Neonode N1m in front of the court there -- and had Apple's claims over slide to unlock determined to be "trivial and likely invalid", and the court refused to consider them even though there was evidence of prior art. That's how the judicial system works over there.

Heck no. Samsung Galaxy Ativ S image attached at bottom. looks nothing like the iphone 6. It supports Sdcards, has a removable battery, no glass panel at back, no drilled speaker grilles, and it runs windows 8.[/



partially true, but only as applies to mobile phones, because Wacom has been doing just fine with stylus, being its raison d'etre.



I thought you Android people kept saying Apple brought in a stylus because of surface? Look, Apple has been doing very well more than Samsung. infact, year-on-year samsung mobile can only dream of Apple's profits. Apple brought in a stylus because it was a natural evolution of a touch interface on a canvas large as the iPad Pro's.

It is not that Apple has blatantly copied the ATIV S, but we can say that it is inspired by the same and Samsung has neatly ported the same for their latest flagship.
You keep talking about profits as if the profits are shared amongst customers. We're talking about consumer satisfaction and experience.

All prices are relative. To you ₦ 150 000 is not cheap, but to someone wealthier than you or with more disposable income ₦ 150 000 is chicken feed. A Friend of mine last year bought a Vertu Signature Touch for N2.2m.

I'm not even talking about my pocket here. For the majority of people who would like to purchase the device ₦ 150 000 is expensive

Matches? Shame on samsung. A 2015 quadcore phone with 3gb ram is bragging about matching the performance of a 2014 dualcore phone with 1gb ram? how revealing!

The Exynos 7420 is actually better in a number of ways. The A9 has not been tested yet so I can't talk about it.
The E7420 SoC has an integrated LTE cellular chip. LTE is capable of downloading at faster speeds than older, 3G technology, Clearly more CPU threads 8vs 2 (Apple A8), Distinctly higher GeekBench result 5478vs 1606 (Apple A8), Significantly faster CPU clock speed 8.0 x 1.5GHzvs 2.0 x 1.4GHz (Apple A8), 14nmvs 20nm (Apple A8), Uses big.LITTLE technology.

key appeal of the original iphone was "ease of use", and it remains so to this day. Boasting of having a bewildering array of features and customization that only serves to overwhelm and confuse the non-geeky users is hardly a plus, and does not help with user satisfaction ratings, where iPhone is king with the highest ratings.

These features don't 'confuse', they empower users with choice.

Which often leads to one of Android's key issues: fragmentation.

Android fragmentation in 2014 and beyond is a myth. A large percentage of Android users are still not running the latest version of the Android OS, Lolipop 5.0. And Google is making no bones about that, as itregularly posts the latest OS usage figures on its developer portal. Play Services is more important than OS installs when planning and designing an Android app. Play Services, introduced in 2012, is effectively a background download of core services required to run apps on Android. Putting the OS install numbers to one side for a moment, this is the stat that matters to developers – over 93 percent of all Android users are running the latest version of Google Play Services.

This is a somewhat valid point, but then again all 1st party and 3rd party accessories for iphone certified by Apple always work seamlessly.

So does Android's

I've said this before. 4k on phones is meaningless. beyond 422 ppi any additional pixel is pointless battery drain. most people cannot differentiate between 1080p and 1440p, so UHD is just an unnecessary spec.

It is a future proof spec. Believe you me, Apple in the future will adopt this technology.

Until the argument can be made that having 800 pixels per inch justifies the cost, GPU cycles, and battery drain, Apple is better off not bothering. However im perfectly OK with 2k. 4k will be useful only when VR takes where the pixel density will reduce the aliasing.

Explain how apple, without those high Res screens produce worse battery life and battery management than most android Flagships?

True. So people who want choice or are on a budget have a place to go. However the walled garden approach seems to be doing good, since Apple is the only company on earth with $200b CASH at hand on account of the insane profits.

Here's an open secret: No one in 2015 made any profits selling Android devices!

Samsung is losing marketshare, HTC is going the way of blackberry, Sony is bleeding money, Lg is making loses, the chinese cheapos have zero margins, even Google isnt making much money since its primary revenue stream still remains ads, and ads on mobile devices are an anathema.

Meanwhile Apple made more money than the entire smartphone industry combined; and likewise for its PC business. Sure, Apple's shares took a small dive south but thats perfectly normal cycle of busniess around the time of product launches that are mostly evolutionary and iterative.

Again the profits the make is non of our business. How well I'm satisfied with the products they churn out is the case. Android offers the luxury of choice, iOS doesn't.

Sony just advised people buying the Z5 Premium against placing it in water. And the Z5 has the highest Ingress Protection rating of 68 (IP68). It's practically water proof! OBviously no one in their right sense would want to chance plunging a complex and expensive piece of electronics device into water just for bragging rights.

These features are there, in the case of accidents not for fun and bragging rights.

Like i said, doesnt stop millions from buying, and Apple from making a ton of money that your variety-producing Android OEMs can only envy.



why should "taking a beating" be a necessary consideration, since you didnt purchase your expensive phone to subject it to abuse?

There's something called accident. It can happen to anybody no matter how careful one is. You think one just wakes up one morning and says; "Hey! I'm feeling lucky today. Let me smash my phone over that wall!".

So said Nokia. Today Nokia is a footnote in history.




It's irrelevant to the User Experience. All modern devices are designed to mask the underlying hardware, the engine. Because primarily the focus of your interaction remains the screen; thus, you communicate with the software on every interaction. Go watch the Surface launch video: Both members of the Surface design team Steven Sinorfsky (software) and Panos Panay (hadrware) called surface "a stage for windows", with Panos saying they beveled or chamfered the edges to make the hardware fade away into the background just to put the software layer front and center. Its an interesting and revealing metaphor that highlights the principle of the modern smart gadget.




you very subjective opinion. to rebut is futile.



Let's agree on one thing: both Android and iOS look and feel alike; grid of icons, multitouch, pinch to zoom, swipe, etc etc.

When was Android revealed? November 2007

When was iOS revealed? January 2007

So who was first? iOS.

If above holds true, then iOS was first. If iOS was first, then everything Android did that looked so much like iOS was copied from iOS. The entire Android OS was a poor copy of iOS. Android never existed before iOS. Infact, the first Android device was the G1, released in 2008, ONE YEAR AFTER THE IPHONE.

Man, i'm getting tired of this back and forths

Oh, here's the samung Ativ S. In what way does it look like the Galaxy S6?

1. How can you say hardware is irrelevant to user experience? For 5K displays to be impactful, even greater levels of GPU acceleration are needed. Additionally, powerful graphics processing advancements are driving new user interface concepts, enabling your device to see, hear, and recognize you, using advanced face recognition, voice recognition, and real-time recognition of hand and finger gestures, biometrics and more.
2. You simply just gave me a really useless history less and didn't answer me. Apple is adopting more features from android than android is from apple. Doesn't matter who started first. A poor copy you say? Tell that to the 80% of the market who use androids.

ExInferis:
You thought wrong. Im in the habit of kissing arses to MAKE money. I dont kiss arses to SPEND money. So there.

I dont know what you mean by innovation. To me 64bit is innovative, motion co-pro is innovative, Taptic Engine is innovative, 240 frame slomo is innovative. Except if you're comparing with samsung and consider a range of gimmicks as innovation.

Look! A curved screen! Yay, go science![/quote ]
Samsung innovations are gimmicks?
Tell that to

Fast Charging
128 GB UFS Flash Storage
Multi Window
UPS mode
"phase-detect" autofocus
fitness tracking capabilities
The SPen
Knox
Rotating Bezel of the gear S2
Group Play
Smart stay..etc

Pah.

[quote]As for copying: well, who was found guilty of copying and ordered to pay? Samsung!

On June 4, 2013, Samsung won a limited ban from the U.S. International Trade Commission on sales of certain Apple products after the commission found Apple had violated a Samsung patent

Apple started the whole craze: accelerometers, gyroscopes, proximity sensors, sealed batteries, gorilla glass, capacitive multitouch, pinch to zoom, slide to unlock, glass panels, etc. Hell even the current samsung offerings look so much like the iphone, including sealed batteries, no Sdcards, even the earpods

1. Slide to unlock existed on an old Windows CE device in 2005. Two years before the OG iphone was announced.
2. Samsung glass panels are nothing like the iPhone.

3.Galaxy S6 isn’t inspired from iPhone, but from Samsung’s own Ativ S which wad out way before the iPhone 6

Well, there once was a little device called the Apple Newton which had a touchscreen and stylus, way back in the early 1990s

Samsung is the only reason Styluses are relevant today. Heck, apparently apple brought back the stylus because of Samsung’s success with it.

if it says "Pro", it's not meant for you. In any case the iPad mini is very much cheap for all you scrooges. Or you can try a Galaxy Note.

There's a difference between CHEAP and affordable. ₦ 150 000 is not chesp

Goodluck having the Z5 premium set the world on fire. How many UHD TVs have you even seen? Or 4k content? 4k is overkill on a mobile device, except for when VR goes mainstream. And the Z5 is 4k only some of the time. For most usage it dumbs down to good old 1080p, so nyah!

And the iphone, with its meager 1gb and dualcore, is more fluid than your octacores (decacore is coming) and 4gb rams. That's smart design! So double nyah!!

Samsung galaxy S6 actually matches the iPhone 6 performance in day to day use. Thanks to the E7420

No one buys their hardware just for specs. When steve jobs introduced the original iphone, the emphasis was on software. In that period Nokia was king of the hill, and what was Nokia known for? Killer hardware, poor software? So where's Nokia now? Same thing happened to Blackberry.

While the android world is littered with behemoths packing powerful and excessive hardware (and still lag) just to accommodate an OS centered around a virtual machine (Dalvik and ART), Apple nimbly gets by with modest hardware and clever software.

Why do you think Nexus devices focus more on pure android than raw specs?

And dude, windows cant be optimised for crap. You optimize based around a target hardware combo. Wintel is based around diversity of hardware, so how do you optimise for the myriad of hardware choices and OEM idiosyncrasies out there?

Apple is neither xiaomi, nor is it samsung. It doesnt have to cater for a broad spectrum of customers simply by designing no-margin products (xiaomi), or tossing everything haphazardly at the wall to see what sticks (samsung)

Apple is Apple, catering for people with taste and without the time to start messing around with memory cards, drivers, root and whatnot. Apple is the Burberry of phones. Apple is the Bentley of gadgets. Those without style, substance or purchasing power can step into those Tecno booths!


I make my purchasing decisions baswd on need and budget. Ive a mixture of devices, my next purchase will be the Elephone Vowney. I dont buy specs nor brand. I buy what i feel serves my purpose.

Oh, and those sheep? Totally outclassed the lifeless droids.

Android takes off the training wheels and lets consumers have a swath of hardware and software to choose from, along with access to key technologies, such as NFC pairing and 4K screens that Apple doesn't think its users are ready for.
Google's marketing tagline for Android is "Be Together. Not the Same." That makes sense, because the platform appears on hundreds of different phone models around the world. You can get Android phones with giant screens, small screens, built-in projectors, QWERTY keyboards and replaceable batteries.

Perhaps most important, there are many rugged Android phones that are made to survive being submerged underwater or dropped. If you want a new iPhone today, you have four choices: the a iPhone 6s Plus, a midsize iPhone 6s and three old models: the similarly-sized. None of these is designed to take a beating. Hardware is VERY IMPORTANT. Stop trying to belittle it's relevance. Software also, in comparison, iOS is behind android. We see IOS adopting more android features than android from iOS
