Ojisik:
WhatsApp may soon push Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft Outlook out with the update that allows sharing of any file type.

1.They simply need an account that can be logged into remotely like Facebook whether or not I have my phone on me.

2. We should be able to like or dislike profile pics, although Zuckerberg won't allow that because it'll trump Facebook and Instagram which he owns.

I love WhatsApp

That's a lie sir

Whatsapp CANNOT send Gmail, YahooMail, Outlook out.




It even sounds bizzare to my ears. Can whatsapp do all what you can do with your email.




Note that there's a limitation to the size on what you can share on whatsapp.





Just Imagine it


Whatsapp pushing out mail services

Scanning a document doesn't have to involve that large printer-size machine. All you need is your Android device and a good scanner app.
Thanks to these apps that you can find for free on Google Play, scanning a document has never been easier.
With the following apps you'll be able to scan your document by simply taking a picture. Not only that, you can turn your scanned document into a PDF and share it through services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, and more!
1. Office Lens
Office Lens is one of the most popular scanner apps on Google Play. The app enhances, trims and creates pictures of documents and whiteboards that are readable. The app allows you to turn images into PDF, PowerPoint, and Word files.
After scanning, you can save your files to OneDrive, OneNote, or your Android device. Tap on the “Scanner” icon on the top-right and choose the type of document that you are scanning, whether it is a picture, the work whiteboard, a document, or a business card.
Don’t worry about scanning the document incorrectly since the app will guide you as to as where you should move your device for the perfect capture.

New cyber laws are created each year, but many people have no idea they exist. Could you be doing something illegal online and not even know it?

Depending on where you live, a
comment you leave on Twitter or
YouTube could violate certain cyber
laws. These laws pertain to conduct
on the Internet – and many
netizens have no idea they even
exist! A little bit of research could
leave you startled about what
seemingly innocent behaviours are
actually against the law.


United States: Sharing Passwords
Makes You a Felon

Did your friend give you the
password to his Netflix account?

According to a US 9th Circuit Court
ruling, that’s a felony.
It’s the unfortunate result of a rigid
interpretation of the Computer
Fraud and Abuse Act.

The court
declared that password-sharing
between two parties is wrong
unless they both have explicit
authorization from the site owner.

The average person doesn't own
Netflix, YouTube, or any of the
major websites for which they
might be sharing passwords. The
decision made millions of
Americans potential felons
overnight.

China: Activist and Anti-
Government Opinions

Laura Lian’s blog Shameless China
made $7,000 per month. It helped
her garner 220,000 loyal fans.

But
then, as Bloomberg reported, a
single post cost her everything.

Internet authorities shut down her
blog [with] no warning. It happened just after she posted an article
mocking Chinese men’s hairstyles,
including former President Jiang
Zemin’s slick-backed coiffure.

“It didn't dawn on me how serious
the situation was,” Lian said. “I
didn't realise I was never getting
back this account and all my
followers.”

Laura Lian wouldn't think she’s
lucky, but it could have been worse.
Particularly, if her website weren't
satirical and she was a known
activist.

Online activism in China or
strong anti-government sentiments
of any kind can get you arrested
and tossed in jail.

United Kingdom: Life in Prison for
“Unauthorised Act”

The May 2015 amendment to the
United Kingdom’s Computer
Misuse Act of 1990 was long
overdue. And yet some
adjustments have raised eyebrows,
and even red flags.

For instance, certain “unauthorised
acts” online could get you a life
sentence. The problem is that
legislators neglected to specify
what those acts are.

The vagueness
of the law is frightening, as it
leaves far too much room for
abuse by authority figures.


Iran: Sexist, Backward Selfie
Policies

Men and women in selfies
together? Very serious business in
Iran. So much so that the Iranian
football team was warned not to
take selfies with female fans. The
Iranian Football Federation’s moral
committee claimed such an act
might be used as a “political tool.”

The organisation threatened to
punish violators.
Iranian women are banned outright
from football games in their home
country.

Sadly, travelling abroad is
their only opportunity to cheer their
sports heroes in person.

The idea
that they are barred from taking
selfies with athletes because of
archaic and sexist thinking is rather
sad.


Conclusion

You can laugh off memes and
hashtags, but cyber laws? Not so
much.

What might seem like
harmless fun could lead to a hefty
fine or even jail time. Is a particular
action really worth the risk? It’s
best to do the research and find
out.

What bizarre or little known cyber
laws are you aware of?
Please
share them and your thoughts in

How do you picture search on Google?
If I snap a picture of something on my phone how do I use Google to identify it?

There's a option to search picture on google, i've seen it before on pc with chrome

Google Search is, quite possibly, the most useful single thing on the Internet. Without it, it’s fair to assume we’d still be stuck in the age of asking Jeeves to make himself more useful, and maybe today we’d be using verbs like “Binging” it and “Yahooing” it instead of “Googling.”
But do you know how to really get the most out of Google Search?
Until you've read this, i guess “no,” so take a look at this Google Search tips to make your digital life easier.
1. Search Exact Phrases
If you're looking for an exact phrase, use quotation marks around the keywords to view results containing that exact phrase. For example, "how to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 10”
2. Exclude a word
If your search terms contain a keyword with several meanings, you can exclude one of the meanings by adding a hyphen (-) before the keyword. For example, the martian -book
3. Search a specific domain
You can search within a particular URL by including the term site:example.com before or after your keywords.
4. Generate similar content
To generate content similar to what’s found on a URL you already know, use the related: operator before adding the URL.
5. Search for words in body copy
To retrieve pages where all the keywords appear in the body of the page, type allintext: before the search term.
6. Find pages that link to specific URLs
Type link: before a URL name, and you’ll be shown all the pages on Google that link to it.
This is particularly useful for SEOs who are searching for backlinks to a specific page.
7. Perform calculations on Google Search
You can simply type in the equation and get the result instantly. You can use either the letter “x” or “*” as the multiply symbol on your PC, while “/” is the division symbol.
8. Convert between units Whether it’s meters to centimetres, feet to yards, or litres to those obscure British gallons, Google has you covered.
Just type convert followed by the numbers and units you want to use, and hit Enter.
[b]9. Search by file type
If you're looking for a specific file on the Web, you can use the filetype: operator to specify the particular document type you're searching for, and Google will restrict results to pages containing those document types.
10. Find your public IP address
Need your IP address? type ip address. Simple.
11. You don’t need a dictionary; just ask Google
Type define followed by the word you want to know the meaning.
12. You can view flight schedules on Google.
To find out flight schedules, simply use the keyword flight origin to destination. For example, flight Lagos to Abuja.
13. Translate from one language to another.
You can either visit Google Translate to get your translation done or just use the translate keyword in Google to translate the text to another language.
14. Use Google as a countdown timer.
This is pretty handy. Just search timer for x minutes and Google will automatically start the countdown for you.

[b]15. Track your packages
If you're based in the US, just enter your UPS, USPS or FedEx tracking number directly into Google to see tracking information about your package.

The Bottom Line
By now you should be feeling like a Google Pro. There are, however, plenty more such tricks you can use to improve your Google quality of life.

There really is no hard-and-fast, all- encompassing way to check your motherboard health, but here’s a list of things controlled by your motherboard to keep an eye on.
Faulty PCI-E ports
This is a tough one to pin down. If your GPU stops working or you're getting strange visual anomalies on the screen (particularly during gaming if you use a GPU), it may be a faulty PCI-E slot or the GPU itself. Firstly, you should update your GPU drivers and reinstall them as necessary to make sure it’s not just a software problem with the graphics card. That failing, it’s worth inserting your GPU into another slot to see if the same problem reoccurs. If it doesn't then you know that the slot you removed it from is probably faulty. You could upgrade your motherboard BIOS to see if it gets rid of the problem, but if you, you may need to look into a replacement.
Faulty USB ports
Likewise, accessories like keyboards and mouse not working should always be tested in different ports before you decide to bin them. Test the devices in different ports to see if they work normally. If they do, then you know it’s an issue with your USB ports. Don’t blame your motherboard just yet, go to Device Manager on your PC, scroll down to “Universal Serial Bus controllers,” then see if there are exclamation marks next to any of the ports. If so, right-click it, then click “Update Driver.” (requires internet connection)
Even if there isn't an exclamation mark, you can try the Update Drivers option just to make sure. Or you can right-click each of the USB port drivers one by one, then click “Scan for Hardware Changes.” Finally, you could try uninstalling each of the USB drivers one by one, then reboot your PC which will force it to reinstall (hopefully in full working order).
If none of this works, then the problem probably lies with your motherboard hardware.
Faulty RAM slots
Next, if your PC is beeping as you turn it on, slows down over time during a single session or keeps crashing, then you may have a problem with your RAM.
Again though, it might not be specifically the RAM but the RAM slots that are the problem. To test this, you'll need to open your PC, take out a stick of RAM, then switch the PC back on to see if it works normally.
Keep doing this until your PC malfunctions again. When it does, try putting the RAM stick you took out in place of another RAM stick (leaving its original slot empty).
If the PC malfunctions again, then you know it’s the RAM stick that’s the problem. If the PC works fine, then you know it’s the RAM slot and your Mobo’s faulty.
Faulty Video ports (HDMI, VGI, DVI, etc.)
If your video outputs aren't working at all when plugged into your motherboard, then the first thing to remember is that none of these will work if you have a GPU inside your PC. This is because by default your PC automatically switches off the motherboard ports when there are GPU ones available. (You can change this setting in the BIOS.)
If you don’t have a GPU plugged in and your motherboard video ports were working before, then you should first try using different cables, making sure they fit snugly, and using a different monitor if possible. If the problem persists, go to Device Manager, then under Monitors right-click “Generic PnP Monitor” and try each of the options – “Scan for hardware changes,” “Update driver” and “Uninstall device” – one by one.
If you do uninstall your monitor, reboot your PC to let it reinstall, then see if it works.
If none of this works, then you're looking at a faulty motherboard, and it’s time to start looking for that warranty information.
Conclusion Motherboards are a complex beast, and it will take quite a bit of hands-on fiddling and opening-up of your PC to really isolate whether issues are coming from the board or from other components. If you do open up your PC, make extra sure to check that all cables, cards, etc., are plugged in properly and tightly .
