Toshiba has raised the bars in laptop battery life by producing a new laptop that is capable of lasting for 22hrs after just a single charge. It can equally be said that the laptop can last for a whole day, because when you have 22hrs out of 24hrs, what else is left. The laptop features 8GB or RAM with 4th generation intel core processor, it also features a 13.3 inches display with about 1356 X 768 screen resolution and weighs about 2.5 pound. This is the type of laptops that should be created for country like Nigeria

For the game lovers, I know you will know the popular touch-screen phone game ''Temple run''. The movie is most probably on the way by the same producer of the the Harry Potter film series. I enjoy playing the game, and I am currently on level 7, and it is seriously giving me tough time to proceed to level 8. the movie is going to be focused on an explorer who stole the idol from a temple and being chased by demonic forces, almost exactly what the game depicts. if you are currently playing the game, what level have you being able to reach?

Many of us know aliexpress as that Chinese site where we import goods at very low price, but not many know that Aliexpress is an offshoot of alibaba. today the company has announced an all time single days sales record of a whooping $5.7billion, beating its last years record of about $3.7billion. and the company is a privately owned, based in eastern china province of Hanghou with over 24,000 employee. a lot of Nigerians do their online shopping from Aliexpress owing to its low price items. virtually every items you can think of is obtainable their and in some cases they offer free shipping services to many countries including Nigeria. they have been operational since 2009 and they are known by the escrow service they offer to protects their clients. in case you don't know what escrow services mean; escrow service is a process whereby buyers cash is held away from the sellers, until the buyer has confirmed that he/she has received the goods they purchased in good condition before the money is remitted to the sallers.

it seems the latest slash in Glo BIS tariffs has turned it the cheapest among all other network. with N1,000 you can now easily get 3GB of data for browsing with your blackberry phone. but the one disadvantage is that you cannot use it on any other device apart from blackberry phone, unlike airtel. I noticed that all the Glo monthly and weekly BIS plan have data caps of 3GB and 700MB

After various surveys and findings, I get to notice that most webmasters and bloggers are guilty in one way or the other in link-dumping on any group or online communities they happen to find themselves, in the name of driving traffic or advertising their promotional links and products. Most times, they post off topic links to groups, thinking that they will get more traffic by that. for example posting something related to blogging tips on cars related group. if you want to know more about cars, I believe you will head to car groups and not blogging tips group. Posting in the appropriate places is one the the secret to get better traffic because your links will remain relevant to such groups or communities. No wonder you see people complaining that they are working hard with their promotions but not achieving the best result. working hard does not necessarily mean that one is doing the right thing. There are ways to promote right and by so doing, traffic will come

For months now there have been so many rumours making the round about the LG Google Nexus 5 smartphone, not until today, the phone make a dramatic appearance being the first phone to pioneer the latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS. I believe the coming with is with this latest Android OS has been the thing that kept everybody's eye on the released date. It come with 8MP rear camera and with Gorilla glass for additional screen protection. one amazing fact about this phone is that one cans easily say it has 3 origins ie, LG, Google and ASUS. yes ASUS, ASUS is a joint company with Google that manufactures Nexus devices. I even felt it wast from ASUS last two letters that Nexus was coined out

It seems, we are beginning to witness a form of deviations from the normal flat phone to what we are now seeing by some of these phone makers into curved phones, that is like concave structures. Last month, Samsung pioneered the very first curved smartphone that they dubbed Samsung galaxy round. After that, we are now seeing another Korean company LG following suit by also coming up with their own very curved smartphone that they called LG G-Flex. One amazing thing with the G-Flex is that LG went as far as to even curve the battery of the phone. I just keep wondering what these phone makers are into. Will the curved phones replace the flat phones in future, or do you see any better advantages the curved phones have than the normal flat phones. For me, I still prefers the normal flat phone

Converting your Microsoft words documents into any of the standard picture format can be a confusing and herculean task if you don't know how to go about it, on the other way round it can be a very easy task if you know how to work things around. But I want to present to you the 3 easiest method to achieve that with your computer without any hassle
1. the use of the paint program
2 using the snipping tool
3 use of either Microsoft power point or Microsoft publisher

Every android and i-phones owners are now grooving BBM on their devices as if tomorrow will never come. does this gesture from blackberry finally sent them to the bottom of smartphone business? some people have been complaining that they have not been able to download and start pinging with their android and i-phones, but it was clearly stated that apart from Samsung android that started pinging on the 22nd of this month, that other android and iphones will be fully functional by tomorrow, so if you own has not started working after the download, no cause for alarm just be patient till tomorrow. also know that tablet are not supported and for you to groove it on your android, your android version must be 4.0 and above i.e. ice cream sandwich, jelly bean and kitkat versions of android, then for i-phone users, you must have the one with iOS 6 and above version of it. enjoy BBM on your devices as last

We cannot doubt the fact that we are in smartwatch era where companies are coming up with watches that can perform wonders. If you think that smartwatches are for companies like Samsung, Sony and Apple alone to manufacture, then here comes a shocker, we all know adidas the famous sport company that have produced football jerseys, footballs and different sport kits and equipment for their numerous host of customers and consumers, here this time around they have announced their own smartwatch mostly meant for runners and slated for this years November date. The watch is capable of providing some form of coaching and training to the athlete wearing it based on their heart rate. the runner will be able to hear audio coach through headphone, and the watch is also able to tell the runner how far they went and how fast they were and addition to that they can also use it to be listening to music as the perform their race on tracks.
Well, Usain Bolt should be weary of any athlete wearing this adidas smartwatch, lol

This is typical Nigerian mentality from the pilot, everything we take it light and unserious in this country, even things that could easily result to death. It happens on a daily bases in this country, people don't value human lives at all, not even their own life. Everything they want to manage, in our taxis and buses we see drivers managing bad tires, bad gears, they never fix things to perfection before moving, we see government allowing drivers to manage bad roads, take for instant the corps member that recently had an accident and died on his way to POP, the accident was due to bad roads . Manage and manage, people go as far as managing human lives. Just take another case of Boko haram when they killed those ground force soldiers because air cover that was suppose to follow up with their mission was aborted without informing the ground soldiers. Things like these keep happening day in day out, people are dying steady out of negligence and ignorance and yet who cares. This is a clear case of negligence and unprofessionalism from the pilot. Until our leaders and other stake holders start seeing human lives as sacred, things like this will continue to happen. Its a pity.

I usually call Ford car wonder cars, because of the amazing technologies its cars are always associated with. we could all recall the car that can park itself advert by Ford, to the most current one that the booth of the car can just be tapped with a leg at the lower part and it opens in case your hand is loaded. And here again comes the latest one that they are testing, this one is a near self driving car, a car that can avoid obstacles when the driver is not aware. The car takes control of the steering from the driver when it senses and obstacle. It first warns the driver, that obstacle is on the way, and if the driver fails to do anything, the car applies the break by itself and manoeuvres the steering to avoid possible collision. With this a driver can hardly knock down a pedestrian that is coming across the front when he is unaware of the pedestrian presence

With Samsung breaking away from convention to manufacture what is to be seen as the world first curved smartphone popularly known as Samsung galaxy round and that is set for launch today. Do you thing that Samsung still got it right with this one. For me, I see the normal flat phone as something still better, because I don't think video clips will be enjoyed well with the galaxy round as with the normal flat phones. and I also thing Samsung is just trying to flex muscle here to show the world what they are capable of. But to you, is the curved phone really necessary and how well do you thing Samsung galaxy round will be welcome?

I have said this over and over again, that the only time somebody could leave a normal, peaceful, happy and stable life in Naija is when one becomes a millionaire/billionaire. believe it or not I know the angle that I am coming from. What is your take, do you concur? speak out your opinion

Pls all this Ameachi and GEJ spokes men. let me ask u guys, does it mean dat when just one or two section of the city managed to have light for just only 2 weeks and which we knw they will soon been thrown into darkness again in no due time, and the rest section of the cities are walowing in absolute darkness, does dat show any sign of seriousnes and enof reason to com here and tell us how gud phcn,Amaechi and GEJ are. why do we get over excited at just small thing. u and I know this counrty well for edges. Ok let me tell you, do you know that 5years ago, where I leave in PH, we almost had 20hrs of constant power for many months. but now, what is the power situation like same here. Epileptic is even an understatement. that means if some of u here travel out or manage to get just 3months of steady power here in naija, you will go and tell Barrack Obama that PHCN,GEJ and Ameachi are doing well. just SMH on how easily this unchangeable goverment can deceive u guys. Ok, look at now, all the accademic bodies are on strike, doctors are on strike, PHCN are on strike, Nipost officials ar on strike, NUPENG are treatening to go on strike,ptdf a major government representaive collected 1k 1k from prospective scholars in d name of going to send dem to study last month in the UK, uptil now they hav not even communicated anyting to them, NCAA are only good at suspending airliners licence only wen a crash occurs. then what does a total shut down of a country means. what do we think the Americans are facing now that they term total shut down? just SMH for u guys. Are u not ashamed dat in 21st century, u guys ar still talking about power suply, that give light here, that they just took the light again now now, that power is a bit steady now, this dat dis dat about power. when other countries are already launching into the space, we stay here and still discuss PHCN, don't you think power issues is suppose to be history by now. where is China now that started the struggle with us, ar dey still discussing power dey way u guys does here. what about countries dat are been hit by earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricane etc, how do the cope with their power suply, read sombody saying dat they took the light wen rain was falling and brot it back after d rain, next u will here is pole fell, or vandals detroyed d transformer, or the feeder pillars of our transformer is bad, or the amored cable needs to be chaged, or their is gas shortage, or pipline vandals cut down gas supply, or the transimission lines are old and weak. so many stories. are you guys not tired of these.

I don't know whether to call it error or what from Google in their new mobile Gmail interface. We noticed that when composing a new mail with our mobile device on the new mobile Gmail interface, and when trying to attach file to the message, we could barely see provision for that, in fact there is no provision for that. so that is one of the downside of the new mobile Gmail interface, because in the former version you can easily attach file when composing a new mail. But trust Naija, there is always a way out whenever this type of issue arises. The solution to that is for you to switch from your mobile version to your desktop version, with that you will be able to attach your files to your composed messages with your mobile device.

Is this phone wars or what, is it not HTC that released the so much talked about HTC ONE, now again HTC is being rumoured to be producing another phone to be release next month, known as HTC ONE MAX. Probably as Apple just released their i-phone 5S and Samsung just released Galaxy note 3, they to want to release there own too to keep up the chase and remain relevant in the market. No dulling moment at all for this companies, if not the speed that other companies will use and over take you eh, your product will be found wanting in the market. I love HTC sha, their phones are superb but a bit expensive.

G-mail and Yahoo mail recently modified their mobile platform, making them simpler and easier to use. With the new look of both mobile platform, which do you prefer? For me I still prefer G-mail, because the mobile platform looks even simpler and it shows you up to 20 of your current messages whereas Yahoo displays only 10. G-mail is just beating Yahoo mail in all ramifications this days, unlike in the past where Yahoo ruled the E-mail world
