Phones / AGAIN: Apple Sued Again For 'slowing' Older Iphonesapple Sued Again For 'slowing by emmansxky(m): 12:50pm On Jan 20, 2018
TEL AVIV: Two Israelis have filed an over $120 million class-action lawsuit against Apple a week after the maker confirmed that it is deliberately slowing down older iPhones to avoid the devices from shutting down owing to old batteries.

The claimants said that the software updates impaired their ability to browse the web, check email and use various applications.

According to a report in Israeli newspaper Haaretz late on Monday, the suit filed argued that the company breached its basic duties toward users by failing to disclose that 'innocent' software updates would negatively impact their phone use.
The claimants said that the software updates impaired their ability to browse the web, check email and use various applications.

"There is no doubt that information about the device slowing is important, and cardinal, and users had the right to get (that information) from Apple before deciding whether to install the software updates," the lawsuit was cited as saying.
On Friday, Apple faced two class-action lawsuits from the iPhone users in the US.
Sulaiman Law Group, Ltd, which operates as Atlas Consumer Law, was representing several plaintiffs in a class-action complaint against Apple in Illinois. A report in Quartz said that a second lawsuit was filed in California.

People who owned iPhone 6, 6s, and 6s Plus devices have been complaining that their devices shut down spontaneously even though they had sufficient battery.
Apple acknowledged the bug and introduced a fix in an update to its operating system software, iOS 10.2.1, which the company said would largely remedy the issue.

Apple claimed that it introduced the software updates that slowed the phones to make aging batteries last longer.
However, Atlas Consumer Law said that the iOS updates, plaintiffs claim, were engineered with this very purpose in mind -- fraudulently forcing iPhone owners to purchase the latest model offered by Apple.

TV/Movies / Best Movie Ever Made In This 2017 Check Them Out Here by emmansxky(m): 6:06am On Dec 24, 2017
Most of us can’t wait to see 2017 end, but before we put a flamethrower on the whole thing let’s look back on something that wasn’t bad: the movies.

From the iconic Wonder Woman finally getting on the big screen to the movie that will mark the supposed final performance of one of our greatest living actors Daniel Day-Lewis, movies on both the studio and independent side found ways to make us forget our daily troubles and escape into stories that have stayed with us long after the closing credits.
Here are 11 movies from this year that did just that for me:
11. “Logan Lucky”

Celebrities / 21 Ways To Touch A Woman by emmansxky(m): 8:23pm On Dec 16, 2017
In my last article we covered the basics of how to touch a woman. While all of that knowledge is useful, none of it means anything if you can’t put it into action.

When I work with guys that have trouble getting physical, one problem always comes up: “There wasn’t a good moment or opportunity when I could’ve touched her.” There never seems to be a good time to make a move. But is that really true?

Usually, the issue is that you haven’t seized the moment to create a physical connection. Start with the small gestures and escalate progressively to intimate touching. Remember that the more personal you get, the more chemistry, attraction, and trust she will need to be comfortable.

Low Level Touching

When introducing yourself, shake hands and hold hers for an extra second.Give her a high-five in excitement.Gently touch her elbow to emphasize your points.If she’s going outside with you, you can grab her coat and help her put it on.Touch her shoulder when she is opening up and sharing something with you.When saying goodbye, give her a hug.

Medium Level Touching

Stand close to her and let your arms touch.When leading her to the bar or to grab a seat, hold her hand or guide her with your hand on the small of her back.Stand to her side, lean close to her, and whisper into her ear.Rest your thigh against hers when sitting next to her.As she laughs at something you said, say something like “You’re so cute/adorable/such a dork” while placing your hand on her stomach and playfully push her.

High Level Touching

Play footsie under the table if sitting across from her.Place your hand on her thigh when sitting next to her.Brush a lock of hair off her face and around her ear.While standing close, lean into her and smell from the base or her neck to her ear. You can say something like “Damn, you smell amazing.”When talking, lightly play with her hand or fingers.Run your fingers through her hair while looking in her eyes.Grab her around the waist and pull her hip against yours. You can also pull her directly towards you and have your waists touching.Touch a necklace she’s wearing while brushing your fingers on her neck.While sitting close, run your fingers toward her inner thigh under the table. Continue talking casually. Getting more intimate while keeping your cool will drive her wild.Pause during conversation, look deeply in her eyes, and kiss her.

The biggest difference between a friend and a romantic partner is physical intimacy. So if you ever want more than friendship, you’re going to have to bite the bullet and touch her. You might as well start now.

Computers / 5 Reasons Android Devices Are Still Better Than Iphone by emmansxky(m): 8:10pm On Dec 16, 2017
There has always been a comparison between Android devices and Apple’s iPhone. Although, many people rate iPhone above Android phones, there are certain things Android phones do far better than iPhone.

Jumia Travel shares these things.
External storage options
Android phones allow you to use external storage from an SD card inserted into the phone. This is not the case for iOS as there is no space for SD card. Depending on your pocket, you have to buy 16GB, 32GB or 64GB iPhone.

Dual SIM
Many Android phones allow you to put two SIM cards in at the same time. This gives you two separate phone numbers for calls and texts. There is nothing like dual SIM for iPhone.

Browsers can open links
With Android phones, you can decide which app is the default for things like opening internet links. Since you can make the browser be the default, you won't have your personal data spread out among multiple apps. On iPhones, you can't.

Single sign in for all the apps you use
When you sign into your Android gadgets, Gmail & other services are ready to use and all covered under a single privacy agreement. However, when you sign into your iPhone, you need to download and sign into each of these services individually, which means you also have to sign out of them individually.

Download movies and music from anywhere
If you want to add music or movies to your iPhone, you need to download them on a computer and sync with iTunes or purchase them inside an app and only use them in that app. But on Android gadgets, you can download right from the web and save it to the phone or Micro SD card to watch or listen offline without needing a computer.

Celebrities / Woman Wears Dress Made Only From ‘condom’ To An Event (photo) by emmansxky(m): 10:22am On Dec 09, 2017
A young and daring woman has worn a dress she made using condoms, to create awareness on HIV/AIDS disease.

A Congolese fashion designer is promoting safe s*x with a collection of clothes made of condoms that she hopes will help combat HIV/AIDS in the central African country.
Felicite Luwungu started making her condom line, which includes strapless evening gowns and tops, after the HIV/AIDS epidemic hit close to home.

“I have lost loved ones to HIV – that’s what inspired me to do this,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone from the capital, Kinshasa. “The message that I hope people will apply is to be prudent.”

The number of people living with HIV/AIDS and dying from related infections in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been falling for more than a decade, according to the United Nations.

The prevalence rate of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is about 0.7 percent, among the lowest in southern and central Africa, UNAIDS data shows.
Luwungu, 40, displays her work in runway shows and exhibitions. When she finishes the condom collection, she plans to present it at a large fashion show next year.
The designs have shocked audiences but responses have been mostly positive, Luwungu said.

“People make jokes but it doesn’t discourage me,” she said.
“That only pushes me to do this more.”

Celebrities / Rapper Says Lack Of Sex Is Making Her Lose Her Sight by emmansxky(m): 11:15pm On Dec 07, 2017
Cardi B has revealed that she hasn't had sex for thirteen days and it is almost making her lose her sight.
The beautiful rising star took to her Twitter page on Monday, December 4, 2017, where she revealed her present ordeal.
"It’s been 13 days with out NO DICK !I’m losing eyesight on my left," she tweeted. She might be joking or she is truly revealing her frustrations. Cardi B is presently on tour with her fiancé,'Offset.'

Cardi B recently got engaged to rapper, Offset in a very public proposal. The rapper popped the question to the Bodak Yellow rapper during the Power 99’s Powerhouse event in Philadelphia.
The audience went wild watching Offset go down on his knee before showing Cardi the enormous diamond ring. The rapper said yes and hugged her boyfriend before going on to dance excitedly.

Earlier this year, Cardi was rumoured to have gotten engaged but she quickly put an end to the speculations in an interview at the 2017 MTV VMA Pre-show, saying:
“I’m a woman. Every woman, I think, wants to get married and wants to have children. It’s never too early to get married now. You know, if you want to propose to me, you can.”
Cardi B shows off her gorgeous ring shortly after her boo, Offset, proposed during a performance at Philadelphia.

When asked if she had been pressuring her man and dropping hints about marriage, she said:
“I don’t gotta put the pressure, you know what I’m saying? I put it down. Ain’t no pressure, baby!” The two rappers have been known to show PDA on social media. Despite rumours of an impending split, the engagement has now put the rumours to rest.

Celebrities / P*rn Actress Commits Suicide After Been Blasted For Refusing To Act With Bi$exua by emmansxky(m): 11:07pm On Dec 07, 2017
The popular adult film actress, August Ames, has passed away at the age of 23, her husband has confirmed.

The Canada-born actress died on Tuesday in Camarillo, California, according to the Ventura County Medical Examiner.

Toxicology reports are being conducted and the official cause of her death has not yet been confirmed.

Ames’ husband, adult film director Kevin Moore, said in a statement: “She was the kindest person I ever knew and she meant the world to me.” Moore has asked for privacy in the wake of Ames’ death.

According to Hollywood Life, friends close to Ames have claimed that she had been battling depression, and that online bullying may have played a part in her death.

Ames received severe criticism on Twitter over the weekend after refusing to complete a scene with a man because he’d previously starred in G.ay P0rn, saying: “I do homework for my body”.

Fans and others slammed her for being homophobic, which she strenuously denied. Instead, Ames said that her comments were not meant to be malicious and she was just looking after her own health.



Ames’ final tweet, posted on Tuesday, simply said: “F.uck y’all”.

Numerous figures in the P0rn industry were deeply shocked by the news of Ames’ death, with fellow por.n star Abella Danger tweeting: “She was the most kind-hearted person ever.”

Producer/director Jules Jordan added: “Rest In Peace to August Ames, one of the best, nicest people I ever knew in the business.”

Yesterday, fellow por.n star Annika Albrite, a friend of Ames, even implied that the recent backlash may have contributed to her death.

“Omg, I can’t believe she’s dead,” Albrite tweeted. “You people should have known better than to berate her over her personal thoughts! Shame on all you for beating it into the ground.

“Online harassment is a real thing & it claimed another life. Someone who I liked & would have even called a friend!”

Ames, whose real name is Mercedes Grabowski, had starred in over 270 adult films since making her acting debut in 2013.

Technology Market / How Google Is Empowering Tech Developers In Africa Through New Mentorship Progra by emmansxky(m): 3:35am On Nov 15, 2017
Google recently announced the launch of its Developers Launchpad mentorship programme geared towards boosting African entrepreneurs and developers
Building on the success of Google’s global Launchpad Accelerator programme, this initiative will operate from a new Google Launchpad Space in Lagos – the first onsite location for the programme outside the United States.
It will provide African startups with over $3-million (R43 million) in equity-free support, working space, and access to expert advisers from Google, Silicon Valley, and Africa over the next three years.
Participants will also receive travel and PR support during the three-month programme.
The first class is set to kick off in early 2018 and the application process for the first intake of participants is currently open and closes on 11 December.
To qualify, all start ups must:
Be a technology startup.
Be based in Sub-Saharan Africa and target the African market.
Have already raised seed funding
In addition, Google says it will consider:
The problem you are trying to solve. How does it create value for users? How are you addressing a real challenge for your home city, country or Africa broadly?
Will you share what you learn in Silicon Valley for the benefit of other startups in your local ecosystem?
“Anyone who spends time in the African technology space knows that the continent is home to some exciting innovations,” says Andy Volk, Sub-Saharan Africa Ecosystem Regional Manager.
“Over the years, Google has worked with some incredible startups across Africa, tackling everything from healthcare, education, streamlining e-commerce to improving the food supply chain. We very much look forward to welcoming the first cohort of innovators for Launchpad Africa and continue to work together to drive innovation in the African market.”
Google is also enabling local developers to monetise their products by facilitating the sale of paid applications, in-app products and subscriptions via Google Play, with monthly payouts made to their bank accounts.
“While there have been plenty of amazing apps built in South Africa, the process of monetising them was never as smooth as we knew it could be,” says Luke McKend, Google South Africa’s Country Director.
“By allowing local developers to monetise their products on the Play Store, we’re underscoring how serious we are about digitally empowering South Africans.
Once a developer has prepared their apps and in-app products, they can price them in any available currencies, publish, and then receive payouts and financial data in rand.

Romance / The Best Love Letter Ever–042jams by emmansxky(m): 7:23pm On Nov 13, 2017
To the dearest one in my life,
You might be surprised when you hear me say this, but I must say it. You might become angry, give no reaction, or laugh at me, but I must be true to myself. I must say this to you. I am going to tell my true feelings about u.
It is not necessary that you must think the way I think. You are free to think whatever pleases you. It is not that I will become happy if you think the way I think and I will be depressed if you don’t think like that. I would be happier if you are true to yourself. Your true feelings towards that will not affect our relationship a bit. In fact, it will strengthen our relation after knowing the feeling of each other. You can choose anything you heart decides. Please don’t care about other things such as society, family or other person while you think. Become true to yourself and answer to yourself.

Celebrities / [gist] Meet The Kenyan Governor Who Has Gold Cars, Uses 24 Karat Gold Phones by emmansxky(m): 12:01pm On Nov 09, 2017
Mike Sonko is the 2nd Governor of Nairobi but he’s more popular for his extravagant lifestyle.
The 42-year-old, who has been a politician for years, is known to show off his luxury possessions on social media. He has a love for all things shiny, gold to be specific, and he has no qualms about acquiring as many gold items as he can.
His cars are all made of gold and so are his phones and jewelries. It is alleged that he only takes drinks that have a golden colour and come in gold bottles.
WTF is this guy? Meet the Kenyan governor who has gold cars, uses 24 karat gold phones and only drinks gold wine (photos)
The flamboyant politician rose to national political prominence when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Makadara Constituency, Kenya at the age of 35. Though he’s now in a legitimate venture – politics -, it wasn’t always so. According to Wikipedia, Sonko spent his early years in crime. He started mugging people in the streets of Nairobi and Mombasa before graduating to international crime.
He was reportedly a major international drug lord, according to Buzz Kenya, and he is a notorious jailbreaker, having escaped from Shimo La Tewa Prison. Before he joined politics, he used to operate a fleet of public vehicles known as Matatus in Eastlands yet still engaged in shady deals.

Celebrities / Ashawo Ripped Condom Off Client’s Pen!s And Swallowed It To Hide Evidence (photo by emmansxky(m): 6:40pm On Nov 08, 2017
A prostitute in fear of being sent to prison pulled her client’s condom off his Pen!s and swallowed it whole to try and destroy the evidence.

The 48-year-old Vietnamese national named Dang was found guilty of perjury after misleading police following a crackdown on $ex workers.

She was jailed for two months for lying to a local court in Western Taiwan after claiming that she did not have $ex with her client, identified as Yao.

Identified only as Dang, she will not be punished for trying to destroy evidence because the condom was never found. Police raided the ‘health spa’ at 9pm on March 14 and found her in a room on the first floor.

Dang and Yao were questioned separately on prostitution charges and Dang denied any illegal activity.

However, her client admitted they were ‘halfway through’ having $ex when police smashed their way in through the front door and said that Dang quickly removed the condom.

Officers searched the room after finding a condom wrapper and later reported that she was constantly asking for water. She was taken to Jen-Ai Hospital in neighbouring Taichung City where scans revealed a ‘shadow’ in her chest, which police believed was the condom.
As a result, they were never able to formally charge Dang with destruction of evidence. Doctors at the facility said the woman – had she really swallowed the condom as suspected – risked having the rubber lodged in her upper respiratory tract or somewhere in her digestive system, which would require surgery to extract in the future. However, it could also be digested without obstruction.
The woman’s client and another massage parlour worker were also punished, but their sentences have not been revealed.
