No

The modern age has made it much easier for those who are religious. Especially those who want to study religious texts like the Holy Bible. Not long ago, you’d have to find a pocket Bible or figure out a why to carry that giant book around with you. These days you can just carry a copy of it on your mobile device for quick reference. Here are the best Bible apps and Bible study apps for Android!

Audible is a popular audio book platform. It specializes in books read by a human voice. Luckily, they have a few different editions of the Bible that you can choose from. You can listen to the Bible pretty much anywhere you want. That includes your home, the car, or even while taking a walk. It won’t replace your physical copy of the book. However, it is one of the better companion Bible apps that we’ve found.

Bible Trivia Quiz is a simple little quiz game. As you can imagine, it asks questions about various stories in the Bible. You can play games of varying lengths including ten questions, 20 questions, or 50 questions. According to user reviews, the questions should all have correct answers. The instructions are also easy to follow. Of course, getting a question wrong shows you the right answer along with the Bible verse it came from. That means you can look it up on your own for further Bible study. It’s one of the better Bible apps for studying scripture and it’s completely free.

You can save your favorites or you can share them on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites as well. It’s also a free app with no in-app purchases.

Pocket Casts is an app that lets you download and play podcasts. A lot of ministries and churches these days put their weekly sermons up on iTunes or Google Play. Pocket Casts can find them and download them so you can listen to the sermon wherever you may be. There are also a variety of Christian-oriented podcasts that discuss ideas, Bible verses, current events, and more. Realistically, any podcast app should be able to do the trick. However, Pocket Casts is easily the best one. Like Audible, it’s not one of the traditional Bible apps. You can use it as one, though.

There are also commentaries and devotionals for those who want to read more. There are a small number of ads in the app. However, any in-app purchase will remove them permanently. It’s good for what it does.

China is currently the largest smartphone market in the world, followed by the US, but it looks like things will change in the future. According to a report by Statista, in two years time, India may surpass the US to become the second largest smartphone market in the world.

India is anticipated to grab almost 15 percent of the world’s smartphone market share, while the US will drop down to third place with a market share of 10 percent. China, which currently has a 31 percent market share, is expected to remain number one.



The possibility that India could surpass the US in terms of the number of smartphone users has been predicted for a while now. The demand for smartphones has been increasing in the country, thanks to affordable devices from Chinese companies including Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi, just to name a few. Further, the population of India (well over 1 billion) is far larger than the population of the US (around 320 million), which is obviously an important factor.

In addition to India, the demand for smartphones is also expected to increase in other emerging markets like Brazil, for example. That’s why more and more manufacturers are trying to increase their presence in these markets. Xiaomi, for example, has opened a second factory in India, said to be capable of producing one smartphone per second during operational hours. Samsung also sees a bright future in India and has recently announced its plan to double the size of its existing production plant in the country.http://thetechlicense.com/2017/06/09/report-india-to-overtake-the-us-as-the-second-largest-smartphone-market-by-2019/

Apple employees in China were running an underground market selling off customer data on the black market.

According the AFP, the criminal ring included 20 Apple employees partaking in the operation, and included the sale of names, phone numbers, Apple IDs and other data. The information was sold off as single items, ranging from 10 yuan ($1.50) to 80 yuan ($26.50), totaling 50 million yuan ($7.36 million) sum.

Chinese authorities were working on the case for months before arrests were made across four provinces—Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian. Authorities acquired the perpetrator’s “criminal tools” and put an end to their online network.

The Apple employees involved in the operation worked in Apple’s marketing and outsourcing departments. AFP’s report doesn’t mention how authorities were tipped off of the scam or how long it took place. The report also notes it’s not clear to whom the compromised data belonged to—foreign or Chinese Apple customers.

China recently passed a cybersecurity law putting extra emphasis in protecting customer’s online data. If companies fail to do so, they may face stiff fines or other, more serious repercussions like loss of business licenses.

This tutorial is base on creating a very simple calculator for Android using Android Studio and it also assumes that you have Android Studio (2.3.2 was used) installed, know a little bit about java and ability to read and understand texts.

The application is really going to be simple and lazy in terms of programming, but it is enough to get you started.

The Application Rules
It can only use one operator
You must click on the equals (=) to get your result
Steps
The first thing you will need to do is to create an android project with Activity “MainActivity” and Layout “activity_main.xml.”

After this, you will need to design your layout with Buttons and a textview for displaying the results. Make sure it looks like the XML below with the appropriate onClick functions for easy communication with the MainActivity.

The source code doesn't display well here . Check here http://thetechlicense.com/2017/05/25/building-simple-calculator-android-studio/.


Now it is time to code our MainActivity as follow:

Create the onClick funtions
Seven variables
And create a view for the TextView
The code below will explain itself
MainActivity.java
The source code doesn't display well here . Check here http://thetechlicense.com/2017/05/25/building-simple-calculator-android-studio/.

Who doesn’t shop online now,it is so much easier for us and although it pack higher fee, it is still a better way. But why do I prefer Jumia over Konga. The only reason I love Konga is because I knew it first over the latter Jumia.

The key word you should watch out for here is innovation and I will try to explain why Jumia has it.

Jumia knows how to run a long term business cos the introduced sub businesses and they seem to perform great. Take JumiaFood for instance, it is getting to the top of the chat.

Jumia advertises at all section which explains why they have a higher alexa rating than Konga. The marketers fo a solid job advertising this online mall.

Jumia has also perfected the art of collaboration. If you didn’t notice, it now has international market in which good from the USA can be shopped direct from Nigeria.

And that is the real definition of innovation.

Samsung has confirmed to Axios that it will be shipping the Galaxy S8 without one of the device’s hallmark features, that being the voice part of its Bixby voice assistant.

The digital assistant, which Samsung announced last month in conjunction with its newest smartphones, is a bit different than Siri or Google Now due to its affinity for text and camera-powered queries in addition to voice commands.

While Bixby will launch with the computer vision chops of its Vision feature and the deluxe notifications screen it calls Bixby Home, Samsung has detailed that the assistant’s hallmark feature, Bixby Voice, will be unavailable to US customers until “later this spring.”

This all exemplifies what a mad dash Samsung has been making to enter the voice assistant fray following its acquisition of Viv Labs this past October.

Samsung had already detailed that Bixby voice wouldn’t be launching in full force, originally detailing that voice controls would be integrated into some key native apps with a limited number of languages being supported at launch.

omololu2020:
it's really affecting local taxi drivers in Nigeria too

local taxis are worse

We are not talking about those single lovers, those that use only one device as a daily driver and probably one device for everything we could call the die hard fans. But, it is for those of us that use two not three or four but two smartphone as our daily driver.

There are so many reasons that could prompt you as a person to use two smartphones at least I know a few of those, one being the fact that you want to use two sim cards maybe one for home and the other for office, another reason maybe because the two devices handle different task or let’s put it this way, the cons of one is the pros of the other. The final reason that I could come up with is your intention to showing off and that seems to be a cool one.

So, which of this devices really matches when it comes to using them together? That question ain’t cheap for someone in my field and for me I would say the Samsung and the iPhone. Why? Let me buttress on the facts.

It doesn’t matter whether it is a Samsung S8 and an iPhone 4 or the iPhone 7 and the Samsung galaxy S3 mini, the scenario here is that these two manufactures blend in so perfectly together. One running Android and another running the iOS, two platforms that seems to cancel out your smartphone problems when used together and not to forget that they are the most used smartphone platforms in the world right now. You could make use of it in this way, some applications are either exclusive to the Apple store or the Play store which means using them together would guarantee the availability of those application or games.

I might also want to use my MTN and Etisalat on the two devices and at this point you might be thinking why can’t I just get a dual sim Samsung phone or two iPhone 5 so as to spend less. Well, we are talking about using the best in the game here and the iPhone and the Samsung works perfectly for that reason and moreso who fancies the act of using a device with dual sim card slot.

An now for the showing off part. I use the most expensive phones in their category and who will not be tempted to look at me and even to come closer. People use the Samsung the are considered rich, people also use the iPhone and they are also considered rich but what about those that use both the iPhone are Samsung. Think about what you will be called or referred to.

Good move. Until uber adheres to local taxi pricing and rules it will eventually kill off local competition.



Even here in Nigeria, it's affecting the business of poor taxi driver ls

listening

While Uber is fighting Waymo at home, the American company is also having issues abroad. As Reuters reported, an Italian court has ordered Uber to stop all activities in all of Italy. The court says Uber represents unfair competition for taxi drivers.

In particular, the court in Rome says that Uber is a transportation company but doesn’t respect transportation laws — rates aren’t set by the transportation authority. That was the main contention point for traditional taxi associations as they can’t compete with Uber on price.

Uber has ten days to shut down all its activities and can’t run any advertising campaign. After that, the company will have to pay €10,000 per day if the company still operates (€3.65 million per year). As of today, you can still order an Uber ride in Italy.

Uber told La Repubblica that it will appeal the decision. The company said that the transportation law is outdated and doesn’t benefit Italian users.

In hopes of getting more users on board, Twitter has recently announced a new mobile web experience called Twitter Lite. It loads quickly on slower connections, minimizes data usage, and takes up less than 1 MB on your device.

Twitter Lite is mainly aimed at users in emerging markets across Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa who have to deal with slower mobile networks and expensive data plans. The company says that it is optimized for speed and should launch 30 percent faster when compared with the standard version of the social network.

It has quite a few features one would expect, as you are able to view your timeline, tweet, send direct messages, view profiles as well as trends, upload images, and more. As this is a lite version, some functionalities, like video uploading, for example, are not supported.

Twitter Lite also has a useful data saver mode, which allows you to see a preview of images and videos and lets you choose which ones you want to download. The company claims that this can reduce your data usage by up to 70 percent.

If you’re using it in Google Chrome on an Android device, you have the option of receiving a wide range of push notifications. You can also add Twitter Lite to your home screen if you plan on using it often, as that will allow you to launch it quickly with just a tap.

Twitter Lite is already available to users around the world. If you want to try it out, all you have to do is visit mobile.twitter.com on your mobile device.

This is not a Samsung vs Tecno article. This post tell you how far the small companies have gone in terms of tech but because – well they are small, there technology get overlooked. A disclaimer first, am not saying that tecno came up with the idea am about to share first or neither am saying it’s Samsung idea cos i don’t know. All I know is that I discovered it on some Tecno device first.

I think this tech was available only on the h series of Tecno phones like the tecno h5 and what it does is that it uses a home button that even when the backlight of the phone is off, you can bring it on by just touching it. It also has customization like a light around it that serves as a notification.


Samsung went ahead and implemented this into their Galaxy s8 and little did anyone know that it existed on some devices. Samsung just modified it to it’s own taste while still performing basic function like that of the tecno h5 and I have to say that it looks cooler.
