Mine was in high school.

There are usually weekly inspections and they start with the girls' hostels first.

That Saturday, they decided to start with the boys hostel and I was not ready so I hid in the ceiling.

PhonesMalicious Gaming App Infects More Than 1 Million Android Users by Macintosh101(op): 9:13am On Jul 13, 2015
It's not at all surprising that the Google Play
Store is surrounded by a number of malicious
applications that may gain users' attention to
fall victim for one, but this time it might be even
worse than you thought.

Threat researchers from security firm ESET have
discovered a malicious Facebook-Credentials-
Stealing Trojan masquerading as an Android
game that has been downloaded by more than
a Million Android users.

Malicious Android Apps downloaded
50,000-1,000,000 times
The Android game, dubbed " Cowboy Adventure ,"
and another malicious game, dubbed " Jump
Chess" – downloaded up to 50,000 times, have
since been removed from Google Play Store.
However, before taking them off from the app
store, the creepy game apps may have
compromised an unknown number of victims'
Facebook credentials.
Both the games were created by the same
software developer, Tinker Studio and both were
used to gather social media credentials from
unsuspecting users. How Cowboy Adventure victimizes
Android users?
Once installed, Cowboy Adventure produced a
fake Facebook login window that prompted
users to enter their Facebook usernames along
with their passwords. A practice known as
OAuth in which a 3rd party asks your Facebook
login.
However, if users provide their credentials to
Cowboy Adventure app, the malicious code
within the game app allegedly sent their
credentials to the attacker's server.[b]It's not at all surprising that the Google Play

Therefore, If you have downloaded Cowboy
Adventure or Jump Chess, you should
immediately change not alone your Facebook
password, but any service that uses the same
combination of username and password as your
Facebook account.
ESET senior security researcher Robert Lipovsky
believes that the app malicious behavior is not
just a careless mistake of the game developer,
but the developer is actually a criminal minded.
Take Away
A few basic tips that you should always keep in
your mind are:
Always download apps from official
sources, such as Google Play Store or
Apple's App Store.
Read reviews from other users before
downloading an app (Many users
complained about "Cowboy Adventure"
that the game locked them out of
Facebook accounts).
Always use two-factor authentication
on services that makes it harder for
hackers to access your accounts with
just your password.
Always keep a malware scanning
software from trusted vendors like
Avast, AVG, ESET, Kaspersky and
Bitdefender, on your smartphone.

The Almajiris are well known all over nigeria as wayward, uncared for and beggars. Therefore bad upbringings thrive among the Arewas .NOT the Asari Dokubos. Get your fact right

Phones10 Amazing Facts You Didnt Know About Android by Macintosh101(op): 8:23pm On May 07, 2015
Top 10 amazing facts about Google’s
Android operating system which most
users dont know
Android, the worlds mostly widely used
smartphone operating System is growing
day by day with its highly enriched user
interface and extensively used mobile
applications. Some are using it as platform
to develop applications while the others use
it as one of source which connects them
with their friends and relatives due to its
highly customizable and user friendly
applications.
So it can rather be said that Android is
dominating the mobile market.
But there are certain facts about android
which users should be aware as they are
using the Google based android
applications.
Android was not founded by Google
The Android operating system was founded
by Andy Rubin, Chris White, Nick Sears and
Rich Miner under the umbrella Android
Inc. It was established in October 2003.
Android was later acquired by Google who
had been backing the company all along.
The deal was struck in August 2005 at a
price of $50 million. Google marketed the
platform to handset makers and carriers on
the promise of providing a flexible,
upgradable system.
Google launched Android in 2007
Google officially launched the operating
system in November 2007. The operating
system had initially been developed for
cameras but Google saw a potential in the
usage of the OS on smartphones and
worked on a lot more features that you can
see now. So Google saw it as potential
opportunity to establish its impact on
market by making it a platform for newer
version of Smartphone.
Android was initially developed only for
digital cameras
Android operating system was developed as
a platform for digital cameras. But Google
later changed its focus to smart phones as
it saw its potential. So Google decided to
go on and adopt Android OS for
smartphones which has created a revolution
in smartphones as it was widely accepted
and easily accessible.
HTC Dream – First Android Smartphone
The first publicly used phone to run Android
was HTC Dream. The HTC Dream was first
released in October 2008. The device used
the Linux-based Android operating system
by Google. It used Android version 1.0 and
was upgradable till 1.6. The Android
operating system on the device was
criticized for lack of functionality and
software in comparison to certain
established platforms like Nokia’s
proprietary Symbian OS but was still
considered to be innovative.
Android has more than a billion users
Google’s Vice President for Android, Sundar
Pichai, announced that the Android
operating system has powered hundreds of
millions of mobile devices in more than 190
countries around the world. It’s the largest
installed base of any mobile platform and
growing fast—every day another million
user’s power up their Android devices for
the first time and start looking for apps,
games, and other digital content.
Android Version Names
Apart from Android 1.0 and 1.1, all other
Android versions have been named after
sweet treats or desserts. These codenames
are chosen alphabetically, and have thus far
all been dessert items. Some codenames
are associated with more than one version
number, while others are limited to only a
specific one. The reason for this
inconsistency is not currently known. The
naming typically appears to correspond to
changes in the developer API levels, but
this is not always true (example: 3.0 and
3.1 are both “Honeycomb” but they have
different API levels). The names of different
versions are :-
Cupcake:
Android 1.5
Donut:
Android 1.6
Eclair:
Android 2.0
Android 2.1
Froyo: ( short for “frozen yogurt” )
Android 2.2
Gingerbread:
Android 2.3
Honeycomb:
Android 3.0
Android 3.1
Android 3.2
Ice Cream Sandwich:
Android 4.0
Jelly Bean:
Android 4.1
Android 4.2
Android 4.3
KitKat:
Android 4.4
Lolipop:
Android 5.0
Android 5.1
Android Naming Order
Android versions have been following an
alphabetical order in their naming and
upgrades but many users have failed to
notice this.
1. A for Astro (1.0)
2. B for Bender (1.1)
3. C for Cupcake (1.5)
4. D for Donut (1.6)
5. E for Eclair (2.0)
6. F for Froyo (2.2.x)
7. G for Gingerbread (2.3.x)
8. H for Honeycomb (3.x)
9. I for Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.x)
10. J for Jelly Bean (4.3)
11. K for KitKat (4.4)
12. L for Lollipop (5.0)
Open marketplace for distributing your
apps
With Google being a member of Open
Handset Alliance (OHA), Android has given
users or interested party right access to
modify the source code of the operating
system. Android was built from the
ground-up to enable developers to create
compelling mobile applications that take full
advantage of the specs that a handset has
to offer. It can be liberally extended to
incorporate new cutting edge technologies
as they emerge. The platform will continue
to evolve as the developer community
works together to build innovative mobile
applications. This has allowed users and
smartphone manufacturer’s great flexibility
in adding features to the operating system.
This also enables OEM’s to develop their
skinned versions.
Android is open source
Google offers Android operating system to
smartphone manufacturers without
payment for its license. This is one of the
major advantages of Android which had
attracted users as a platform to innovate
more new apps based on it.
Google gains from Android
Despite offering the Android software open
sourced to smartphone manufacturers,
Google will likely achieve its aim of
becoming the mobile advertising king
through Android devices. Google makes its
biggest revenue from advertising and this
will pay off in the big way with the users
from PCs to smartphones and tablets. It
must be noted that Android dominates both
categories.
So all done. Do you find these facts
interesting? If you know any other Android
fact we left out, you can comment below.

Windows 10 Build 10051 Gets New
Email App, Google Calendar Support
Added
Looks like Microsoft is in a hurry to meet
its summer 2015 deadline for Windows 10
release. Today a leaked version of Windows
10 Build 10051 arrived which reveals the
amount of work Microsoft engineers have
been putting to meet the release date.
Windows 10 build 10051 is now available
for download from a number of file-sharing
websites. Right now, this new build is only
available as a stand-alone ISO and only in
English and there’s no indication that
additional versions could be released.
Whats new with Windows Build 10051
The biggest change over the earlier
Windows 10 build 10049 is the new Email
App. The new Mail app features a more
modern look and although it’s optimized for
touch, it can also be used on a PC with a
mouse and a keyboard. A hamburger button
in the top left corner allows users to browse
email folders and accounts, while tabs to
change the format of a new email, insert
objects, and review the message before
sending have also been added.
Reports indicate that this Email app may be
precursor to the full fledged new Outlook
App which Microsoft is planning to release
with the future release of Microsoft Office.
Another addition is the Google Calendar
support to its own Calendar App. Till now
such support was missing in Windows 8.1
as well as Windows 10 technical previews
however many users had requested
Microsoft to add Google Calendar support
in the final Windows 10 so Microsoft seems
to be trying it out.
A Google Calendar account can be added
easily from the add new account screen
and it works just like any other calendar
that has been configured in the app.
We cant provide any download links for this
Windows 10 Build 10051 as it has not been
officially released. However you can search
popular file sharing networks for the build.
