WhatsApp have of late being advertising its adoption of end to end encryption in its messaging client which it says would keep your messages away from the prying eyes of hackers. However from the demonstration videos below, one can see that promise of security might have been made a bit too soon, as a the video shows that hackers can gain access to other people's WhatsApp acccount. However the blame doesn't solely lie with WhatsApp (although its association of users with their numbers makes it possible), a huge chunk of the blame should go Telecoms Operators whose use of SS7 (Signalling System 7) as a central hub for connection makes it possible to hack a person's WhatsApp account.
In the hack the hacker spoofs the victim's number using an SS7 vulnerability and convinces the WhatsApp client to switch the victim's WhatsApp to his phone.
This enables him not only to respond to messages from people trying to reach the victim but also to see past WhatsApp messages that have been backed up. However it signs out the victim's device which could be a problem for the hacker if the victim tries to reconnect his WhatsApp.Besides WhatsApp, the hackers were also able to execute a similar hack on Telegram.Telegram users would fare a bit worse off than WhatsApp users as they would be oblivious to any hack unlike WhatsApp users who get signed out.

MediaTek introduced its third iteration of its own Fast Charge technology, the Pump Express 3.0, which MediaTek says can get users a 70% chsrge on the smartphones in just about 20 minutes.
MediaTek manages to accomplish this whilst eliminating the heat problem which most of these fast battery charging technologies tend to encounter by bypassing the usual smartphone circuitry. With Pump Express 3.0, the amount of current drawn is regulated by a switch and results inna power efficiency of 50% compared to Pump Express 2.0. It features a bi-directional communication and 20-plus safety and device protection systems built-in, which prevents any overheating issues with the charger or the smartphone. Pump Express 3.0 is the first fast charging to be compliant with the USB-C standard for power delivery.

The Pump Express 3.0 technology would be available in smartphones towards the end of 2016 with smartphones using the MediaTek Helios P20 series chipset.

The Desktops apps works just about the same way as the WhatsApp for Web app, serving as a mirror for messages sent to the WhatsApp app on your smartphone. Just like the WhatsApp for Web, you would need scan a QR code and keep your smartphone powered on.

It's not for pairing with another phone, Cast Screen feature is in a lot of smartphones, it's used to mirror your devices screen on your TV, your TV has to have miracast, or you need an external miracast device plugged into your TV like Chromecast or Easycast.

Let me show you mine. I bought Easycast on gearbest and I use it to watch movies and play games using my TV.

Does the EasyCast require a WiFi connection via a router or does it create a hotspot of it's own?

Please oga se.un help me push to the front thread cos I need to reply this mail today.

I have a B.Sc Industrial Chemistry ( 4.01/5), Pgd Chemical Engineering ( Distinction ).

I applied for a Canadian admission for MSc.E Chemical Engineering. Normally for your admission to be successful you need to secure a supervisor whose research interest is similar to yours. I have done that and he encouraged me to apply. I submitted my application and after going through my application with other supporting documents like letter of motivation and others, he sent me a mail this afternoon that they want to consider me PhD instead of MSc I applied for. I'm very confused right now if to accept it or not considering high standard of education abroad as I use to hear, I haven't experienced foreign education before, this is my first. Please note my ultimate goal is to obtain a PhD. Please help me push to the front thread cos I need advice from experienced Nigerians who have studied abroad. Thanks. I appreciate

I say you take it, the PhD program lasts at least 3 years, that's mkre than enough time to learn the ropes

I think it depends on the type of functionality that you require, if you need a purpose built website with tons of functionality such as ecommerce and what not. WordPress is the way to go. But if you're just trying to set up a simple blog and then later see what hkw you can improve on it then blogger is your best bet.

Blogger pared with the right theme could work out really well for you. check my signature.

if you're a newbie, I'd advice you to go with Blogger, then activate mobile blogging via email and use Inbox by Google to post. Learn a little bit about html just a little bit for download links and references.

Blogger is the best for beginners and hobbyists

Yesterday I decided to go and Register my ntel lime in order to be among the 1st 100,000 that would make calls free for life, but when I went there I found out that what ntel sim was really about and seriously 95%of people don't know what this ntel is all about . So am going to throw it down as point for easy reading and understanding



* The sim is only for 4g phones with LTE technology
* You can only register one simcard with one ID, I.e if you reserved for lines you would have to go with 4 different IDs
* This network is for the rich and those who are conversant with 4g technology
* In this network you would make fewer voice calls than normal cause the minutes you can call is attached to the data you buy
* The 100,000 that will make call free for life will make the free calls only within themselves.

So before you go to get your ntel sim ask yourself is it worth the stress cause believe me you are going to spend a lot if time on your feet.

Could you confirm how much data you were able to use

I could see myself getting one as feature phone but not at that price.
This phone isn't perfect for anyone no matter the age.

Bad news Hip Hop fans, Drake's long awaited fifth studio album "Views from the 6" is about to go the same route as Kanye West did with his "The Life of Pablo" album, by making his new album an Apple Music exclusive at least for the first week.
It comes as no surprise with streaming companies such as Spotify, Apple Music and Tidall trying to get one up on each other. Thank Heavens that the Views from the 6 Apple Music exclusivity would just be a week long.

HTC finally took the wraps off its newest flagship device the "HTC 10" (yeah they've dropped the "One" branding). The HTC 10 pretty much continues the all metal premium feeling design first introduced with the HTC One (which is a good thing).
The HTC 10 sports a 5.2 inch QuadHD (2560 x 1440 pixels, 546ppi) LCD display with 2.5D curved edge Gorilla glass which puts it on par with flagship devices from Samsung and LG. The internal of the HTC 10 contains Qualcomm's top of the line 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor clocked at 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM for better multitasking, 32GB or 64GB memory options which can be further expanded via the microSD slot and powered by a large 3000mAh non-removable battery. The HTC 10 supports Qualcomm's new Quick Charging 3.0 which allows it to gain a 50% boost in a mere 30 minutes.

The Ultrapixel camera branding from the HTC One M7 makes a return with the HTC 10 sporting a 12MP HTC Ultrapixel2 sensor with pixel sizes of 1.55 microns and an aperture size of f/1.8 which allows more light to enter the camera sensors. The 12MP camera sports laser autofocus for speedier snaps and OIS for better low light photos. The front facing selfie camera maxs out at 5MP with 1.34 micron pixels size and f/1.8 aperture.

Although the HTC 10 swaps out one of the front facing speakers for a Samsungesque Home button, which doubles as a fingerprint scanner, and dual capacitive buttons setup (which is i find welcoming, if the space is going to be there, might as well use it for something) it still retains the stereo BoomSound™ sound as the second speaker has been moved to the bottom of the device. The new setup according to HTC allows the bottom speakers to act as a subwoofer. The HTC 10 also comes with a Hi-Res Audio certified inbox headphones with bigger sound drivers for a richer sound.
On the software side of things, HTC has chosen to keep its modifications down to a minimum with the changes to stock Android being the use of the Sense launcher. All the common Android OEM bloatware have been removed leaving just a theme engine and Boost+ (an app, battery and memory manager). The Boost+ app allows users to lock specific apps which they don't want others to get to an also manages the performance of the device by detecting the type of app running and boosting the performance of the HTC 10 to match the requirements.
The HTC 10 would be available later for purchase this month in a choice of Carbon Gray, Glacier Silver Topaz Gold and Camellia Red. The pricing for the unlocked version of the HTC 10 starts at $699 or N225,000 assuming an exchange rate of $1= N336.

Wizkid Starboy becomes first Nigerian artist to feature on Billboard charts

Drake'ss 'One dance' shines the light on the Nigerian pop singer's International presence.

Wizkid becomes first Nigerian artist to feature on Billboard''s Twitter last 24hrs music chart
» more Wizkid emerges first Nigerian artist to feature on Billboard''s Twitter last 24hrs trending music chart (Billboard)
Wizkid has become the first Nigerian artist to emerge on Billboard’s Twitter Last 24 hours chart courtesy of his feature in Drake's'One dance' song.
Two days ago, Drake dropped two singles, ‘Pop style’ featuring Kanye West and Jay Z, and ‘One dance’ featuring Wizkid and Kyla. On 'One Dance,' the 6 God gets assists from Wizkid, who he worked with last year, and Kyla, sampling the Crazy Cousinz remix of her song, 'Do You Mind'. This raises the bar a lot higher for the star pop singer helping to improve his brand visibility. The tune 'One dance' features production by Ninteen85 with co-production credits by 40.

Wizkid already featured Drake in a remix to his 'Ojuelegba' fan favourite and award-winning song.

The single 'One dance' is off Drake's forthcoming album, following his successful "What a time to be alive" released in 2015.

The collaboration was said to have come about thanks to Skepta, a friend of Wizkid, who introduced the song to Drake during a Wireless Music Festival held in London.

The crossover tune has gone on to have other covers and refixes with top artistes such as Sarkodie.


The star pop singer has had other international collaborations preceding this one with Drake. He has worked with Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo, Ty Dolla $ign, and recorded a hook with Coldplay’s Chris Martin for pop star Rihanna. A performance with Chris Brown was in the works also in South Africa at the ‘X Tour’, so was another recording with UK star Tinie Tempah, and Norwegian pop icons Nico & Vinz. The 'Baba nla' singer is also likely to put out new music with American- Nigerian singer Jidenna.


Drake also has released another single titled 'Pop style' featuring Jay-Z and Kanye West.

Check on the new joint 'One dance' off iTunes.

Ad blocking has being in the tech news for a minute now. And all the popular kids from Chrome to Firefox to the Samsung Internet app all have this feature via third party extension with only the Opera Browser supporting this feature natively and now they're are bringing this feature to its most popular browser, the Opera Mini (the beta version at the moment).

The Ad blocking can enabled from the data savings page.
So far, the ad blocking is a bit hit and miss in the High Savings mode but works every time in Extreme Savings mode.

But it seems you just guessed

No i actually wasn't right. My math was off by a magnitude of about a 100.

I corrected it after it was pointed out to me.

pimpo:


Clear sign of the indomie generation. I suppose u've never heard of Sade Adu.

That's why the last paragraph had this
I'm pretty sure that if one really checks the Billboard there might be more Nigerian artists who have singles that have been charted on the Billboard music charts.
