YOu are not answering...

DearDealsz:
I can see a tall guy wearing blue Jersey who looks like Kanu

but wait oooo, who can name all these players offhand... Oya older generation nairalanders over to you .

Free wristwatch for the correct answer...

Off by heart; not off hand.

ln the name of all that is holy, Nigerians should learn to read rather than commenting.

well done. Just the begining!

Yeah, you are right. Robotic insects

Not yet sold on the idea of swapping out your luxury timepiece for an Apple Watch? What if we told you that you could have both on the same wrist?

The newly announced Nico Gerard Pinnacle line of watches offers a luxurious NG watch on the top of its bracelet and a small Apple Watch buckled to its flip side. The advancement means you can finally enjoy the old and the new in one wearable … though walking around with one of these gaudy things may cost you more cool points than you’re willing to part with.

The Pinnacle watch variants start at $9,300 and top out at a $112,000 gold model. The less expensive steel versions come with a steel Apple Watch; naturally the gold Pinnacle comes packaged with a gold Apple Watch Edition.

Would you buy? Lasticlala ishilove

Hehe Wait e be like say rain wan fall

Not my car it's a post I came across on http://www.wearobo.com/2015/07/a-26-year-old-guy-in-air-force-just.html those guys above me didn't even read the article before sending their congratulatory messages

I managed to pick it up last Thursday after working really hard with the dealership. The stars aligned for this to be mine. When I showed up to look at it MONDAY the dealer guys told me someone had come in just before me to buy it and had two vehicles to trade and it looked like a done deal.

I was pretty heart broken because I knew I couldn't afford a brand new one, I went and looked at them anyway and while looking at them they dealer told me the deal didn't work out for the other guy and I was going to get the car.
Super exciting and the whole deal took about four days to go down and I got it home at around 11:30 Thursday night.

Man has invented a tool that will wipe it off the face of the earth in a short time.

A robot has killed a contractor at one of Volkswagen’s production plants in Germany, the automaker has said.

The man died on Monday at the plant in Baunatal, about 100km (62 miles) north of Frankfurt, VW spokesman Heiko Hillwig said.

The 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the stationary robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate, Hillwig said.

He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot, which can be programmed to perform various tasks in the assembly process. He said it normally operates within a confined area at the plant, grabbing auto parts and manipulating them.

Another contractor was present when the incident occurred, but was not harmed, Hillwig said. He declined to give any more details about the case, citing an ongoing investigation.

German news agency DPA reported that prosecutors were considering whether to bring charges, and if so, against whom.

True love knows no bounds, except maybe battery life.

While same-sex couples across America celebrated their right to marry this weekend, festivities of a more mechanical sort were happening in Tokyo.

On Saturday, robot groom Frois and robot bride Roborin were married. In a ceremony officiated by the emotional humanoid robot Pepper, the two formalized things and even shared a kiss, the Daily Mail reported.

The wedding was organized by Maywa Denki, an art collective conceived by two brothers, Masamichi and Novmichi, according to the company biography, that make nonsense machines and even musical instruments.

The bride, Roborin, was created by robot inventor Todo Takayuki, and has a face apparently modelled after the star of Japanese girl group AKB48, Yuki Kashiwagi. Frois was created by Maywa Denki and is described as having "bath chair of the head," or so says Google Translate.

The event and buffet was attended by 100 lucky guests, who paid 10,000 yen (US$81.31) for the privilege.

While this may be one of the first robot-to-robot unions, robots have been participating in human weddings for a while now. In 2007, a robot named Tiro introduced a South Korean couple to guests at their wedding, and in 2010, Japanese couple Tomohiro Shibata and Satoko Inouye were married by a four-foot tall robot, I-Fairy.

Techoftoday:
Ofcourse yes.

Now that's a good way to catch child sex abusers. You shouldn't ponder on where to catch these criminals, just use a computer-generated sweetie and they will come like sharks---10,100, every hour.

A computer-generated 10-year-old girl has help caught more than 1000 child sex abusers. The virtual girl posed on video chat rooms as a young Filipino girl to track down these men who commits this abominable acts, after Dutch charity organization Terre des Hommes set up a fake profile for the job.

The men, seeing how beautiful she was, irrespective of her age, offered her money to perform sexual acts like undressing herself on webcam . But it did not flashed on them they were communicating with the team behind the sting operation, and ''sweetie'' was only fooling them. Among the 20,000 men that contacted her(they had no shame!), it was revealed 1000 paedophiles from 71 countries offered her money,110 Britons, 254 Americans and 103 from India.

It was also revealed the men, out of ''hunger'' to see her unclothedness, willfully gave out their true identities on Skype and other social networking sites. The charity has handed over their findings to the Police, which they are expected to use to track and arrest these child predators. Mind you, your name could be on the list(search your heart). Ok I was joking

One Australian groomer has even pleaded guilty to sending sexually explicit pictures of himself to the fake-10-year old known to them as ''sweeties'' and has been sentenced to two years in person.

BBC Reporter Angus Crawford paid a visit to charity organisation room and saw how they logged on to a chat room as ''Sweetie.'' He said, I quote '' within seconds, like sharks, men were cycling''.

However, the European Union policing agency Europol expressed reservations about Terre des Hommes's approach."We believe that criminal investigations using intrusive surveillance measures should be the exclusive responsibility of law enforcement agencies," Europol spokesman Soren Pedersen said.

Can't seem to find any other tech blog such with traffic in Nigeria. 53,000 monthly unique visitors.

As you know Nigerians pay exorbitant fees for data services owing to the high cost and complexities of moving international bandwidth capacity lying idle on the coastline across the nooks and crannies of the nation. You will agree with me that a 4GB of data(on MTN) cost N10,000. And the rate at which your mobile data plan is exhausted before the stipulated time is nothing to write home about.

But here you will get to know how to reduce your mobile data usage with apps that do not change the way your smartphone works and save yourself a lot of cash. These apps just stand between you and the Internet, squishing your data down so it uses as little space as possible before travelling over your cellular carriers mobile data network. They work by routing your data by way of a third-party server. That is, instead of a visiting a website's server directly to download a webpage, the apps connect to the site's server through a third-party server to download the webpage, compress it and then send it to you. That way they help you to reduce your mobile data where it really counts.

Opera Max
Opera Max encrypt data for all apps on your phone when you are connected to a mobile data network. Download and install Opera Max from Google Play Store. It will route all apps traffic via opera's own servers, and compressed to save your phone's data. Opera Max is able to compress photos, web pages, videos etc.. It also allows you to track those apps guzzling your cellular mobile data.Block them from using it.

Onavo Extend
Another app that saves your mobile data plan is Facebook's Onavo Extend. It runs in your Android smartphone's background and directs all of your phone mobile data traffic through Onavo's servers .While it doesn't compress videos unlike the one above, it is still one of the best apps to save data.

Chrome's Reduce Data Feature
This feature can be found in Google Chrome app and saves data while your surf the web using Chrome web browser. To enable this feature: Get the chrome app on your smartphone, open it and tap the menu button, and click settings. Scroll to bandwidth management>Reduce data usage and activate it. You are done.

Opera's Off-Road Mode/Operamini
Yet another best app to save mobile data is using Opera browser to surf the web as they all come with this feature. Just like Google Chrome Reduce Data feature, it saves your data only when you are browsing with opera. This could help save you on data when tethering.

My Data Manager
This app is compatible with iOS devices running 7.0 or later and help you control your mobile data usage. There's an overview to help you track your data everyday---so that you don't go out of line.

The journey into the world of employment can take different forms. For some, it can be easy while for others it might be very difficult. Finding that particular job that resonates with you; that brings out the nest in you; that makes you be on top of your game at all time is not child’s play.

Job interviews are critical parts of this journey. In some cases, you might have to appear at different stages of interview – first interview, second interview and third interview. Even more in some cases. The higher the level of the interview process the more difficult the questions you are asked. And your ability to tactfully answer these questions will put you in a vantage position over other interviewees.

It is important to note that apart from the regular interview questions, some other questions may pop up that are not even related to the job you are applying for. Sometimes interviewers do this to see how you can think on the spot and make decisions when you have a short time to decide. And also know that it is one of the ways to separate the wheat from the chaff.

So what are some of the hard questions you may likely be asked at your next interview?

Let us consider 10 of such questions.

1. How did you or will you deal with a non-performing colleague? This is a human relationship question. The essence is to test your ability to work with people and be a team player. Definitely there will be times that colleagues fail in their duties and your own work is affected, but how do you deal with such situation? Tell the panel that you will find out if all is well with the colleague provided everything necessary to do his/her work is available. Tell them you will ask if there is nothing disturbing this colleague and if anything, how may you help so that his/her work and yours does not suffer.

2. Describe your relationship with your last boss or supervisor: The truth is that you can never have a perfect boss or supervisor. There will always be areas where you disagree with him/her. And these disagreements sometimes can be awry and leave much to be desired. However, you don’t have to tell the panel how you hated your boss or supervisor, because doing so will give an impression of how you will be relating with your new boss or supervisor should you be hired.

3. How do you get along with older or younger colleagues? The world of work is dynamic and you will meet different people with different ideologies and age ranges. Your colleagues could be older or younger. Except if there are laid down policies that stipulate how to relate in terms of addressing each other, for example as it is in some corporate organisations where they address each other by their first names, then how you relate and get along becomes critical. Mention that respect is a virtue that you have (hopefully you do), and that giving everyone their dues is how you deal with people, whether they are younger or older.

4. What is your main weakness? This is a tricky question and many interviewees fail it because they unwittingly give answers that focus on their inability to deliver on the job. Remember that always, during interview focus should always be about your strength and that is what you should always project. So in a situation like this tell them you have tendencies to over work. Or that you can’t stand it when targets are not met. This way you have turned ‘weakness into strength’ by giving such reply.

5. What salary do you expect? Many job applicants fail at this stage of the interview. Many make the mistake of talking money at the first stage of the interview. Doing this may project you as being money conscious. Do all you can at this stage to show what value and how you will add that value to the company. But when it gets to the salary part, be careful not to be the first to mention a figure, because you may mention an amount lower than what the company is planning to pay. You should wait and let them give you a range that they are willing to pay and then pick a figure that is slightly above the median amount. But if you are not sure, you can tell them you will get back to them so you can go and do your research to know industry standard as it relates to the job you are applying for. You can do an online search.

6. Where do you see yourself in the next five years? Another very knavish question that requires some level of dexterity in answering. Interviewees who are not skilled will fall into this trap easily. When you answer this question you must show how this job will help you build a career. Don’t say you are going to switch careers and move on to something else that might suggest to the interviewers that you are not committed and focused. Mention where you see yourself in five years and how this job is key to take you there, not the money, but the challenge, experience and opportunity that comes from doing such a job.

7. What kind of a leader are you? A novice might be caught napping here. Someone who does not know that leadership is not about the position but responsibility will goof with this question. Basically, there are two types of leaders (but further breakdown exist), autocratic or democratic. An autocratic leader does not listen to team members. He just issues commands and everyone must obey without questioning. But a democratic leader is one who carries team member along; listens to their views and opinions and then accepts when he makes mistakes and makes amends. He also does not arrogate all the glory to himself but acknowledges the efforts made by other team members. So this question is seeking to find out if you are a team player. So watch your steps before you slip.

8. If you find money or any other valuable within work premises that the owner cannot be traced, what will you do? Before anything, you should know this is a question about your integrity. Can you be trusted is what they want to know (Hopefully you can be). Tell them since the money is not yours and the owner cannot be traced immediately you will hand it over to the company for keeps in case the owner shows up later, or as the case may be, hand it over to the police. And if you have an experience that can back that point give it.

9. Why should I hire you? Many job applicants freeze at this question. Naturally you would have thought that the interviewer should know why you are there facing the panel in the first place, so why the question “Why should I hire you?” You are expected to show the panel that you have the necessary set of skills and experience to deliver on the job. That is why you should have done your homework to know what the job entails and then go there and tell them you are well equipped with the skills and experience you have garnered from past jobs you have done.

10. Why do you want to work here? “Why do you want to work here” is similar to “Why should I hire you”, but they are not the same. At this question of why you want to work here, you are simply to tell the panel of your admiration for the organisation. Point out some noble projects they do, some CSR projects, how they treat their staff with high regard and make working environment conducive and how their activities are helping to make life better for people and so on.

There you have ten of some of the hard interview questions that you may be asked during your next interview. Remember that the interview session is not primarily set up to look for ways to disqualify you, but for you to proof to the interviewer that you are qualified. I wish you all the best at your next interview.

We review Samsung’s Galaxy S6, its most exciting flagship phone in years, rocking an all-new design, updated fingerprint scanner, awesome camera tech and a lot more besides…

Samsung’s Galaxy S5 was a good phone, don’t get us wrong, but that didn’t keep it from being somewhat of a disappointment. The word ‘stale’ immediately springs to mind, from the dull plastic design to the Korean company’s insistence of shoehorning in every feature it could think up, whether it was actually useful or not.

But still we kept faith that Samsung would turn things around, especially after the brilliance of last year's Galaxy Note 4. And spoiler alert: the Galaxy S6 is its best flagship for yonks, stretching achingly close to perfect.


Design

Samsung has ripped apart the Galaxy S5 and pretty much started from scratch for the Galaxy S6, something we’re certainly not upset about. The weird crinkle-cut edging did nothing for the S5’s aesthetics and the plastic frame simply looked cheap in comparison with the all-metal HTC One M8 and the sexy glass Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z3.

And perhaps Samsung has taken inspiration from Sony’s latest flagship, as the Galaxy S6 shares a lot of common design decisions with the Xperia Z3. Its corners show off more curve and the camera juts out of the back, but you get the same silver trim around the edging and an all-glass rear, coming in a number of subtle shades.



However, while the Xperia Z3’s glossy surfaces scuff up a little with day-to-day use, the Galaxy S6 is a fingerprint demon. Just half a minute of handling is enough to turn a spotless S6 into a plague of smudges and greasy prints, which really detracts from the otherwise sexy design. In some light you won’t really notice the smudging, but I’d recommend carrying a cloth if you want to show off your expensive new gadget to your mates.

Scuffs aside, the Galaxy S6 is a definite improvement over prior Galaxies. It’s more or less the same size as the LG G3 (despite rocking a smaller screen) and sits comfortably enough in your palm. You’d need a massive mutant thumb to use it one-handed all of the time, but the same can be said of pretty much every phone these days. It’s also pleasingly light without feeling cheap.



Those sleek silver edges are gorgeous, complete with ultra-curvy corners. You’ll spot that the right edge now holds a SIM card drawer, which you pop out with a pin; that’s because the back no longer snaps off, like it did on the Galaxy S5. You’ll also notice that the USB port is no longer covered with a flappy thing and that’s because the Galaxy S6 sadly isn’t water resistant, unlike Sony’s Xperia Z3. It’s no biggie, but worth bearing in mind if you can’t even leave your phone alone while you jump in the bath.

Interface and features

Samsung’s latest version of TouchWiz doesn’t look or feel drastically different from earlier versions, with the same bright, bold desktops on offer. Flick right and you’ll uncover the Flipboard page, which thankfully now can be removed if you use an alternative news source. And jump into the notifications bar and you’ll see the standard shortcuts for activating/deactivating the likes of NFC and Wi-Fi.



However, this new iteration is also pleasingly clean, with desktops that aren’t cluttered with pointless Samsung widgets. You won’t be bombarded with non-stop features you’ll never use, but there’s still plenty of gesture controls and other under-the-surface tools that you can activate in the settings, if you wish. And once again you can multi-task by split-screening apps, which seems to work well with only the occasional little stutter.

Samsung’s well known for its solid mobile security and the S6 not only continues this trend but boosts it with a brand new fingerprint scanner. The scanner is one of the best upgrades over the old phones, as it’s now a lot more accurate and therefore a lot less frustrating. You no longer have to swipe your digit; just press your print against the narrow home button, like with Apple’s Touch ID sensor.



The difference is immediately obvious. Even after unlocking the Galaxy S6 dozens of times, clutching the phone in all manner of weird ways and stabbing down my thumb from all kinds of angles, I only saw it stumble a couple of times. And that’s only because I was really trying to get it to fail.

The scanner can once again be used to unlock the phone, as well as pay for stuff via PayPal without entering a password. And soon it will hopefully be used for Samsung’ Pay, to authorise real-life transactions - but don’t hold your breath as it’ll likely be a while coming to the UK.

Samsung has also added in a rather strange 'Emergency Mode', which appears to be a power-saving feature designed for elderly users or anyone stranded in the jungle. You have a torch and a rather obnoxious emergency alarm, as well as emergency contact methods that quickly share your location (as well as Facebook, so you can post an 'oh god I'm lost in the Amazon and there are cannibals munching on my bits' selfie).

However, I'm not really sure why elderly users or anyone trekking through harsh climates would rock the Galaxy S6 instead of a rugged handset, while the Ultra Power Saving Mode does a similar job of stretching out battery life.



Also worth a mention is the ever-present S Voice, which for the most part is a lump compared with Google Now but at least allows you to wake the phone with a personalised voice command - providing you don't have any security set up. You can then order the phone to call contacts, handy if you're in the car with a hands-free kit and don't want to take your eyes off the road.

Screen and media

Another big upgrade over the S5 is the new Quad HD Super AMOLED screen. It’s the same size as last year’s model at 5.1-inches, which is perfectly spacious for enjoying a movie on the move, but the resolution has been bumped right up to 1440x2560 (giving an almighty 577 pixels-per-inch, which even knocks the LG G3 on its arse).

As a result, you obviously can’t spot any individual pixels with the naked eye and images are supremely crisp and realistic. Combine that sharpness with the panel’s pleasing vibrancy and incredibly wide viewing angles and you have one of the best mobile displays we’ve ever seen, period.



Just as impressive is the powerful solo speaker, mounted at the bottom of the phone. Audio quality is as strong as it gets on a mobile, whether you’re playing an adrenaline-fuelled game or just enjoying some YouTube action, and there’s more than enough power to annoy every last person in a decent-sized train carriage.

Of course, there is only one speaker and it’s side-mounted when holding the phone in landscape, so not only do you miss out on glorious at-your-face audio (something HTC’s BoomSound speakers have nailed), but it’s also easy to accidentally muffle the thing with your fingers when shifting your grip.



Samsung has stripped the memory card slot from the Galaxy S6, making this one of the only flagships that doesn’t have expandable storage. Instead, if you want to carry a massive media collection around with you, you’ll have to fork out for a more expensive model with more built-in storage. At least the Galaxy S6 goes up to 128GB like Apple’s iPhone 6, which is more than enough for a fortnight’s worth of movies, music and games.

Performance and battery life

The Galaxy S6 rocks Samsung’s own Exynos chipset, an octa-core processor comprised of two quad-core chips running at 1.5GHz and 2.1GHz. For everyday use, this provides solid all-round performance. I saw only the occasional tiny judder when multi-tasking with apps, while the latest games ran perfectly and HD movies streamed without stutter. The phone also admirably handles some intense camera use, including 4k and Full HD 60fps video recording.

A quick go on Antutu showed that the S6 ranks above every other known handset right now, including the Galaxy Note 4.



The Galaxy S6 (and the Edge) does get a little toasty at times, if you’re doing a lot of downloading or shooting video. However, it never reaches alarming or uncomfortable levels and I never saw any adverse effects like the phone shutting down or spurting errors.

Battery life is actually pretty good too, considering that bright, super-crisp power-sucking screen. If you mess around shooting high-def video and generally thrashing the Galaxy S6, it won’t last anywhere near a full day. However, if you’re more conservative and limit yourself to occasional web browsing, email checks and piddling around with apps, you should easily make it to bed before the S6 dies.

And even if you do decide to stream video non-stop, you’ll still manage a solid seven hours of entertainment before the battery runs dry. That’s well above average for a flagship phone.



The good news is, even if your Galaxy S6 dies before the end of the day, the new Quick Charging ability means you can have it back on its feet in just a few minutes. Samsung reckons that ten minutes of fast charge will get you four hours of use, and in our tests the Galaxy S6 charged to around 16% in those ten minutes, which is at least enough to get you to work. With the phone turned on and updating/chugging away in the background, it'll still fully charge from the mains in around an hour and a half, which is perfectly good.

Samsung has also added built-in wireless charging support, if you’d rather slap your phone down on a slab to power it up instead of plugging in a cable. If you choose to wirelessly charge, you’ll find your Galaxy S6 charges a lot slower, but at least it doesn’t have to be positioned in a super-precise manner for the battery to start sucking up juice.



Cameras

Samsung has nailed the camera tech on the Galaxy S6, which on full auto mode can capture everyday life without stress.

For a start, you can quickly call up the camera even when the phone is hibernating with a quick double-tap of the home button, to avoid missing any hilarious spontaneous shindiggery - although you’ll need to unlock the phone to change the camera settings and so on. The camera interface is a little cluttered, especially after slick, clean efforts like the LG G3’s, but anyone who likes fiddling with manual controls will enjoy.

I found that the Galaxy S6’s lens focused in double-quick time on anything I aimed it at and took photos almost the instant I tapped the shutter button, recovering quickly enough to take dozens of shots in just a couple of seconds with multiple taps (or you can also hold down the shutter button for some burst shot action).


Previous ImageNext Image













The 16 megapixels are put to good use, packing tons of details into every shot. Up-close macro shots are especially gorgeous, especially with a tasty bit of boche. And the new f/1.9 aperture lens makes low-light photography much easier than with the Galaxy S5, so you won’t need to make use of the LED flash unless you’re in a pitch black nightclub. It’s even better at picking up detail in a dark room than the iPhone 6 and LG G3.

Swap to the 5-megapixel front-facing snapper and you’ll be able to take some beautifully sharp selfie shots. The selfie lens actually packs HDR and a low-light aperture just like the rear-facing camera, so you can snap yourself and your buddies in a basement bar and you’ll look only a little grainy. There’s even a ‘wide selfie’ mode, which does a good job of stitching together a number of shots taken in quick succession, to get your whole crew involved.

You can shoot video in Full HD at either 30 or 60 frames per second, or crank things up to 2k or 4k for super high-def shenanigans. Video is crisp and incredibly smooth on the 60fps mode, with the shutter adjusting well to changes in lighting and focus. There’s a five-minute time limit on the 2k and 4k video modes, to save your phone’s storage and prevent overheating, but I can’t see that ever being an actual problem.

Verdict

Samsung’s Galaxy S6 is its most desirable phone since the Galaxy SII, sporting an all-new look and feel and a ton of beautifully implemented features. If you want entertainment, the crisp and colourful screen is one of the best around. Mobile photographers will cream themselves at the awesome camera tech and business users have the usual tight security features, with the much-improved fingerprint scanner also appealing to everyday consumers.

In fact, aside from the smudgey glass surfaces and the lack of expandable storage, it’s hard to fault the Galaxy S6 at all. It’s almost the very definition of an all-round masterpiece.

Phishing scams get more sophisticated all the time. However, you can protect yourself from most of them with a few simple rules. I know that my readers are among the most sophisticated Internet users in the world; but, just in case, here they are:

1. Never answer emails that promise you millions of dollars from a deceased Nigerian prince who the sender claims is your long lost relative. 2.

Never click on an attachment in an email unless you know the sender, and you knew the attachment was coming. Watch out, however, for spoofing, which will make the email look like it is from someone you know. Right click on the address and see what comes up.

3. Never give out your personal information to a site clicked through an email.

4. Use Chrome or another browser that has spam filters built in. Check the spam for legitimate email that may have been flagged; but, if Google puts it in the spam folder, you shouldn't be clicking on it. Don't sleep with the phishes. Stay on shore. Be careful out there.

Provided you are connected to the internet, and the other person has the new version of the app installed, you can call your loves ones and friends for free via WhatsApp. The Facebook-owned instant messaging app has added free voice calling feature to WhatsApp for Android. Talk as long as you want. All you have to do is Go download the latest version of WhatsApp for Android 2.11.528 from Google Playstore or version 2.11.531 from the company's website.

While you are smiling right now that you can finally make phone calls for free from your Android smartphone, your mobile operators-- +MTN NIGERIA +Glo World +Airtel Nigeria and +Etisalat Nigeria are probably not happy at this development. And may even think of new ways to increment the amount you pay for internet subscription for daily, weekly and monthly. WhatsApp seems to be causing problems for them. Who cares? As long as we are happy.

So happy!

I quite agree with you. But we should stop buying things like this.

If you're going to spend big on headphones, at least consider Bose, they're the best in the business.

If you look at Dre Beats headphones, you would think they cost hundreds of dollars to make ---but it is the other way round. In fact, the cost of producing a pair of Beats by Dre Headphone is not even up to the tip you gave the barman. Dre Beats headphones cost only $14 to make. Yes, you read that right(? should be around N2758). Well that is according to people(experts) in the headphone industry.

You may start raining curses on the company for pricing the headphone sky-high. The cheapest Beats headphone in the market cost around $100 and the most expensive ones go for $700. That goes to show the power of marketing. But, seriously they are ripping us off!

Apple Inc. acquired by Beats Music and Beats Electronics for $2.6 billion, and the company founders---Dre and Lovine---joined the Curpertino, California-based firm. Beats is the number one in the headphone industry, controlling at least 57 percent of the market.

The Range Rover Evoque Convertible is set to enter production with similar looks to the 2012 concept car

Land Rover is all-set to add a convertible to the Range Rover Evoque range.

The company is expected to confirm that the Range Rover Evoque Convertible will join the award-winning SUV range later this year, three years after a concept version was shown off at the Geneva Motor Show in 2012.

While the concept which debuted at the Swiss show looked almost production ready, it had a clip-on fabric roof. Now our latest spy shots reveal that the car receives an electric fabric roof but the car’s styling remains unchanged from the motor show car.

The expected confirmation will finally mark an end to three years of debates within the firm about the car’s business case rather than engineering reasons, according to company insiders. Strong demand is expected, particularly from the USA, while a production version could get its airing by the middle of this year, possibly appearing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex at the end of June.
