obailala:
Guys don't be decieved by all these pictures circulated by fraudsters. From reliable sources within the US presidency, I just got a clearer picture detailing

what was really happening in that scene. Obama was playing the latest special release version of Call of Duty: Black Ops II   which has a unique operation

where u hunt down al quaeda. Obama got so excited after completing the mission that he quickly announced to the world that Osama had been killed.

Hillary should have been warned!

Hope she was able to sleep sunday night

Justcash:
I like this. Watching the enemy being treated on TV. This is how I will sit and watch XYZstranger being lashed with a horsewhip by Mopol on TV, while Ileke idi will be watching like Hilary Clinton.

The mental picture of what u just described above is really hilarious, lol

See HILLARY! she cant even watch an execution, yet she was calling for the assasination of Gaddafi

President Obama was watching on a TV screen as a commando gunned down Osama Bin Laden. Via a video camera fixed to the helmet of a U.S. Navy Seal, the leader of the free world saw the terror chief shot in the left eye.

The Seal then carried out what is known in the military as a ‘double tap’ – shooting him again, probably in the chest, to make certain he was dead. The footage of the battle in Bin Laden’s Pakistani hideout – relayed to the White House by satellite – is said to show one of his wives acting as a human shield to protect him as he blasted away with an AK47 assault rifle.

She died, along with three other men, including one of Bin Laden’s sons. Within hours, the Al Qaeda leader’s body was buried at sea.

Intense: President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, alongside other Security staff, watch the mission unfold at the White House

Taking command: President Obama talks with members of the national security team in the White House situation room following the conclusion of the mission

Despite President Obama claiming the master terrorist’s death made the world a ‘safer, better place’, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency declared that terrorists would ‘almost certainly’ respond.

The warning came on a day when:

■ Relations between Pakistan and the West were under intense strain amid disbelief that intelligence chiefs in Islamabad had no idea Bin Laden was living in a compound only 800 yards from the country’s leading military academy.

■ U.S. officials sought to justify the torture of detainees at Guantanamo Bay by claiming it provided the crucial breakthrough in hunting down Bin Laden.

[size=13pt]■ It emerged that a terror operative captured in Pakistan in 2004 said Al Qaeda would detonate a nuclear bomb in the U.S. if Bin Laden were killed or captured.[/size]

David Cameron said Bin Laden’s death would be ‘welcomed right across our country’.

But security was stepped up as he warned: ‘It does not mark the end of the threat we face from extremist terrorism. Indeed, we will have to be particularly vigilant in the weeks ahead.’

Last night the Prime Minister chaired a meeting of the Government’s emergency planning committee Cobra to assess the implications for the UK. Security sources have been told of specific threats against targets in North Africa and Europe.

Officials in Britain fear a ‘lone wolf’ – currently off the security services’ radar – could be inspired to take revenge.

There is no specific intelligence pointing to any attack in response to Bin Laden’s death, but it is ‘common sense’ to be on guard, Whitehall officials say.

Possible targets include popular tourist and business locations including the Houses of Parliament, Canary Wharf and the London Eye, say security experts.

President Obama announced Bin Laden’s death in a televised statement shortly after 4am British time yesterday

He recalled the images from the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 which were ‘seared into our national memory’.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed – including 67 Britons – when four jets hijacked by Al Qaeda extremists crashed in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The attack left ‘a gaping hole in our hearts’, said the President.

Last night pictures were released of Mr Obama and his security team – including Hillary Clinton – watching the mission to kill Bin Laden in the White House’s Situation Room.

Describing the scene, President Obama’s counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan said: [size=13pt]‘It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods in the lives of the people who were assembled.

Carnage: Blood can be seen on the floor from where Osama was reportedly surrounded by three men, including his son, and a woman who formed a human shield against U.S. troops

‘The minutes passed like days and the President was very concerned about the security of our personnel.’

The President’s announcement sparked jubilant celebrations, with crowds gathering outside the White House and at Ground Zero where the Twin Towers had stood in New York.

[size=13pt]Former President George W Bush, who was in the White House when the attacks took place, described the news as a ‘momentous achievement’.[/size]

‘America has sent an unmistakable message: no matter how long it takes, justice will be done,’ he said.

But the euphoria was tempered by warnings that Bin Laden’s supporters would carry out a wave of reprisal attacks against Western targets, including the UK.

Bin Laden's lair: The compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was half a mile from a military academy. If it had been hit in an air strike there would likely have been civilian casualties

CIA director Leon Panetta said: ‘Though Bin Laden is dead, Al Qaeda is not. The terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge him, and we must – and will – remain vigilant and resolute.’

Foreign Secretary William Hague said: ‘This is a very serious blow to Al Qaeda but, like any organisation that has suffered a serious blow, they will want to show in some way that they are still able to operate.

‘We will still have to be even more vigilant in the coming days about the international terrorist threat.’

Some 50 people living in Britain are believed to have attended terror training camps in Afghanistan. One suggestion is that Al Qaeda supporters who are not known to the security services could be emboldened to strike.

Another possibility is that terror cells already plotting attacks in the UK could bring forward their plans.

It also emerged last night that the timing of the U.S. mission may have been triggered by Wikileaks.

Although the CIA has thought since September that Bin Laden was in Abbottabad, the attack on his fortress came only days after the website published fresh secret documents.

These made reference to named ‘couriers’ carrying Bin Laden’s message to his followers, and also to Abbottabad as a possible Al Qaeda bolthole.

America has already revealed that it was led to Bin Laden by tracking a man identified as his key courier. When that courier was found in Abbottabad, the CIA began surveillance that led to the raid.

Last night it was said the operation had to be launched before Bin Laden knew the game was up. The theory is based on a leaked U.S. Defence Department assessment of Guantanamo Bay prisoner Abu Faraj al-Libi, 40.

This information identifies al-Libi as a chief of Al Qaeda who fled to Pakistan in 2001. He lived in Abbottabad for a year before being caught in 2005. He was then handed to the U.S., who continue to detain him.

We've got him, said the President

This was the dramatic moment that President Obama and Hillary Clinton watched Osama Bin Laden being shot dead.

Photos released by the White House late last night show Mr Obama and his Secretary of State in similar poses, their hands clamped over their mouths.

Together with the President’s national security team they are watching a crew of Navy Seals storm the terror chief’s hideout in Pakistan.

His fist to his mouth, Mr Obama stares intently at the screen showing Bin Laden die, left, while Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, right, holds her hand to her mouth

While the men in the room, arms folded, remain largely expressionless as they stare at the live feed streamed from the helmet camera of a U.S. commando, it is the expression on Mrs Clinton’s face that clearly shows the tension that they all felt.

She was unable to hide the emotion of the moment for which they had waited more than a decade.

Mr Obama, with his eyes intently focused on the scene unfolding and with his fist clenched to his mouth, was said to be ‘stony faced’ through the transmission, even at the point when a voice came over the speakers stating: ‘We’ve ID’d Geronimo’ – a code name for Bin Laden.

After the terrorist was shot, Mr Obama was said to have turned to the room and said: ‘We got him.’

With the, mission accomplished, those present were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

With Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton as the tense operation unfolded were Vice President Joe Biden, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Defence Secretary Robert Gates, Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and White House Chief-of-Staff Bill Daly.

CIA Director Leon Panetta wasn’t in the photo but was at the White House at several points during the day.

The President was also seen on the phone talking to the heads of Allied countries, including British Prime Minister David Cameron.

@kobo
Its as if antispambot swallowed your post.
But honestly, u should know that there are some decisions u make that turns around and bite u in d a.s*s!
Do u really think, the Arab league, and the GCC would have offered their support if they know what they know now?
Remember dat the US and NATO had to strong arm UAE to join their coalition by supplying planes as d whole coalition was falling apart!
If u believe dat civilians are truly the goal here, then NATO planes should be taking out the tanks on the streets of Dera by now, cos genocide is being commited there!

If i were Gaddafi now, i will invite Russian and China, and handover a huge tranche of Libyan oil and industry to them, then sit back and watch the firestorm start!
Someone need to stand up to these bullies

So now NATO have resorted to bombing children to win the illegal war in Libya? A bunch of 'criminals' got guns and attacked the internationally recognised government and we call them 'rebels', can you imagine what would happen here if everyone in my town got shotguns and marched on parliament demanding the resignation of the 'royal' family (business) and the current government? The first thing you would see would be armed police and troops on the street and the 'rebels' from my town would be called criminals or terrorists and shot on sight! Nato isnt protecting civilians, no civilians were being attacked in this strike except the grandchildren that were killed. The pilot that dropped the bomb should be ashamed and the politicians that got us into this mess should be tried for war crimes. I hope Gaddafi wins. I'm disgusted by our actions. What about Bahrain, Yemen and Syria then NATO?

[size=13pt]Android. 2.3.4 Is Here![/size]

Google has officially announced Talk with Video Chat integration in Android 2.3.4.

The service looks like it will work almost identical to its desktop counterpart: the status icon displays whether or not the person is available for video chat (or capable of it). Tap the icon to start a video chat session, and you’re good to go. It’s cross platform, too, meaning that you can chat with desktop users and other mobile users alike. It supports 3G, 4G, and WiFi, so you will be able to chat it up from pretty much anywhere.

https://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Talk-videochat-buddylist_thumb.png https://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/talk_videochat_update_thumb.png

If the person you’re chatting with decides to type instead of speak, the text will overlay the video stream, so you can read it without navigating away from the chat session. If you do need to navigate away for some reason, though, it will pause the video feed, but the audio feed will continue, so you won’t miss a thing.

loo bring it on,  picking on my typo or listing device(s) only God can confirm (true or source);  with a forum like Nairaland if you can't add value, then just keep your views to yourself. Were you copied in the 1st place - eh i didn't think so.

Quite a lot of reader's love what "na2day" is doing - please don't try derailing the Section Topic, Thank U

twinskenny:
@shenny yu are picking on a wrong guy, Texas is cool guess he is trying to let u knw that u can Google
This thing within a few minutes instead of creating another web page. Me too I was new to my HTC desire but with toime i get used to it. The market is your best friend mate.

Yeah twinskenny is right, about texas being a cool guy, we might have sparred on occassions, as per android and ios, but i respect d guy a lot cos he knows his onion, why do u think people keeps coming to this thread? its cos of d variety of knowledge everyone is putting up.
As per d site, its goin to cost me a penny, so it'll be fun putting up, no harm done

texazzpete:
@na2day
Total waste of effort. That's really what this forum should cater for - responding to people questions.

Still, it's your time

I wouldnt have given it a second thought, but for d antispambot emasculating one here!

texazzpete:
Why?

Perhaps a group of programmers to share tips and info in making Android apps could make sense, but why a group for 'ideas' on how to use a device?
What do you mean by 'updates for Nigerian usage'?
Abeg if you cannot use your phone, revert back to Nokia phones ASAP.

Haba texazz, i'm sure the guy is a newbie
But a good advice nevertheless, one can cook up such a site for pros and newbies

shenny:
@na2day, @Double N, @otumfour, etc,

Loving the Android technology (software/hardware) but i still find it hard to differentiate between devices or products and what to look out for during a device upgrade,

The time is now to have a Nigerian Android Community, to share ideas and to take it a step further asking manfacturer's for updates for Nigerian usage, etc,  

Shenny i'm game if other will add their inputs
@Double N, otumfour and others, if u're interested holler and get me @ kunlerom@gmail.com
I'll put d site up within days!
Nice idea

On their earnings call today, Google revealed some impressive stats about Android, courtesy of Jeff Huber, Senior VP of Commerce and Local. There were three notable facts, in particular: there have been over 3 billion Android apps installed, downloads of Android apps are up 50% in the last quarter, and 350,000 Android devices are being activated per day. Whoa, whoa, and whoa.

Given that we’ve heard about the massive number of activations before, perhaps the most impressive numbers are those about apps. As TechCrunch so eloquently puts it: "The first billion installs took 20 months, the second billion installs took another 5 months, and the third billion took only 2 months." Given that downloads jumped a ridiculous 50% in the past three months, it the next 3 billion will likely happen in no time at all. Even more impressively, I’d guess those numbers are installs via the official market, and don’t factor in unofficial markets such as Amazon’s Appstore.

I've started saving for HTC EVO 3D
