| Phones / Facebook Has Secret Game Hidden On Its Website, And This Is How To Find It by NewsNewsBlog: 12:05am On Feb 06, 2016 |
FACEBOOK users can play against one another in the ultimate game of online chess by using this simple code in the Facebook Messenger window. Facebook has hidden a game tucked inside Facebook Messenger recently announced it has over 800 million users, but many of its avid fans probably don't know about a game secretly hidden inside. The classic game of chess can be played by sharing the simple message "@fbchess play" with any of your contacts. As soon the message is sent a basic chess board appears on the screen – although playing the brain-testing game isn't quite as simple as finding it. Gamers are able to play by typing in a specific Algebraic Notation – for example, @fbchess e4 or @fbchess Pe4 will move a pawn to e4 on the board. B is used for bishop, R moves the rook, Q for queen, K for king, and, because K is already used in King, the letter N moves your knight. It's pretty frustrating to begin with but learning the codes soon speeds things up. If you're finding things confusing full instructions on how to play can viewed by typing "@fbchess help" into the messaging app. CONTD. >>> http://newsnewsblog..com.ng/2016/02/facebook-has-secret-game-hidden-on-its.html#0 |
| Phones / Apple Is Locking People Out Of Their Iphones But It's For Their Own Good by NewsNewsBlog: 11:45pm On Feb 05, 2016 |
APPLE has been criticised for locking people out of their iPhones – but there's a very good reason why the US technology firm takes this issue so seriously. Apple has acknowledged "Error 53" – and explained why the feature exists Apple has been accused of locking iPhones that have been repaired by unofficial companies. According to the head of iFixit, the iPhone will lock itself when the Home Button – with its Touch ID fingerprint sensor – has been repaired or replaced by a team not authorised by Apple. Dubbed "Error 53", the feature deadlocks the iPhone 6 when the owner attempts to update the iOS their device. CEO of iFixit, Kyle Wiens told The Guardian that "Error 53" is causing a major problem for iPhone owners. Mr Wiens said thousands of angry iPhone owners have visited the "Error 53" help page on iFixIt's website. Apple explains why Error 53 might have occurred "The problem occurs if the repairer changes the home button or the cable." He said. "Following the software upgrade the phone checks to make sure it is still using the original components, and if it isn't, it simply locks out the phone. "There is no warning, and there’s no way that I know of to bring it back to life." CONTD... >>> http://newsnewsblog..com.ng/2016/02/apple-is-locking-people-out-of-their.html#0 |

He said: "This is happening now. The technologies are removing jobs, they are eliminating them. "In a decade or two you'll find that robots and artificial intelligence can do almost every job that human beings do. We are headed into a jobless future. "I know it sounds very scary, but that is the reality of technology." Vivek Wadhwa says humans should embrace the evolution of AI The academic said he "doesn't see how we are going to be able to retrain the vast majority of today's workers on the jobs of tomorrow, if they exist at all." But despite this grim prediction of a "jobless future," Mr Wadhwa insisted: "I'm optimistic. "We complain about 40 hour work weeks – who says we have to work 40 hour work weeks?

If you do one thing today, you might want to delete Facebook from your Android smartphone If you have the Facebook app installed on your smartphone, you might want to consider deleting it. The hugely-successful smartphone app has been hit with controversy this week after a number of reports showed the app drained battery life and slowed phones. Tests revealed that when Facebook is installed, Android smartphones can run up to 15 per cent slower. Facebook fans discussed the impact of the US social network's app on Reddit, with one user publishing a chart to show the drain caused by the Android app. The user's test involved launching 15 popular apps in succession. Each app loaded significantly faster when Facebook wasn't installed on the same smartphone. Reddit user pbrandes_eth was so shocked by the performance issues he uninstalled Facebook, posting: "So yeah, I think that settles it for me... I am joining the browser-app camp for now." "Messenger seems to be worse than FB," pbrandes_eth has claimed. "Both apps individually caused a slow-down of roughly 5% in the test."

FACEBOOK is bringing a slew of new emotions to its hugely-popular social network, thanks to a redesign to the iconic Like button, which is about to roll out worldwide. Facebook has confirmed it will be rolling out a new set of emojis – dubbed Reactions – to replace the traditional Like button. Reactions debuted as part of a small pilot program in Ireland and Spain, before trickling out to Chile, Portugal, the Philippines and Colombia, last year. But now the Californian social network is ready to roll-out the improved Like button to its 1.49 billion monthly active users. According to a report in Bloomberg, Facebook will begin pushing out Reactions to the UK and the rest of the globe "within weeks." Reactions appear as animated emoticons and pop-up whenever the Like button is long-pressed on Facebook mobile apps. Desktop users can hover their mouses over the Like button to bring up the new emojis. The new expressions will allow users to express a range of emotions including love, happiness, anger and sadness. Facebook hopes the inclusion of negative emotions will finally "address" the demand for a Dislike button on the Californian social network.

If you are a paying Netflix customer, you might have passed on your account details to a few close family members or friends.

REAL MADRID have three times tried to lure Lionel Messi away from Barcelona, according to reports. The 28-year-old superstar has been with Barca since he age of 13 and made his debut just three years later. And having become one of the world's greatest players, Spanish journalist Joseba Larranaga is claiming that Madrid approached Messi about a move for the first time in 2011. Speaking on national radio station Cope, Larranaga claims Madrid were worried that a massive bid from Manchester City would tempt Cristiano Ronaldo to leave. Through a third-party meeting, Madrid tabled the idea of Messi coming to the Bernabeu but they were quickly told that the Argentinian would not be moving. Two years later and Manchester United were this time the club unsettling the Madrid hierarchy with rumours of a fairytale return to England for Ronaldo. The Portuguese had added fuel to the fire by admitting he missed the Premier League and failing to sign a new contract over the summer of 2013.

HTC is hard at work on its next flagship smartphone, the HTC One M10. HTC is expected to unveil its next flagship smartphone – the HTC One M10 – at the Mobile World Congress technology show in Barcelona, next month. Little is known about the next-generation flagship, although serial leaker Evan Blass has just given us our first hint. "If you like the A9, you'll love the M10," Mr Blass tweeted. Admittedly, Mr Blass has a somewhat patchy record when it comes to HTC but his tweet could be the first real small clue to the direction the Taiwanese firm is taking for the M10. The HTC One A9 sparked controversy last year, with many mocking its industrial design and its similarities to the Apple iPhone 6. The One A9 sports a curved Gorilla Glass display that blends with the svelte, aluminium frame. HTC ditched the large, square camera module it used in the M8 and M9 in favour of a round iPhone-esque camera that protrudes from the case. The HTC smartphone also featured the same chamfered edges and circular volume holes which Apple debuted with its iPhone 5 design.
