LordReed:Where can I find it? |
Please help me, I want to buy a smart watch and I love the design and the simplicity of Samsung Galaxy Gear (as in very slim not too thick) but unfortunately it doesn't work with none Samsung devices and I don't use Samsung phones because they're just too big for my liking.... Please if I should buy Samsung Galaxy Gear or Gear 2, can I use the watch without pairing it to any Samsung device? Or please suggest me a good slim Smart Watch that's affordable |

DEAD MERMAID a.k.a Mami Wata or mammy water SPOTTED AT A POPULAR BEACH IN BENIN REPUBLIC A Dead Mermaid was seen washed ashore on a popular beach in Republic of Benin, West Africa. The dead beast was spotted by some fun seekers who were at the beach for tourism. Vibenigeria.com tipster informed us about the incident and sent us some pictures of the wonderful creature. Though, Some people don’t believe in Mermaids and see it as an imaginary hoax or Photoshop. Im sure seeing this will change your thought and believe that Mermaid, the sea goddess is real see the mermaid’s photos below.

Denn:Maybe I don't know..... But believe me there thousands if not millions of people who read and watch Boko HARAM news as if their lives depends on it... Like one of my friend ACP and also AC.. His discussion whenever he comes to my place is Boko HARAM issues until one day I told him that am not interested in Boko HARAM or its news, he told is because my people are not among their hostages.... I tried everything I could to make him understand why I don't read their news but he all he could say is that I don't feel their pain.... Can you imagine that? So tell me how do you think people will ignore their activities? |
SLIDEwaxie: I'm sorry but u are not making sense here?Well bro... Thanks for your comment About the picture, I don't use to read Boko HARAM news before cos it irritates me.. So I don't know which picture is old or new or the real pictures of SHEKAU. But I started reading Boko HARAM news few weeks ago after some army troupes narrated their success in the last attack with the Boko HARAMs.. They told me that if the attack should continue the same way, that Boko HARAM will be a history by October. 3 to 4 days after, I read in a news that 5 Boko HARAM members surrendered, the next day again I read that more surrendered again, and after a week or so I read that there is a confusion among themselves... That some want to give up over the death of their leader killed by the army... I was happy that what those army people said is coming to pass But to my greatest dismay I saw that news yesterday been 2nd October and I was devastated... So I decided to share Though my prayers still remain let it not be true |
Denn: See the bigger picture, for everyone who shows delight In bh's seeming success, there is a drag backwards for the nation.Please where in my thread did I wrote that am delighted for Boko HARAM activities? Or is it now a crime to share news with fellow Nairalanders? Because I don't understand you at all.... What you should've have been asking yourself is... Which way Nigeria? Which news are we going to believe? Yesterday we heard that BOKO HARAM is gone but today it's a different story.... But here you're insulting me..... Whatever it is, it's just a matter of opinion so no offense bro ride on |

Denn: So what?Please how? |
Eight years after he returned N18 million forgotten in his car by passengers, Taxi Driver and father of six, Mr. IMEI Usuah, received the National honour as a Member of the Federal Republic, he was also given plots of land in Abuja. That one single act of honesty has changed his life and will no doubt inspire others to do same,reward or not. This day reproduced an exclusive interview they had with him back in 2012 which they titled “One Missing Hero at the National Honours Award’ This is for those who don’t know the full story. Read below A dry and dusty road, decrepit house, cracked walls that played host to lizards all day long and squashy doors, his house was not hard to locate inside the community. Inside the house, free flowing mosquitoes made unbearable sound. Yes, the living room had seen better days and the rubber chairs in the living room were also ancient, but inside the house seated a national hero not known to many across the country. On Monday, September 17, 2012, when President Goodluck Jonathan conferred national honours on deserving Nigerians, Mr. Imeh Usuah, an Abuja-based cab driver popularly known as Jaja was not recognised. But Mr. Usuah is only a forgotten national hero who should be recognised for his act of integrity. In November 2007 Usuah improved the image of Nigeria after returning the sum of N18 million left in his car to the owner in Abuja. “I was not nominated. I was not invited and I don’t even know those who are there,” With a sense of pride and fulfilment, he recounted what happened in November 2007 and how the bag containing the money was found and returned to the owner. “It was one morning by 5.30 AM, in November, 2007, when British Airways (BA), landed at the international wing of the airport in Abuja. As usual, I positioned myself from metres away from the arrival wing waiting for passengers to come out so that I can get my customers and take them where ever they want to go inside town. “In my waiting position I saw these two white men who came with the British airways. From distance I could observe that they were obviously tired from their look. They beckoned on me requesting for a drop at the Hilton Transcorp Hotel in Maitama area in Abuja. “I didn’t waste time as I immediately put some of their bags into the boot of my cab and the remaining ones neatly arranged on the back seat and underneath the seats, and off I headed for the destination. “I arrived at the hotel lounge within 45 minutes and dropped them with their luggage. I got paid N,4000 for my service and I zoomed off, but unknown to both of us there was a bag which contained this huge amount of money left behind tucked away underneath my seat.” “I decided to take the cab for washing as my usual practice after the days work, and while I was removing the foot mats in a bent down position, I saw this brown suite case tucked underneath the driver’s seat. Immediately I remembered the passengers I had carried for the day and I started thinking of who really among them could have forgotten the suitcase. Instinctively I knew it was one of the many bags belonging to those chaps I took to Transcorp Hilton. Even though I didn’t open the suitcase, I sensed at that hour that it must at least contain some valuable items. My immediate response was to inform our association chairman at that time, Mr. Alex Ekwueme Udom. I told him what happened and that I was returning the bag to the owners.” He continued: “By the time I met these guys, the owners of the bag at the hotel, they were standing at the hotel lobby confused, dejected and frustrated. They couldn’t even recognise me as the cab driver that brought them from the airport and shockingly they didn’t know the number of taxi. But, I could recognise them. “These people could not believe their eyes. Their confused state disappeared, and they were so happy that they went on their knees thanking me for returning the bag. They requested for my GSM numbers and in a twinkle of an eye, I disappeared from the scene,” he said. “I did it to let people know, especially the foreigners that Nigerians are good and great people. I can go hungry for days, for as long as my integrity remains, hunger will disappear by itself.” But, five years on, a man who showed foreigners that Nigerians are good and great people has been living a squalid life on a corner street in one of the satellite towns in Abuja, the capital city. The lesson of a good and great Nigeria for the citizens in a man that should be honoured for moral standard and projection of good image of a nation is hidden away from the people’s eyes. Although, Usuah is not a man after gratification, one thing he will however not forget in a hurry was the way his two bedroom apartment was demolished in Bassa village near the airport in April 2012 by the Department of Development control, an agency of Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA). True, it was that apartment that once gave this unsung hero happiness. “I am never a happy man seen all my life savings pulled down by the same people who failed to give us shelter,”

Last week, the Nigerian Army claimed the Boko HARAM leader’s impersonator was killed. Cameroon even claimed they were the ones who killed him, a claim subsequently debunked by the Nigerian Military. Photos and even a video was even released to buttress that fact .However, in yet another video made available to AFP today, Shekau was shown making a speech debunking reports of his death. According to AFP, he said .. “Here I am, alive. I will only die the day Allah takes my breath,” He also added that, that his group was “running our… Islamic caliphate” and administering sharia punishments.”

I guess you don't know how to utilize it potentials Tablet is the pure mobile version of PC (especially Android powered Tablet As a Student: (though smart phones can still do this things but with Tablet Big screen it's an advantage) 1. You can use it to read books more conveniently than the way you do with your Laptop or Desktop PC 2. Tablet Book readers tends to support more Ebook format and features compare to PC book readers e.g Moon+ Reader can read your ebooks of any format while you do the listening. Polaris Office can also read your word document while you do the listening (though I've not tried this on my PC but it's really handy on a Tab) 3. Tablet are more easier to carry around, maybe to surf the net, read books play music or watch videos than PC 5. Good Tablet Battery last longer than conventional laptops or Smartphone... Laptops last 4 to 6hrs (except MacBook and some ultra books which cost a fortune) 6. You can easily connect to the Internet with a Tablet than in PC 7. AND MANY MORE And as a working class........ You have more [/b] |
[b] A new iCloud tool allows second-hand iPhone buyers to check if an iPhone/iPad is Activation locked Ever since introducing the Where's My iPhone Activation Lock, Apple have, reportedly, succeeded in discouraging quite a few thieves from lifting iPhones and iPads and reselling them on the second-hand market. Basically, if one has their “Find My iPhone” function on on their device, any act that displays malicious intent – like an attempt to turn the function off, or wipe the phone altogether – will put the handset in a lockdown, until the real owner's iCloud username and password are input. This, of course, drops the resale value of the device and generally makes the sale process that much harder for thieves. Now, while this has reportedly slowed down the stealing, it hasn't gotten rid of the problem altogether – most thieves simply don't care – they will pick up any device, then sell it at a super-reduced price. Some will have no inhibitions announcing the device to be cloud-locked, while others will try to trick buyers, by claiming that the device is fully operational. Well, Apple has now created a tool for the second-hand buyer's peace of mind. It is located on the iCloud . com website (link in source) and allows one to do a quick check of an iPhone (or any other iDevice that is cloud-lockable) by just inputting the device's IMEI. Once the check-up is done, the site informs you whether the device is locked or unlocked, and provides a set of useful links – such as what to do when you received a locked phone from someone else, or what to do if you want to unlock a phone, before selling it / handing it away.

[size=14pt]Price and release date[/size] A Windows 10 Technical Preview version will be released for desktop and laptop computers tomorrow. The final version of Windows 10 will ship sometime after the Microsoft Build conference in the middle of 2015. This year's Build conference was held between April 2-4. As for the price, you know as much as we do! MS only mentioned they would like to give Windows 7 users an incentive to upgrade, which could be loosely interpreted as "free" or "reasonably priced" in the context of pricing. source:http://www.phonearena.com/news/Windows-10-brings-improved-desktop-experience-better-multi-tasking-and-other-good-stuff_id61226 |
[size=14pt]Device adaptability[/size] A new feature named Continuum lets Windows 10 automatically adapt itself to whatever device you happen to be using it in a given moment. Say you're running Windows 10 on a tablet with a paired keyboard. You are in desktop mode. When you remove the keyboard, you will get asked if you want to switch to Tablet mode. If you do, the app you're currently using will automatically expand itself to a full-screen view and the interface will switch to touch-centric tiles. But how will Windows 10 look on the smartphone? It is said that it will look just like the reworked touch-based UI in Windows 10. So Windows Phone users won't suddenly find themselves in murky desktop waters! [size=14pt]One for all, all for one[/size] Just in case it isn't clear - with Windows 10, Microsoft wants to deliver one application platform, one app store, one way to search, buy, and update apps across all your devices. It's a comprehensive platform built with Satya Nadella's "cloud-first" mantra in mind. To call this an ambitious undertaking would be an understatement - bringing a seamless, unified experience across a wide range of devices portable and static - but Microsoft has almost infinite resources to throw at it, and make it happen!
|
[size=14pt]Snap-snap snapping![/size] Microsoft showed how Windows 10 users will be ale to snap together at least four running apps, gluing them together in a view that will look spectacular on a large monitor. It should look great on a Surface tab as well, so don't fret over Microsoft being too PC-centric this time.
|
[size=14pt]Improved multi-tasking[/size] There's a new Task View that shows even bigger snapshots of the apps you currently have running, along with the new "virtual desktops" shown on the bottom. Task View, which is available by swiping from the left, or clicking a taskbar button, lets you switch between multiple desktops and apps alike. You will also find a Snap Assist feature that lets you snap together apps running in separate desktops. That, and Ctrl + V pasting in the Command Prompt are the subtlest, but no less important improvements in Windows 10 by far. Oh, and the Charms bar has been made larger, and with easier to touch buttons.
|
[size=14pt]Touch-based apps and "universal" apps will run on desktop[/size] Windows 8 apps made for touch control will be working in a regular keyboard + mouse environment, entirely in the desktop. These are called "Universal apps", and they are available next to "classic" apps reminiscent of Windows 7. Below is a touch-based app running in the desktop environment.. While we're yet to see how this will pan out in real life, the mere notion of not switching between Metro view and the Windows desktop brings comfort to our hearts.

Out of the literal blue, Microsoft announced the next version of Windows. It's Windows 10. That's right, MS just went ahead and skipped a number. While the reasons are a numeric mystery of their own, Windows 10 looks like good news at the moment! It's one operating system. One platform. One interface. One app store. For all personal computing and communications devices imaginable - from the tiniest wearables to the bulkiest of computers. So, what's up with Windows? In short, lots is up. Here are some of the upcoming innovations in brief, fresh off the Microsoft tribune! [size=14pt]The Start Menu returns with a vengeance[/size] Ever dreamed for a Start button on your smartphone? You will finally be able to have one! But more importantly, PC users will be getting it and rejoicing as Microsoft finally solved the UI duality that plagued Windows 8. The new old Start menu is a hybrid of Windows 7's Aero layout and Windows 8's Live tiles. This time around, you are getting the best of both, and with resizable tiles and customizations making the cut, the "Metro" experience will be, at the very worst, palatable. You get a "Me" tile, universal search (web & file system), pinning apps as tiles, and a no-frills option to turn off your device.

[b] It appears Microsoft is so proud of the work it's done on the new Windows, that it's willing to give it a bigger name "Windows 10", something that will reflect the new beginning of sorts. Of course, all the meaningful leaks we've seen about Windows 9 thus far remain valid, including the metrofied Start Menu and a refocus on the desktop environment. "Windows 10 will deliver the right experience on the right device at the right time," said Microsoft's Terry Myerson. "Windows 10 will run on the broadest types of devices ever." You can expect a unique user interface depending on what you're running Windows on; images shown at the event line up with leaks that have surfaced in recent weeks. It's basically a combination of Windows 7 and 8 that borrows design elements from each of Microsoft's two most recent operating systems. The new Windows 10 start menu. The "Metro" start screen and Microsoft's traditional Start Menu have been combined; no longer is the screen one huge grid of tiles for desktop users. "The tiles and icons that are shown are a blend of classic apps and new universal apps," Belfiore said. But Live Tiles are still here and can be resized to a user's preference. More than anything else, Microsoft is working to make everything feel way more cohesive. "In Windows 8 when users launched a modern app, it sort of had a different environment," Belfiore said. "We don't want that duality. We want users on PCs with mice and keyboards to have their familiar UI." There's a new universal search in the start menu that pulls in results from the web, and Microsoft is also talking up its "task view," which helps users master Windows' multitasking features. It looks fairly similar to Expose in OS X and allows users to set up different desktops for work, home, and other usage scenarios, switching apps between them at will. Up to four apps can now be snapped on screen, which also should ramp up Windows 10's multitasking power. Microsoft outright admitted this isn't entirely an earth-shattering addition. But it is intended to speed up your productivity across the entire operating system. "It illustrates for Windows we have to address a breadth of users," Belfiore said, moving on to show a big improvement to the command prompt: it now supports paste. Windows 10's Task View. But Microsoft isn't abandoning touch input. Belfiore said the Charms bar from Windows 8 has been carried over to Windows 10 with improvements of its own. "We want to support those Windows 8 users who have touch machines and getting a lot of benefit out of them." For convertible devices like the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Microsoft is adding a new Continuum mode that aims to make the frequent switch between tablet mode and laptop mode more seamless. "What you get is a device that operates with the simplicity of a tablet, but morphs itself back to the familiar PC experience," said Belfiore. Microsoft will launch a Windows 10 "Insider Program" beginning tomorrow, which will eventually afford its most enthusiastic users a chance to try out the new OS before the general public. Windows 10 will launch to consumers everywhere in late 2015. source: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/30/6868695/microsoft-windows-10-announced-official http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/30/microsoft-announces-windows-10/ http://www.cnet.com/news/microsoft-jumps-to-windows-10/ [/b]
