Nairaland / General / Having Difficulty With Windows 10 Operating System: Here Is A Solution For You by Oviej: 6:12am On Oct 05, 2016
HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH WINDOWS 10 OPERATING SYSTEM: HERE IS A SOLUTION FOR YOU
With Microsoft saying that 110 million PCs run Windows 10, you’ve no doubt encountered a problem or two or three, either with your upgrades or with those of your colleagues, family, or friends. Of course, we’ll never see statistics on the number of folks who were coerced into installing Windows 10, which happens when Windows Update won’t work because it’s frozen on the Win10 payload. We’ll never know the number of systems that were upgraded and rolled back. But even if a tiny percentage of those 100 million machines hit hiccups, the total number of problems is enormous.
I’ve bumped into many different problems, and I bet you have, too.
The prime directive: If you’re prompted for a product key but don’t have one, don’t sweat it

Assuming you’re upgrading from a “genuine” Windows 7 or 8.1 machine, if you’re prompted for a Win10 key, click Skip, Do This Later, or Next (depending on the dialog box). Don’t bother trying to find a Windows 10 key. Chances are very good that Windows will recognize the error of its ways and not bother you again, although it may take a couple of days for the activation routine to figure it out. If you get repeated prompts, give us a call +2347030453303, dkingtechnologytrend@gmail.com http://dkingtechnologytrend..com.ng/
Nairaland / General / How To Fix Your Laptop By Yourself Without Stress by Oviej: 8:28pm On Oct 03, 2016
HOW TO FIX YOUR LAPTOP BY YOURSELF WITHOUT STRESS
The first step in repairing any laptop or notebook is troubleshooting the problem accurately. For example, some people will run out and buy a new battery on the assumption it's failed when the problem is a frayed wire or a bad connector on the power cord, something that can be fixed with a little solder or electric tape. Likewise, a "dead" LCD screen could be a mainboard or video adapter failure, a bad inverter or a burnt out backlight. When the LCD itself needs replacing, it will probably be due to a physical crack in the glass or blocks of dead pixels. If your CD or DVD drive won't work anymore, make sure you've tried a selection of discs and try a cleaner kit before replacing the drive, and always double-check the connection before discarding the old drive. About the only problems that will identify themselves as imminent failures are increasingly loud hard drives or steadily decreasing battery life over time. ...... more ... http://dkingtechnologytrend..com.ng/
Nairaland / General / Is Microsoft Losing It With Smart Phones by Oviej: 12:34pm On Sep 12, 2016
Microsoft to Discontinue Lumia Phones This December: Report
There was a time when Microsoft couldn't stop talking about the innovation it was trying to bring to the smartphone market with its Lumia devices. The company believed that the line-up, tagged with its mobile platform, could compete with the likes of Apple and Google. However, things seem to have not gone according to the company's plans. Latest reports now suggest that the company might discontinue its "Lumia" brand by the end of this year.
According to a report by WinBeta, which quotes a company insider, Microsoft might bring an end to its Lumia brand of devices in December this year. Anyone who has been keeping the track of the company will not find this piece of news to be very shocking, as Microsoft has been struggling in the smartphone space, and even gave a permanent price cut to its Lumia smartphones Lumia 650 and Lumia 950 last month.
Currently there are four smartphones in Microsoft's Lumia line-up - Lumia 550, Lumia 650, Lumia 950, and Lumia 950 XL. As per the report, the company might discontinue the brand but will keep selling the devices till the existing stock lasts.



The declining sales and the constant rumours about a Surface phone have indicated in past that the company might be considering ending the Lumia line-up soon. Back in February, when the company unveiled its Lumia 650, the smartphone was being rumoured as the last Lumia device to be launched by the company, and we have not seen a Lumia phone since.
As per the rumours, the Surface Phone is expected to pack Snapdragon 830 and come with 8GB of RAM. The smartphone is expected to be launched in 2017.

Nairaland / General / Leappad Inventor Wants To Turn Your Eyes Into A Mouse by Oviej: 6:37am On Sep 12, 2016
LeapPad Inventor Wants to Turn Your Eyes Into a Mouse
First came the computer mouse. Then the touchscreen. Now the tech industry is looking for a new human-machine interface-this time, one that will make virtual-reality headsets as mainstream as personal computers and smartphones.

The man who invented the LeapPad tablet for kids is betting the killer app is right in front of your face: the eyes.

Jim Marggraff's startup, Eyefluence, has developed technology that knows where people are looking and lets them manipulate objects the way we do now by clicking a mouse or tapping an icon. Besides fostering a more natural and immersive experience, the system is designed to help alleviate the nausea experienced by some VR users and enhance security with iris scans.

Marggraff says most of the big headset makers have expressed interest in licensing the technology from his Milpitas, California, company. Motorola Solutions, a leading investor, is testing the technology for emergency responders and sees possibilities in mining and medicine. "You're able to basically interact in the virtual world simply by looking at what you want to interact with," says X Prize Foundation founder Peter Diamandis, who advises Eyefluence and has seen the technology.

Most VR headsets use some sort of handheld device (like a game controller) or head movements to navigate. These techniques are far from ideal because they require a lot of moving around that gets tiring, and industry heavyweights including Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg agree that some form of eye-based technology is key to improving and popularizing VR technology. Gaming enthusiasts also say eye-tracking would significantly improve the playing experience by making it easier to follow objects and interact with characters.




Already, a host of companies with names like SensoMotoric Instruments, Tobii and The Eye Tribe are working on eye-tracking devices that could plug into a range of headsets. Another company called Fove says it will soon have the first headset featuring a version of the technology. But most of these are limited to scanning the iris for security purposes and recognizing where the user is looking-pointing but not clicking.

Eyefluence takes it one step further, not only using the eyes as a cursor, but letting them select, zoom, pan-things now accomplished by clicking and double-clicking a mouse or tapping and pinching a touchscreen.

The eyes are the fastest moving organ, capable of shifting 900 degrees per second, which means Eyefluence's interface software makes it much faster to tell the computer what to do. The technology makes a two- or even three-step thought process into one: say, from look at object, move hand to it and tap or click to simply look. "It almost feels magical, like the system knows what you want before you tell it," Diamandis says. "It's almost like it's reading your mind."

When Marggraff announced plans to turn the human eye into a computer mouse, skeptics said it couldn't be done. "People told me, 'Don't bother: you consume information with your eyes, but if you try to simultaneously use your eyes to control things, there will be a collision between controlling and directing and consuming," he recalls.

But Marggraff has a deserved reputation for knowing a good idea when he sees one. He came up with the LeapPad even before the iPod existed. Released in 1999, the device helped kids learn how to read, was for a time the most popular toy in the US and generated more than $1 billion (roughly Rs. 6,717 crores) in revenue within five years.

Marggraff, 58, also created the Livescribe, one of the better-known smart pens that record audio and sync it to written notes. Eyefluence co-founder Dave Stiehr, 57, helped build several medical-device companies, including one that sold automatic external defibrillators-gadgets that diagnose and correct uneven heartbeats and are now standard equipment in many movie theaters, airplanes and offices.

In 2012, Marggraff bought all the assets of Eye-Com, a research company led by neurologist William Torch and funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Defense. Torch researched everything from fatigue to blinking and had accumulated more than a decade's worth of data on eyes as well as built technology to track and analyze the organ. Marggraff and his team used that foundation to create an interactive system that uses looks to direct a computer.

It's not as easy as it sounds. Eyefluence's team had to design a way that feels natural for the eyes to communicate a person's intentions to the machine. Looking at an object for a set amount of time to "click" it, for instance, wouldn't work: it's too taxing on the eyes, and it would take too much active thinking to remember to stare for a certain amount of time or not stare for too long for fear of accidentally selecting it. A successful eye-interaction method would have to be just as intuitive as moving a mouse or tapping an app.

In the end, Marggraff solved the problem by embracing aspects of how the human eye works that he'd originally seen as a limitation. Even though it feels like our eyes are providing a constant stream of visual information, there are actually interruptions to the feed when we move our eyes to look at or examine something else.

In those moments, we are essentially blind and the brain fills in the missing images. Using these kinds of movements as a foundation, Eyefluence built an eye-machine interface that acts on intentional looks and ignores incidental ones. The company declined to explain further how the software works, citing concerns about maintaining a competitive edge.

Eyefluence is currently hammering out licensing deals with various headset makers to include its hardware and software in their devices, though the company declined to discuss specifics, citing non-disclosure agreements. Marggraff did say that the company is working with the "major players" and has been "overloaded with the strong amount of business partnerships and interest."

Motorola Solutions, which led Eyefluence's most recent fundraising round of $14 million, has been trying out the technology for more practical applications. The company, which sells equipment to first responders and other public safety and government agencies, sees Eyefluence as essential to providing police and firefighters with information via headset in a hands-free way that won't interfere with their jobs.

"The more stress you're under, the less cognitive ability you have to devote to menial tasks, so when you need the tech the most, that's when you have the least capacity you have to extract what you need," says Chief Technology Officer Paul Steinberg. "By using the very simple and quick interactions, we can lessen cognitive requirements to use the technology."

Steinberg also foresees using Eyefluence's technology in headsets for industries such as mining where drones will probably become ubiquitous. To test the eye-tracking and interface, Motorola Solutions has built and tested a virtual command center for emergency responders using Facebook's Oculus Rift headset, where users can see camera feeds from field operatives and control what they're looking at and zoom in and out using their eyes. The next iteration could use Eyefluence technology to develop gaze-matching, where a person in the command center will be able to not only follow where the field operatives are looking, but direct them to check out other things.

Politics / Jonathan Has Performed More Than You And Others, Presidency Tells Obasanjo by Oviej: 2:06pm On Aug 07, 2016
FOR scoring the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan below average, the Presidency Sunday took a swipe at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying his comments at an event, weekend, where he rated Jonathan’s performance “below average” were not only untrue, but also misleading. In a statement, last night in Abuja by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, the Presidency said former President Obasanjo’s comments do not in any way tally with the facts on ground, boasting that President Jonathan had performed more than Obasanjo and other presidents in Nigeria’s history.

Science/Technology / The Death Of Yahoo by Oviej: 8:14pm On Jul 30, 2016
Yahoo was the first website I ever visited. My Dad took me and my brother to an internet cafe in central London, and there it was - an exciting portal to the world wide web. Without it we'd have been completely lost.
That hand-holding portal was at one point worth a staggering $125bn. Today, it was sold for $4.83bn (£3.7bn) to US mobile network Verizon.

Foreign Affairs / What Obamas Health Care Is Really About by Oviej: 6:29am On Oct 31, 2013
Against the widespread wishes of the American people, Democrats passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ObamaCare"wink of PPAC into law in 2010 promising, among other things, to "correct the deficiencies" of medical care. Yet the ironically titled law, in its 2,800 pages of federal intervention into the economy, is failing to "protect" anyone as health insurance becomes even less "affordable."

Even worse, ObamaCare is restraining an economic recovery and destroying jobs by burdening entrepreneurs and employers with tax increases and costly regulations. Congress can help end the economic uncertainty by keeping our Pledge to America and repealing this disastrous law. This month was a milestone for PPAC as the health insurance exchanges opened to memorialize the legacy of Obama as his experimental economic policies continue to plague our growth.

As the law became a reality on October 1, 2013, over 50% of all Americans do not understand how this new law is structured and even more of them do not understand the economic ramifications. This became evident when I overheard a conversation between two employees in my office this past week. Both of them in the late 20's, the very demographic that proponents of the plan are expecting to enroll in droves, the young and healthy millennials.

As the conversation between these two people developed, through the door outside my office, I overheard several conversations about the health care bill. One of these people was anticipating the arrival of a nationwide insurance exchange coming online in a few days to get his "free health care plan" we will call him Keith. The other, we will call him Scott, proceeded to explain to Keith that there was nothing free in ObamaCare. I was astonished at the exchange between these two bright and educated people. This is a classic case of a low-information consumer vs. a highly informed person. Keith, apparently, has not recently had health insurance coverage and was under the impression he was going to get a limitless benefit from the federal government. Scott, to the contrary, explained that this was the biggest political Ponzi-scheme on the planet and that Keith was going to have to pay for his coverage. In reality, Keith was hugely disappointed, no different from the millions who recently discovered that no one is getting free health insurance.

Health / Tips On Spotting The Signs Of Gum Disease by Oviej: 3:44am On Sep 11, 2013
Gum disease is one of the leading dental problems worldwide, however it is avoidable in many circumstances if a good dental routine is followed and a dental healthy diet is observed. Although gum disease can lead to tooth loss in some severe cases, the effects of these disease can be reversed if it is spotted early enough. Here are some tips to help you to identify the signs of this disease:

1. Swollen Gums
Swollen gums can be painful to touch but if the initial swelling is less severe, then you may only notice visual symbols. If your gums look swollen, puffy or redder than usual, then this may be a sign that they are not as healthy as they should be. If you notice minor swelling of the gums at any time, mention it to your dentist at your next dental appointment, so that they can offer you help and advice. If you experience any other unusual occurrences in your mouth, then you should mention this to your dentist as well.

2. Bleeding Gums
Gums which bleed when pressure is applied are displaying one of the main symptoms of the early stages of gum disease. Healthy gums should not bleed when you brush your teeth or when they are lightly touched, so if you notice a reddish tinge or a metallic taste when you spit out your toothpaste as part of your normal dental hygiene routine, then you may be experiencing bleeding gums. You may need to inspect your mouth for further evidence of whether your gums are bleed if the toothpaste is only lightly tinged.

3. Bad Breath
Bad breath is caused by bacteria in the mouth, and the onset of gum disease can cause an increase in the number of bacteria in the mouth. Developing bad breath can be a sign that the number of bacteria in your mouth has increased and that your gums are not as healthy as they should be. Bad breath may be significantly worse in the morning.

4. Gaps appearing between your teeth
Gum disease can cause your gums to recede (draw back) over your teeth. As the gums begin to cover less of your teeth, and hold your teeth less firmly in place, you will notice that gaps become visible between your teeth. If you notice that gaps have begun to appear, it is important to adapt your dental routine to ensure that food cannot become trapped in these gaps, because this can help to exacerbate the problem. Carefully flossing using dental floss can help to remove food which is trapped between teeth, and will help to keep your gums healthy.

5. Loose teeth
As the gums recede, they stop holding the teeth as firmly in place as they once did, and the teeth may begin to wobble when touched. If your teeth have begun to wobble, then it is likely that your gum disease has already reached a fairly advanced stage, and you should contact your dentist immediately for advice.
If you are experiencing any of the signs of gum disease, contact your dentist to discuss gum disease and how to treat it. You can get more

Health / 5 Foods That'll Flatten Your Stomach (no Exercise Required) by Oviej: 9:58pm On Sep 10, 2013
[Zip up those skinny jeans with ease.] Zip up those skinny jeans with ease.It's finally September, which means it is time to get excited to pull out our autumn scarves and slip back into our skinny jeans. But just when you thought you were safe ("Phew! The pressure of bikini season is over!"wink, there is a chance that as you tried to zip up your jeans, you came in contact with an uncomfortable obstacle-bloating.
We've all experienced it-that sensation of fullness and swelling in the abdomen. This feeling is not only physically uncomfortable but also may affect our mood and self-esteem. So why does it happen and how can we stop it?

MORE: Sleep More to Fit Into Your Jeans
We all will experience bloating from time to time. Often caused by natural processes during digestion, bloating is typically triggered by the accumulation of fluid or production of gas in the body. However, bloating is not always caused by too much gas, but rather, how the body handles that gas.
Now for the good news: The occasional puff up can be reduced through some wise food choices and lifestyle changes. To ward off the inflation, try these bloat-blocking foods to feel like yourself again.www.oviejhealth..com
Rice (fully digested carbohydrates): Some foods, especially certain carbohydrates, are either indigestible or only partially digested in the gut. These foods can cause gas buildup and therefore bloating. According to American College of Gastroenterology, rice and rice flour make a good substitute for starches such as wheat, oats, corn and potatoes. Rice is fully digested in the small intestines, giving it the least potential to form gases in the gut.
Banana (potassium): Bloating is not always gas-related. High sodium intake could be the culprit. Hiding in most of today's processed foods and restaurant items, sodium attracts and retains water in the body. Potassium on the other hand, can help counter sodium's role. Maintaining your overall potassium-sodium level is important for water balance. If your bloat is a result of yesterday's salty dinner, try adding sliced banana to your morning oatmeal for some balance

Health / Green Tea And Cancer by Oviej: 9:51am On Jul 11, 2013
[url]Some cancer research happening today involves the usage of green tea extract and its capability to prevent cancer and also treat cancer within patients who have recently been diagnosed with the illness.

During the last couple of years, scientists have discovered a good deal concerning the importance of a diet plan full of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are a really powerful tool for slowing down aging and avoiding disease. Fresh fruits as well as vegetables are full of anti-oxidants. Espresso is also a supply of anti-oxidants, although it is not as rich as green tea extract.

The procedure our bodies undergo to convert our own food to energy produces free radicals every day. These radicals can damage our own cells and genetic material. If we do not combat them, they can make us age faster, they can help the progress of blocked arteries as well as the make us weaker to the illnesses and problems of getting older.

Therefore , everybody needs a high degree of anti-oxidants included in our daily diet as are found in green tea. There are countless studies which have shown that green tea extract is a great cancer precautionary and can boost the effectiveness of malignancy remedies.

One particular important study is associated with skin malignancy. Based on the American Malignancy Society, skin malignancy is the most typical of all malignancies. Melanoma is considered the most deadly type of skin malignancy. While just 4% of skin malignancy cases are most cancers, it causes much more deaths than any other kind of pores and skin malignancy.

The amount of new situations of melanoma is increasing within the US- approximately 62, 500 Americans will be identified in 2006, regarding 8000 people may die from melanoma in the united states this season.
Since scientists are researching methods to prevent and deal with skin cancer, the outcomes involving green tea extract are encouraging. One particular research reported by the choice Medicine Review confirmed excellent results in pores and skin cancer prevention and therapy in mice with the aid of green tea extract both applied directly on the vagina and given by mouth.

In this study, rodents were exposed to seven different types of cancer causing carcinogens, all of these are proven to cause or give rise to skin malignancy. The mice had been divided into groups. A few of the groups had been treated with green tea extract. Others had been treated topically with green tea.[http://oviejhealth..com/] http://oviejhealth..com/
Health / Obesity ------- Does Is It Really Matter by Oviej: 12:04pm On May 31, 2013
Obesity has become such an important topic in health and self-improvement circles that it deserves its own "News and Views" column. Here is the February, 2006 issue.
**Book claims obesity "epidemic" is a big lie
In his new book, "Fat Politics: The Real Story Behind America's Obesity Epidemic", writer Eric Oliver claims that the ramped up concern over obesity in the last ten years has been driven by the weight loss industry.
According to Oliver his research led him to conclude that, "Based on the statistics most of the charges saying that obesity caused various diseases or that obesity caused thousands of deaths were simply not supported."
The writer does not dispute that the average American adult is between 8 and 12 pounds heavier today than in 1975. But he does dispute the significance of this weight gain to average health.
He claims that pharmaceutical companies and the diet industry have funded groups like the International Obesity Task Force whose objective has been to promote the dangers of obesity. According to Oliver, "nearly every prominent obesity 'expert' has been financed or supported in some way by the weight-loss industry."
One important outcome of this effort was the successful lowering of the obesity standard in 1998. As Oliver says, "Suddenly tens of millions of Americans became 'obese' even though they hadnt gained a pound."
Oliver's main contention is that "the scientific evidence is simply not there that most people who are either 'overweight' or 'obese' are in any danger directly from their weight."
This flies directly in the face of current orthodoxy on the impact of obesity on health. Those who warn us about obesity say it greatly increases the likelihood of conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and even some cancers.

Dating And Meet-up Zone / Can Attracting Women Be Learned? by Oviej: 3:44pm On May 01, 2013
I think a fundamental question faced by men in the pursuit of attracting women is: Can attracting women be learned? Is it a result of genetics of having been gifted with prominent cheekbones, lean muscularity or a sizable organ? Or perhaps having a prominent checkbook and the right surname? Is it about having a naturally outgoing personality, charisma, and sharp wit? Or perhaps possession of influence and personal power?

As complex as women are, there is no one answer to explain their preferences. As individuals, they, like we, are different with different genetics, different experiences, and therefore, different tastes. And its been said theres no accounting for taste. So, it may be true that to some women, height and good looks matter a lot. Some schools of thought say that women value financial security more. Others say that personality, masculinity, sense of humor, or any of a variety of different criteria matters most.

And so, the questions must of necessity be: Is it possible to attract women, and if so, can any man do it? And will it work with ANY woman specifically? The answer is yes, and no.

Yes, in the sense that it is possible to attract the kind of women that you like, and who would like you in return, but whom you need to actively attract to you. This requires you to learn the techniques for attracting women, and actively engaging in the pursuit. Sitting at home simply wont do; you have to go out and approach them. Attracting women involves the application of learned skills in a consistent and persistent fashion. Just like any skill, its all about practice and playing the probabilities. You simply have to keep approaching women. more www.inspirationcornners..com
