PhonesBlackberry Motion Aka Krypton Leak Shows Full Touchscreen Phone by sainttobs(op): 1:58am On Oct 09, 2017
The smartphone, known under the code name Krypton now has a new “face” and trade name, BlackBerry Motion. This is a new mid-range smartphone manufactured by TCL, the Chinese company that took over the rights of the Canadian brand to be able to continue manufacturing mobile devices taking advantage of the pull that still has BlackBerry.
BlackBerry Motion Aka Krypton Leak Shows Full Touchscreen Phone

The smartphone which is known under the code name Krypton now already has a new “face” and trade name, BlackBerry Motion. This is a new mid-range smartphone manufactured by TCL, the Chinese company that took over the rights of the Canadian brand to be able to continue manufacturing mobile devices taking advantage of the pull that still has BlackBerry.

As we can see in the image the design is quite generic and simple. We find a metal frame that in theory would be combined with a carbon fiber backside and a traditional front with a very marked lower frame where you can see a start button that includes the BlackBerry logo.


The absence of the characteristic physical keyboard is the most striking of BlackBerry Motion. We know that it is not the first time that a device of the Canadian firm, BlackBerry without a physical keyboard, appears, but that does not change the fact that this is one of its great signs of identity and one of its greatest attractions.


At the spec level we do not yet have all the information, but this first leak talks to a screen with 1080p resolution, a Snapdragon 625 SoC, 4GB of RAM and a 4,000 mAh battery (fairly large by current standards).

The SoC Snapdragon 625 has an eight-core CPU Cortex-A53 low power to a maximum of 2GHz and an Adreno 506 GPU. Its operating system will be Android, but it is unknown which particular version will use this new device.

However, we do not know the price of sale and the exact date of availability, but the last BlackBerry devices have not been exactly good value for money so the precedents or patterns do not augur anything good.


So, what do you think about this new BlackBerry Motion smartphone? Simply share your views and thoughts in the comment section below.

OP, what are the prospects of travel blog in Nigeria and how do I go about it?

I'm thinking of starting one.

Thanks!
I think starting a travel blog in Nigeria is a very good idea. There aren't much popular travel blogs in Nigeria currently. Once you've gotten all the basic stuffs you need like domain, hosting, platform etc all you need is unique content. There are a lot of places in Nigeria you could write about and I would advice you to use more pictures than words.

Webmasters7 Ways To Improve Your Blogs Success by sainttobs(op): 4:14am On Oct 08, 2017
All bloggers have one thing in common: they want their blog to succeed. For most bloggers, success means converting loyal followers.
No matter when or why you started your blog, a few tweaks here and there to your blog and your attitude can change things for the better. Check out our list of seven tips to help you succeed as a blogger.


1. Find a Niche
This little bit of advice has been bouncing around the Internet since the dawn of the first successful blog. Still, a lot of newbie bloggers don’t take this advice to heart, partially because a lot of new bloggers aren’t sure what to blog about and partially because others don’t know what a niche is. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered.
Niche is defined as, “a specialized but profitable corner of the market.”
What we really mean when we say “find your niche” is to narrow your blog’s focus. Talking about anything and everything that comes to mind is great if you’re writing for yourself, but readers may find that chaotic and difficult to follow. What readers really want is a collection of related and helpful articles on the same topic to help solve a problem or question.
Examples of niches include:

Parenting
Technology
Finance
Beauty
DIY Home Décor
Fitness
Web Design
Entertainment

While it’s true that there are blogs on practically every niche, the key to really being successful and hitting your target audience is to narrow your topic even further. Find a hole in the market and focus on that. This will reduce your competition while making you a go-to expert in your niche.
For example, Blogging Basics 101 started because there were tons of sites with blogging advice for intermediate and advanced bloggers, but there wasn’t a lot of good advice for novice bloggers.
Another example would be if you wanted to start a travel blog. Instead of focusing on travel in general, you might narrow your focus to a single country or city. That way, you become the number one go-to blog for people looking to visit that area.

2. Don’t Be Afraid to Self-Promote
Promoting your own project on social media or within your group of friends is intimidating for a lot of people. You don’t want to sound like you are bragging, and you definitely don’t want to come across looking like spam.
If you want to succeed, however, you have to get the word out there, and who better to do that than you? It’s all part of the marketing process, and bloggers have to learn how to use social media and blog commenting functions to market themselves.
Sometimes tooting your own horn isn’t all that bad. The key is to find a balance between self-promotion and humility. Many bloggers and social media enthusiasts suggest using 80 percent of your social comments and shares to promote other people’s works and 20 percent of it promoting your own products and services.
Blog, Internet, Space, Universe, Globe
3. Build on What Works
Experimenting is all a part of the process, so don’t be afraid to try something new. Start a new weekly blogging series, try placing ads, or start guest posting.
Use your website statistics and commenting functions to see how readers react to these new ideas. If you’re not seeing any indication of a reaction in your stats, poll your readers to see what they think.
Testing one thing here or there isn’t likely to hurt your blogging practice. Some of these experiments can lead to a huge increase in traffic. The good news is that you can always ditch the ones that don’t work.

4. Perform an “Above the Fold” Test
Above the fold includes the content you see when you first view your blog. It’s anything that you see without scrolling.
Since you only have a few seconds to make a good first impression and help readers find what they’re looking for, you want the most important information above the fold. For instance, people should be able to tell who you are and what you do without scrolling. If it’s not evident in your blogs title, it’s worth adding a tagline. If you want to draw attention to your call-to-action, that should appear above the fold as well.

5. Make Your Blog Sticky
Sticky is a term that means you’re encouraging people to return to or stay on your blog. For example, you might link to a relevant article from your blog’s archives. You can do this within the content, or you can list additional resources at the end of each blog post. The idea is that these links point to your own content and offer readers more in-depth information on the topic or a related subject.
As you do this, people are more likely to stick around and subscribe to your blog. You can also make your blog sticky by inviting readers to subscribe to your blog or by making your RSS feed available with the click of a button.
6. Look for Ways to Extend Your Blog
To get people to stick around and keep coming back, it’s worth extending your reach outside of simple blog posts. This helps you reach more people who enjoy other forms of content and contact, and it keeps your blog from getting boring.
Examples of ways to extend your reach include:

Hanging around industry forums or social media
Sending out newsletters
Starting a podcast series
Releasing videos

7. Create Quality Content
People have been saying it for years, and the saying still holds true. Content is king.
Without well-written and engaging content, your blog isn’t going to go anywhere. Yes, your blog design and your marketing tactics are important, but they’re practically useless if you don’t have quality content. People may come because of the marketing, but they’ll stay when you deliver content they need.
Pro tip: Creating content users “need” can encompass anything from teaching them something to providing entertainment. While blogging about yourself can have its benefits, you should always be focusing on solving the readers’ problems first (whether they want a good laugh or are looking for advice). Satisfying their needs is what will drive readers to subscribe to your blog.

Science/TechnologyRansomware: How To Protect Your Computer From Being Held Hostage by sainttobs(op): 1:51am On Oct 07, 2017
As the name suggests, ransomware is a type of malware that literally holds your computer for ransom, preventing you from accessing your programs and files until you pay the crook behind it some specified amount of money, at which point you MIGHT get everything back. With word coming out recently that new, more powerful ransomware may be hitting the scene in the not-too-distant future, I thought it would be a good idea to talk a bit about how ransomware works and how you can protect yourself.


Ransomware, Cyber Crime, Malware
What Ransomware Does
Ransomware can infect your computer in most of the traditional ways (opening infected email attachments, following links to bad sites, malicious ads on legitimate sites, infected flash drives, and so on), and can block you from using your computer in two ways.


The first involves blocking your access to the internet and any antivirus or anti-
malware software you have until you give the criminal what they’re looking for. The second, far more dangerous kind not only blocks access to the internet and your antivirus/anti-malware, but will also block access to all your files by encrypting them.
Cryptolocker, the most well known of this type of ransomware, uses such strong encryption that it cannot feasibly be cracked with current computer technology, so since the people trying to rob you are the only ones with the decryption key, Cryptolocker can really leave you up the creek. Though it wasn’t ransomware, the Heartbleed bug was revealed to be a major security vulnerability earlier this year. Here’s a blog about how to protect yourself from the Heartbleed security flaw.

Some types of ransomware are up front about the fact that they’re robbing you, and others aren’t. The ones that come right out and tell you that your files are being held hostage (again, Cryptolocker is the most well-known example) pop up a window telling you that all your files are encrypted, and the only way you can get them decrypted is to pay the attacker a specified sum of money. You are usually given a set period of time to pay the ransom before your files are permanently destroyed, and are also warned that trying to remove the software will also result in the destruction of your data.

Other types of ransomware have a more deceptive approach that uses scare tactics to get you to fork over the cash, and is actually called scareware by information security professionals. One flavor of scareware that’s been around for years is the “fake antivirus” that pops up on screen saying that it’s detected some large number of dangerous viruses on your computer and, “for your protection”, has blocked your access to the internet until you pay to download and run their fabulous antivirus software.


The only virus causing you a problem at this point is the one blocking your internet access while claiming to be on your side, but since you can’t access the internet to find out more, or even run your antivirus or anti-malware in a lot of cases, a lot of people accept it at face value.
Ransomware, Cyber Crime, Malware, Hacker


Protecting Yourself From Ransomware
The first rule you should always follow if you get hit by a ransomware attack is that you shouldn’t pay the ransom under any circumstances. Remember, you’re dealing with criminals here, ones that are probably overseas in a country where it’s easy to get away with this kind of thing, and there is absolutely no guarantee that paying the ransom will make the problem go away.


Ransomware attacks are easier to prepare for ahead of time than they are to fix once
you’ve been hit by one. You want to prepare for the worst case scenario and assume that you will one day get hit by a ransomware attack that encrypts your files, so make sure you back up all your important files to either DVDs (or even CDs if your computer
doesn’t have a DVD burner) or an external hard drive (500 gigabytes should be good for most people and are fairly cheap). This way, your files aren’t lost even if your computergets locked up by ransomware. Just make sure that if you do use a hard drive to back up your files, you disconnect it when you’re not backing up files, otherwise the ransomware will have access to it and can lock you out of your backups as well. Also, make sure you keep your antivirus and anti-malware programs up to date with the latest definitions. Since new viruses and malware (or variations on existing types) pop up every day, those programs won’t do you any good if you don’t update them on a daily basis. Keep them updated and hope they’ll catch ransomware before it has a chance to
infect your computer.


Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do if you’re already infected with ransomware. Probably your best option at this point would be to boot Windows into Safe Mode and try to fix the problem from there, and here’s a link to a video from Norton on how to do that. They’re obviously going to recommend their own malware removal tool, there are others you can try, but it describes the general process of getting into Safe Mode and trying to remove the ransomware, which is the important part.

Science/TechnologyTech Tips:easiest Ways To Back Up Your Files by sainttobs(op): 12:47pm On Oct 05, 2017
SOURCE: http://www.9jatechguru.com.ng/2017/10/tech-tipseasiest-ways-to-back-up-your.html

Evidently, technology is evolving but we all know electronic devices can barely last an entire decade before becoming obsolete or nonfunctional. Therefore, backing up special and important documents on a regular basis is crucial. So, it is advisable to back up a little more frequently as it minimizes the chances of losing your documents, baby’s pictures, etc in the event of theft, fire or hard drive failure.
Here are the three easiest ways to back up files.


1. Cloud storage
This system involves moving your files from your computer to a server in a data center, away from your home or office. A cloud storage company uses those servers to offer a certain amount of space that you virtually rent to store your files.
You can make use of Cloud services like Dropbox (product), Google Drive (product), OneDrive, iCloud, etc to automatically backup all of your files. With these services, you an sync folders or even complete file systems in no time. Of course, you will need a good internet connection and pay for subscription.
Once you sign up for a cloud storage service, you can upload, view, modify and delete files stored in your cloud storage account at anytime, from any computer or mobile device. You can also move files back onto your computer whenever you want.
Cloud Computing, Cloud, Upload, File

2. External hard disk
An external hard drive is a hard disk drive where you can store files, just like the one found in a computer. They are usually small and portable, but some are much larger and are designed to sit on your desk.
This solution comes relatively cheap and can automatically back up and restore all files. For instance, Mac OS X has a utility called Time Machine that lets you do this. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of connecting the drive always, you can connect to a network drive and have the backup trigger periodically.
Note that hard drives can fail at any time, which means you won’t be able to access the files you’ve stored on it sometimes. Though this is rare and most drives can last for so many years before needing to be replaced.
Hard, Disk, Storage, Computer
3. Flash drive
Flash drives are small, portable drives that come in a wide variety of designs. It is is very similar to external drives , but they have less storage and use flash memory. Once plugged and connected to a computer through the USB port, you can copy or drag and drop files onto it. After disconnection, those files will live on the flash drive until you remove them.
A typical large flash drive can have up to 256GB of storage space, enough for a few thousand documents or photos, depending on their sizes. They are best suited for people with just few files to backup and are especially great for students to back up documents.
However, one of the potential problems of flash drives is that they can break down, fail or become corrupted. When/if this happens, files become accessible and useless.

Science/TechnologyJumia Launches Jumia Bot - First E-commerce Shopping Robot In Nigeria by sainttobs(op): 8:05pm On Oct 04, 2017
Source: http://www.9jatechguru.com.ng/2017/10/jumia-launches-jumia-bot-first-e.html

Jumia has launched Nigeria's first e-commerce bot, which allows shoppers to order goods and book hotels and flights simply by having an online conversation with the bot.
Jumia Bot, which is powered and hosted by Facebook Messenger, offers Nigeria's 18 million Facebook users the ability to access their own personal Jumia shopping assistant.


Customers are asked what they are looking for, with Jumia Bot then using their answers to uncover the best offers.
Once a user's criteria is selected, Jumia Bot will remember and use the research for his or her next order.

The bot was developed in a collaboration between the Facebook and Jumia tech teams, and uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and natural learning processes to learn user preferences and make personalised recommendations.
AI-powered chatbots in e-commerce are on the rise globally, as such businesses transition to more automated business processes and systems when it comes to supporting customer service with the ultimate goal of fostering better shopping experiences and streamlining interactions.

Globally, platforms like WeChat, Shopify Messenger, BotCommerce and Letsclap are in use across a large number of e-commerce stores, but there has yet to be sizeable uptake in Africa yet as e-commerce companies battle with the costs of developing highly efficient AI-enabled bots.
Jumia is a leader in Africa in this respect as a result of its partnership with Facebook.
"Jumia Bot has a very simple yet important objective: to help our customers get to personalised deals on Jumia. We are pleased to unveil this new dimension of e-shopping for the Nigerian customer, and excited about helping to pioneer the next wave of local content and tech tools within our ecosystem," said Jumia Nigeria CEO Juliet Anammah.
"When we launched Bot for Businesses on Messenger, our goal was to help companies make meaningful connections with their customers in order to meet their business goals," said Emeka Afigbo, head of platform partnerships for the Middle East and Africa at Facebook. "We are excited to be part of the story in providing technology solutions to one of Africa's leading e-commerce websites."

The shopper's post-order experience is also integrated into Jumia Bot, with shoppers as a result able to track their orders and contact the customer service team for follow-up questions.

WebmastersHow To Promote Your Business Online by sainttobs(op): 12:55am On Oct 04, 2017
Source: http://www.9jatechguru.com.ng/2017/10/how-to-promote-your-business-online.html

Every serious business should have an online presence, luring customers in. When people look for the kind of products or services you provide, your business name should come up in the search results.

The truth is, the world has long gone digital, and for any business to succeed in this age, an online presence is essential. That is not to say traditional means of advertising are no longer effective, but the internet provides a means to reach millions of people at the same time.

Here are 10 ways to promote your business online:

1. Get a Website
The first step to getting your business online is setting up a website. If used well, having a website would go a long way in promoting your business. Your website should be simple functional, user-friendly, and must provide information about your business, products and services in a professional manner.

Including a blog in your website would further help you get the word out about your business. It can be used to promote new products and services share flattering stories about your business, answer customer question, advertise job openings and position you as an expert in your field when you offer tips, advice and guidance to readers.





2. Optimize your Website for Search Engine

After creating a website, the next step is to ensure that your website is search engine friendly. Optimizing your website for relevant keywords is an important aspect of marketing your business online.

When customers search for what you sell, make sure your website comes up top in their search results by constantly fine-tuning your website’s SEO. Use keywords with local flavour such as “Yaba consultant” to attract local customers. If you’re not SEO-savvy, it can be worth hiring an expert to help out.


3. Develop a Relationship with your Customers Through Email Marketing

Email marketing is a great way to keep in touch with customers and regular readers, and it goes a long way in driving business success. You can send newsletters to inform about special promotions, new products and updates or new blog posts.

Keep in mind that over half of your contacts check their email daily. Whatever newsletter you decide you want to go with, plan to send them regularly. It will help your readers to get used to it, and maybe one day they will wait to get it.

When used right, email marketing is super effective. Services like like Aweber, Get Response and Mailchimp are effective for carrying out successful email campaigns.


4. Create a Branded Email Signature

One of the simplest ways that you can market your business online is by using a branded email signature. Placing your links into your email signature helps to passively promote your business to people that you’re in contact with on a daily basis.


Your branded signature should include social media links and any link relevant to your business. Also include a one-sentence catchphrase or tagline about your business and its mission.






5. Embrace Social Media

Set your business profile on as many social media channels as you can. Be sure to include a good description of your business, relevant keywords and a link to your website.

Participate in industry-related social media conversations that talk about your type of products or services.


6. Use Online Ads

To advertise online, you can use social media, google or banner adverts on top-ranked websites. Facebook ads, one of the most popular for social media offers a great opportunity to reach the right demographics for your business.

If you know your customers well, you can use metrics like interests, geographic location, marital status, age and many others, to locate potential consumers.


7. Leverage the Power of Social Media Influencers

With the power of social media, you can instantly reach droves of people from across the world at a moment’s notice. But reaching these people can be a challenge when you don’t have hundreds of thousands or millions of followers.

To reach those people, you need amplifiers, power users and influencers to help spread your messages. While this won’t be free, selecting the right social media influencer to help spread your message will give you instant access to a wide audience in your specific niche.


8. Don’t Ignore the Power of Video

You don’t need to show your face, or have super video editing skills in order to benefit from video. A lot of businesses are utilizing video not just to engage their customers or generate leads directly through the video but to also increase search engine visibility.

There are a number of free video-making apps and websites. When uploading, ensure you optimize the title of the video and description in order to increase your opportunity to rank the video.






9. Offer a free product or service to customers

Studies have confirmed that people are more likely to accept something for free than they are to pay a nominal price for it. So, why not provide a free service or product to your customers? Maybe you offer a free 15-minute consultation or an entry-level product that you want to give away. Giveaway can be publicised via social media or emails.

Whatever you offer, ensure you secure the customer’s contact details so you can get in touch with them later. If you’re giving away a service for free, you can promote your paid services to customers. People are more likely to feel like they owe you when they accept something for free as well.


10. Get Reviews

Purchase decisions are heavily influenced by peers and reviews. It’s critical to get as many positive reviews on review sites such as Google Plus. Facebook pages also provide a platform for customers to submit reviews.

Make review acquisition a part of both your online and offline marketing strategy. Have a section on your site dedicated to reviews, send emails soliciting reviews, ask customers at the point of checkout.

WebmastersMust Read: 4 SEO Tips To Boost Your Blog Traffic By Over 50% by sainttobs(op): 11:13am On Oct 02, 2017
Source: http://www.9jatechguru.com.ng/2017/10/4-seo-tips-to-boost-your-blog-traffic.html
How Do I Increase My Blog Traffic? This is one question that is always on the minds of bloggers. The strength of a blog is in its traffic. There are several ways of improving your blog traffic and thousands if not millions of posts have been written on the topic of improving your traffic. SEO is one very important thing you have to learn if you are going to be a successful blogger. SEO ( Search Engine Optimization) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or webpage in a web search engine’s unpaid results , often referred to as “natural”, ‘organic” or “earned” results.


If you have lots of cash to spend you can use paid services like Google Adwords which puts your site at the top when a particular keyword is searched but if you are like me who doesn’t have a really robust budget and wants to get very good SEO results this is for you. Even if you use services like Adwords there is no reason for you not to learn these easy to implement methods for improving your SEO.

To use these methods you don’t need to be a coding guru. But it will be helpful if you have a basic knowledge of HTML. Enough with the stories lets get down to business.

Note: These methods are mainly for bloggers using “Blogger” platform buy “Wordpress” bloggers can also learn a thing or two from these steps.

1. * Login to your blogger dashboard go to settings >> Search Prefrences

* Where it says “Custom Robots Header Tags” Click on Edit

* Where it says “Enable Custom Robots Header Tags?” Click On edit

You will see a lot of options just copy what I ticked from the image below and click on save changes.

That’s all for the 1st step. If you haven’t done this you are missing a lot of traffic from Search engines



2. *Still On Your Blogger Dashboard go to settings>>Search Prefrences>>Custom Robot.txt>>Enable>>Paste the Below code and click on save changes.

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google

Disallow:

User-agent:*

Diasallow: /search

Allow: /

Sitemap: http://www.YOUROWNURL.com/sitemap.xml



Remember to edit the www.YOUROWNURL.com to the url of your blog. Then Click on save changes. With this you are just a few steps more from massive traffic



3. The next step is to make Search Engines Your Friend. You will have to register your blog to the major search engines which are Google and Bing.

· Google: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en

We all know very well that the iPhone X was the grand finale of Apple’s latest Keynote and promises to be the next big smartphone of the brand. However, the most interesting thing is that there are still details that remain to be revealed.



Additional iPhone X Specs Confirmed: 3GB RAM & 2716 mAh Battery

The iPhone X was the grand finale of Apple’s latest Keynote and promises to be the next big smartphone of the brand. Already known about this new smartphone, but there are still details that remain to be revealed.

Shortly after the arrival of the iPhone X, more information about its specifications now appears, revealing what the tech giant Apple did not want to show users.


The tech giant Apple has always been restrained in the information it throws to the public, always trying not to reveal the total specifications of its devices. It presents only the obvious and necessary, the rest is revealed later in the analysis of the device.


The new known specifications of iPhone X

With the iPhone X about to hit the market, certifications have now begun, prompting several entities to start releasing some information that was not yet available. That is precisely what happened now, with Tenaa, the Chinese certification body, to show some more specifications of this smartphone.

From what was revealed, and that came up on Twitter, @onleaks, the new iPhone X will only have 3GB of RAM and a battery of 2,716mAh. The tech giant Apple has not confirmed this information, but it is obvious that it is true.
Only 3GB of RAM for iPhone X

For many, the 3GB of RAM may seem very little, but it follows the line of what is usual on the iPhone. It has less RAM than the best Android smartphones, which start at 4GB and go up to much higher values. It has the advantage of having iOS built for these features and Apple’s control of applications.
One of the biggest batteries used in the iPhone

In the case of the battery of 2,716mAh, the position is different. This is one of the largest battery that the tech giant Apple has ever put on an iPhone and is far from the 2,691mAh of the (larger) iPhone 8 Plus. The tech giant Apple says the iPhone X battery lasts 2 hours longer than the iPhone 7 Plus battery, which has 2,900mAh and is the largest of them all.

With a release date scheduled for October 27, iPhone X will cost $1,000 for the 64 GB version and $1,149 for the 256 GB version and on that date, its specifications will be confirmed.

We all must agree to the fact that no-one is safe on the internet, recently we seen Hackers broke into the bank, even hackers managed to hack nuclear power plant. Hence, we are going to share 10 simple things that you should do right now to avoid getting hacked.



10 Simple Things You Should Do To Avoid Getting Hacked

If we look around 21st century and technology are rapidly making progress. We all must agree to the fact that no-one is safe on the internet, recently we seen Hackers broke into the bank, even hackers managed to hack nuclear power plant. However, it is always better to make yourself secure in the virtual world.

Nowadays, hacking has become really easy. Therefore, if you’ve come across the victim or even you were a victim of a weird status or message sent to multiple accounts on social media, then you need to take steps to secure it right now. If you just changed your mind to secure yourself on the Internet then simply follow up this 5 steps.
# Using a VPN Using a VPN

VPN or you can say Virtual Private Network is one of the best tools for your computer security. When you connect to any public wifi or any type of internet connection, you are not at all secure because anyone can track your activity over that network. It helps you to hide your IP and keeps all your information safe and secure.

# Never use Same Passwords Never use Same Passwords

Remembering Passwords was never easy! By writing them can make your work lot easier. If you are one of them who uses same passwords on different accounts then just remember, once your password is cracked you will be hacked from almost every network. Therefore Different password for different accounts is the best way to avoid hacking attempts.
# Using Two-Step Verification Using Two-Step Verification

Almost every social media platform now gives you the feature to enable Two-step verification. It may take a time to set up the feature. However, it provides the security that every one of us needed. Hackers need to first get the code sent to your mobile to access the account.
# Don’t Link Your Accounts Don’t Link Your Accounts

Linking is handy but do you know hackers can get access to any one of your accounts and from there they can automatically have access to all other accounts linked up. Therefore, make sure don’t link accounts as by linking your social media you are clearly giving an open invitation to hackers to hack into your accounts.
# Avoid Public Wifi Avoid Public Wifi

Public WiFi is always lovable because mostly they are free. Logging into a free WiFi puts you under the threat of virus, malware and many other things that involve in hacking attempts. If you are connected to any Public wifi then can track you and can leak your credentials data to a hacker.
# Never use Your Primary Email for other purposes Never use Your Primary Email for other purposes

Nowadays, every website requires a sign-in process. However, the biggest mistake we make is to use the primary email for all other purposes. By doing this, you are only inviting spams in your email inbox. Make sure to make an extra effort by creating an alternative email address that can be used for all other purposes. This will help you to remain safe from phishing scams.
# Always Type Web Address Instead Of Clicking them directly Type Web Address Instead Of Clicking them directly

It’s a well-known fact that hackers use various techniques to trap users. Hackers can send you fake phishing links or any attachments that contain malware. However, the next time you receive anonymous emails, don’t be tempted to click on the hyperlink. If you feel that the hyperlink will take you to a known login page, then open the new tab and type out the web address.

# Never discuss private details on Social Networking Sites Never discuss private details on Social Networking Sites

One of the best method used by hackers is to reset the password. Hackers can use your DOB, phone number, security question to reset the password. Therefore, never reveal your real date of birth on any website. These are small things that hackers look for to connect the dots and hack into your accounts.
# Make Use Of The Privacy Settings Make Use Of The Privacy Settings

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram have a different section for Privacy that we very often overlook. However, this thing can do lots of benefit to us. Make sure you have updated your privacy settings like who can see your timeline, who can see your Date of Birth etc. Make it a habit to keep checking your privacy settings from time to time.
# Logout Logout

Usually, users never log out Facebook account from their computer. It takes just a few seconds to hit the logout button. Anyone can access your Facebook account if you leave your computer while your Facebook, Twitter, Gmail account if it’s logged in. Therefore make sure to Logout every time you log in.

So, above are the 5 simplest things that you should do today if you want to save yourself from hackers. These 5 things are easy to implement and takes less time comparing other techniques out there. Therefore, be safe! I hope you like the article! Share it with your friends too.

Science/TechnologyResearchers Connect A Human Brain To The Internet For The First Time by sainttobs(op): 12:43am On Sep 25, 2017
Source: http://www.9jatechguru.com.ng/2017/09/researchers-connect-human-brain-to.html

We all know very well that the Internet is, in many cases, an extension of people’s brains. As recently, a group of researchers at Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa managed to link a human brain directly to the Internet in real time.

Researchers Connect A Human Brain To The Internet For The First Time

The Internet is, in many cases, an extension of people’s brains. Although it is a statement bordering on exaggeration, the truth is that there are even those who want to give another meaning to this “hyperbole”.

In fact, this is an unprecedented feat. A group of researchers at Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa linked a human brain directly to the Internet in real time. Welcome to Brainternet.

If in the past there were those who wanted to turn our thoughts into binary language, and could standardize how to “read” the mind, now there are those who want to collect data from the online state of our brain. According to those responsible, this project can help in the development of machine learning technology and brain-computer interfaces.


BrainTalk – Brain meets IoT

According to the information provided, the team made a major breakthrough in the field of biomedical engineering. The project was dubbed as “Brainternet”, and essentially turns the brain into an “Internet of Things” (a network of connected physical objects) within the global WWW network.

The project works by reading the EEG signals through an Emotiv EEGO device connected to the user’s head. These signals are then transmitted to a computer, which in this case was a Raspberry Pi, a low-cost computer that sends the signals to an interface created in dedicated software. In this way, there can be a clear perception, for any person, of the activity of the brain.

Brainternet is a new frontier in brain-computer interface systems. There is an easily understandable lack of data on how the human brain works and processes the information. Brainternet seeks to simplify a person’s understanding of their own brains and the brains of others. The project does this through continuous monitoring of brain activity, in addition to enabling some interactivity.

Explained Adam Pantanowitz, a professor at the School of Information and Electrical Engineering at Wits University and a project supervisor.


Software and mobile applications

The team aims for greater interactivity with the brain in order to extract more information. These features have already been designed in the software that is online and already show some options, although still limited to the stimulus, such as arm movement.

According to Pantanowitz, the Brainternet can be the further improved to classify information through an application installed on a smartphone that can provide data for a machine learning algorithm. This may help to realize in the future an information transfer platform in both directions, inputs, and outputs.
Intellectual muscle



In addition to applications in machine learning and brain-computer interfaces, such as Neon Lace (from Neurolink) by Elon Musk and Bryan Johnson Kernel, the data collected in this daring project may lead to a better understanding of how our minds work and how we can harness this knowledge to increase our brain power.
We are close to being able to perceive our brain in a computational way and to know its limit it is a matter of time. So, what do you think about this? Simply share your views and thoughtsin the comments section below.

We all know very well that today, technology is achieving great feats, an example of which we can see in medicine, a field where systems and devices are getting more advanced every day and are very precise in all things. Hence, MIT has published a report on the new project of the company already known and experienced in the medical field Second Sight has presented its “bionic eye” to blind people.


This ‘Bionic Eye’ Lets Blind People See Again
Today, technology is achieving great feats, an example of which we can see in medicine, a field where systems and devices are getting more advanced every day and are very precise in all things. Also, there are references to individual projects that help certain communities with some motor, visual, and other problems.
Therefore, the MIT has published a report on the new project of the company already known and experienced Second Sight. Who has presented its “bionic eye” to blind people.


In concrete form, this is Orion, a very particular device and that is the evolution of the first project for this purpose. This project if we remember then it caused great expectation around the world and of course, quite rightly, since it is composed of glasses with a camera and an external processor for its correct operation.
Thus, blind patients are able to detect light, darkness, object outlines and even letters; something really awesome. The device is priced at $125,000; a price not suitable for everyone.
Now, Orion is distinguished from its first brother because it includes an implant in the brain and is able to receive signals from the outside so that people can see what is around them.
In addition, this device comes with several new features such as the ability to apply to different people such as those who lost the eye, those who have glaucoma, cancer, diabetic retinopathy, among others. As we see is not limited simply to the partial loss of vision. However, there is a problem and as we have already imagined the implementation and use of Orion requires surgery in the brain, this, to be able to put the receiver.


Like the aforementioned model, Orion requires glasses with a camera-equipped and an external processor. At the moment, they want to perform tests in patients for the month of October and, with a goal for year-end, to have the first implant ready and usable in a blind person.

iPad extra symbols: Hitting the shift key has long brought up alternative symbols and numbers, but now further alternatives can be accessed by pulling down on the shift key. keyboard upgade
iPhone Drag and Drop: Widely marketed as iPad feature, this actually works on the iPhone in the Files and Notes app among others. Until all apps support this, however, finding what does and doesn’t work takes time.

Multi App Dragging: Tap and hold an app until it wiggles and you can now select multiple apps at the same time and then drag them all to a new screen or folder. Great for quick organisation.

One Handed Zoom: A long established feature in Android with Google Maps, now iOS 11 similarly allows you to double tap on Apple Maps and if you keep your finger held to the screen on the second tap swiping up and down will zoom in and out. Useful when on the move.


Flyover Mode: Select 3D View and then a popular city and choose the Flyover option. With this enabled in iOS 11 you can now flyover the city just by moving around – a kind of simplified AR. Apple maps flyover enhanced in iOS 11

Safari

Additional Privacy: In Settings navigate to Safari and you’ll see a ‘Try to Prevent Cross-Site Tracking’ option. This stops ads following you from site to site, it is enabled by default.

Automatic Reader Mode: Long press the Reader button and the options ‘Use on this site’ and ‘Use on all sites’ appear. Select one and the site will always automatically load in Reader mode.

Password Autofill: Saved passwords in Safari can now be (securely) integrated into third party apps, saving you time typing them in. Android 8.0 Oreo also just added this feature.

Flight Status: In iOS 11 flight information is grabbed automatically from your emails and calendar and can be kept visible in Safari or a Spotlight widget.

But now, they have finally known the milliamperes that each one of them has, throwing a truly curious fact: the batteries of the new iPhone 8 are smaller than those of its predecessors, although they offer a greater autonomy.

As detailed in the Phonearena portal, the information has arisen from a leak to documents related to these smartphones from the Chinese certification body TENAA, in which the values of each of the batteries can be accurately appreciated.

The iPhone 8 has a 1821mAh battery compared to 1960mAh on the iPhone 7. Meanwhile, the iPhone 8 Plus has a battery of 2675mAh compared to the 2900mAh battery of the iPhone 7 Plus.

According to several specialized sources, this is only possible due to the superior performance offered by the new processor with these new models, the A11 Bionic chip of the tech giant Apple, the fastest and most powerful in the mobile phone market and is already demonstrating all its power in the first performance tests to which it is being subjected.

Apple: What Exactly Happened When Face ID FAILED During iPhone X Demo

Last Tuesday, the tech giant Apple introduced a set of new products at an event held at the new Steve Jobs Theater. Among all the devices presented, the iPhone X (also dubbed as iPhone 10) was the one that stood out for its audacity, the daring to put innovative technologies, even if they are not spinsters in the market, to the service of the best smartphone ever produced by the Cupertino brand.

Face ID was the star of the party for the way it promises to mark the security on the smartphone but also for the future trend of many other devices. Of course, Craig Federighi’s little confusion, responsible for the presentation of the technology, immediately caused a whisper and doubts about its effectiveness. But it was not because of insecurity, quite the contrary, and Apple explained.
Face ID will be the safest system in the mobile segment

At the time iPhone X is called to show its capabilities with Face ID, this does not match the expected, as it does not read the user’s face, instead asks for the access code. Realizing that iPhone X was asking for the access code, Apple engineer Craig Federighi had to use another iPhone to continue the demonstration. Due to the error happened, the Internet did not pardon and began to appear several memes in the social networks ridiculing the situation.


In fact, this was enough for the tech giant Apple’s stock to drop slightly during Keynote. Thus, the tech giant Apple issued a statement explaining what had happened in the demonstration where the new functionality of iPhone X failed.

According to the tech giant Apple, the people in charge of bringing the new iPhones to the stage before the event did not realize that Face ID was trying to recognize their faces to allow the unlocking of the iPhone. After failing a number of times because they were not Craig Federighi, the smartphone asked for the access code. In this way, Face ID worked as expected.

No doubt most people jumped to conclusions about the success of the demonstration and quickly began to call it “Fail.” In fact, the explanation of what happened in the event by each and everyone those who were present there is not far from the truth, thus they know that the Face ID actually worked properly.

Now the tech giant Apple has clarified the situation there is no doubt that Face ID works and that it will actually be a fairly secure authentication method. Hopefully, in future events, the tech giant Apple will be more careful with the devices it uses for demonstrations.

Currently, the Touch ID has a similar behavior, that is, when in certain circumstances the iPhone is put in certain scenarios, the access code is immediately requested. And many of these situations are similar to Android devices.
These are the current conditions:-
* The device has just been powered up or restarted
* Device has not been unlocked for more than 48 hours
* The password was not used to unlock the device in the last six days and the Touch ID did not unlock the device in the last eight hours
* The device received a remote lock command
* After five unsuccessful attempts to match a fingerprint
* When setting up or registering new fingers with Touch ID

A self-hosted WordPress blog is one that uses the WordPress software on a third-party server. With it, you can install plugins, edit your HTML code, and more, giving you full control over your website while making it look more professional. A self-hosted WordPress blog is usually the best way to go for anyone willing to invest a couple of dollars per month. It’s ideal for business owners, professional brand builders, and any blogger looking to expand their site’s functionality and professional appearance.
Pros:

User-friendly with full control and customization options.
Access to over 1,500 free themes and 20,000 free plugins.
Search engine friendly options.

Cons:

Hosting on a third-party server can require some technical knowledge, but most hosts (like Bluehost or QServers) offer quality technical support.
Due to its popularity, WordPress is vulnerable to security threats.

Blogger
Price: Free
Since Blogger is owned by Google, you’ll have access to Google tools like AdSense, Analytics, etc. However, Blogger is not nearly as flexible as WordPress.org. This platform is great for hobby bloggers and brand builders who don’t want to invest any money but may want to make some money through ads. Since it is easy to use, it is also a great platform for beginner bloggers just learning the ropes.
Pros:

Completely free and easy to use.
Can place AdSense ads.
Access to HTML code, so there are more customization options.

Cons:

Fewer themes and storage space than .
You cannot self-host, so your blog is dependent completely on Blogger’s current offerings.
Your site will have . in the title.

Tumblr
Price: Free
Tumblr is easy to use and is a very social platform. This is the perfect place for bloggers who like the idea of “reblogging” posts. Its platform is best for microbloggers, so it’s perhaps not the best place to start if you are looking to develop long-form content.
Pros:

Unlimited storage.
Approximately 1,000 themes to choose from.
HTML and CSS access for customization.

Cons:

Backing up your blog and importing your content from other platforms is difficult.
There are very limited plugin options.
It is tough to monetize.

TypePad
Price: $8.95+/month
TypePad is a good platform for business professionals or brand builders who don’t mind investing some money every month into their blog. That price can pay in delivering more features and a more professional-looking site. However, most people will still tell business bloggers to choose a self-hosted WordPress platform due to its large community, but TypePad does have its advantages.
Pros:

They host on their servers, but you own your blog.
Unlimited storage space.
Easy to use.

Cons:

It costs a few dollars more per month than a self-hosted WordPress site.
Customization options can be limited.

WIX
Price: $4.08+/month
WIX is a good website option with blogging capabilities that is ideal for businesses. With its ecommerce functions, WIX makes building your entire ecommerce business website simple, although full control over your online shop is somewhat limited.
Pros:

Unlimited bandwidth.
Ad integration.
Easy to use.
Domain registration options.
Up to 20 GB storage.
Hundreds of professional-looking templates.
Get Affordable And Reliable WebHosting With Free Custom Domain


Cons:

More expensive than a self-hosted WordPress blog.
Ecommerce tools aren’t very advanced.
Limited customization options.

Any of the free options are ideal for novice or hobby bloggers who don’t want to invest any money while the paid options are better for business blogs. Choosing the right one comes down to how you want your site to function. Which platform do you think you’ll choose?

PhonesTop 10 Reasons To Root Your Android Phone by sainttobs(op): 12:44am On Sep 14, 2017
Source: http://www.9jatechguru.com.ng/2017/09/top-10-reasons-to-root-your-android.html

Android is one of the most open, versatile, and customizable mobile operating systems out there. You may think you don't need to root your phone, but you'd be surprised at how much more you can accomplish with a little work.


10 Reasons Why You Should Root Your Phone

10. Unlock Hidden Features and Install "Incompatible" Apps


Sometimes, even Android isn't open enough to give you some of the features you want. Either an app is blocked by carriers, hacks into Android's system files, or otherwise isn't available. Luckily, rooting can help with that: you can install carrier-blocked apps, get features from the latest version of Android, make incompatible apps compatible, power up your hardware, get features like Beats Audio from other phones, or emulate exclusive features like those on the Moto X. Whatever you want, rooting gives you the power to do

9. Automate Everything


You've probably heard of Tasker, the awesome app that automates just about anything on your phone. You don't need to root your phone to use it, but if you're rooted, it can do a whole lot more. Certain tasks, like toggling 3G, GPS, changing CPU speed, turning the screen on, and others require root access. So, if you want to get the full benefit of an app like Tasker, you'll definitely want to root your phone. For more automation inspiration, check out your best Tasker actions, as well as our most recently featured Tasker tricks
8. Boost Your Phone's Speed and Battery Life


You can do a lot of things to speed up your phone and boost its battery life without rooting, but with root—as always—you have even more power.
Get Cheap, Reliable WebHosting With Free Custom Domain
For example, with an app like SetCPU you can overclock your phone for better performance, or underclock it for better battery life. You can also use an app like Greenify to automatically hibernate apps you aren't using—perfect for those apps that always want to run in
7. Block Ads in Any App


Look, we of all people understand the need for occasional ads—it's how we make money. But ads can also get in the way and use up data. If you want to block ads in certain apps or on certain devices, rooting is by far the best way to do so. AdFree, AdBlock Plus, and Ad Away are all great options. Of course, if you
6. Back Up Your Phone for Seamless Transitions


When you move to a new Android device—or restore your device to stock for any reason—you can make your life a lot easier by backing up your apps and settings first. That way, you can get your entire setup back in just a few taps. If you aren't rooted, you can back up a few things like apps and data, but you won't necessarily be able to backup system apps and their data, or automate the entire process as well as Titanium

5. Remove Preinstalled Crapware


Titanium Backup is good for more than just backups, too. It can also uninstall that annoying, battery-draining, space-wasting crapware that comes preinstalled on so many phones these days—and, sadly, this feature is root-only. Freeze them first to make sure your phone operates normally without them, then delete them completely to free up that space. You'll be glad you did. Photo by Daniel Sancho.
4. Tweak the Dark Corners of Android


If you're the kind of person that likes to fiddle with every little feature—both on the surface and under the hood—rooting is for you. Whether you want to customize your keyboard layout with something like Keyboard Manager or give yourself faster scrolling, improved multitasking, and extra themes with love-vendor My ROM, rooting gives you the power to tweak just about any corner you can think of. If you want to do it, chances are someone over on a forum like XDA has created a mini-app or tweak that will help.



3. Flash a Custom Kernel


Some of Android's most under-the-hood tweaks require a custom kernel, which you can only flash with a rooted device. The kernel is responsible for helping your apps communicate with the hardware of your phone, which means a custom kernel can give you better performance, battery life, and even extra features like Wi-Fi tethering (on unsupported phones), faster battery charging, and lots more. You can flash kernels ma
2. Flash a Custom ROM


Okay, so you probably already know about this one—but it's one of the best benefits of rooting. A custom ROM is basically a custom version of Android, and it truly changes how you use your phone. Some merely bring a stock version of Android to non-stock phones, or later versions of Android to phones that don't have it yet. Some add a few handy features, some add lots of really unique features, and some change your operating system from head to toe.

No matter what phone you have—even if it's a Nexus—we highly recommend checking out the custom ROMs out there. You won't be disappointed. Note: As some of you have noted, you don't actually need root access to flash a custom ROM—though you will need to unlock your bootloader (a process that sometimes comes bundled with root access). Still, it requires freeing your device from manufacturer lockdowns, so we've kept it in the list despite this technicality!
1. Truly Own Your Device


In the end, all of this boils down to one thing: you own your device, and you should be able to do with it as you please. Certain manufacturers and carriers try to keep that from happening, but with root access, you truly own your device and open yourself up to all the possibilities other parties try to block. Sure, there's some risk involved, and we don't usually recommend rooting other people's phones, but in the end, you can't put a price on true openness and control. Photo by Andrew Mason.

Apple's new iPhone 8 will be officially unveiled today. The latest smartphone is expected to be a radical change for the company, which will seek to wow users for the 10th anniversary of the device.



Fans got an early taste of what's in store ahead of today's release date when Apple suffered a major leak two days before its launch, with many of the iPhone 8's features being revealed.
Get Cheap, Reliable WebHosting With Free Custom Domain
The latest leaks suggest the new phone - its price could be in the region of £1,000 - will actually be called the iPhone X and will include wireless charging, facial recognition, an edge-to-edge display and - for the first time - no home button. Apple is expected to release the device alongside two other phones, called the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

Here's everything you need to know Tuesday's the iPhone X release.
When will it be released?

Tim Cook is expected to unveil the iPhone 8 at an event in California on September 12. In August the company sent invitations out to journalists inviting them to an event at its new Apple Park headquarters at 10am Pacific time (6pm UK time)






Tradition dictates the devices will go on sale a week after their announcement, making it likely the iPhone 8 will be available for pre-order on September 15 and hit stores on Friday September 22.

Apple has dismissed rumours that production delays could affect the release of the phone, predicting strong sales in the coming months - above expectations and presumably driven by an iPhone launch.





There could be a limited supply of the iPhone 8 for the first few months of sales.
What will Apple unveil today?

Apple is planning to break with tradition and release three phones in September: the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

The company normally releases a new design one year and follows with a slight upgrade the year after. Following this logic, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are anticipated to feature minor upgrades to the iPhone 7, such as a faster chip and longer battery life.






The flagship phone is now expected to be called the iPhone X and will feature a radical redesign in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone. It could give the device a new name in honour of the splash,

The company is also expected to unveil a third generation of the Apple Watch and a 4K Apple TV.





How much will it cost?

The iPhone X will probably be Apple's most expensive handset year, with estimates suggesting it could cost $1,000 in the US. The weak pound and VAT mean that this could well translate into a cost of £1,000 or more in the UK.

The 8 and 8 Plus models, which may be available in greater numbers and earlier, are likely to be cheaper, close to the current iPhone 7 and 7 Plus prices of £599 and £719.





An executive at Apple manufacturer Foxconn has suggested the high-end device will "not be cheap".


Get Cheap, Reliable WebHosting With Free Custom Domain



A price tag of almost $1,000 would make the new device 54 per cent more expensive than Apple's current iPhone 7.
What colours will it come in?

Analysts and leaks suggest the premium iPhone X will come in at least three colours: white, black and copper or gold. The white and black colours are fairly standard, but a third colour is thought to be coming in either a copper or a champagne gold hue.

Reports from iPhone leaker Benjamin Geskin have also indicated the iPhone X will come in what is being called "Blush Gold", while it is rumoured to only come in three colours, dropping the pinkish "rose gold" that had come on previous models.

What features will the iPhone X have?

Here are some of the best and most plausible suggestions floating around the rumour mill.
Edge-to-edge display

It has long been an ambition of Sir Jony Ive, Apple's design chief, to make an iPhone that looks like one piece of glass, with a screen that covers the whole of the front of the phone.

Rumours suggest this might finally come to fruition with the new iPhone X. Clues in the HomePod code suggest the phone will have a 5.8-inch edge-to-edge OLED display. Apple could also replace the device's aluminium back with a glass back and aluminium bumper.

Such a design would allow Apple to increase the screen size of the iPhone without increasing its actual footprint, meaning it could be closer in size to the iPhone 7 with a screen that matches the iPhone 7 Plus.

No home button

The home button has been a feature of every iPhone since the original in 2007, but Apple may be in a position to get rid of it. It has already introduced advanced pressure-detection technology with 3D Touch, and last year's iPhone 7 had a solid-state home button that vibrates instead of clicks.

The iPhone screen now also wakes up when the phone is picked up, so there is less need to click a physical home button. Apple has patented a way of embedding Touch ID, its fingerprint reading technology, in the screen, so that might solve security issues.

The latest leaks from Apple's firmware revealed a virtual home button, that could be resized or even hidden.
Facial recognition software

Apple is expected to replace its Touch ID fingerprint scanner and home button with an infrared scanner that unlocks the phone using facial recognition software. The security upgrade is said to be super fast, able to scan a user's face and unlock the device in "millionths of a second".

Get Cheap, Reliable WebHosting With Free Custom Domain



It will work with a 3D camera, according to leaked images.

Developers found references to the technology, dubbed Pearl ID, in code for the HomePod smart speaker. It could be used to unlock the phone, log in to apps and verify Apple Pay transactions.

Similar facial recognition is currently available on rival phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S8.

There are suggestions that the facial recognition could allow the iPhone to be able to tell when you are looking at it, so that it can mute notification sounds and saving your colleagues from your annoying ringtone.

Animoji

Animoji are a new form of moving emoji that can be customised using facial recognition software, according to 9to5Mac. Users will be able to scan their face and the animoji will match their expression in a short animation.






The feature will only be available on the premium iPhone X, as it requires the 3D camera. Apple has created a limited selection of animoji from its hundreds of emoji, including the monkey, unicorn, robot, dog, pig, cat, dog and pile of poo.
SmartCam

Leaks at the end of July from Apple's own code suggested new developments in Apple's camera technology. The "SmartCam" was revealed in firmware for the HomePod smart speaker, which revealed it could identify different scenes and objects, such as fireworks, foliage, babies, pets, snow or sport.

Augmented reality directions

Clues in Apple's upcoming software suggest it will introduce a new method for directing users. The iPhone X could guide users around towns and cities using augmented reality to superimpose directions onto the view through the camera.

iOS 11

The best indication of how the iPhone X could look is Apple's latest software, which was unveiled in June and will ship on the new device. The standout features of iOS 11 are peer-to-peer Apple Pay and a redesigned Control Centre. It also new safety features, including a do not disturb while driving mode and an Emergency SOS option that will lock thieves out when its owner is in danger.





Wireless charging

Batteries are still the big problem with mobile phones - as good as they are, most still last just a day - and battery tech is only making incremental progress. This means manufacturers have focused on technology such as fast charging as a compromise.
Get Cheap, Reliable WebHosting With Free Custom Domain
But Apple could go one better and allow wireless charging. Apple famously removed the iPhone 7's headphone jack, which meant users could not listen to wired headphones and charge their phone through the Lightning port at the same time. Removing the second part of that equation might make sense.



A concept of the new iPhone 8/X on a charging pad Credit: Benjamin Geskin




Some phones and devices like the Apple Watch already use charging that requires the device to be placed on a inductive pad. Apple going one further and allowing true wireless charging that beams power from the socket would be a real breakthrough.


But rumours indicate it is more likely that Apple will offer wireless charging as an optional extra.
How will it compare to the iPhone 7?

With an A11 chip inside, the iPhone X will no doubt be lighting fast. With a price tag of more than £800 it will be more expensive than the base model iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, although the top spec iPhone 7 Plus does currently come in at £919.

In terms of size, most analysts believe it will be somewhere in between the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Leaks of the schematics expect the new phone to be around 144mm tall and 71mm wide. The current iPhone 7 is 138.3 x 67.1mm, while the iPhone 7 Plus is 158.2 x 77.9mm.

However with a 5.8-inch screen, thanks to its almost edgeless design, it will have the largest screen of any iPhone ever made.

We all know very well that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is about to hit the market. Samsung’s next big smartphone is getting ready to fight the next iPhone, just like every year. However, the South Korean Giant Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 broke Samsung’s pre-order records.




OMG! Galaxy Note 8 Breaks Samsung’s Pre-Order Records

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is about to hit the market. Samsung’s next big smartphone is getting ready to fight the next iPhone, just like every year.

After last year the brand suffered a major setback with Note 7, now it seems to be outdated. The pre-sales of Galaxy Note 8 are breaking all records, which leaves another chance of success for the South Korean Giant Samsung.

The South Korean Giant Samsung Introduced in late August, its new smartphone immediately simply to prove that it could be a strong competitor in the market. The Note line always has a great acceptance and always generates a lot of interest among the consumers.


One year after launching Note 7 and having gone through all known issues, the South Korean Giant Samsung revealed that everything is outdated and that the market is adhering to Note 8 in a surprising way.

The information that the South Korean Giant Samsung revealed, referring to the US and without concrete figures, shows that since it was put in pre-sale Note 8 has broken the records. According to the brand, pre-sales are so high that have already beaten sales of Galaxy Note 7 and previous models in the same period.


Even though it is not an inexpensive smartphone, with a price around $1100 in India and in line with what is expected to be the standard for this high-end device, interest is high, which shows the good acceptance it had.

The South Korean Giant Samsung ended up having some strong arguments in the sale, mainly in the offer of some accessories like Dex and others. In this way, this smartphone turned out to become much more interesting.

This pre-sales information clearly shows that the Ghost of Note 7 is outdated and that the Note line has again become interesting to consumers, who had already gotten used to seeing these smartphones working machines.
