I started JAVA programming sometime last month, and am pretty amazed how much I can do with it. Just the basics and all. So I don't really know way forward forward from there. I really want to challenged to put all I know into a good use. And I really honored to be among programmers in this forum.

Java is really good language, I love it. u can move forward by trying to create simple stuffs with it like games and the likes

To train they wont train, its to be showcasing jersey. If i see any thread with Nigerian jersey i will curse the op. Somebody just waste fuel to watch their match. nonsense

I just created a web app which you can use to get the weather information of any place. The web app was built using Node.js and I also made use of Google Map API to plot the location and Openweathermap API to get the weather information. It was fun coding this app. And in the spirit of open-sourceness I am making the code available to all on GitHub so you can run this web app locally and have fun with it. I will add the link at the end of this post. There are a few things to know before you run this app.
Firstly, you will need to have Node installed on your system to run it locally. You can download node from the official site here https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Secondly, you will need to get a Google Map API and openweathermap API for this webapp to function properly. Both are free and you get them easily. Just google search it.

Also this web app uses SpeechSynthesis so the weather information is spoken out. The SpeechSynthesis may not work on all browsers. Browsers like Internet Explorer and Operamini do not support it. But if you are using Chrome you are good to go. I think that should be all, all the dependencies have already been added in the folder. If you need any help setting it up locally feel free to PM me , and have fun playing with the app. You can also contribute to it on GitHub.
Link To Code On GitHub ==> https://github.com/sainttobs/Weather-app
Just clone it and you can get started.

Lastly, let me just use this medium to advertise myself a little. If you need someone to create websites/web apps, android/iOS app or desktop apps just PM me.

Microsoft Plans To Buy GitHub, Valued At $5 Billion

According to the report shared by Business Insider, the tech giant Microsoft would be interested in buying GitHub, a web-based hosting service for version control using git. It is mostly used for computer code.

The interest that the tech giant Microsoft has for GitHub is not new since throughout these years there have been many rumours about conversations about a purchase agreement.

Negotiations talks by the tech giant Microsoft to acquire GitHub started in 2016, but never advanced enough, until now. Although there are no confirmations from either party, the sources of Business Insider, assure that GitHub would be willing to carry out an agreement, if certain conditions are respected.

One of them is to maintain independence and continue with the same dynamic that they are developing from the beginning. As for the amount of the sale, it seems that they have not yet reached an agreement, but the last assessment received by GitHub was 2000 million dollars in 2015.

However, CNBC mentions that the acquisition would be for a price of 5000 million dollars or more, according to the expectations of GitHub. At the moment, all these data are only speculations, and until some of the parties confirm at least the intention of the transaction, it will remain only in rumours.

So, it remains to see if the tech giant Microsoft manages to make a really tempting offer and if GitHub considers that this is the future they want to give the platform. So, what do you think about this? Simply share all your views and thoughts in the comment section below.

Google’s Pixel 3 XL To Get iPhone X-Like Notch
We all know very well that the tech giant Apple’s flagship smartphone, of course, iPhone X has set a new direction in the design of smartphones. Hence, now according to the latest reports, the tech giant Google’s next flagship smartphone, of course, Pixel 3 XL design is fully inspired by the iPhone X.

Google’s Pixel 3 XL To Get iPhone X-Like Notch

It is always a good time to receive a ration of rumours in the world of smartphones, and this time it is the reliable Mark Gurman, who has some details of the upcoming Google mobile devices. In fact, a few days ago there were the first rumours that confirmed the name of Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, as well as some possible features filtered in the beta of Android P.

The publisher of Bloomberg assures that the new Pixel 3 will be announced during the month of October of this year, and the older brother aims to be the one that receives the greater amount of novelties, whereas the smaller one will conserve much of the aspect that we saw in the Pixel 2.
‘Notch’, but only for the bigger version

According to Gurman, the Pixel 3 XL will have a renewed design that will bring us a screen with reduced frames where the famous notch will be released. But this reduction of frames would be presented only on the sides and top since the bottom would still have its frame in order to maintain the double front stereo speaker. On the other hand, the Pixel 3 would not have a notch or a “full screen” design.

According to the information, the goal of incorporating ‘notch’ in the Pixel 3 XL would be to take advantage of the new features of Android P, the new operating system from the tech giant Google that recently added compatibility for this type of designs, allowing developers make their applications take advantage of this design without cuts.



Within the ‘notch’ of the Pixel 3 XL would be one of the front speakers as well as a double camera, which would be one of the novelties for this generation, and specifically for this model. Both devices would keep a single camera in the back, yes, relying on artificial intelligence again to maintain that photographic quality that both Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL received.

On the other hand, the information mentions that the tech giant Google seeks to change its strategy to be negotiating with Foxconn to take over the assembly of these new Pixel devices and the next generations.

Here it would be the former team of HTC who would be responsible for collaborating with them to take charge of the design and quality control. This would help Google to have a greater volume of production, fewer failures and to expand its reach when reaching new regions of the world.

Finally, Gurman also mentioned that Google is planning improvements for the next version of Android, which would come in 2019 with a new focus on artificial intelligence, this under the goal that the user has to worry less about tasks, as AI would now perform most of the things automatically.

Google Removes Famous ‘Don’t Be Evil’ Motto From Code Of Conduct
According to latest reports and what can be seen in the history of the Internet, there have been changes in the code of conduct. Yes, the tech giant Google recently dropped its famous ‘Don’t Be Evil’ motto from its code of conduct.

Google Removes Famous ‘Don’t Be Evil’ Motto From Code Of Conduct

Google’s position towards its users and their data has always been suspicious and revealing of their need to be able to win. The brand made a point of maintaining a motto that contradicted this whole position, leading its employees to follow these rules.

Something has now changed in this philosophy, with the tech giant Google removing from its code of conduct the old and well-known motto “Don’t Be Evil.”

Since 2000, the motto “Don’t be evil” is part of Google’s code of conduct. This phrase has accompanied the company as a guide and a guideline for its employees.


This is an idea that has been supported by the positions of the company in all the services and applications that it has launched. With the integration in Alphabet in 2015, there was a code change, but Google kept the phrase “Don’t be evil”.

Now, according to what can be seen in the history of the Internet, there have been changes in the code of conduct, and the phrase “Don’t be evil” has disappeared.

The latest version, dated May 4, shows the change that existed, with the (almost) complete removal of this reference.

There is only one final sentence, where we can read the presence of “Don’t be evil” and an advice/request to all employees: “And remember … don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think is not right – speak up!”

At a time when there are increasing concerns about user data, Google’s change of position may show that there are big changes happening inside the company.

Do you remember the WhatsApp message that could block the application and affect Android devices? Well, now according to several latest reports there is now a circular message circulating that has the ability to crash any iPhone.

iPhone Users Beware! The ‘Black Dot of Death’ Is Out To Get You

Do you remember the WhatsApp message that could block the application and affect Android devices? Well, according to several reports there is now a circular message that has the ability to block the iOS messaging app.

This threat has been dubbed ‘Black Dot of Death’ and affects iOS 11.3 and beta versions of iOS 11.4.

According to the Mashable channel, this “threat” was apparently created by the EverythingApplePro channel and just like the WhatsApp bug, the message includes Unicode text that is not visible to the user. Once you open the message, the Message app simply locks as you can see in the next video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fepqIO57f8

Closing the application does not solve the problem since, as a solution, the user will have to delete the message from another device (e.g. Mac). For those who have iPhones with 3D Touch, they can allow the app icon for a few seconds and then choose the “New Message” option and then delete the previous message.

Despite all the efforts on the part of the tech giant Apple, the truth is that iOS 11 has proven that it has several bugs and vulnerabilities. The tech giant Apple has made relatively quick updates available to address such issues, but there are still a number of bugs that tarnish the company’s image of Cupertino and negatively influence the experience of using the system.

According to the latest reports and rumours coming from South Korea, the South Korean giant Samsung could advance the presentation of the Galaxy S10 to the month of January and would announce its folding mobile at MWC 2019.

Samsung To Launch Galaxy S10; Codenamed ‘Beyond’

According to the rumours coming from South Korea, Samsung could advance the presentation of the Galaxy S10 to the month of January and would announce its folding mobile at MWC 2019.

This is stated by the sources of The Bell, who point out that with this movement the company intends, on the one hand, to anticipate the competition, and on the other to prevent its flagship products from dismantling each other.

Therefore, the calendar of presentations of new smartphones of Samsung for next year would be as follows: the launch of the Galaxy S10 would occur at CES 2019 in Las Vegas, which is celebrated between 8 and 11 January, while the announcement of the folding phone, popularly known as Galaxy X, would take place at the MWC in Barcelona from February 25 to 28.

It is still early to know the details of both terminals, although rumours have already been advancing some of the features that we could find in Samsung smartphones by 2019. The Samsung Galaxy S10 said it could integrate the fingerprint reader under the screen and 3D facial recognition, as well as a 5.8-inch Infinity Display for the S10 and 6.3 inches for the S10+. In addition, The Bell leaked yesterday the possible code name of the device, which would be “Beyond”.

As for the Galaxy X, Samsung’s folding mobile phone, the latest rumours indicated that the final design could be ready for next June. In its new report, The Bell reveals that the code name of this device is “Winner”, which replaces Valley, which was the name that the project received internally when it was launched there in 2015. Industry sources indicate that parts for the terminal would start arriving in November.

At the moment there is nothing firm and the South Korean giant Samsung has not made any confirmation, so we will have to wait to know if the date of presentation of the Galaxy S10 is going to advance and if finally, the folding mobile will be a reality at the beginning of next year.

Nokia X Video Leaked Revealing Its Design Before The Official Launch
Today we have evidence of the appearance of the Nokia X, as real hands-on video of the Nokia X leaked with the tech giant Apple’s flagship smartphone, of course, iPhone X-like notch. As earlier, we saw that the Finnish company Nokia itself has officially revealed its iPhone X like smartphone, of course, the Nokia X.

Nokia X Video Leaked Revealing Its Design Before The Official Launch

The Finnish company Nokia has already shown an advance of what it is capable of doing in the design section. The Nokia 8 Sirocco is an example of this because of the company’s history of the appellation.

However, today we have evidence of the appearance of many real photos of the Nokia X, model that appears with the tech giant Apple’s flagship smartphone, of course, iPhone X-like notch. A model that seems to be presented on May 16.

Since the launch of Nokia 6, The Finnish company, Nokia’s first smartphone with Android, we are all looking forward to the most powerful model in the range, Nokia’s premium smartphone. However, till to the date, the most we have found in the catalogue of the firm is the Nokia 8 Sirocco. The firm’s releases have really focused on mid-range models, the latest being the Nokia 7 Plus. Will Nokia X be the definitive model, the one we associated in the past as Nokia 9?


That statement can only be made when the presentation of the Nokia X occurs, which could be set for next May 16, as it shows some of the filtered images next to those of the smartphone itself.

Although some manufacturers differentiate themselves from the rest and apply smart designs to their smartphones, the truth is that the trend drags the vast majority to bet on conservative lines, based on models that at the time demonstrated an assured success. In this situation, and in full expansion of smartphones with screens with reduced frames, a designer wanted to capture in the form of Nokia X a somewhat different design that we went to show you on video.


The truth is that there is a great confusion about the new Nokia models since the blogosphere already assumed that the next model we would know was the Nokia X.

In the attached video you can see the real photos of the Nokia X, which let you see in great detail the design of the future Nokia smartphone. Among those details is the screen with a notch, as it had been rumoured during the last weeks.

A shiny finish also appears, more than likely due to the glass layer with which the brand will cover its casing. In that back part, a double camera appears, accompanied by an LED flash where apparently more than two diodes are shown. Also, a
fingerprint sensor with a circular section can be seen a little below.

Moreover, now if we talk about the specs and price of the device then it is expected to Snapdragon 636 SoC and MediaTek Helio P60, yes, according to the rumours the device may have two variants which could be priced at CNY 1599 (approx Rs 16,000) for the 4 GB RAM + 64GB
storage, while the other one will come with 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage that could be priced at CNY 1799 (approx $283 or N102,000).

I think Nigerians have the shortest memory span in the world. Just about 4 yrs ago we were shouting for the removal of PDP, fuel price was at an all time high. Now they are ready to go back to their former masters.
The truth is no political party can save Nigeria. We have to stand up as a people and say NO to all these recycling of old men. Till then dont expect things to get better, its only going to get worse.

This May Be The First Non-Google Smartphone To Receive Android P. We all know very well that in March the tech giant Google introduced the developer version of the new Android P and made it available for their smartphones. However, now according to the latest reports, this will be the first non-Google smartphone to receive the most latest version of the tech giant Google, of course, Android P.

This May Be The First Non-Google Smartphone To Receive Android P

It was in March that the tech giant Google introduced the developer version of the new Android P and made it available for their smartphones.

However, now it seems that the well-known Chinese smartphone manufacturer, of course, Xiaomi may now be the first brand to receive officially upgrade to this release, starting with Mi Mix 2S.

Android P was officially released in March, with the developer version being available to anyone who owns a compatible Google smartphone. While visually the system has not made any major changes, the tech giant Google continues to work on it in the background to further optimize it.

This new version of the operating system, although already known, should only reach the final version closer to the end of the year when the tech giant Google presents its new smartphones. Until then, this version will remain in testing phase, in the developer version, available to the existing smartphones of the American company.

However, without being expected, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S may be about to receive this update officially soon, becoming the first non-Google smartphone to receive this version of Android.

Announced in the official forum of MIUI, and in the meantime withdrawn, the announcement was made by the own brand without having been advanced great details. Among the various rumours, it is expected that this update will arrive on May 8 via OTA to users who have a Mi Mix 2S.

To prove the existence of this ROM, the heads of FunkyHuawei created a topic in the XDA forum proving the existence of Nightly of the official firmware of Android P for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S and making the links available for those interested to download and install.

After betting on the Android One project, where they Xiaomi promised to update their Mi A1 frequently, we began to see this commitment extended to other devices.

WhatsApp Co-Founder Quits Facebook
The most used instant messaging app, WhatsApp and the social network giant Facebook values never seemed totally in line. Hence, now according to the latest reports, the Co-Founder of the most used instant messaging app, WhatsApp quits Facebook after reported clashes over security.

WhatsApp Co-Founder Quits Facebook

The most used instant messaging app, WhatsApp and the social network giant Facebook values never seemed totally in line. While the app was taking steps to defend its privacy – adopting end-to-end encryption, for example – the social network always wanted more data about you to target ads.

So it’s not entirely surprising that Jan Koum, the co-founder and CEO of WhatsApp, has left the social network giant Facebook.

“It’s time to move on,” Koum writes on Facebook. “I’m taking the time to do things that I enjoy besides technology, like collecting rare air-cooled Porsches, taking care of my cars, and playing ultimate frisbee.”

Mark Zuckerberg replied in a comment in the same post. “I’m thankful … for everything you’ve taught me, including about encryption and its ability to grab the power of centralized systems and return it to people. These values will always be at the heart of WhatsApp. ”

Maybe it’s a bit hard to believe, though. According to the Washington Post, Koum left after misunderstandings with the Facebook administration involving user privacy, including cryptography.

WhatsApp was purchased in 2014 for $22 billion. At the time, Facebook promised that it would not place ads in the app.

However, a year and a half later, the social network pressed the app to change its terms of service to provide users’ phone numbers. That way, you could target ads more accurately, integrating this data into Facebook and Instagram profiles. (The European Union did not like that and fined Facebook $122 million.)

In addition, Koum was angered by executives who wanted to weaken the application’s encryption. The idea was to make it easier for business-oriented WhatsApp Business to be used, and to allow multiple members of a team to use the same account. This is how Facebook plans to make money from the service, which has 1.5 billion users and is free.

Sources tell TechCrunch that Koum wanted to leave the company a year ago, well before the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The other co-founder of WhatsApp, Brian Acton, left in September and invested $50 million in Signal, an app for encrypted messages and not only that, even he also joined the #DeleteFacebook campaign.

It is unclear who will be the next WhatsApp CEO. One name for the position is Neeraj Arora, who has been in the company since 2011, well before the acquisition by Facebook.

Android has a little-known feature, but very useful for anyone who is a fan of podcasts. Through the Google search and Google Assistant, the system helps you organize the episodes of the programs in which you signed up. Best of all, you do not need to install any applications.

To use the tool, just search for a certain program like “this American life podcast”. The search shows more information about the podcast and a list of the most recent episodes, which can be played at any time.

When you start listening to a podcast, the Google tool shows an icon in the upper-left corner of the screen. By selecting it, you can have access to an area with all of your signatures. There, you can also create a shortcut to be displayed on the home screen.

Like Stitcher and Pocket Casts, the Google player is also quite simple. It relies only on the most important functions, such as play and pause, and options to advance or rewind to an exact point of the episode. It also offers the option to download the programs for you to listen even without internet.

The player’s home screen shows episodes you have not yet finished, as well as suggestions based on genre and popularity among people who listen to the same podcasts as you.

Being inside the search platform, the tool can also be used on other Google devices. For example, it is possible to start an episode of the mobile and end it in Google Home.

There is no confirmation about a possible separate app launch for anyone who likes podcasts. However, it’s interesting to know that the tech giant Google is aware of the format. It remains to be seen whether the company will attempt to issue something similar on iOS, which already has a native service.

iPhone SE 2 To Ditch The 3.5mm Headphone Jack
According to the information published recently by a well-known blog, the presentation of the second version of the cheaper iPhone, I am talking about the iPhone SE 2 should happen next May, and not only that even rumours are pointing that iPhone SE 2 to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack.


iPhone SE 2 To Ditch The 3.5mm Headphone Jack

During the last few months, it has been speculating a lot about a possible iPhone SE 2. According to the information published yesterday by a well-known blog, the presentation of the second version of the cheaper iPhone should happen next May.
A more powerful iPhone SE



The information came as a result of a conversation between the Mac Otakara website and the makers of the iPhone structure. In addition, earlier this week Apple complied with various Euro/Asia regulatory procedures that usually precede the launch of new products.

The next big Apple event will take place on the first day of WWDC (June 4), but we may not have to wait so long to see the second generation of the iPhone SE.

According to reports, it is very likely that the second generation of the iPhone SE will be introduced in May and come equipped with a 4-inch screen similar to the iPhone 5. In addition, it is expected to bring the A10 Fusion processor used in the iPhone 7 and that is about 40% faster than the A9 processor that is present in the current iPhone SE.

Goodbye, 3.5mm jack?

The manufacturer of the body of the possible iPhone SE 2 also said that the new model should not have a headphone jack. The tech giant Apple abandoned the headset entry on the iPhone 7 but, so far, is still present on the iPhone SE. However, it seems that with this change, the tech giant Apple will be able to add resistance to water and dust.

In addition, more rumours point to the iPhone SE comes equipped with technology to support wireless charging. However, here there are still some doubts. Supposedly, the iPhone SE is a low-cost iPhone and to keep the price down, Apple should leave out some features that distinguish it from the top range that are currently available.
Conclusion

The famous analyst at KGI Securities Ming-Chi Kuo does not predict the existence of wireless charging on the new iPhone SE 2. Instead, bet on the appearance of a more powerful and affordable iPhone. At the end of the day, this is the goal with the current iPhone SE.

If the rumours are true and if Apple actually introduces a new iPhone SE in May, we should hear more news briefly. In addition, with WWDC right there on the door, we should also have software updates on all Apple brand platforms and some hardware news.

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

Apple Dominates Global Smartphone Profits
When the tech giant Apple released its financial results, we noticed that it sold fewer smartphones in the fourth quarter, but made a record profit, especially due to the iPhone X, of course, the flagship smartphone of the tech giant Apple.

Apple Dominates Global Smartphone Profits

When the tech giant Apple released its financial results, we noticed that it sold fewer smartphones in the fourth quarter, but made a record profit – especially due to the iPhone X.

In fact, according to Counterpoint Research, the tech giant Apple dominated 86% of the mobile phone market profit in the fourth quarter. Only the iPhone X accounts for 35% of the total.

It may seem easy to make a big profit from a smartphone that costs from $999 in the US and Rs. 66,000 in India. However, it could have stalled due to the high price, the absence of Touch ID, and design with the notch.

“The iPhone X has surpassed our expectations and has been our best selling iPhone every week since it hit the market in November,” Tim Cook said in February.

Among the 10 smartphones that generated more profit, 8 are from the tech giant Apple; the others are Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, from the South Korean giant Samsung. They account for 90% of total profits in this market.


The other 10% is divided among a number of manufacturers, including LG, Motorola, Asus and Sony, as well as Chinese companies like Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo and Vivo – which are some of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world.

If a company goes for years without making a profit, one hour it gives up the market. HTC, for example, has sold part of its smartphone division to the tech giant Google and can launch its latest flagship this year.

LG comes bothering losses in the mobile division and wants to change that with a new flagship – the G7 thinq – and faster updates for Android. Motorola has put all its effort hard worldwide to achieve more relevance in the global market.

But, according to Counterpoint Research, “the global smartphone market has peaked; replacement cycles are longer, and major manufacturers are now under pressure to make a profit.”

What to do? Sell more premium smartphones, which justify a higher price. Summed up, Chinese manufacturers made a profit of $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter, boosted by mid-range and high-end handsets. Huawei, Oppo and Vivo “are now seeking to increase the price range.”

Opera’s VPN solution for mobile devices was launched in 2016 and promised users a free and very important service without any registration. Available for iOS and later for Android, which quickly captivated users.

The end of Opera VPN for Android and iOS

Now, with 2 years of use, Opera has decided to shut down its VPN service, without giving any explanation or justification to users. It was limited to announcing it and giving April 30 the deadline for its use. Probably related to the purchase of SurfEasy Inc. by Opera in 2016.

Being a free proposal, Opera VPN also had the advantage of giving the user the possibility to choose the country where it would be virtually and had no traffic limitation.

In addition to the free version, Opera VPN was also available in a paid version, VPN Gold, which allowed to choose the country of origin of the traffic and offered a greater speed of navigation.
Opera’s compensation for its users

To compensate users of this paid version Opera will offer 1 year of the service of VPN SurfEasy. Users of the free version of Opera VPN receive an 80% discount on SurfEasy services.

Thus comes to an end one of the most used VPNs in mobile systems, mainly by the price factor. Opera had already threatened before it was going to remove its app and its service, but now realized what no user wanted, the end of Opera VPN.

Elon Musk Replaces Robots With Human Workers At Tesla Factory
The year 2018 is presenting some challenges for Tesla. In addition to dealing with a fatal accident involving its car, the company has left some investors impatient. They are unhappy with noncompliance with the production targets for Model 3, the company’s first mass-produced car.

According to Elon Musk, the biggest problem has been precisely the differential of Tesla: automation. To improve the situation, the entrepreneur took control of production and is replacing many of his robots with human beings. The company understood that over-reliance on automation was holding back work.

An example is the network of belts to carry parts. According to Musk, it was not working the best way and was discarded. With the help of human workers, the company expects to increase its weekly production of Model 3, which today is just over 2 thousand units.

At an investor meeting, Tesla kept its promise to manufacture 5,000 Model 3 per week by the end of the second quarter. The car is touted as the future of the company since it can make the revenue increase exponentially because of its more affordable price.

“I’m definitely under stress, so if I pretend I’m not under stress, I’ll be clear, I’m definitely under stress,” Musk said in an interview with CBS News.



The businessman said he was sleeping several nights at the Tesla factory. “When things get really intense, I do not have time to go home, shower and change, so I sleep here,” he said, pointing to a couch in a boardroom.
