Phones / Blackberry, Is Making A Comeback As A Software Company by TechPill: 10:58pm On Sep 28, 2017
Yes, blackberry is making a come back as a software company. Anytime you think of dead companies walking, BlackBerry was clearly one that came to mind, but under the leadership of CEO John Chen, the company is actually making a comeback as a software company focused on security, and it’s latest quarterly earnings report suggests the pivot is working plendidly.

[img]https://3.bp..com/-wctq2t9INsA/Wc1ou8NErrI/AAAAAAAAB_I/c9-X2qdkhj8mkQf8oqpkaEO6MYd_fdnjgCLcBGAs/s1600/Blackberry-software-company.jpg[/img]

It seems BlackBerry is now in the right direction, who could have thought the company will rise again five years ago when the company was left for dead after its phone business went in the toilet, the victim of competition from iPhone and Android phones. Now, Blackberry is set to regain it glory back as a software company.

According to published reports, The company reported revenue of $249 million, which shattered analyst’s expectations of $220 million. The surge was led by record software revenue, which came in at $996 million, a year-over-year increase of 26 percent. The company also reported record gross margins of 76 percent up from 67% last quarter and 62% a year ago.

Back in November 2013 when Chen took over the company as the CEO, most people thinks he was on a fool's errands trying to save a company that has little or no chance in the smartphone market. Now that has chanced. How did he do it? When Chen took over, the one thing the company had was some cash on hand from its glory days as a popular handset maker. Chen has used that cash for strategic purchases that have helped redefine the company.

When looking the company from a phone perspective, you will notice that the company is no where to be fund, compared to the giant OEMs out there, the likes of Samsung, Apple, etc. But Chen obviously saw a way forward for the company and he began to reshape it slowly as software company.

The idea is that close friends will have specially made videos showcasing your time together – much like Facebook’s other videos. It’s not clear how Facebook determines what a ‘close friend’ is, but it will at least go a bit beyond an empty ‘hbd.’ You can learn how to use Facebook Birthday donations features with ease.

It has more than 2,997,026,945 views presently and still counting. This video was uploaded in January, which means it took just seven months for this video to break the standing record.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk

Earlier this month, Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” from Furious 7 which was released since 2015 stole the title from Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” which had held the record since 2012. Which means, Khalifa got to wear the most-viewed crown for less than a month. Now, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” is the new King.

What this tells us is that “Despacito” is extremely popular, not only does it gain most-view in video, it also the most-view track of all time. Its for sure this record will keep happening and the stream will continue to grow as well.

There are several option to choose from when it comes to smartphone choice, several brands are coming out with a top notch innovation smartphones so much that the market now has two side; either you buy the much expensive one or you get the budget smartphone, This all depends on your choice. The Bluboo S8 cost only $90/140 that's about N28,325/N44,062 compare to the Galaxy S8 that cost N207,724. Why not get the same features with 'shikini' money. Lol!

The Bluboo has just announced a yet another top-notch smartphone, dubbed Bluboo S8. The device will come in three variants; the normal Bluboo S8, S8 Lite and S8 Plus, and will come with different RAM and storage. The Bluboo S8 has 3GB RAM/32GB internal storage, Bluboo S8 Lite has 1GB RAM/16GB internal storage while the Bluboo S8 Plus has gigantic 6GB RAM/128 internal storage.

We all know that the full screen models of smartphones are becoming more popular these days, and more phone manufacturers are moving towards the full-screen handset. Now Bluboo is out with that superb Galaxy S8 look-alike smartphone. The Bluboo S8 seems to have the same features and more when compare with the Galaxy S8.

Let face the facts, some time, we over hype the Samsung smartphone or other top brands, especially in Nigeria. Most time, what the Samsung Galaxy device can do, other brands can do more or better. let take the Bluboo S8 for example, it has the same and more feature than the Galaxy S8; there is a 16MP camera with Depth of Field - DSLR autofocus, More RAM, more battery etc. which you can not find in the Galaxy S8.

Now, i am not saying the Galaxy S8 is not a top-notch device, infact the company invest heavily on hardware to bring out the S8. But If you don't want to waste your money or rather can not afford the Galaxy S8, And you want to have that same feel and features, then this device is for you.

Computers / Re: Microsoft Paint Is Dead, But It Won't Be Forgotten by TechPill: 12:44am On Jul 25, 2017
Update: Microsoft has now said that it won't kill the app, only remove it from installs of Windows. Instead, people will have to go into the Windows app store and download it for free, it said. Below is Microsoft words:

"Today, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support and nostalgia around MS Paint," it wrote in a blog post. "If there’s anything we learned, it’s that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of fans. It’s been amazing to see so much love for our trusty old app."

Computers / Microsoft Paint Is Dead, But It Won't Be Forgotten by TechPill: 12:40am On Jul 25, 2017
Microsoft will be releasing the long-awaited Fall Creators Edition of Windows 10, later this year. technically that should be a good news right? but there is a take. Microsoft has listed Paint as "deprecated" in a hidden page in the nether region of its website, as of the release of the Fall Creator Edition.

According to the company, the word Deprecation means that Microsoft does not intend to throw any more resources at developing or maintaining the program, essentially putting it on death row. Oh No! did i hear you say that? well, we know it’s hard to deny the importance of the program as many users’ first interaction with creating images on a computer. Though paint is dead, at least the Microsoft Fall Creator Edition will come with a significant huge update that will make your computer work faster and smarter.

We all know that Microsoft paint is as old as windows, it came along windows 1.0 way back in 1985,
and since then users have grown to embrace the limited set of features the image editor had to offer. Now, it is the end of the road for the Microsoft Paint. RIP Paint 1985-2017.

But if you noticed, last year, Microsoft released an update of a newer version of paint called Paint 3D, It look great though but the main features of that update is to let you create virtually-rich 3D designs. Now that paint is dead, Microsoft will be putting all its efforts toward the Paint 3D. Since the company wants to position the windows 10 as a platform for creativity, its only logical and wise to shift the attention to the more potent Paint 3D over the old-school Paint.

Like i said earlier, Paint being deprecated doesn't mean it is gone for good yet, there is not time or date as to when Microsoft will remove the program completely but it's sad that one day, it will disappear from our computers, just like how Microsoft Pinball Arcade broke our hearts, all those years ago.

What is your opinion?
Phones / Vivo Beats Apple To An Under-display Fingerprint Scanner by TechPill: 5:31pm On Jun 28, 2017
Vivo has just announced a device that has under-display finger print sensor in it, beating Apple to its game and becoming the first company to launch such innovation on a smartphone. Before now, Fingerprint sensor under glass might be easy to do but under the thickness of the glass plus display, is something nobody is yet to master in a production scale.

The new generation sensor installed on Vivo prototype smartphone was been tested today by Engadget's Richard Lai who got to test it out at a trade show in Shanghai. The sensor, is the latest ultrasonic fingerprint sensor from Qualcomm that now works through OLED display stacks up to 1.2mm thick, up to 0.8mm of cover glass, or up to 0.65mm of aluminum (an increase from 0.4mm for both glass or metal).



Unlike other capacitive fingerprint sensors we find on phones today, the new under-display fingerprint scanner work when under water or even when your hand is greasy. But there is a rub though; after the test, here is what Lia observed:

“I found the fingerprint recognition speed to be noticeably slower -- about one second between first touch and entering home screen -- than the near-instantaneous unlock that I'm used to on most recent smartphones.”

While Samsung failed to install the fingerprint sensor under the Galaxy S8, and Apple yet to implement theirs on the up coming all-screen tenth anniversary iPhone 8, Vivo- a Chinese company has step up their games to be the first company to break this barrier.

If this new Qualcomm fingerprint sensor is truly slow as it were, then it will be a tradeoff for Apple's next flagship phone, either Apple offer users a slow under-display fingerprint sensor or they offer a fast sensor at the back of the device. Apple will have to make that decision, but it will be wise for Apple to listen to its user opinion to where the fingerprint scanner is to be located.
