Phones / Apple Wants To Acquire Jay-z's Tidal Music Service by TechPill: 1:38am On Jul 01, 2016
Apple is reportedly considering an acquisition of Tidal. A music streaming service owned by rapper, producer and general mogul Jay Z.

Tidal was launched in 2014, focusing on high quality streaming audio service. And has since then maintain and secured exclusive streaming rights on high profile albums in order to compete with more larger rivals like Spotify and Apple's own Apple music service.

According to Wall Street Journal, Apple has been sniffing around with an interest to acquire Tidal to add it to its Portfolio. The terms of the rumor and whether the deal will pull through is yet unknown but the talk is still "ongoing" between the two side. Though Tidal executive denies the rumor when questioned by the Journal.

The major reason why Apple is really interested in Tidal is the fact that most high profiled artist like Kanye West, Madonna etc. and of course Beyonce now choose to use Tidal music service to launched their latest exclusive material rather than rivals such as Apple Music or Spotify.

Having said that, Tidal also offers high audio quality than many alternatives service. With $20/month subscription you will get a high quality audio tracks though you can get a cheaper $10/month subscription plan with a low quality playback.

However, there is an ongoing dispute between Apple and Spotify. Spotify is claiming that Apple recently rejected the company's IOS app update because spotify choose to remove the option for in-app subscription. Insisting that Apple is "causing grave harm" to both its business and customers.

Are you Apple Fans? what's you say on the Apple/Spotify dispute And the Acquisition.

Phones / Whatsapp Users Are Making 100 Million Calls Everyday by TechPill: 3:28am On Jun 25, 2016
WhatsApp users are making 100 million calls everyday, the company has announced. Most users are now getting familiar and feel safe using the whatsApp calling feature which was added months ago, Maybe due to the End-to end encryption feature which now make whatsapp users feel safe and secured.

Just for those who are new to this, if any, the whatsapp calling feature allows you to make calls to another whatsapp users without paying a dime to your network provider instead it uses your data or wi-fi to make the call. And of course you must have a very good Internet network to do that.

Most folks are now ditching their phone dedicated voice calling feature by using apps like Whatsapp and Skype for numerous reasons. but some of the reasons revolved around end-to-end encryption, cheaper rate, superb call quality, easy group calling, etc.

In a blog post this week, Whatsapp announced that there are 100 million voice calls which take place on whatsapp everyday, which amount to 1,100 calls every second, that's huge right?

Side note, most Africa countries are not really using the whatsapp calling features due to the poor internet network. In Nigeria for example, most telecommunication companies do have a snail like internet speed which are only good for opening webpages not to talk of using an app for calling over the network. So only a tiny fraction of the 100 million whatsapp call made everyday belong to Africa.

Are you using the Whatsapp calling feature? What network? Tell us your experience.

Phones / Microsoft Wants To Get Into Weed Business by TechPill: 2:34pm On Jun 18, 2016
Microsoft has announced that they want to move into legal weed business, they will be partnering with KIND financial- A Los Angeles software based marijuana start Up company that allow folks who sell weed legally to run their business making sure all rules that governs the business is thoroughly followed religiously.

Microsoft job in the weed business is to provide the tool AZURE- A software that will be use to track all this business from "seed to sale tracking" to ensure the companies are following the rules.

Having said that, do note that Marijuana is legal in some state in the US for medical and recreational purposes. Microsoft will be the first major tech company that has tapped into this lucrative business. Here is what KIND has to say:


“The goal of this relationship is to leverage each company’s resources to provide State, County, and Municipalities with purpose built solutions for track and trace (‘seed to sale’ in the cannabis industry) Technology.” Kind said in the statement.

Though many tech companies (e.g Yahoo) has tried to be in the business, many have shied away from the Marijuana business because of crisis here and there. So this seems to be a big deal for Microsoft knowing fully well the road of the marijuana business is so narrow.

Phones / Man Stole 19 Iphones From Apple Store By Dressing Like An Employee by TechPill: 3:30am On Jun 11, 2016
The same incident happened some weeks back when a woman disguise as an Apple worker and stole eight phone from the store on Feb 16. Last week, this same technique was used but this time it was neatly done by two men.

Last week, the police in New Yoke reported that two thieves managed to steal 19 Iphones from Apple Store simply by dressing like employees. According to DNAinfo, the thief dressed exactly like Apple's own workers walked into the electronic repair room of SOHO store, grabbed 19 iphones worth $16,130 and gave it to an accomplice who hide them under his shirt. They both walked out of the store.

Mainly looking at the scenario, The thieves obviously has an insider who gave them such info as to where the spared iphones are located or they probably have been studying the in and out of the store for quite some time because it takes someone to know the layer of a store before you can confidently walked to specific place where the spare iphones are kept right ?

A source from the store told the post that "nobody will question" an unfamiliar face as long as they are wearing a familiar shirt.

So what your opinion on this. Do you think it's an inside job?

As if that was not enough Nick Lee has succeeded in bringing Android OS to Iphone which is now trending online. All you need is a 3D printed smartphone case to make it work.

According to Tendigi, Lee clone an AOSP- An android open source project and make an Android Marshmallow. He then 3D printed an iPhone-sized enclosure found on Thinkgiverse. He combined the board, a boost converter, a battery, and resistor to make a not too heavy case .

Phones / Facebook Wants To Start Encrypting Your Chats by TechPill: 5:31am On Jun 05, 2016
In April this year, WhatsApp- Facebook owned messaging app introduced an end-to-end encryption which make you secure during conversions without any third-party interfering or viewing your private chat either by Facebook or any government.

According to The Guardian, Facebook is planning to roll out end-to-end encryption on its messenger app -"Facebook Messenger" later this year but this time it will be an opt-in features, what this means is that you will have to decide to use the feature or not depending on your choice.

Facebook Messenger users will be presented with the option to either end-to-end encrypt their messages or get a smarter messaging chat. Though Engineers at both Google and Facebook predict that messenger users will rather prefer to opt-in to a smarter chat option than a private one. But not every one will agree though. Do you agree to that?

"I just object to the opt-in default for what could be millions of users as they discuss politics, their love life, health concerns, and other topics meant to be private," Open Crypto Audit Project co-director and researcher Kenneth White said

Having said that, When an End-to-end is turned on, only people on either side of the of the conversations that can decrypt messages, which means neither authorities or Facebook will be able to decipher them.

So an end-to-end encrypted Facebook messenger or a smarter chat messenger which one will you opt-in for?

Phones / Facebook Is Forcing Android Users To Download Messenger App For Conversations by TechPill: 12:50pm On Jun 04, 2016
It has been two years now since Facebook has decided to remove the chat feature from it smartphone app, instead of letting users to download a single app for all of their facebooking tasks, now the company is forcing users to use their stand alone messaging app called "Facebook messenger".

Despite this, user has been able to use the Facebook mobile site page to chat but Facebook has also tips that will be coming to an end soon.

Lot of Facebook user complained of the app draining battery so fast, therefore making them to uninstall the app and accessing Facebook mobile site to chat and update status. But Facebook is making it even more harder to for users to chat on mobile site, making sure the Facebook app will be your only option.

Most android users are already getting notifications saying
"Soon you'll only be able to view your messages from Messenger."

And some android user has not completely be able to use the chat function to send messages. When they try to open a conversation, they are being directed to the Google PlayStore to download Facebook Messenger.

Currently, IOS user seems to be a bit lucky for now, they were still able to send messages via the Facebook mobile site but its only a matter of time, they too will be given the same treatment.

The only work around right now is for you to download a Third-party app to handle your chat or you browse the desktop version on your phone

Can you still access your Facebook chat via mobile site? use the comment box below

Phones / Apple Sued By California Institute Of Technology For Violating Its Wi-fi Patents by TechPill: 4:13am On May 31, 2016
Apple is being sued by California Institute of Technology also known as Caltech for using Wi-fi chips that infringe on the university patents.

The university also argues that Apple intentionally used its patented technology in almost all of its product starting from Iphone 5, in a lawsuit filed last Thursday. Caltech want to recover damages from the infringement and also block sales of those products that infringe on the university's patent.

According to Caltech, the patents are integer to 802.11n and 802.11ac Wi-Fi, which are the most updated standards. The two integer allow faster data transmission and also simplify the hardware needed to offer Wifi in the process.

In Macrumors post, Broadcom was also sued, infact they are the major target, Broadcom is the company that create Wi-Fi chips used on Iphones, Macbook and other Apple products. Apple been Broadcom's biggest customers that represent about 14% of the company's revenue was looped as a result of this.

Though this is not the first time Apple will run into trouble regarding patents infringement, last year similar issue occur with the university of Wisconsin-Madison which result Apple paying a huge sum of $234 million for infringing a patent regarding processor performance to the university.

Do you think this should affect Apple? knowing fully well that Apple is just a Customer to Broadcom who created the Wi-Fi chips Apple depend on.

The popular Opera browser we all know is about to be acquired by a Chinese company. The company share holders voted in favor of the deal.

According to Techcrunch, The opera browser will be sold for nothing less than $1.2 Billion but for the deal to be completed they will have to wait for the approval from the authorities in China and Norway. According to Opera CEO Lars Boilesen and CTO Håkon Wium claims the decision isn't from them. Below is his exact words:

“I have been working for Opera since ’99, Håkon ’98,” Boilesen said. “He’s No. 8; I’m No. 16. We’ve been with Opera for many years. We got listed on the Stockholm stock exchange in 2004. So basically, the shareholders — they decided to initiate this process. It was kind of their decision. It wasn’t our decision.”
Opera Senior staff disclosed that this decision is made by the entire shareholders, from about 90.6 percent of the outstanding share capital and 90.9 percent of the votes in the company have approved the acquisition and this will not stop the company from improving and adding new feature to the Opera mobile and PC version for now.
