WebmastersThe New Whatsapp Message That Can Crash Your App And Phone by truekingmike(op): 3:23pm On Aug 30, 2018
A bug is being forwarded via WhatsApp messages which when tapped, could send not just the Android app crashing but possibly even the entire Android device as well, the media reported.


"As with any message bomb, it involves sending and receiving a specially crafted message with hidden symbols in-between spaces. Tapping on a portion of the text will basically make the app 'expand' the hidden symbols, potentially overloading the app and even the OS," SlashGear reported on Sunday (May 6).


"There seem to be two variants of this WhatsApp message being forwarded. One involves an ominous black dot that comes with a warning on what will happen if you tap on it which most curious cats will do anyway," the report added.

“If you touch the black point then your WhatsApp will hang”. The line is followed by a 'Black dot' in the next line and the words "t-touch here". Upon touching the black icon, the app freezes. As per reports, the message uses an RLM (right-to-left mark) as opposed to WhatsApp's Left-to-Right format, which causes the app to crash. The message is said to affect both Android and iOS.


Another "message bomb" which is causing the messaging platform to crash is more "nefarious, looks too innocent" and does not come with a warning. The message includes special characters followed by an emoji that do not display visibly but are used to change text behaviour. The message, containing the text "This is very interesting!" is followed by a crying laughing emoji at the end. As per a Reddit user, the message is so heavy that it is crashing the smartphone upon copying and pasting on another chat box. The string of characters, leading to the enormous size of the message is what is expected to be crashing the app.


The problem of WhatsApp being crashed by some forwarded messages has been experienced since long, with such messages repeatedly taking new forms. Such messages or "message bombs" are not limited to Android. Even iMessage is not immune to bugs that could send the app crashing.


WhatsApp has not commented on the potentially disruptive bug so far.
Foreign AffairsUS Homeless Man Sues Couple Over $400,000 Fundraiser Money by truekingmike(op): 3:06pm On Aug 30, 2018
A homeless man is suing a US couple who raised more than $400,000 (£307,000) to help him, alleging they used the funds as their own "piggy bank".

Johnny Bobbitt went viral last year when he gave his last $20 to Kate McClure when her car ran out of petrol.

Ms McClure and her boyfriend Mark D'Amico started an online fundraiser for him, which drew contributions from over 14,000 donors.

The legal action - alleging fraud and conspiracy - was filed on Tuesday.


Lawyers for the 35-year-old wrote in documents filed in Mount Holly - a New Jersey suburb of Philadelphia - that the couple had used the GoFundMe account they set up for Mr Bobbitt "to fund a lifestyle that they could not otherwise afford".

In recent interviews, Mr Bobbitt said Ms McClure, 28, and Mr D'Amico, 39, had recently paid for trips to Las Vegas and Florida, and a new BMW.

Mr D'Amico works as a carpenter and Ms McClure is a receptionist for the New Jersey Department of Transportation, according to local media.

A judge is set to hear the case on Thursday.

A representative for the civil court told the BBC the couple do not have an attorney listed on record.


Last week, Ms McClure told the Philadelphia Inquirer she felt frustrated and betrayed, and that she still wished to help Mr Bobbitt.

"I don't want to lose my job over this," she tearfully told the newspaper.

After wildly surpassing their original fundraising goal of $10,000, the couple had told their online supporters the money would go to two financial trusts for Mr Bobbitt, as well as a lawyer and a financial adviser to help him manage all the money.

They gave him clothing, allowed him to park his new camper outside their home, but reportedly later asked him to leave.

Mr Bobbitt says the couple sold his camper, gambled away some of his money, and have declined to provide him with any financial records.

The couple claims he once blew $25,000 on drugs in just 13 days.

"Every dollar he ever touched was used for drugs," Mr D'Amico told NBC in a nationally televised interview on Monday.

He added that he would be "absolutely" willing to allow an accountant to review financial statements to determine how the money was used, and what remains.

Mr Bobbitt, a US Marine veteran, is now back living on the streets with his younger brother.

In an interview with the Inquirer, he said begging for change to buy drugs was better than trying to get money from Mr D'Amico and Ms McClure.

Jacqueline Promislo, a lawyer for Mr Bobbitt, told the BBC she took the case pro bono to make sure he would be able to benefit from the charity of thousands of people "so he could not be homeless again".

Ms Promislo said her client estimates the couple did spend about $75,000 on his care.

During the NBC interview Mr D'Amico said about $150,000 remains.

Ms Promislo said her office hoped to avoid going to court.

"It's not the couple's money to decide where it goes," she said.

"Every single person I have heard from, that has emailed or called, is extremely upset and very much want Johnny Bobbitt to receive the money they gave to him."

A spokesman for GoFundMe says it "is looking into the claims of misuse".

"We will work to ensure that Johnny receives the help he deserves and that the donors' intentions are honoured," the spokesman added.

Technology MarketFacebook Watch Video Service Launches Worldwide by truekingmike(op): 2:37pm On Aug 30, 2018
Facebook's Watch video-streaming service is rolling out worldwide, just over a year after its US launch.
Users will be able to choose from a range of shows - from both established brands and new players - and have the ability to view clips saved from their News Feeds.
The firm plans to allow all content creators to feature advertising breaks, so long as they hit certain metrics.
Until now, only select publishers had been given the opportunity.
To begin with, only videos shown to audiences in the UK, US, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand will have this facility.
The revenue split will be 55% to the creators and 45% to Facebook.
Facebook had intended to reveal the roll-out on Wednesday, but brought forward the announcement after details leaked. As a consequence, some users may not be able to access its pages yet.
Unaware audience
Watch is often portrayed as a rival to Google's YouTube, but it also competes for attention against traditional TV channels as well as online outlets including Netflix, Amazon Video, BBC iPlayer and Facebook's own Instagram TV.
A study published last week suggests that it only had niche appeal in its first year in the US.
Of 1,632 adult Facebook users questioned, 50% had never heard of Watch, while 24% said they were aware of the on-demand service but had never used it, according to the Diffusion Group.
Only 14% told the market research firm that they used it at least once a week.
Another report noted that although some Watch shows had attracted audiences numbering in their millions, they often struggled to retain them.
"This seems to be a pattern with most Facebook Watch shows: lots of people sample, few return," wrote Verne Gay for Newsday.
Even so, some big name stars have been involved in original programming made for the platform.
They include:
Jada Pinkett Smith, who headlines the talk show Red Table Talk
Elizabeth Olsen, who stars in the forthcoming drama Sorry For Your Loss about a woman grieving for her husband
Bear Grylls, the British adventurer, who hosts a reality show Face the Wild
ABC, Fox News, Vice and Buzzfeed are among others who have made content for the service.
Watch together
Facebook claims that its advantage against other platforms is the ways Watch helps viewers interact with others.
"It is built on the notion that watching video doesn't have to be a passive experience," explained Fidji Simo, Facebook's vice-president of video.
"You can have a two-way conversation about the content with friends, other fans or even the creators themselves."
She added that a Watch Party feature lets users co-ordinate themselves to watch a show together, while an Interactivity Platform allows creators to run polls, challenges and quizzes to boost engagement.
Facebook says the most common feedback it had from creators over the past year was a call for it to allow more of them to include ad breaks.
To qualify publishers must:
have created videos lasting longer than three minutes
have attracted more than 30,000 viewers who stayed for more than one minute when watching the content over the past two months
have more than 10,000 followers
be located in one of the countries where the ad break facility is available
One industry watcher predicted the terms would appeal to established independent video-makers, some of whom have been concerned at the way Google's YouTube has run its own advertising programme.
"For a very long time YouTube had the monopoly on online video when it came to offering creators a way to make money from adverts," commented Alex Brinnand, editor of TenEighty magazine.
"And for a while now, many creators have been looking for other potential revenue streams - some have started using [Amazon's] Twitch for example.
"So, this will be welcomed as it provides further options."
Facebook said that a second wave of countries - including France, Germany, Norway, Mexico and Thailand would receive ad breaks in September.

BusinessRe: COCA COLA: How They Are Killing Us Slowly In Nigeria by truekingmike(m): 2:50pm On Mar 18, 2017
gentlekeny:
They are killing us slowly in Nigeria, and we do not know.
Apparently, for 9 years, a civil law case has been going on against Coca Cola Bottling Company, manufacturers of Fanta and Sprite, that impacts directly on our health and lives.

Let me try and paraphrase it, so una no go sleep off.
Basically, one Dr Fijabi, had in 2007, bought about N12 million worth of Fanta and Sprite drinks from Coca Cola Ltd, and exported same to the United Kingdom.

However, on reaching England, under Health and Safety regulations, the authorities tested the products and found them to contain "poisonous levels of Benzoic Acid and Sunset addictives" and were therefore declared "unfit for human consumption".

The whole export consignment was consequently destroyed.
Dr Fijabi therefore, sued Coca Cola for Negligence, breach of duty of care to its customers, and loss of earnings.
Fine.

Now comes the interesting part, so sit your yansh well :

The Almighty Coca Cola offered only one defence in court :
(1)That Mr Fijabi did not tell them he was going to Export the Fanta and Sprite to England;
(2)That they were indeed manufactured "FOR LOCAL CONSUMPTION ONLY."
Whathuh
For local consumption?

Make I continue?? Hmmmmmmmmmm
So what Coca Cola Bottling Company is telling us, is that,
If they knew the Fanta and Sprite were to be exported to England, they would not have added so much poisonous acid;
But for the people of Nigeria, it is normal to poison us.
Chikena! Abasi!! Allah!!!!

That is the official courtroom statement of Coca Cola Bottling Company of Nigeria.
within the week, The Lagos High Court under Justice Adedayo Oyebanji, was 'crying' when She gave judgement against Coca Cola, declaring them callous and negligent.

She 'cursed the parents' of NAFDAC for not carrying out proper laboratory checks on 'minerals' production in Nigeria.
Cancer was listed as one of the ailments that the present Fanta and sprite can cause, especially if taken with Vitamin C tablets.
She therefore, ordered Coca Cola to henceforth add a WRITTEN WARNING on Fanta and Sprite bottles that

"this product must not be taken with Vitamin C."

Once again, Oyinbo has come to our rescue.
This is stuff you people in Nigeria should concern yourselves about,
Not whether Dollar has gone up or down.
here's the thing concerning the POISONING ISSUE ITZ THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE (TEMPERATURE) for example food rotten easily with Nigerian temperature if not refrigerated Buh UK's weather iz totally diff food could last5-6 day without being refrigerated #ND I THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO do WHAT THEY DID TO LaCASERA DRINK
