Thanks, It's about time for nollywood to make a comeback.
Yeah. And if they can find a way to put those 100 films a year directors out of work, all the better.

Kelvindwaplord:

am not tryn to discourage u. I'm just opening ur eyes to the bitter truth about tecno

Madam , do u knw why samsung's phones are expensive??. Coz they are of high quality and accepted worldwide. I double dare tecno to take their phantom a+ to america and lets see if they'ld even make up to 200 sales.. Its only in nigeria that u'ld hear of tecno dats coz they know nigerians are ignorant and they like #awuuf. They dont like to spend money on good things. always looking for a way to manipulate things and pay less for a greater value.


BOTTOM LINE :

If You're Going For Quality Then Get A Samsung , Sony Or HTC Phone.

If You're Going For Price Then You Can Manage A Tecno Phone.

SAMSUNG , HTC , SONY Are For Men.

TECNO Is For Boys.


#i Rest My Case!
I really hate generalisations, like 'Nigerians are ignorant'. Excuse me, speak for your self.

You might find this hard to believe but I actually know HTC ONE, S3, S4, Z, Z1, and G2 are better than my A+, like d'uh. But some people don't have 90k to spend on a phone @ once, and since our useless networks don't seem to know what contracts are, a lot of people are stuck buying budget devices.

PS: thunder fire anybody that suggests s duos, galaxy y or any other useless 'budget' device Sammy makes.

PPS: contact me on winter0104coming@gmail.com to help me transition from a boy into a man like you.

Dude I stopped watching Game of Thrones in season 2. Is winter still coming? It hasn't arrived since?

LOL. Winter has arrived. Grand Maester Pycellle announced news from the citadel in season 3 that the summer was now officially over.

But seriously the series is very far from being over what with HBO's slow schedule. And the writer of the books being lazy.

This New nollywood seems to be going places, time to get with the times. I especially like Nse, Joseph and Linda. Weird thing is I've not seen any OC movie and the guy has been getting rave reviews.

Better earmark 5 nollywood cinema slots for 2014.

I go every other year. Went last year. Going next year Christmas. I swear the village is fun except for the no 3g services. But I counter balance that by going with my laptop and pad. They treat you like royalty. With correct pounded yam and egusi.

Theben: Good development. This is exactly how the industrial revolution started in China. Early in the 80s, the chinese closed their borders and ceased the importation of goods from any other country. They believed they're are capable of producing all they needed to survive.

Despite starting with production of fake products, they kept improving on their imperfection. And today, we all can withness the immense changes the decision of 30 years ago brought to the chinese.

Jonathan has taken a good step, and i hope he can go further by totally closing the border from the importation of goods we're capable of producing.

You know what China has had for ages. Constant Power. If apple had to buy big Generators to run there factories in China they wouldn't be so successful. The priorities of the government should be on creating an enabling environment for businesses to run. Once they have that, the capitalists will take care of the rest.

Seriously people, there is no way Nokia are going to make an Android device. If in the very unlikely scenario they do make one, sign me up.

I personally, like a lot of people on this thread don't think there is anything wrong with the President changing his mind. Like a seemingly intelligent guy said on the frontpage; let the polls decide.

The only thing we can pray and hope for is that INEC is truly independent.

Computers / Re: Share Your First Time Computer Experience by winteriscoming: 1:39pm On Dec 14, 2013
JUO: I started with 286 cpu the speed was 50mghz, hdd 100mb, ram 8mb. windows 3.1 then computers don't boot to desktop.
Our uncle came with this thing from abroad (laptop). He was using it without light we were all amazed, how can a device work without light. One day he left this thing on the table and we managed to put it on and off. When he came back and said somebody touched the thing to us na TV we all denied unknowingly to us if you on earlier version of windows without shutting down it must scan for error the next time you power it on.
We learn the hard way. Did you know earlier version browsers don't recognize domain name like nairaland.com you must type the ip address. I once formatted computer i was using ah!. everything is easy now. before who you be to install windows wen you never set active partition in DOS

i installed windows 3.1 on virtual box the other day as a fun project. Lets just say it was a daunting task. And you can install windows today in your sleep. IT has gone a long way.

Phones / Re: The Truth About Tecno For Those Rushing The Phone by winteriscoming: 4:30pm On Dec 13, 2013
NO LONG TIN:

My plan was to read thread without commenting but this post changed everything.

Pls pray tell, which techno phone is better than Samsung products? Which techno phone is better than S3 or S4?

Are you aware techno try to make fones similar to S3 or S4(Samsung products)?

Is just like saying all those chinko fones that look like Nokia is better than Nokia phones.

The only reason techno sells is because it's cheaper if you want quality go for Samsung S3 or S4.

A friend of mine bought techno A+ the spec is similar to S4 but the quality no reach S3 talk less of my S4(we checked it).
The A+ is big for nothing, have u seen d screen resolution (quality)? Crap! Even S3 screen is HD(780p or 1080p).

I don't want to even compare it to S4, that would be an insult to Samsung

I have nothing against techno, in fact I advice ppl who don't have money to buy Samsung S3 or S4(I'm a fan of Samsung S series) to go for techno phones.
you do know that samsung have phones in the galaxy series apart from s3 and s4 right? galaxy y or galaxy s duos comes to mind

R&grin? Programmers? Seriously? They're using vanilla android running on hardware they bought rather than designed themselves and you're talking about Research and Development, all tecno does is buy a cheap generic and rod device slap their boot animation on it then sell it.

In my opinion if you're on a very tight budget and you want a smartphone experience then go ahead and get a techno device but if you have the money then don't even consider it.

Gbam. A lot of people take for granted that it's a budget phone. In there over zealotry to praise or debase tecno they compare it with the flagship of Giant phone companies. I mean Wtf

It's just like saying the baby boy is a crappy car. Indepently it's not, but compared to the Ferrari f12 it is.

Sorry to disappoint, but most devices except laptops require an access point which ad-hocs don't have.

smh for wannabe tech ITKs. Any phone with the right developer/hardware support will upgrade through custom ROMs. OTA updates are a different thing which everyone accepts Tecno phones are lacking.
Phones / Re: Why BIS Is Cheaper Compared To Other Data Plans by winteriscoming: 1:51pm On Dec 08, 2013
u2 1 day: I just read a bit on BB data compression

And found out that, legacy bb7 devices compressed just email, browsing and Facebook with Twitter, everything else is not compressed

So while using opera mini, or uc browser, it's not compressed, also all downloads are not compressed

Also streaming isn't compressed. I keep wondering why folks talk about compression that's why data is cheap on BB, it's not true.

We spend more time downloading and streaming, that's why BlackBerry stopped compression on bb 10 and took them of their servers from the launch.

"Personal data is no longer compressed because the
majority of personal data is no longer compressible:
Media streaming (Video, Flash, Embedded)
Media downloads (Movies, TV Shows, Video, Music)
Video conferencing
Applications and games" that quote is an excerpt from an article

http://www.berryreview.com/2011/01/19/do-you-know-your-blackberry-has-datasmart-technology/

why is BB data cheap? you may ask.

Because they run over dedicated servers run by BlackBerry itself, and BlackBerry buys these data access in bulk....so economics of scale kicks in

That's what makes it cheap, but note that all BB 10 plans are expensive cuz they run over servers owned by respective providers, mtn, airtel, etc

Look at BB user regular pattern, he uses more data for downloads and streaming than emailing and facebooking

Now I understand the whole BB 7 data compression thingy better.

http://n4bb.com/blackberry-10-longer-compresses-personal-data/

based on all these, it's clear that amount of data used on bb7 devices, and other platforms are the very close, the difference is only experienced while using social networks. the real cheapness of BB data is that BlackBerry firm buys their data in bulk.

it's like how it's cheaper to buy 10gb on any network at once and share over WiFi to 10 people than buying 10plans of 1gb for each of those 10 people.
