If Nigerian government would buy this, am sure it'll be for Aso rock politicians.

Prof Ishaq should remember that Igbos are Jewish decent and Abacha uses Israelis as security operative. If the so-called ajami script represented so peoples opinion then the star of David too does (My thought).

Bro, don't compare sleep to death. If U're going for Infinix Zero, its far better than any of those Nokia Android. Infinix has total android feel and ...

how can i upgrade my lumia 900
firmware 2175.1002.8112.12085

Lumia 900 is not included in Microsoft resent updates, so nothing could be done to improve it again.

Every year, Google releases a family of devices meant to showcase the best of Android and lead the way in innovation for the rest of its hardware partners. They’re sold under the Nexus brand, and they often coincide with the launch of a new version of the Android operating system.

This year, Google added three new members to the family: The Nexus 9 tablet, the Nexus Player set-top box, and the Nexus 6 smartphone. I’ve been testing the latter for the past week and a half, and found it to be a powerful device deserving of its flagship status.

Made in collaboration with Motorola and available this week, the Nexus 6 is the first handset to ship with the latest Android 5.0 software (a.k.a. Lollipop) — a beautiful and smart update to the platform. It also improves on its predecessor, the Nexus 5, with a faster processor and better camera. And it features a massive 5.96-inch touchscreen.

But in a departure from previous models, the Nexus 6 carries a heftier price tag. The Nexus 5, for example, started at $350 without a contract. The Nexus 6 is going for $650 unsubsidized for the 32 gigabyte model, and $700 for the 64GB model.

Google says this is because the phone includes more high-end features — something its customers were asking for — and if you were to compare the Nexus 6 to the unlocked price of the iPhone 6 Plus or Samsung Galaxy Note 4, it’s still cheaper.

Also for the first time, Google is offering the Nexus 6 from all major U.S. carriers, either with a two-year contract or through device financing. This is all in the hope of reaching more consumers. But I don’t think the Nexus 6 is going to be the one that does it.

As powerful and full-featured as the phone is, the Nexus 6’s large size limits its appeal.

At this point, you might be thinking, “Bonnie, get over it. Phablets are here to stay, and some people like big phones.” And I completely get that. In fact, the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 4 are in my rotation of phones, and I’ve gotten used to their size. But not so with the Nexus 6.

At 6.27 inches tall by 3.27 inches wide by 0.39 inches thick, the Nexus 6 is taller, wider and thicker than both of those phones. In some cases, we’re only taking about 0.05-inch of a difference, but it does have an impact. It was difficult to wrap my hand around the phone. Also unlike the Apple and Samsung devices, the Nexus 6 doesn’t offer any features that make one-handed operation easier. Nor does it have multi-window view or a stylus, if you’re into that kind of thing.

That isn’t to say the design is all bad. The curved back is nice when resting the phone in the palm of your hand. The aluminum construction also gives the Nexus 6 a much more premium feel than previous models.

Of course, the reason for the large size is the 5.96-inch touchscreen. The iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 4, by comparison, have a 5.5-inch and 5.7-inch display, respectively. The screen resolution of the Nexus 6 is 2,560 by 1,440 pixels, which puts it on par with the Galaxy Note 4, and betters the iPhone 6 Plus, which has 1,920 by 1,080 pixels.

The Nexus 6’s display was bright and sharp, showing lots of details, especially compared to the iPhone 6 Plus. It was great for reading text, watching videos and playing games. This is also the first Nexus model to feature front-facing stereo speakers, and I found that they produce impressive sound.

On back, there’s an upgraded 13-megapixel camera. With more advanced features like optical image stabilization and an LED flash ring, photo quality was better than the Nexus 5. Images were sharper, and colors were more vibrant. Shots taken in indoor environments still looked a bit dim, but better than some other cameraphones I’ve tested. One downside is that there is no microSD card slot for extra storage.

One of the biggest highlights of the Nexus 6 is the new Android 5.0 Lollipop software. Lollipop brings a new design aesthetic called Material to the OS. It’s cleaner, flatter and more user-friendly. Lollipop also promises to provide a more consistent user experience across all Android devices — phones, tablets, TVs, smartphones and more — though I didn’t get a chance to test that in person. Like other Nexus models, the Nexus 6 is a pure Android phone, meaning there isn’t any customization from carriers or device makers.

Lollipop is a pretty major update, and there are a lot of new features. But I wanted to highlight a couple of my favorites. The first being notifications.

While you can still swipe down from the top of the screen to view all your notifications, they also now appear on your lock screen, where you can take immediate action. You can swipe down on a card to see more information, double-tap a notification to open the corresponding app, or swipe to the right to dismiss it

While Android is in some ways playing catch up to iOS in this department, it’s still a welcome addition, and I like that there’s an option to filter notifications by priority.

Another area that’s improved thanks to Lollipop is multitasking. Previously, if you wanted to switch between open apps, you would have to scroll through a vertical list of all your recent apps. Now, they’re shown in a 3-D carousel that shows more at a glance and allows for easier scrolling.

With a Qualcomm quad-core processor, the new software ran fine on the Nexus 6, and performance overall was smooth and snappy. But I’ll be curious to see how the new OS runs on an older device.

Voice calls made on the Nexus 6 over Verizon’s network in San Francisco sounded clear. While I didn’t run a formal battery test, the Nexus 6 lasted about a day and a half with moderate use. Lollipop adds a new battery-saving mode that turns off most background data and reduces performance to help conserve remaining power. Like the Galaxy Note 4, if you use the included Turbo Charger to power your device, you can boost your battery life in a fraction of the time it takes with a regular charger.

The Nexus 6 is one of the best Android smartphones on the market, but I can’t help but think, “If only it were just a tad smaller.” Still, if you love big smartphones, the Nexus 6 should be at the top of your list.

Culled from: http://berryflow.com/2014/10/review-celluon-epic-mobile-projection-keyboard/

At first glance the device doesn’t seem like much, it’s a simple small form-factor with little in the way of complexity.  It’s roughly a quarter of the size of my Z30 device in length/ height but double in width.  The unit comes with a some user manuals and a usb charging cord for the built-in battery.  Overall the box says you should expect 2-3 hours of non-stop usage from the device which will hopefully mean you won’t have to use your charging cable too often.

There are very few moments, in my life, when I fire something up and my mind says “woahdude I’m in the future”, but when I first turned on the Epic projection keyboard I couldn’t help but think back to my childhood days of watching Starwars with my Dad and watching in awe at all the fictional technology they were using, including holographic keyboards.  And while this isn’t quite a holographic keyboard it comes damn close to one.
The device sports a laser projection at the top of the device, a motion sensor and a infrared emitter at the bottom to identify which keys on the keyboard projection layout are being touched.  Tapping on a projected key will make the device beep giving you some nice audio feedback to make-up for the lack of physical feedback by way of a click or clack.
The unit works through Bluetooth HID to connect to your device.  The box says is supports a wide range of operating systems including MacOSX, Windows, Windows Phone, Android, iOS and ofcourse BlackBerry 10!  Connecting the device to your BlackBerry 10 device is the same as almost any other bluetooth peripheral you would connect.  You simply turn on the bluetooth on your device as well as turn on the Epic unit and tap on it when it shows up in your list of nearby bluetooth peripherals.  Because the device uses HID it doesn’t require a passcode to be input, unlike other devices that do require this step.
Once connected you can use the device as either an external keyboard or an external trackpad.  I got to test it for a bit writing emails and BBMs from my hub and found the writing experience to be quite enjoyable.  There were a few occasions where quick typing with both fingers would confuse the motion sensor, but overall I am very impressed with the accuracy and quality of the keyboard input and sensitivity.  I am told that you can also adjust the sensitivity to tailor it to your own preference which could improve the performance even more.  It also performs well as a trackpad and was able to do everything I could do with a regular bluetooth mouse with it, although it is fairly difficult to do a lot of dragging gestures.

The main drawbacks of the product has to be it’s requirement of a flat surface to function.  Everybody has their own preferred place to get work done, and presumably this device would likely be used while at a desk, but I have heard negative impressions of the performance of the device on plane/ train/bus pull-out tables which aren’t necessary flat, but usually a bit slanted which alters the shape of the keyboard on the surface.  As mentioned earlier, advanced trackpad gestures are a bit difficult to do although they do work and aren’t too difficult to do, the accuracy is not nearly as good as the typing experience.  The last drawback I could find was that the price of the product is fairly expensive.  At $150 it does bank on it’s easy portability, easy user-interface and cool factor which doesn’t necessarily make it a rip-off, but it does make one question whether they might not just be better off getting a cheaper bluetooth keyboard to use even though you’d be doing so at the expense of portability.
Overall I’d give the device an 8.5/10.  It’s very useful, especially for those people who often find they’re using their mobile device at their desk to type, the benefit of the projection keyboard is that you can use it for your desktop/ laptop as well as mobile device and not have to worry about moving a clunky keyboard out of the way to work on papers or read a few reports.  Not to mention the great performance and battery life.
Pros:

Accurate typing experience
Portable
Good battery life
Cons:

Advanced trackpad movements are kind of difficult
Requires a flat surface to work best
Fairly expensive at $150

To me o, if u r naturally reserved, den u r an introvert o. If extroverts r reserved, it's just bcoz dey decide to be so at certain places or instances.

Thanks, I most time finds it difficult to answer questions both in Church and class even when am having a vast knowledge in d topic of discussion. Thank God am ME.

I don't drink, smoke or party. Not too eager in making new friend but always appreciate any kind gesture.
My community is online in fact internet is my closest pal. Are these xtics of introverts or shynes? But i think am just reserved.

My colleague saw me sipping it today and was like "Its gonna affect ur spm" but am neither moved nor give it a second thought. I most time drinks it when am feeling feverish - It works for me that way cos it contains quinine.
