Facebook now has 1.32 billion users, with 30% only using it on their mobile

I forseen Mobile Ad becoming the best means of advertising goods and services.Companies and manufacturer should start embracing mobile application if they must survive in the business world of technology. Back in the days,we spent hours watching series of programmes on the Television,even when some of the programmes are not interesting.Presently,with social websites like facebook ,twitter,instagram has motivated people to aquired expensive smartphones even when the economy is no longer a friend to their pockets.....lol.

EBOLA: DEADLY, CONTAGIOUS AND INCURABLE - COULD IT LEAVE AFRICA

Personally,I will never thought there is going to be a more deadly virus even worst than HIV/AIDs in the world

There was nothing unusual-looking about the passenger arriving at Heathrow from Lagos.

He was carrying one of the most deadly diseases known to mankind, but it wasn’t noticed by overstretched Nigerian airport officials before departure, nor by attendants on the flight, despite their special training to watch out for feverish passengers.

Because Ebola is a disease that has an incubation period of between two and 21 days, it’s more than likely that the final line of defence — immigration staff at Heathrow — failed to notice anything untoward about him either.

It wasn’t as if he was so unsteady or unwell that he couldn’t answer basic questions.

And so he was waved through.

Little did anyone realise that his initial flu-like symptoms — fever, headache, achy limbs, sore throat — would soon become something much, much worse.

Ebola, a disease which is fatal in 90 per cent of cases and for which there is no vaccine and no known cure, was now in Britain for the first time.

It would soon be spreading across the country, killing almost everyone it touched.

Fortunately this is an imaginary situation, but an Ebola epidemic is the nightmare scenario which inspires Hollywood disaster movie writers and keeps public health officials awake at night.

However, there is now widespread alarm among experts that it could actually happen, because the deadly disease has spread for the first time from remote jungle villages to claim its first victim in Lagos, one of Africa’s most sophisticated cities, with air links to major cities worldwide, including London.

And woe betide anyone who comes in close contact with an Ebola victim.

While the virus’s one virtue is that it isn’t as easily transmitted as, say, an airborne influenza, it is highly contagious if you come near enough to be infected by any sort of bodily fluid.

This means not only contamination from vomiting and diarrhoea — the next stage after the fever and headaches — but saliva from a kiss, sweat from a mopped brow, or even, it is thought, a sneeze.

If a sufferer is looked after by loved ones, only the most ruthless sanitation regime will save them. If he or she seeks medical help, risks could be even greater.

As one British expert told me yesterday, if an Ebola victim was misdiagnosed and ended up being admitted to a normal hospital ward, the ‘consequences would be disastrous’ as nurses and doctors unwittingly passed the virus to other patients and colleagues.

The final stages of the disease are hideously unpleasant as the virus punches holes in veins, often causing massive internal haemorrhaging and bleeding from the eyes, ears, mouth and other orifices.

Death is generally caused by multiple organ failure.

an app which invites you to connect with strangers from around the world

What is MeowChat?
MeowChat, an app which invites you to connect with strangers from around the world, has shot to the top of the download charts
Chat app MeowChat has shot to the top of the download charts as users race to interact with strangers across the globe.

The app, which connects you with strangers in private or group chats, has been quietly gaining momentum since its launch last year. It is now the number one most downloaded free app in the UK and Australian App Store charts, alongside countries as far-flung as Lithuania, Mongolia, Mauritania and Macau.

Like rival WhatsApp, MeowChat supports photo and audio messaging. Its Random Chat feature can be used to pair users in a one-on-one chat with a stranger, or enter larger group conversations with others within chatrooms.

Users can sign up using their Facebook account details to create their own mini profiles within the app, and have the option to invite friends to join them. Frustrated individuals have taken to Twitter to complain about the influx of MeowChat invitations they've received in the past few days.

WoW ! Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg now richer than Google owners

There's a saying that:Be on top today is not a guarantee after few years.What ever position, you are today,always remember someone was once there. imagine when Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page became billionaires many years ago, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was still struggling with the
social networking site. But now he’s richer than them, this is according to Bloomberg. Read the full report
from Bloomberg below…

The Facebook Inc. chairman added $1.6 billion to his fortune yesterday after the world’s largest social network closed at a record. The surge elevated the 30-year-old’s net worth to $33.3 billion, moving him past Brin, 40, and Page, 41, as well as Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos, 50, on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Zuckerberg is No. 16 on the ranking. The Google founders are 17th and 18th. Bezos occupies the 20th spot.

“He’s just getting started,” David Kirkpatrick, author of “The Facebook Effect,” said in a telephone interview. “He’s going to become the richest person on the planet.”

The Menlo Park, California-based company posted second-quarter sales that soared 61 percent to $2.91 billion yesterday, exceeding analysts’ average estimate of $2.81 billion. The company’s revenue gain follows Google’s results last week, when the Web- search company posted sales that topped analysts’ estimates, largely based on the strength of online ads.

Chinese hackers target Tesla Model S electric car

Hackers are taking over inshort,everything on a daily basis,perhaps no support from government organisations,private investors are just too conservative, less or no support coming from the NGOs  to reduced the mess hackers had caused.I just hope some day,human being beg the hackers for breathing in oxygen.Imagine what the did to Tesla motors.
whenTesla Motors has promised to fix any “legitimate vulnerability” after Chinese hackers reportedly discovered a flaw which allowed them to honk the horn, unlock the doors and flash the headlights of its Model S electric cars.

 Tesla Motors has promised to fix any “legitimate vulnerability” after Chinese hackers reportedly discovered a flaw which allowed them to honk the horn, unlock the doors and flash the headlights of its Model S electric cars, even while they were moving.

The news emerged from the SyScan360 conference (motto: “I hack, therefore I am”), which is intended to be a “platform for the international security community to interact with the Chinese security community”. A post on the social network Weibo said that the IT department from Chinese company Qihoo 360 Technology Co had been able to take control of the car’s door locks, horn, headlights and sunroof.

No details of the hack have been disclosed, but the functions which claim to have been attacked closely match those which are made available through the Tesla smartphone app. Drivers can download an app which connects to their car via Bluetooth and allows the doors to be locked and unlocked, the headlights to be flashed, the horn honked and the sunroof opened.

Five Best Desktop Antivirus Applications

For some of us who are computer users who believe we  can be successful all the time working on our systems without protection should better take advantage of this post before we run out of luck one day.As an experienced system engineer,kaspersky is currently my favorite because of its user friendliness such as,quick updates very faster, even with poor internet connection,it runs background unknown to the user and terminate all manner of malware.Below is a report I got from lifehacker on five best desktop antivirus application.

To enjoy good browsing hygiene and "common sense" only get you so far on the internet. A good antivirus utility is worth keeping in your pocket in case either of those two things fail you (as they have been known to in the past) or someone less tech-savvy asks you for a good tool. This week we're looking at five of the best antivirus tools, based on nominations.

We immediately nixed some contenders we knew would come up, namely "nothing," "OS X/Linux," and "Microsoft Security Essentials," for a few reasons: First, "nothing" and "OS X/Linux" don't really help anyone and only serve to stoke a debate that no one will—or is interested in trying to—resolve. We've already explained why you should use antivirus even if you browse carefully and explained that your security has to do with more than just your activities. Second, MSE, while it used to be a great tool, is no longer at the top of its game, and even Microsoft says it's not built to offer the same protection as third-party antivirus (rather, they want it to be a "good enough" tool instead.)

Avast! Free Antivirus is our current pick as the best antivirus for Windows, but it remains to be seen whether it'll be your pick as well. It's come a long way in a few short updates, with the 2014 version offering a streamlined, easy to navigate interface and a plethora of on-access scanning and protection tools (some of which you may not want, so take care when installing). It's still one of the top picks available, according to AV Comparitives and AV-Test, and performs well in antivirus tests. Avast offers an on-access antivirus scanner that examines files downloaded, pages you visit, emails you receive, and any files downloaded, and also features an on-demand scanner you can run at any time. It updates quietly in the background without fuss, and has a "silent" mode where you can disable any and all notifications and warnings to keep performance slim and trim. The app itself is relatively resource light—you may not even notice it's there. Best of all, it's completely free.
In the nominations round, many of you praised Avast for its performance and light use of system resources, and others pointed out that you'd been Avast users for a long time and were pleased to see its updates. Others highlighted specific features, like Avast's screensaver scan, where the application only kicks in when you're away from the computer or the system is idle. A few of you even highlighted the fact that Avast is cross-platform, and available for multiple operating systems. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a great tool.
