If you’re looking to build a PC, or perhaps ready to upgrade your laptop to a newer, faster, more powerful model, you will likely have to familiarize yourself with the major components that collectively contribute to its power. The components depend on your needs which may involve games, running heavy software, or watching movies and looking at cat pictures. If you were to start looking at pats of laptop models now, you will come across something somewhat new; SSD drives. For years now, laptops and desktop PCs have used HDD i.e. Hard Disk Drives but the changing market now has models that come with an SSD i.e. a Solid State Drive. If you’re wondering what the difference between the two is, this post breaks it down for you. SSD and HDD differ in a lot of ways but the one major difference between the two is their structure.

Must Read: Why Are Websites Suddenly Asking You To Save Cookies

Image
Cookies, not the chocolate chip kind, have long been a familiar term to anyone who uses the internet. It’s our general understanding that websites store cookies on our computer. Occasionally, someone will write about ‘privacy’ and ‘tracking’ concerns regarding these cookies upsetting people. The more naive ones, and even some of the sensible ones, will think they’ve accidentally installed a massive spying program on their computer and their every click is now being tracked. That’s not what cookies do. Storing cookies allows websites to remember preferences and retain browsing sessions. For example, if you start shopping on Amazon without logging into your account, and close the tab either accidentally or on purpose, when you next visit the site, the items you previously added to the shopping cart will still be there. Why? Because cookies. If you’re alright with websites saving cookies, then you might simply be wondering why there is a sudden need for your explicit agreement to saving t

A technology that can bring dead back to life might be a reality soon

Image
Researchers plan to bring dead to life by freezing their brains and then resurrecting them with artificial intelligence Bringing the dead back to life is futuristic and final frontier of science... The artificial intelligence company has said it can resurrect human beings within the next 30 years. The “conversational styles, [behavioural]patterns, thought processes and information about how your body functions from the inside-out” would be stored on a silicon chip through AI and nanotechnology. Humai researchers are banking on three technologies – bionics, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence – to achieve their goal of bringing the dead back to life and they feel that it will take around three decades for them to achieve this goal. The founder of Humai, Josh Bocanegra told the Australian Popular Science: “I accept death, I’m not afraid of it that I’m not 100% sure I’m going to die one day.” While their Facebook page states, “Will death always be inevitable? We don’t think so.”

Image
The Senate, yesterday, directed the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to extend the validity of its results to a period of at least three years. JAMB was also ordered to immediately stop its policy of re-a$$igning candidates to schools they didn’t apply to, saying such policy was contrary to the act establishing the board.

[News] The Only Reason For My Success Is My Wife – Majid Michel Open Up

Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel renewed his wedding vows with his wife of 10 years. In an interview with Encomium magazine ,he opened up on the secret of his successful marriage and why he credits his wife as the reason he is Majid. On the secret of his marriage When you go everywhere, people talk about principles of organizational development, and how to keep it going, but no one talks about character. Character comes from the word statue, a statue is something that has been fixed, it doesn’t change, and it is stable. If you see the image of Kwame Nkrumah at the museum, his statue is standing in one position, doing forward ever, backward never. When it’s raining, or there is hurricane, it is always in the same position, doing the same thing, it is stable. It doesn’t change, that is what you call character. That is what builds character. What am I doing in the night is it the same thing I am doing in the afternoon? When there is no one watching, what are you doing? That is character,

[Tut] How To Set Your Songs As Ringtone On Infinix Hot 2 x510

Image
I am sure you need this, if you have taken your time ti view it. I will be analysing to you, how you can actually set your desired ringtone, which is primarily impossible on the device, dues to the fact that it doesn't come with a pre-installed file manager app, and a rather bizarre music player. lol This can be achieved in two ways: 1. Through the use of a third party file manager: I will advise you use the ES File Explorer. You can download it from the google play store. Install and open the app, locate where you have your songs saved, click and hold one, on the option list, select set as ringtone. That's all for step one 2. Through the use of a third party music player: Simply look up any music player from the google play store, download it and navigate to your track list, click and hold your desired song, select set as ringtone. That's all about setting your desired song as your caller ringtone.

Glo Top up Their N1,000 Data Plan - Check it Out

Image
This heat is actually real and I think it’s a nice move by glo even though I’m still waiting for MTN to introduce 1GB for N100. Glo has been one of the best data network in Nigeria providing cheap data for all mobile users. Just of recent, they top up their data of N1GB to 1.2GB which is reasonable enough. I think this plan will only be suitable for those using iOS, PC and Qualcom users. The plan still remains N1000 for 1.2GB .  To subscribe, dial *777# and follow the prompt to choose your selection. This plan will only last 30 days.

All Andriod Users Beware! This Android Virus Auto Root Your Device and May Destroy Your Device Forever

Image
This post is directed to all Android users because it concerns all of you. There is a latest virus in town that can completely kill your Android phone permanently. It’s call auto root.  Auto-rooting adware is a worrying development in the Android ecosystem in which malware roots the device automatically after the user installs it, embeds itself as a system application, and becomes nearly impossible to remove. To make matter worst, The researchers have found more than 20,000 samples of trojanized apps masquerading itself  legitimately in  top applications, including Candy Crush, Facebook, GoogleNow, NYTimes, Okta, Snapchat, Twitter, WhatsApp, and many others. To add more salt to injury, the report says that these virus cannot be uninstalled or removed. The owner might have to end up buying another device entirely. Even Factory reset cannot remove it. A guy on Nairaland is already facing this condition. My 1 cent advice Don’t install applications from unknown source you don’t trust.

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB modified the registration procedure for students seeking admission for the 2016/2017 academic session. The modification according to JAMB, will lessen competition among candidates seeking placement to the nation’s “oversubscribed” universities. According to Dr Fabian Benjamin, the chief information officer of the board, JAMB has introduced “preferred choice” platform in its portal. This new addition will enable candidates have wider opportunities of securing admission. “What we did initially was that you only have one choice.

[Tech] Block Androids apps from connecting to the Internet Automatically

Image
NetGuard is a free application for devices running Android 5.0 or up that allows you to control which app may send or receive data. It is difficult usually to find out what applications do on mobile devices as you are limited in terms of what you can run on the device to track usage. While you can set up a monitoring solution to overcome this, most users probably don’t as it is not easy. There are plenty of reasons why you may want to control the apps connecting to the Internet. Privacy comes to mind for example, as you can prevent apps from leaking data for example or block advertisement this way from being displayed in the app. Other benefits include saving data by blocking applications from using it, and saving battery. Applications like the excellent NoRoot Firewall help in this regard as they let you control Internet access. NetGuard requires no-root access or even the Internet permission, which means that you can run it on any device running Android 5 or higher. The app is

[Tech] Internet Users!! What Consumes Most Of Your Mobile Data?

Image
It can really be frustrating chatting with someone who is very conscious of their data consumption. After 2 seconds, turns network off in order to conserve data lol. That makes me wonder the data consumption rate of the application they use. Though I know the data consumption rate of apps and various internet activities differs. Some may say it’s whatsapp while other will say snapchat or any other app. For me, YouTube, Instagram & Snapchat consumes most of my of my data, though I try as much as I can to avoid them sometimes. How about you?

My lovely eight-month old baby suddenly began having seizures few days ago. It was so severe that it worried me and her mum so much that we though it was a spiritual attack.

Everytime it occurred, we felt like weeping as the ever lovely baby seemed to have been strangely hijacked. We rushed to the hospital and some blood tests were recommended.

[Sport] Chelsea Billionaire Owner Abramovich Reportedly Rejects £35M Bid From Monaco For Jose Mourinho

Image
The Portuguese is under immense pressure having lost over 60% of games played this season and is a target for the French principality club, but Abramovich has reportedly rejected a mammoth bid for his coach’s services and wants Mourinho to stay on for a while despite the poor run. The Ligue 1 side, largely bankrolled by businessman Dmitry Rybolovlev, offered to buy out the remainder of Mourinho’s contract. However, Blues owner Abramovich has offered him support and has told Monaco’s middlemen he won’t sell Mourinho for that price, although it is believed Mourinho could be got if the fee is doubled to £71m.
