Apple vs Taylor Swift: who's The real winner?




As Apple obliged to Taylor Swift's call to pay artiste during the free months of the Apple Music service, many have raised the roof for her actions which i also agree and would love if she can do more.

How Apple is the real winner in the Music Stream saga with Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift has always being as vocal in her singing as defending the right for musicians to take home pay per music streamed by any streaming company, Few months ago, She had a moment with Spotify.


Bearing in mind that; In an industry already saturated by so many music streaming services like Spotify, GooglePLay, Pandora, Amazon Prime Music, Rdio, Plug.DJ and the Artist backed Tidal, Apple's venture into this section might be late but humility and a listening ear might just be that catapult to send  her ‘Apple Music’ to Levels above the others.
So lets think again, whose’ the real winner here? Apple or Taylor Swift?

the cost of an Hangover

See what happens when you over take alcohol, some of alcohol's associated hangover has varying  symptoms that may include dehydration, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, weakness, elevated body temperature, hyper salivation, difficulty concentrating, sweating, anxiety, dysphoria, irritability, sensitivity to light and noise, erratic motor functions (including tremor), trouble sleeping, severe hunger, and lack of depth perception. Many people will also be repulsed by the thought, taste or smell of alcohol during a hangover.

When Hangover Happens


The symptoms vary from person to person, and occasion to occasion, usually beginning several hours after drinking. It is not clear whether hangovers directly affect cognitive abilities.

Gadgets with Time/Compatibility

As time passes, technology makes giant strides and has a direct effect on the size of computers, gadgets and its peripherals which all reduce drastically in size reduces in size, even

but at a point also in the future devices will start going back to their big shape, using Apple's iPhone as a case study, with the way iPhone 5 was developed from iPhone 4s, the screen had a vertical increase, using that as a starting point, instead of devices to become more compact, they might end up being used as weapons. anyway that's just an unlikely fantasy

Nigeria's Broadband Plan: free internet at every NIPOST

A little bit optimistic about this information, it's actually very promising, with the usual Nigerian sluggishness and corruption it will be better to right off this document and go back to normal business, however, there are lots of reasons why one should not.

The Chairman of the Presidential committee on National Broadband Strategy and Roadmap which was inaugurated September 2012 is Dr. Ernest Ndukwe (OFR) and Vice president  Mr. Jim Ovia. Ernest was pivotal in ensuring development and monitoring of Communication giants in Nigeria like (MTN, Glo, Econet and the others) back then, one of th reason GSM came. Also ensuring the then NCC (Nigeria Communication Commission) was one of the most successful ministry. The NCC then chaired open sessions for the public with communication companies.

The comforting part of this story is that, if these men can apply  a similar drive to that of Bringing the GSM to Nigeria to Broadband then YES, they can achieve their plan to the betterment of the discussed nation.
Easily readable version of the plan. VeryPromising!!!
Hints:
There are plans now to free up the occupied 700Mhz Spectrum for deployment of LTE (4G) as the committee identified that 3G and 4G(LTE) will be the best way to facilitate a rapid encroachment of Broadband. "LTE is today the technology of choice for 4G services.Government will conduct spectrum licensing rounds for LTE by 2014/2015 in the 2.5GHz/ 2.6GHz bands (generally considered to cover the frequency range between 2500-2690 MHz). The 2.5/2.6 GHz bands offer abundant FDD spectrum suitable for building LTE networks." Presently Only a few cities such as Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt currently have any appreciable fibre infrastructure coverage that could be classified standard.
Some approaches will include:
FTTH: Fibre to the Home
FTTB: Fibre to the Base
FTTx: Fibre to the x (where x is defined as where ever may be in need of fibre connection)
LTE or 4G
3G
Sattelite



By 2015 according to the plan, will have all NIPOST branches host Public access points, meaning that you could use internet for free whenever you are in a NIPOST office





What do you think about this prospect?
With corruption, will this be feasible?

The talkative SIRI: so says Microsoft

Microsoft continues its jibes with apple this time using Apple's own Siri. Microsoft, Nokia and Samsung has been so interested in ads comparison off late, Gone are the days when companys makes ads just for their brand without intruding another, they are not even bothered about the corporate identity, the only thing that matters is the competition in respect to technology and innovation.

This time around microsoft says Apple should try to talk less and do more: well see video here
