WhatsApp Shamelessly Copied Snapchat-Like Features

WhatsApp Introduces Snapchat Style Features
Our lives changed when WhatsApp came into our lives. Messaging and sharing photos and videos had never been easier than this. Excitement brewed throughout the tech world when WhatsApp and Facebook decided to join hands. More technology entered our lives when the snapshot was introduced.

Now it seems that WhatsApp is all set to take over what Snapchat users generally enjoy through this app. WhatsApp has recently added a new update which has adopted all interesting features from Snapchat. The new version of WhatsApp (which is available for download in the app store) includes all the drawing and editing tools which Snapchat has to offer. Different ways of taking pictures is also a new feature added in the app’s update.

The drawing tools added into WhatsApp’s new update has a remarkable similarity to those of Snapchat. Just like in Snapchat, these drawing tools are simply brought up while taking a picture. Once a picture is taken, small icons will appear on the screen which can be used to write text or draw on the picture.

This is not all that the new update has to offer. In addition to this, pictures can also be decorated with different emojis which is done by clicking a little face.

The extent to which Facebook has copied Snapchat this time is actually quite interesting. The process of taking pictures in WhatsApp’s new update is also same as in Snapchat. In order to allow you to take better pictures of yourself in the dark, front flash is available which brightens up the screen. This provides the users with a better way of taking selfies.

Other changes in app’s camera update includes an ability to slide the screen up and down for zooming in and out and double tapping that switches the camera between the back and front.

whatsapp-introduces-snapchat-style-features-2

WhatsApp is being repeatedly criticized for copying Snapchat’s features in the past. It also never fails to acknowledge openly that a particular feature introduced is in fact inspired by a feature already there in Snapchat – like the concept of stories that was introduced in Instagram. This popularity tactic allows Facebook to bring Snapchat features to the parts of the world where Snapchat has not yet launched itself.

For now, WhatsApp did not choose to acknowledge any inspiration for the updated camera features copied from Snapchat and through its blog has only expressed it as an effort of introducing new ways of sharing photos and videos with family members and friends.

Free Android Apps That You Won’t Believe Actually Exist

This world is a strange place. I almost didn’t believe my brother when he told me that there is actually an Android app that lets you keep a poop log. Yes, you read it right. Who in the world would be crazy enough to create such an app? Here is a list of some more android apps that you won’t believe actually exist. Let us warn you! They are the silliest, dumbest and strangest of the lot.

Sleep Sheep

sleep-sheep-android

If you have ever had insomnia, you must have heard of counting sheep jumping over the fence to help you sleep. Well, somebody realized that manual sheep counting is too much of a fuss. Here is this app known as Sleep Sheep which counts the sheep on your behalf. It also gives you a graphic view of the sheep jumping over the fence. Happy sleeping.

Pimple Popper

pimple-popper

Yes, this app actually does exist. Did you develop a pimple and have to resist popping it? Don’t worry because the Pimple Popper game app lets you pop all kinds of pimples – even the squishy and the crusty ones. I am so excited.

Beer FREE

beer-free-anroid

Now who in their right minds would actually download an app to drink a fake free beer when they can go out and buy a real one? If you think you might take pleasure in tilting your phone and drinking the free beer that this app has to offer, download it right away.

I Am Rich

i-am-rich-android

This app called ‘I Am Rich’ was once offered for $1000 at the App Store. Its only purpose was to display a red colored gem on the screen. Here is the craziest part: eight people actually bought this useless app until Apple decided to pull it down. Now this app is available on Google Play for free. Totally pointless!

Lick the Icicle

lick-the-icicle

This app is a life saver for all those people who wish to lick their smart phone screen and are somehow being hindered from doing that. You don’t need to actually lick the smart phone screen though. This app allows you to lick it virtually by using your touch only. I would say it is a great time waster. Also, look forward to our next post on how to clean your tablet/phone if you plan to download this app.

iFart

ifart-android-app

This is for all the people who think farts are musical and totally fun. If you love the way different farts sound, this app is a Godsend for you. With a number of fart sounds to choose from, this app takes the android app concept to a whole new level!

Why being young shouldn’t matter for a business start up

why-being-young-shouldnt-matter-for-a-business-start-up

Ever since the concepts ‘business’ and ‘entrepreneurship’ have been added to the English language, one question has been making rounds for centuries: what is the best age for finding and running a business start up? The answers surrounding this question focus on what is considered important in the business industry. For some, it is the young enthusiasm that brings about change and innovation and for others it is the experience that is vital. While this debate is ongoing, the fact is that being young does not matter for a business start up and should not stop you from venturing into the entrepreneurship experience.

Many young entrepreneurs have been able to make their mark in the business industry. One such shining example is that of Andrea Teichmannova who started her own company with a partner at a young age of 23. Her company provides services to foreigners, including immigration, accommodation, assistance and insurance.

It is a fact that starting a business at a young age has several stereotypical advantages. Young people tend to have a fresher approach and unlimited energy. While older entrepreneurs might have the expertise brought about by years of experience in the work field, they lack the ability to look at things with a fresh approach and may be inclined to employ redundant methods. They are also usually afraid of taking risks. On the other hand, a young entrepreneur loves to take challenges heads on and is not scared of anything. This is exactly what is needed to succeed in the business field. A classic example of this is found in the founders of the popular search engine Google, who set up the concept at the age of 25.

So if you are a young lad, looking forward to starting up a business, do not be afraid because age is just a number. It is your enthusiasm combined with the risk-taking attitude that makes all the difference in the business industry.

Future Technologies That Will Change the World

Technology helps us make our lives easier than those led by generations before us as our current generation enjoys advancements in technology that previous generations could have hardly imagined.

Scientists are on an on-going strife to improve upon the current technology and facilitate our lives with more new inventions.

The following are Top Future Technologies That Will Change the World. While most of them are still to undergo development, these concepts, once realized could help make human lives easier exponentially.

Flying cars

Flying cars

A Personal aircraft that heralds the future of our daily commutes. In terms of design, it’ll be similar to your car. However, it will have an additional ability to be airborne. Naturally, drivers of these flying cars will be expected to pass a driving test and carry a license on them.

It will help in reducing traffic hindrances, and chances of road accidents will also decrease, but the car itself might be very expensive.

Many inventors are busy working on the concept of a flying car and several prototypes were built since the beginning of the 21st Century, however none has cleared the production stage thus far.

Screenless display

image004

One of the most anticipated technology breakthroughs which allows you to project a display without a screen. It is expected to be much more reliable and user friendly than a touch screen.

Screenless Displays will revolutionize fields such as teaching and research. There are three sub categories of a screen less display concept; Visual, Retinal display and finally the Synaptic interface.

Screenless display is expected to be better than a touch responsive screen in both resolution, usability and the overall viewing experience.

3D Printing

3D Printing

Technology that allows you to effectively print tangible Three- dimensional (3D) objects by your computer.

As of 2013, 3D printing is now a reality and is being used in many forms including art, at people’s homes and in industry as well. However, the 3D printing we’ve achieved so far is still limited and there is a whole lot more that we can use this technology for in the near future.

It is also used in architecture and is very effective however, again, there’s a whole lot more that we can accomplish from 3D printing with some more advancements.

Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality

Technology that can really make your dreams come true through neuro stimulation. It can create sensory experiences that can bridge the gap between dreams and reality.

It can be used in the field of medicine to help reduce mental problems such as brain disorders, anxiety and depression etc.

Perhaps the most anticipated use of Virtual Reality is to be employed by the gaming industry to bring players the most vivid in game experience, however, inventors are still working on making it usable in other fields as well.

Hypersonic Trains

Hyper-Sonic Trains

Yet another future technology that aims at revolutionizing the way we move.

Hypersonic Trains are expected to run on solar power and be able to operate at speeds faster than the speed of an airplane; with an ability to cover several miles in a second. It will be the next generation of the bullet train that is both fast and friendly to the environment.

The concept is still under the development process, but if completed, the need for electricity and petrol to power trains will be reduced drastically.

Holographic Television

Holographic Television

 

 

A television that will utilize light emission to create and project a 3D hologram of instead of an image, providing the ultimate real time viewing experience.

Technologies such as Laser, MEMS, Electro holography and Full Parallax were used to allow light diffraction to create a picture bigger than its original size and in clear view.

Neurohacking

Neurohacking

Neurohacking is a method which will enhance the human brain and allow us to view our thoughts more closely.

Although it is expected to be beneficial in many fields, it is currently being researched with the objective of unlocking the current capacity of the human brain.

Wireless Electricity

Wireless Electricity

As the name suggests, this technology will allow us to power our electronics without having to plug in any kind of power cord. This means that there will be no mess of wires in your home any longer.

This concept will also help reduce dangerous accidents related to electricity and make managing power to different devices easier as well.

Invisibility

Invisibility

There is hope for technology that can make you completely or at least partially invisible.

The notion of invisibility somehow brings back a magical image of a certain invisibility cloak from Happy Potter. However, with the rate at which we’re advancing in technology, it may no longer be something that needs magic.

Scientists are still researching on how they could make humans invisible. We’re already seeing translucent screens being made but that’s as far as we go for now.

Autonomous Robots

Autonomous Robots
Ever since the first sci-fi movie, our scientists have been obsessed with artificial intelligence and that’s kept them going in their efforts in creating an automaton or an autonomous robot.

If we succeed in creating intelligent artificial life, then we may really have robots as our friends and peers like in all those movies.

Currently, the robots we’re creating are getting closer and closer to being lifelike but they have far to go before they can be considered as artificial lifeforms.

10 Most Idiotic Video Games Ever Created

Video games or electronic games are developed for the motive of entertainment. There is roughly no body these days who has no interest in these games. As per gamers’ expectations and demands, video game developers work hard to build up more and more exciting games each year.

Today, with no offense to any developer or fans, we are going to go through a list of “10 Most Idiotic Video Games Every Created.”

1: Square’s Tom Sawyer (1989)

Square’s Tom Sawyer (1989)

This is a game based on Mark Twain’s “Adventures Of Tom Sawyer” novel. The game was developed and published by “Square Co. Ltd” and it was designed by Hiroyuki Ito.

The player has to control the lead role and his friends for finding a treasure. It never localized outside Japan, and criticized most because of one of its black characters had ridiculously huge lips.

2: Wayne’s World (1993)

Wayne’s World Game (1993)

This is a single player, Christian video game. It was developed and published by “Wisdom Tree” and “Color Dreams”. Its leading platforms include PC, Sega Genesis, Nintendo Entertainment System & DOS.

Playboy The Mansion (2005)

It was developed by Cyberlore Studios and published by ARUSH Entertainment, Groove Games, Ubisoft (PAL).

This game’s goal is to build and decorate an empire for nothing. Its concept was close to “Sim 2” and had nothing else to offer other than nudity and a drama based name.

It was published by ‎Crave Entertainment and developed by Shaba Games, Crawfish Interactive. The game has a mission to fight with evils while attempting different scooters stunts. Outside of North America, it is an unlicensed game.

March of the Penguins game 2007

The game was developed by Skyworks Interactive, and published by Destination Software, Inc and based on a hit documentary. It’s a simple puzzle game, player help penguins, to reach their goals. 3D design and low-quality soundtracks are used.

7: McDonald’s Treasure Island Adventure (1993)

McDonald’s Treasure Island Adventure (1993)

It was introduced by Treasure Co. Ltd on McDonald concept. The player passes through an island with a treasure map and collects material for his McDonald franchise. But unfortunately because of freaky game levels and less screwed up audio it is here in idiotic games list.

Coca-Cola Kid game

It’s a single player action and adventure based game. “Aspect Co” developed that game in 1994 and published by “Sega” in Japan. The player has to save its teacher, collect coins and drink Coca-cola for survival. It’s just another way to advertise the Coca-Cola brand with a sloppy gameplay.

9: Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker (1990)

Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker game

It developed by Emerald Software and Keypunch Software in 1990 and published by “U.S. Gold”. Michael’s dance moves were used to rescue the children from a smuggler and his tunes used as soundtrack in the whole game.

Predominantly developer’s love for Michael Jackson was shown.

10: NSYNC: Get To The Show (2001)

NSYNC Get To The Show Stupid game

The game was developed for the promotion of a boy-band “NSYNC”. It has three difficulty levels which are not actually difficult, the player has to follow the instructions of the game like gather snacks, jump around and drive etc. According to user feedback, it’s just a childish puzzle game.

We love games and will bring most awesome game list as well, but for now these were the most idiotic games, according to our editorial staff.

Everything you need to know about Asus ZenWatch

With the on-the-go convenience and the ease of access they offer, it’s no wonder that so many smartwatches are popping up in the market.

The Asus ZenWatch was particularly notable amongst smartwatches due to the fact that it’s in fact the first wearable device from Asus. The reasonable price tag of $200 and the attractive design of the smartwatch were enough to create quite the hype between android users and smartwatch fans everywhere.

Asus ZenWatch was particularly notable amongst said smartwatches

What is the ZenWatch?

The ZenWatch is a stylish smartwatch from Asus that allows you to interact with your smartphone and performs the basic range tasks that you’d expect of an android wear device. At a glance, the ZenWatch is elegant and stylish, featuring a 1.6 inch curved AMOLED screen, a robust yet sleek metallic builds and a graceful, interchangeable leather strap that you can get with a choice of three colours.

What is the ZenWatch

What the ZenWatch offers

Now that we’ve talked about what the ZenWatch is, let’s have a look at what it does. The ZenWatch features a range of handy features that you’d need on the go. Now without further ado, let’s quickly go over what the watch offers alongside its appealing $200 price tag.

The Display: Like all smartwatches out there, all you need to do is give it a flick and the screen lights up, giving you a glance at everything you need to know, including your phone’s notifications and of course, the time. The screen itself is reasonably bright and has a good contrast, as you’d expect from an AMOLED display. However, one thing that Asus could improve upon as far as the screen is concerned is the pixel density that it offers, as the current screen appears a bit pixilated as compared to those of competitors.

Health features: The ZenWatch also comes with a number of health functions that are pretty much a standard for smartwatches these days. The metal band around the watch doubles as a heart rate sensor that you just need to pinch between your thumb and index finger for a reading. Other than that, the pedometer present on the ZenWatch is very accurate in counting the footsteps you take throughout your day.

Everything you need to know about Asus ZenWatch

Voice commands: Smart watches are all about maximizing the accessibility you have to your Android device and the ZenWatch is no exception to that rule. The smartwatch is very responsive to voice commands, which is great news for those of us who are constantly busy and on the go. The voice input can be activated by the simple “Okay Google’’ phrase and then you can access any app that you need.

What the ZenWatch lacks

At $200, the Asus ZenWatch is definitely a good smartwatch to buy. However, there are a few things that the ZenWatch misses out on. For starters, the real estate on the watch’s face could have been better; there’s too much bezel on the side where we could’ve seen a bigger screen.

Another thing that the ZenWatch could improve upon is the way it fits around the user’s wrist. The strap itself is comfortable and secures itself shut well enough, however, a slightly more adjustable strap would have been a useful feature that could maximize the grip.

The good news is that most of these lacklustre features have been addressed in the new and improved ZenWatch 2.
