An earlier report on Twitter from Samsung Nigeria confirmed that BlackBerry’s popular BBM messaging platform will be coming to Android and iOS quite soon. Although it won’t be a three-month exclusive to Samsung as was initially speculated, BBM could hit Google Play and the iOS App Store as early as this Friday. BBM Communications Director Victoria Berry had this to say on the impending launch: “The excitement around the upcoming BBM launch on iPhone and Android devices seems to know no bounds. Although I’m a big fan of this passion, I want to clarify that no one will have an exclusive on offering BBM. We’ll be bringing the app to Android and iPhone users across the globe soon.” BBM has long been a staple of BlackBerry’s messaging platform, allowing BlackBerry users to communicate between one another for free, but has until now been limited to BlackBerry devices. The latest incorporation of other mobile OS’s i...

All four people charged with finding Microsoft a new CEO are men. All but two of its nine board members are men, and nearly 80 percent of its U.S. employees are male. The only two CEOs in Microsoft's history, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, have been men. Microsoft’s gender imbalance -- skewed, but standard for the technology industry -- suggests there's plenty of room for more female leaders at the top of the world's third most-valuable tech firm. So when Ballmer, Microsoft's current CEO, resigns next year, what’s the likelihood a woman might get the top job? Though industry analysts agree Microsoft should hire the most qualified candidate, regardless of gender, some argue that appointing a woman as Ballmer's successor could potentially bring ...

S martphone manufacturer Nokia recently sold its devices and services unit to Microsoft for $7.2 billion. Before that deal, though, it seems like the Finnish company may have thought of crossing the fence to Google’s Android operating system sometime after late 2014, according to the New York Times . While Microsoft and Nokia have had a long, well-knit bond over the Windows Phone-based Lumia series, new evidence now shows that a Nokia Lumia Android phone was being considered, and prototypes were also reportedly made by the company. Nokia supposedly had a team working on bringing Android to its Lumia handsets well before the Microsoft deal took place. The source has stated that Microsoft executives were also aware about the existence of this project. Nokia’s plan to shift operating systems is not such a surprising one. Most smartphone companies often have alternatives in mind in case they need to shift the operating system or iron out better deals with software...

Most of us shutdown our computers using the power button given in the Start menu. Some of us use the physical power button on our machines. Very few people actually use other means of shutting down a computer and even less is the number of people who use the command prompt to shutdown a computer. A reason for this is that most of us don't know that the command prompt can be used to not only shutdown, restart or log off  our  computer instantly but also to shutdown a remote computer provided you have administrative access. It can also be used to hibernate a computer and give a comment containing the reason for shutdown. This post will show you how to do all this. Required A computer running Windows (XP, Vista, 7 or 8) with the command prompt working perfectly, i.e. not  disabled by a virus . Initial Steps  1) Press Windows Key + R. 2) Enter CMD and press Enter. This will start the command prompt. Follow the instructions below depending on what you want...

   Huawei’s latest is being flaunted as the slimmest smartphone ever! We find out if there’s anything else that the handset can brag about. For a company that had nothing to do with smartphones till three years ago, Huawei has built itself quite an arsenal of products by now. While most of its earlier models were budget phones that were barely acknowledged by gadget enthusiasts, the more recent line-up of its mid-to higher-end smartphones have been getting a fair bit of attention. The latest to fit the bill is the Huawei Ascend P6, marketed by the company as the slimmest smartphone ever! We picked it up to see what else it can possibly boast of! FIRST IMPRESSIONS Right out of the box, the Huawei Ascend P6 greeted us in Chinese. For some strange reason (which is explained later), Chinese was the default language, so we had to fiddle with it before we could get it to swap to English. The obvious launch pad – the homescreen of the smartphone sports the customisable ME w...

Kristy Love, 34, a massage therapist in Atlanta, says she offers rubdowns with her size 48NN breasts. A woman in Georgia is marketing her services in the breast way possible -- by giving massages with her size 48NN breasts. And, yes, bra sizes do go that large. Kristy Love,  34, a certified massage therapist in Atlanta, advertises herself on her website as "THE premiere CMT BBW body rub specialist taking Atlanta AND the world to an all new level of BBW adult entertainment." For those of you who need some explaining, "CMT" is a certified massage therapist. A "BBW" is a big, beautiful woman. Love's clients can get both normal and "sensual" massages, but her stack-in-trade is something called the "happy man works" where she rubs her gigantic bosoms over various parts of her client's body for $300 an hour. Love claims on her website that the mammary massage is supposed to "keep you focused in the pr...

These 9 inked-up people certainly stand out with their full-body tattoos. From the truly bizarre reptilian and vampire queen themes to checkers and puzzle pieces inspired art, these individuals stand by their awesome, inked-out bods. ERIC "LIZARDMAN" SPRAGUE Eric Sprague, who goes by the name Lizardman (further explanation not needed), has spent more than   700 hours   to give his face and body tattooed for his reptilian appearance. Lizardman also installed   teflon implants   on his forehead to create horned ridges, filed-down his teeth and split his tongue. "I'm a big Godzilla fan," Sprague told HuffPost. JULIA GNUSE Julian Gnuse holds the Guinness World Record as the world's most tattooed woman, with over 400 tattoos   covering 95 percent   of her body. Starting in 1991, her first tattoo was an octopus. After developing porphyria in her 30s, a skin condition that leaves her body scarred when exposed to sunlight, Gnuse ...

1 in Share The ASUS PadFone has been a very interesting concept that unfortunately has never made it stateside. It’s a smartphone just like any other Android smartphone. But once slid into the back of its tablet housing, it becomes a full fledged tablet, complete with the large 10-inch user interface and all of your apps molded to fit. ASUS has a new PadFone in the works. Literally, it’s called “the new PadFone Infinity.” Not very creative, but it’ll do. The device will have an upgraded Snapdragon 800 processor, along with the addition of a microSD slot and a white model to the lineup. It’s not a huge upgrade for those who already own the previous device, but it’s still a nice product refresh for those who were willing to buy it soon. The new PadFone Infinity will be launching on September 17 in Taipei, and the event will be hosted by ASUS CEO Jerry Shen. They have also posted a promotional video taking the “launch” literally, w...

Palace Lee/PacificCoastNews.com Well, at least she didn't have a  wardrobe malfunction . Miley Cyrus  continued making the promotional rounds for her forthcoming album  Bangerz in London Wednesday morning, where she was snapped leaving her hotel in a rather, er, interesting  ensemble. (On the up side, girl was fully clothed.) The 20-year-old pop star was all smiles in a pair of rather bizarre pants, which featured one skinny leg and one wide leg in addition to sexy sheer paneling on the skinny-leg side. PHOTOS: Miley's style evolution TGB / Splash News Cyrus skipped underwear, showing off the right side of her bum, which was strategically exposed by the minimal sheer material (à la  Gwyneth Paltrow 's  Iron Man 3   premiere gown ), while keeping her left leg covered up for the conservative quarter of her outfit. The fashionista added a matching cropped vest that concealed her tummy, as well as a tiny bra top to complete her sultry al...

A nation that just stepped back from the brink of conflict with Syria paused Wednesday to honor and reflect on the nearly 3,000 victims of 9/11, the day terrorist attacks spurred two other long-running conflicts in the Middle East. In New York, hundreds of friends and families of the victims stood silently — many holding photos of their loved ones — as bagpipes played. Relatives recited the names of those killed when two hijacked commercial airliners slammed into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers. Another plane that day crashed into the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., and a fourth plunged into the ground near Shanksville, Pa. President Obama marked the anniversary with a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House, along with first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Biden and wife Jill Biden. They walked out of the White House at 8:46 a.m. ET, the moment the first plane hit the World Trade Center tower. Bowing their heads in a moment of silence, ...
