Your Google Account Will Not Have a Password in Future

It is confirmed folks; Google is indeed testing a new way of signing into your Google account without typing in the password. Those who have been invited, and the number is limited, log in by responding to a notification that is sent to their respective smartphone. The idea is somewhat similar to the Yahoo’s ‘Account Key’.

Filipino priest grounded by church for gliding on hoverboard during mass

Is hoverboard a menace or the future? It seems as if the world is struggling to decide and meanwhile we are left with incidents that involve the use of hoverboard and the response that these incidents manage to get is surprising. During the last week of holidays, a priest in the Philippines was seen riding a hoverboard down the aisle while a mass was going on and singing a song to his congregation.

The First REAL Hoverboard

The First REAL Hoverboard – ArcaBoard, Is Here. This Is How It Works

Hoverboard concepts have been teasing us for quite some time now and while so-called hoverboards have been released, they don’t really fit the definition of a hoverboard that we are familiar with thanks to Back to The Future: Part II. The recent addition to the hoverboard family is the ArcaBoard that has been created by the aerospace company, Arca and is being called the real deal where the gadget is capable of hovering and cruising about a foot above any surface.

What is 5G?

Just five years after the first 4G smartphone hit the market, the wireless industry is already preparing for 5G.

Each of the four nationwide cell phone carriers, as well as smartphone chipmakers and the major network equipment companies are working on developing 5G network technology for their customers.

There are many significant hurdles that all the industry players have to clear before you'll see a little 5G symbol next to the signal bars on your smartphone screen. For example, it has yet to be determined what 5G even means, let alone what it will look like and when it will get here.

But as consumers use up rapidly growing amounts of 4G bandwidth watching streaming videos on their phones, 5G will soon become a necessity. As telecom engineers work furiously to develop 5G technology, we're getting a clearer picture of the who, what, where, when and why of 5G.

FIRST NIGERIAN PRODUCED TABLET

Vantium V1 Tablet PC

The iPad by Apple opened a new market segment of people that will like to have a device more mobile and convenient to use than a laptop, at the same time that has a larger screen with more functionality than a smart phone. 90% of computer users today basically use their computers for the following; Browsing, Pictures, Video, Games, Reading and Music (when it comes to leisure) and Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint (when they need to work)

Research showed us that a lot of people that bought the iPad found it only useful for play/leisure but useless when they needed to work, particularly with Microsoft Office documents. In addition to this was the fact that, it was very difficult to move files from their laptop to the TabletPC and vice versa. They only carry it around as a status symbol but ended up using their laptop for serious work.

The Vantium v1 is created to remove this frustration; it is designed for work and also fantastic for play. It is lighter and faster than the iPad, you can create/edit/view Microsoft documents on the go, you can connect your FlashDisk or external hard disk as large as 250 GB and copy files directly into the Vantium v1. Enjoy Vantium to Vantium chatting just like blackberry to blackberry pinging. Get local and international news on the go (no need to buy newspaper anymore), has inbuilt 3G – just insert SIM card and start browsing. Take unlimited pictures, shoot videos with the front and rear camera. The Vantium v1 is currently going through certification by DSTV to allow people watch DSTV live on the Vantium v1.

The Vantium v1 is perfect for everyday computing which allows you do all that you would normally do on your laptop and even more. The Vantium will do to the laptop what the laptop did to desktop computers. The Vantium will reduce your use of the laptop for everyday computer usage. With the Vantium, you may not need to carry your laptop everywhere you go again. The interesting thing is that you can have all these wonderful benefits at about half the price of its peers
