Hey guys, we just entered into a new month, How was last month? mine was great and I hope yours was the same as well.. Anyways, to kick-off my posts for this ''great'' new week, I really want to touch an issue that has been heating me up lately; apart from the 2015 Nigeria Presidential Election. It's phishing.

A smart window covering that can be used  to block heats and light passing through windows in homes, cars and even aircraft to make them cooler or warmer as weather changes has been created by a team of US scientists.  The nanocrystal glass unlike a normal pane of glass, is a energy saver, It reduces the cost of electricity bills of those living in the US, or hotter regions so to speak.
Potentially, the smart glass is transparent, but when a charge is sent, it becomes dark, thereby blocking the heat or light that enters a building.

What have you done by accident? I know most us have different answers to this question. But do you know that an accident has led to the finding of the ''impossible material'', the Upsalite?
A team of Swedish researchers have solved a century old chemistry problem by accidentally producing the material after they left it running for over a weekend. They came back only to find that a new material, which Scientist have been trying to find for more than 100 years, had been formed. The Upsalite is an anhydrous form of Magnesium

Finnish phone maker Nokia yesterday teamed up with one of Nigeria biggest telecom operator, Airtel and launched the Nokia 501 and 210 in Lagos, Nigeria.

The event was stage at Airtel's office in Banana island Ikoyi and was attended by the creams of both Nokia and Airtel and Journalists from different media houses.
At the event, Vice President, central Africa of Nokia, Nick Imudia and Airtel operator account manager, Beatrice Olumesi described the new phones as right option for the Nigerian market. Because the consumer has access to different apps and also choice of colour to buy.

Billionaire media mogul, Oprah Winfrey tells us all that she faced at a boutique in Switzerland. While she was in Switzerland to attend the wedding of her longtime Friend, Musician Tina Turner, she decided to go on a shopping in a Zurich boutique.She asked for a black handbag, but the clerk at the fashion store refused to show her the $38,000 handbag because she believes the billionaire media mogul can't afford it, claiming it's ''too expensive.''

Like Tim Berners-Lee posted on Twitter ''how to get all your big sisters passwords'', Google Chrome browser could put you in great risk. There is a security flaw in the highly touted seemingly secure browser, Google Chrome. Which allow anyone in possession of your computer to have access to passwords stored without having to use password to view them.

First to discovered this is one New Zealand Developer named Elliot Kember. His comment '' "In a world where Google promotes its browser on YouTube, in cinema pre-rolls, and on billboards, the clear audience is not developers. It's the mass market - the users. The overwhelming majority. They don't know it works like this. They don't expect it to be this easy to see their passwords. Every day, millions of normal, every-day users are saving their passwords in Chrome. This is not okay.". 
To make matters worst, Google developers were aware of the security flaw in Chrome browser, but simply said there was nothing they could do.

Chrome as we all know, is among the three most widely used web browsers worldwide.

LG at a press conference in New York today, launched its latest flagship device, the LG G2, which the phone maker hope to compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4, iPhone 5 and any other Android phone in the market.
The LG G2 does appear uncommon. Having the volume rocker and power buttons not on the side of the device, but are located on the phone's back side.
Like the Samsung Galaxy S4, the LG G2 sport a 13mega pixel camera on the back, runs  4.2.2 and has 1080p HD display. The phone is large too. With a diagonal screen size of 5.2inch.
Furthermore, other specs include: a 2GB RAM( no phone does that), 3000mAh battery and comes in either 16GB and 32GB internal storage. You can't expand it via a microSD, so make a good choice when buying.

Reminder.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos recently signed a deal with The Washington post  to acquire the company newspaper operations for $250 million, thereby ending the long term control of the Graham  family.
