More Information on WhatsApp

WhatsApp initially generated revenue by charging for downloads - a one-time fee of $.99 from iPhone users and an annual $.99 charge for Android users.
However, it hit the big payday in 2014 when it was acquired by Facebook for $19B. In February of 2016, WhatsApp announced that a billion people were using the messaging platform.
WhatsApp offers some fun features that make it worthwhile to experiment with. The desktop versions allow you to browse your hard drive for photos, videos, or documents that you can send right in the chat interface (make sure the receiver is using the latest version of the desktop client to ensure the most recent features are enabled).
If your computer has a webcam, you’re able to access it directly in the interface to take a photo that you can send via chat.
Another unique feature is voice-recorded messages. Start a recording by clicking on the microphone on the bottom right of the interface, and record a verbal message. Additionally, given WhatsApp’s huge user-base, it's likely that you have friends who are already using the service, so you can start interacting and chatting right away.
While the web and desktop versions of the app are convenient to use while you’re on your computer and enable you to comfortably chat using your keyboard, there are some limitations. Several features available on your mobile device are not available on your computer.
For instance, on your computer, you don’t have the option to invite people from your address book to join WhatsApp. You also can’t share your location or a map, which are two key features in the mobile version.
You must have WhatsApp installed on your phone in order to use the web and desktop clients. The application syncs directly with your mobile device, so be sure to be connected to a Wi-Fi network in order to avoid racking up expensive data charges.

Also, you can only have either the web client or the desktop client open at any given time; having one open with the other will automatically shut down the one not being used.

Top 5 Free Android games


Image result for top 5 android games 2018


Critical Ops

Price: Free with in-app purchases
DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY
Critical Ops is among the newer generation of first person shooters and it’s one of the best. In this title, you’ll battle terrorists in a variety of urban-oriented levels or you can play as the terrorists if you want to. It has a strong online multiplayer community where you can play with your friends as well. It’s still a work in progress, but it seems to hit all the right marks and it’s updated frequently. If you’d like a first person shooter that’s completely free, NOVA 3: Freedom Edition is quite good as well. They're both free Android games worth checking out                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Asphalt 8: Airborne or Asphalt: Xtreme

Price: Free with in-app purchases
DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY

When it comes to racing games without an up-front price tag, Gameloft has real winners with Asphalt Xtreme and Asphalt 8: Airborne. The former is an offroad style racer with a variety of tracks, online multiplayer, and various vehicles that you can unlock. Asphalt 8: Airborne is an older game, but has a metric ton of content for you to play through. It also has online multiplayer and other activities to play. These are both very solid racing games considering their free price tag, but their in-app purchase strategy is a little aggressive. They’re great experiences. They're both excellent free Android games.

Unkilled
Unkilled

Price: Free with in-app purchases

DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY

UNKILLED was one of the best free Android games of 2015. This is a zombie shooter where your job is to accept missions and then dive into the various scenarios and slaughter all of the zombies. There are over 300 missions and many of them include boss fights. You’ll also find over 50 weapons, some of the best mobile graphics we’ve seen so far, and there are some online multiplayer aspects to the game as well. It comes from the same developers who did Dead Trigger 2 (Madfinger Games) which was a mainstay on previous versions of this very list for years. You can pick this up for free but there are in-app purchases so do beware of those.

Vainglory

Vainglory










  
Price: Free with in-app purchases
DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY

Vainglory is perhaps the best MOBA currently available on Android. It boasts high frame rates, unlimited free play, and solid connections. You’ll be able to team up with people and go head to head against other teams much like you see in all MOBAs. There are also decent graphics, more than 25 heroes to unlock and play with, and you can play with (or against) bots if you so choose. There is also a beta version that can use the Vulkan API if you want to check that out. It's one of the better free Android games.


NOVA Legacy

NOVA Legacy







Price: Free with in-app purchases
DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY

NOVA was one of the first successful first person shooters on Android. NOVA Legacy is the latest installment and it's already one of the best free Android games. It comes pack with better than average graphics and controls. There is also a story line, online multiplayer mode, and a rudimentary crafting system. The game has a sc-fi story line. Thus it brings something a little different than most mobile shooters. It'll no doubt be one of the best games released in 2017.

Two ex-Google engineers built an entirely different kind of self-driving car







A new startup that proposes a different spin on autonomous transportation came out of stealth today. The company, called Nuro.ai, was founded by two former lead Google engineers who worked on the famed self-driving car project. Unlike the plethora of self-driving startups out there, Nuro.ai isn't focused on reconfiguring robot taxis or autonomous trucks, but on designing a new type of vehicle altogether.
Nuro is focused on deliveries, specifically the kind that are low-speed, local, and last-mile: groceries, laundry, or your take-out order from Seamless. The startup thinks that automating these services could help shoulder the sharp increase in last-mile deliveries, while also reducing traffic accidents and boosting local businesses who are looking for ways to thrive and compete in the age of Amazon.
low-speed, local, and last-mile
And their timing couldn't be better. The converging trends of robotics, self-driving cars, and e-commerce are leading to an explosion of interest in the last-mile delivery challenge. Consumers are ordering more items online than ever before, and there is a growing expectation for shorter and shorter delivery windows. A recent study by McKinsey put the global price tag of last-mile delivery every year at around $86 billion, with staggering year-over-year growth rates.
While it works out the kinks in its drone delivery project, Amazon is also considering using self-driving robots, having just filed a patent for an autonomous ground vehicle. Toyota unveiled its bizarre “e-palette” concept at CES this year. Meanwhile, Starship Technologies has sidewalk-only delivery robots making trips in California, Washington, DC, Germany, and the UK. Last year, Ford Motor Company teamed up with Domino's to deliver pizza via a self-driving car. And later today, a Northern Californian startup called Udelv is demonstrating what it calls “the world's first public-road autonomous delivery test,” in which a self-driving van (with human safety driver) will deliver goods from the high-end Draeger's Market chain in the Bay Area city of San Mateo.


 Nuro is taking a different approach. Rather than dress up a Lexus crossover or a Ford Focus in self-driving hardware and throw some grocery sacks inside, their engineers have built something entirely new from the ground up. At first glance, Nuro's R1 prototype (just an internal nickname and not the official name) looks like a giant lunchbox on wheels, or maybe even a mobile toaster. If anything, Nuro's first vehicle looks more like the original “Firefly” prototypes that Google officially retired last summer than anything you'd see on the road today.

A giant lunchbox on wheels
But a closer inspection reveals that the “handle” on the roof is actually a platform for the vehicle's sensor array, which includes LIDAR, cameras, and radars. And a peek through the windshield will also reveal the complete absence of traditional controls like steering wheels, foot pedals, and gear shifts. There's no driver seat because humans were not meant to operate this vehicle.
That said, Nuro is designing its vehicles for remote operation, placing it alongside startups such as Phantom Autoand others that are working on remotely operated driverless vehicles. But real-time teleoperation has its challenges, such as signal latency and other issues. To gain enough confidence for public deployment, Nuro is using a fleet of six self-driving cars to collect data and optimize routes, which then gets fed into its prototype vehicles. Nuro has received a permit from the California DMV and plans to start testing on public roads later this year. But the company will need sign-off from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration before it can operate in states where regulation prohibits completely human-free driving.
“We've built the full software stack from scratch. There are a lot of components that are shared with general self-driving, and some things that are a bit different,” said Dave Ferguson who, along with Jiajun Zhu, co-founded Nuro. “We've been able to architecture this thing from scratch, geared toward this passenger-less, goods-only transportation.”
Ferguson said they considered building the R1 to drive on sidewalks but ultimately decided to make it road-worthy instead. The vehicle is about as tall as a Toyota Highlander but only about half the width, which Ferguson said is one of its standout features. This skinniness translates into a 3 to 4-foot “buffer” around the R1 so other vehicles and pedestrians can maneuver safely around it.
“Even if you have the perfect self-driving vehicle, if someone pops out between two parked cars and it's within your stopping distance, you can't prevent that accident,” he said. “Whereas if you have a vehicle that's half the width, and you've got an extra three or four feet of clearance, you can avoid it... and you have room to maneuver around them. You can better design the vehicle to mitigate the severity of any accident.”

There are some challenges to Nuro's business model, specifically how customers will receive their deliveries from the self-driving delivery pod. No driver means no one to ring your doorbell or trudge up four flights of stairs to hand over your pad thai. Ferguson says he envisions customers using — what else? — an app to inform them when the vehicle has arrived in front of their building or in their driveway. They would then be given a code that pops open the vehicle's side hatches so they can retrieve their items. They are also considering using facial recognition technology. But what's to prevent people from stealing someone else's deliveries? There are still a lot of details that need to be worked out, Ferguson acknowledged.

Ferguson and Zhu are two guys who know more than a little about autonomous driving. Zhu was one of the founding engineers of Google's self-driving team, while Ferguson was a leading software engineer on the team. Both left Google at the same time as its chief technology officer Chris Urmson, who has since gone on to start his own self-driving company, Aurora.
Aside from a brief internship at Intel, Zhu had spent much of his career at Google and was the self-driving team's principal software engineer from 2008-2016. Ferguson came to Google in 2011 after a stint at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute, which has been at the forefront of the autonomous driving revolution. He served as the principal computer-vision and machine-learning engineer at Google before leaving with Zhu in late 2016 to start Nuro. Since then, they've attracted talent from the likes of Google, Apple, Tesla, Waymo, and GM to build out their team.
Nuro has already raised $92 million in two rounds of fundraising and is in talks with a number of retailers and delivery providers about possible partnerships. A likelier outcome is Nuro gets quickly bought up by a company like Amazon. The race to develop self-driving technology has sparked a furious round of mergers and acquisitions over the past few years, the rate of which has yet to subside.
Ferguson said that he hopes Nuro's fresh approach to self-driving — focusing on delivering goods rather than people — hopefully means that Nuro will stand out from the pack.
“Almost all of the big players in self-driving passenger transportation are really, really focused on that application because for many of them it's an existential threat,” Ferguson said. “And most of them feel that goods transportation is going to be a follow-on application. For us, we felt, in and of its own right, it was an important enough problem and one that we could make real headway on earlier than passenger transportation.”
He added, “That makes us sound smarter or more cunning than we are ... It makes sense for them to be focused on that, but it also leaves open a pretty big opportunity to go after this other area.”

Will there be Jobs in near Future???






With Artificial Intelligence gaining prominence,the question that's been nagging everyone is -"Will AI replace humans and leave us unemployed in near future?".


 Well, this was a major point of discussion at EmTech china conference and two contrasting opinions being presented by top minds of the world.While most reassured everyone that it'll only be the dumb/ repetitive tasks that will be taken over by AI,others were of  the opinion that AI is learning to be creative and replace humans as artists,musicians or translators as well.

SpaceX's Rocket to Take Launch





After numerous delays, SpaceX is now ready to launch its new powerful "Falcon Heavy" rocket into space.The takeoff for their rocket has been set for February 6.
If this launch is successful the Falcon Heavy will be the powerful rocket(that's capable of carrying around 64,000 kg of payload).This private space company has already conducted a fire test for the rocket and the launch is a go.

 But,what's even more interesting about this launch is the dummy payload.Yes,an original Tesla Roadster (Musk's very own) is being sent out on a journey to Mars.
