Dual SIMizenship

Like many other Nokia devices, there will also be a Dual-SIM model of the Nokia 220.

The Dual-SIM feature can be useful in a number of ways; using one for work and one for pleasure; one for local use and one for low-cost international calling. The possibilities are endless and incredible for a mobile phone in this price range.

The Nokia 220 support GSM 900/1800 bandwidths and possess an amazing 13-hour talk time. What’s more exceptional is that it’ll playback your media for up to 51 hours in one stint.

You will even be able to see in the dark thanks to the integrated flashlight.

Its look is distinctively Nokia, taking both heritage and contemporary design cues and creating a sophisticated device that belies its price.

The Nokia 220 comes in a range of eye-catching, inherent colored covers – red, black, white, yellow, cyan – with matching keypads. The quality of the materials and our attention to detail will ensure the Nokia 220 will keep up with the rigors of everyday use.

#FaceBook to create #LookBack videos when you die .#RememberingOurLovedOnes #JTB

Facebook have plans to make videos of the past when you die,this falls into the question many people ask what happens to your digital legacy now facebook are moving in on this territory..

 

By Chris Price and Alex DiSclafani, Facebook Community Operations

As members of Facebook’s Community Operations team, we talk to people who use Facebook every day and we’re committed to making their experience better. Some of the people who reach out to us are grieving the death of a friend or family member, and they usually ask for their loved one’s timeline to be memorialized.

Over the past several months, we’ve been thinking about and working on better ways for people to remember loved ones. As we continue to think through each aspect of memorialization, we ask ourselves questions that have no easy answers: How might people feel? Are we honoring the wishes and legacy of the person who passed away? Are we serving people who are grieving the loss of a loved one as best we can?

Based on conversations inspired by these questions, we’ve decided to make an important change to how we preserve legacies on Facebook. Up to now, when a person’s account was memorialized, we restricted its visibility to friends-only. This meant that people could no longer see the account or any of its content unless they were Facebook friends with the person who passed away. Starting today, we will maintain the visibility of a person’s content as-is. This will allow people to see memorialized profiles in a manner consistent with the deceased person’s expectations of privacy. We are respecting the choices a person made in life while giving their extended community of family and friends ongoing visibility to the same content they could always see.

Today, we’re also glad to begin offering a way for anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one to see that person’s “Look Back” video. In recognition of our ten-year anniversary, a group of our engineers created personal movies for people using some of the posts and photos they had shared over the years. For one man in Missouri, the Look Back video he was most desperate to watch was one that had not yet been made. John Berlin reached out to ask if it was possible for Facebook to create a video for his son, Jesse, who passed away in 2012. We had not initially made the videos for memorialized accounts, but John’s request touched the hearts of everyone who heard it, including ours.

 

Since then, many others have asked us to share the Look Back videos of their loved ones, too, and we’re now glad to be able to fulfill those requests (video requests can be made here).

Changes like this are part of a larger, ongoing effort to help people when they face difficult challenges like bereavement on Facebook. We will have more to share in the coming months as we continue to think through how best to help people decide how they want to be remembered and what they want to leave behind for loved ones.

Updates to the Dropbox Terms of Service and Privacy Policy #Dropbox #JTB

Drop box users have new terms of service and privacy policy

From dropbox!

 

Hi Jim,

We want to let you know about some upcoming updates to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. These updates will go into effect onMarch 24, 2014.

You can find more details on our blog, but here’s a quick overview:

 

  • We’re adding an arbitration section to our updated Terms of Service. Arbitration is a quick and efficient way to resolve disputes, and it provides an alternative to things like state or federal courts where the process could take months or even years. If you don’t want to agree to arbitration, you can easily opt out via an online form, within 30-days of these Terms becoming effective. This form, and other details, are available on our blog.
  • We’ve added a section to our Privacy Policy that discusses our recently launched Government Data Request Principles. We’ve also made clarifications to better explain how our services will use your information. For example, we explain that when you give us access to your contacts, we’ll store them so that you – and only you – can do things like share your stuff easily, no matter what device you’re using.
  • We’ve also updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to better explain and reflect our growing list of features for Dropbox for Business customers.

While we’ve simplified much of the language, our commitment to keeping your stuff safe and secure hasn’t changed. We don’t sell your personal information to third parties. We don’t serve ads based on the stuff you store in our services. As always, your stuff is yours.

If you have any questions about these updates, you can read more onour blog or email us at tos-questions@dropbox.com.

Thanks for using Dropbox!
