Ever wanted to keep a backup of your chats with friends or family on WhatsApp ??? Well if you really wanted to, there is a reason for you to be happy. The developers at WhatsApp have been hyper active in the past few days. They rolled out the voice calling feature earlier and now have given the users an option to back up their messages on Google Drive with the latest update.
Currently under testing WhatsApp now allows the users to backup and restore their conversation history and media to Google Drive. To activate Google Drive as a backup option, after installing the new updated version, users need to provide access to the Google account. Users can then select the frequency of backup and even whether the backup should be on Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi and cellular networks. The service currently backs up only conversations and images, videos are not included.
For quite a time now we have seen leaks details of Sony of their flagship device for the year 2015 the Xperia Z4 and we know almost every detail of the device even before the company officially announced the Sony Xperia Z4 at Japan.There has been mixed results as to what people think of the Z4 which seems to be more of a spec bump than a new model,so they have played it safe this time round again,similar to the Z3 however I like these model’s personally so look forward to seeing the new flagship.
Sony Xperia Z4 has a 5.2 inch Triluminos display with Live Colour LED powered by X-Reality engine, 600 cd brightness and resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The device is equipped to lure the mobile photography enthusiasts like it’s predecessor, boasting a 20.7 MP rear auto focus camera with f Exmor RS sensor and LED flash and for selfie lovers has a front facing 5.1 MP camera with Exmor R sensor.
Xperia Z4 is powered by the octa core Snapdragon 810 processor with 4G support, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. The device runs Android Lollipop and gets its energy with a 2930 mAh battery. The device has IPX5 / IPX8 ratings for dust and water resistance. The handset is available in White, Black, Copper and Aqua Green colour options. Pricing and global roll out details were not mentioned either leaving fans in more doubt.
One Plus have announced its ditched the silly invite system in order to buy the device,this means now the device can be bought globally without having to wait for an invite or getting one from a friend. This is good news for one of the best affordable handsets to hit the market over the last year.I was never a fan of the invite idea but it worked out well for them in the end and they produced a super device so hats off to them.
Starting today, the One will be available without an invite. Forever.
“That’s right. In our first big celebration of the One’s successful year, we are opening up sales globally for everyone, every day of the week. We have always wanted to put great products into the hands of more people. And, we now feel confident that we have matured enough to handle the increased complexity that comes along with opening up sales completely.
With the experiences we’ve gained with the One, we will be far more prepared to make the same transition with the OnePlus 2. Yes, the 2 will initially launch with invites. We’re committed to maintaining razor-thin margins in order to give as much value as possible back to our users, and this drastically increases our risk. The OnePlus 2 will bring the challenges that come along with a brand new product, and initially, our invite system will help us to manage that risk. It also helps us to be sure that every OnePlus 2 user gets the amazing experience that they deserve.”
In the meantime there is a promotion running for One Plus fans for 24HRS
For just 24 hours, we’re offering a 75% discount on OnePlus Flip Covers and Premium Screen Protectors. Additionally, Bamboo StyleSwap covers will now be available without an invite (while supplies last). Please note that these promotions are only valid in the following regions: USA/Canada, the European Union, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
This is a quick first look a the first move into the SmartWatch arena from Hannspree,with a new budget wearable costing around £29.99.This is a very minimalistic design and effort but its making it tempting with its price for people to move into the smart watch game,its slowly taking off and now with many alternatives we are spoilt for choice,mostly expensive but fitness trackers are cheaper now than ever and they will continue to drop in price for sure..

The Hannspree sport watch gives us a few ways to track things such as a pedometer,weight loss tracking.sleep monitoring and message notifications.also sorting a long battery life it will make it attractive to some,with an Oled display which the digits are small you will get about 8-10 days of life. You can download a companion app from the store and simply sync to your watch via bluetooth and its good to go..Find out how we got on over the coming days,check out our unboxing and quick look below.
Whilst chatting about the One Plus today amongst some friends they have given us a little teaser on FaceBook and Twitter,although it just shows a photo of an envelope its says nothing more than the date. 20th April and “Youre invited! Also on Google Plus they say “From here on out, anything could happen”
What could it be ? The new One Plus 2,although its perhaps a bit too soon, or perhaps something else,time will tell and we sure are curious.
How cool it would be if we had the same system at work as well as at home without having to switch the user all the time? I know it would make life much much easier organising stuffs separately for all kinds of personalities I possess. Like a complete desktop for travel related stuffs, then other for blogging, another one for office, one more for photography…and so on… Well folks the good guys developing the Windows10 at Microsoft seem to have heard this need and now Virtual Desktops come in built with Windows10. Read on to know more about Virtual Desktops on Windows 10.
The team at Microsoft had a few goals while developing the Virtual Desktop. Here are some high-level goals which they identified:
Give you more desktop space to group related windows
Help you quickly locate and switch to any window or group of windows
Let you easily re-organize your groups and move windows as tasks evolve
Keep you in control of the degree of separation between your grouped windows
Add as many desktops as you need
Design
To add a new desktop simply click the task view button on your taskbar and click the “new desktop” button. Just like how you can run as many application windows as you like, there’s also no limit to how many desktops you can create.
Task view is also where you can go to switch between desktops. The top part of this view shows previews of the windows you have open, just like Alt+Tab. However, task view also is able to filter this list when you create virtual desktops, so only the relevant windows appear. Under that you will find the list of desktops you have open. The labels along with accurate previews make it easy to find what you want to switch to. However, what if you’re trying to find that music player and you forgot which desktop you had it on? With hover preview it really is a breeze. Just hover over each desktop preview and Windows will let you peek into any desktop to see what windows are open there. That’s right, no need to switch to one desktop at a time to search for the window you’re looking for! You can even click on the app preview from task view to bring that window straight to the top.
You can now drag any window into the desktop you want to move it to right from task view. You can even drag a thumbnail to the “new desktop” button to create and move it to a new desktop in one step.
For the keyboard inclined users, you’ll appreciate some of these shortcut combos to accelerate your virtual desktop experience.
WIN + CTRL + LEFT/RIGHT: Switch to previous or next desktop
WIN + CTRL + D: Create a new desktop
WIN + CTRL + F4: Close the current desktop
WIN + TAB: Launch task view

Millions of phones get lost or stolen every year worldwide and when it comes to finding them it can be a hassle,although there is a find my phone app on Android already this can make things a bit easier because you can now do it from your desktop or home PC. This would be handy for an actual theft or if you misplaced your device at home or at a friends perhaps.
All you need to do is sign in with your Google Account and your device obviously must be on and you must have the latest update of the Google search app on your device.
It all may sound familiar to Android users as you can use device manager alongside other apps to locate and erase data etc.Now from your desktop this can be done which is quite handy and it works here in Ireland too..As you can see on image above you can then ring your device,then below as pictured an icon will appear on your device and you phone will ring for 5 mins.Pretty neat.
Twitter has given itself a new look on the web,this has been experimented on some time now but for now its for US only,where have we heard that before…but it will roll out to more over time,the aim is to entice more users.
