Yet another Beta on WindowsPhone Store – VLC for WP Beta #WindowsPhone #VLC #App by @Tiwaash

Finally after long wait and hundreds of rumors the famous portable, free and open-source, cross platform media player VLC has silently made its way to WindowsPhone Store, though in Beta. VLC media player is very popular as it supports many audio and video file formats.

Not much to celebrate as it is available to only a few registered Beta testers, like how BBM was made available earlier, right now. It looks like soon we might have VLC for WP for every WindowsPhone user.

The UI is typical WindowsPhone styled with flat tiles and pivots room left to right. The player though looks sleek and is responsive. We will keep you updated once the app is made universal.

This is available only to WP8.1 users. Check the app coming from VideoLabs on WindowsPhone Store here.

Stay tuned for more updates and tech buzz.

Whatsapp is now one of the most secure messaging apps by @VicenteA_George #WhatsApp #Android

After the acquisition of Whatsapp by facebook all customers were worry about the destiny of the app (us included).

But this week Whatsapp for Android received an update with an awesome new feature! “End-to-End encryption”.

WhatsApp

“End-to-end” means that “the people behind the curtain” won’t be able to know what the persons in the conversation are talking about. The company will serve as connection between users, but only the two users will have access to the conversation itself.

WhatsApp partnered with Open Whisper Systems for the launch, using open source code to build in the new features.

Earlier this year, a big scandal saw light regarding the US NSA and others (like facebook, Apple and if I’m not wrong Google) from let the government have access to personal data of their clients.

Back then a new hope emerge from the ashes to help us all, the new app Telegram became available in almost all app stores. Now this app is available for all platforms.

Telegram

With this new feature Whatsapp turns itself in the biggest messaging app to offer this kind of security. (the app have almost 600 millions actives users)

It’s still unknown when or if this feature will be avaible for WP and IOS but having it in Android is awesome!

You can download the new version of whatsapp here, in case you haven’t already (Android only)

And if you want to try something new but equally great, you can download Telegram here.

Tell us in the comments what do you think about this new feature? And stay tuned for more Tech Info!

Drop – The Irish start-up that brings tech to the kitchen

 

Drop is a new kitchen innovation created by four Irish techies that just so happened to have an empty stomach and an idea at the same time.

Drop is a teardrop shaped measuring plate that pairs with an iPad app to turn cooking into something that doesn’t bring on sighs of complaint. It brings you through preparation, cooking and even serving – but it also has a few tricks up it’s sleeve that make it even more appealing. The Drop app knows that there’s a high chance that we just used our last bottle of vanilla extract, or whatever ingredient you can’t find in the back of the press – so it suggests alternatives to these ingredients with the click of a button, pretty neat right?

As well as that, say you only have 300g of flour, but you need 400g, just tell the app this and it’ll automatically adjust the amount of all the other ingredients so that whatever you’re making still turns out great.

What really makes sure of this device’s success though is it’s tie in with Harvey-Norman stores, as Co- founder and CEO Ben Harris says that they’ll be “in every store in Ireland”. This is a great achievement for them as it will ensure great sales, speaking of which, the device is set to cost €99.95 and can be bought on the 24th of November.
