FACEBOOK IT ROCKING!

Facebook Is Now Worth $190 Billion
Facebook is worth more than Amazon. Following yesterday’s earnings report, Facebook shares hit an all-time high in after-hours trading at $75. Price has been very stable this morning as well, confirming yesterday’s pop. Shares opened at $75.96 a share, then set a new record at $76.74. Now, shares are trading at $75.13.
In other words, Facebook’s market capitalization is now around $190 billion, which is above Amazon’s market capitalization of $165 billion.
With $2.91 billion in revenue and earnings of $0.42 per share, the company beat the analysts’ expectations. When you see Facebook’s earnings chart, it seems like there is no end in sight. Facebook is a great example of a tech company that has performed very well since going public.
It could have bigger consequences on the stock market. Investors could become bullish on other tech stocks due to Facebook’s good performance.
Facebook is a much different company than it was when it went public in May 2012. At the time, most of its users were browsing the social network on their laptops, and the company’s ad offering wasn’t as effective as it could be. Now, most users go to Facebook on their phones, and the mobile ads are performing very well.
But if you look back even further, nobody would have thought five years ago that Facebook would be worth more than Amazon, around half of Google and Microsoft. One last number, Facebook is now worth more than eight times Twitter.

GOD IS NOT JOKING!

Listen to Ezekiel 8:18-9:8-10 and that is what God is saying. I know many of you will ignore it and or won’t care to read those verses.
The destruction of Nigeria is ongoing and the total destruction is near, those who have participated in all sorts of atrocities against God via their treatment to mankind will be consumed. God is not joking and will not pity those found wanting.
It should be of paramount importance to anyone concerned to amend his/her ways, In Ezekiel 9:8, when the destruction, killing, and fury of God was upon Israel and Judah someone and a handful of people was saved or left alone, will you be among those that will be saved or left alone in the ongoing and upcoming doom prepared to befall Nigeria.
Below is a recap of why Nigeria will be totally destroyed by God:
1.       Nigeria is full of murder.
2.       Nigeria is full of corruption.
3.       Nigeria is full of deceit.
4.       Nigeria is full of idolatry.
5.       Nigeria is full of cheating.
6.       The Nigerian society hates the poor and those at the helm of the nation’s affairs are deceiving the people.
7.       The churches in Nigeria do not preach salvation anymore, and their teachings are geared towards mentally enslaving the people.
8.       Fornication and adultery is another name for those who takes front seats in the church, nowadays.
9.       A handful of people can be trusted in Nigeria.
10.   Nigerians are only interested in worshipping God because of what they will get and not for salvation; therefore, the name Nigeria is synonymous to mediocre, hypocrisy, jealousy, greed, hatred, fallacy, falsehood, and above all failure.

Therefore, if you want to be saved, stay away from evil and those who perpetrate evil. Thanks for your time, always read the bible with deep reasoning and apply the word of God in your daily life, remember to always ask God to direct you in all your ways. He who has ears let him hear, Mark 4:9. God bless you. Please like this page https://www.facebook.com/godiwus; for more of undiluted truth about God and His blessings.

TECH NEWS: For Blackberry the born shall rise again, The last from BB.

The Passport, Its Square Tablet and Phone



BlackBerry previously gave us a sneak peek at a device that’s as category-busting as the revolutionary Padfone, called the Passport. I expressed my …uncertainty regarding the wisdom of the design decisions made in creating this 4.5-inch square thing with a hardware keyboard then. But now it’s BlackBerry’s turn to articulate some of its reasoningbehind the Passport, with a blog post in which it avoids calling it either a phone or a tablet directly.
The blog post asks “Why?” in italics on a line all its own, so BlackBerry at least is aware this is a weird device that has some people, like myself, scratching their heads. The 4.5-inch screen on the gadget is square, not rectangular, meaning it’s almost as wide as two iPhones placed side-by-side.
The answer to “Why?” begins with something about academic typology, which isn’t a great way to explain a design decision for a mobile device in my opinion. But wait! The academic stuff means that the Passport is supposedly the optimal size for reading e-books, paging through documents and reading the text-heavy portions of the web. WHICH IS WHAT BUSINESS PEOPLE DO!
BlackBerry blogger Matt Young goes on to articulate a few different scenarios where the Passport’s unique ID will make it an ideal digital companion, including for architects and real estate professionals switching between blueprints and contract docs; doctors checking X-rays and patient info forms; financiers watching the stock market bob up and down; and writers looking for the joys only a real physical keyboard can bring.
I remain skeptical, but BlackBerry is at least taking a different approach to the smartphone/tablet/whatever-mobile-computer, the design of all which has been largely normalized over the past few years. Basically, though, at this point the only question that remains is whether this is a better or worse idea than the noveltylicious curved screen smartphone.

TECH NEWS - Apple is making almost all their products Glass

Apple has patented a method for building devices with all-glass outer casings (viaAppleInsider), by fusing pieces together for a completely seamless final look. The all-glass device casings could be used to hold the internals of an iOS device or to house a TV or monitor, too.
The all-glass structures are designed for maximum durabiliaty but also weight savings, with designs that fuse pieces together to avoid having to use a single heavy block of material, and internal structures like fused-on ribs and reinforcement points, also made of glass, placed at key points where structural integrity could be weaker.
Unlike the iPhone 4, which featured front and back glass panels, the patent would allow Apple to build completely glass-encased gadgets, which would allow for a completely different aesthetic versus other gadget-maker’s designs. An all-glass Retina Cinema Display would certainly stand out from the crowd in terms of monitors, and an all-glass iPhone would definitely draw even more headlines than usual.
Of course, glass is still subject to impact damage and other potential pitfalls. And as with many of its other patents, Apple may simply have experimented with the tech but then moved on to something else (like sapphire glass construction, for instance), but the patent does cite Apple SVP Jony Ive as one of its main inventors. Flat glass slabs are a staple of sci-fi TV and movies, after all, so maybe Apple wants to help usher that future into production.

Blackberry is at it again!

BlackBerry Is One Of The Hottest Stocks Of 2014, Seriously


Don’t look now, but BlackBerry — you know, the butt of most cell phone jokes — is mounting an impressive comeback. BlackBerry’s stock is up 50 percent on the year and one of the best performers in its sector.
BlackBerry has been written off as dead countless times. The company is often viewed as a relic of a bygone era. Its CEO is a blowhard, not afraid to take spats with the company public. Yet the company is creating value for its shareholders.
In 2014 BlackBerry’s stock is outperforming all its peers. At the beginning of the year, the company’s stock was languishing at $7.44 a share. Yesterday it closed at $11.21. The stock is also up in trading today.
Apple is up just 20 percent on the year. Google? Just 5 percent, although it’s a touch easier for a struggling company to rebound than an established company to double its stock price.
The Motley Fool recently looked at the company’s financials and caution the company has yet to improve its revenue growth or its profit margin. The company is simply slashing costs and not making waves. So far, investors are liking that approach.
The company is also making some strategic moves. BlackBerry has leveraged its established Messenger app, positioning it as a WhatsApp for the lucrative enterprise market.
The company also released minor updates to its BB10 mobile operating system and turned to niche and developing markets for additional handset sales. Essentially, by not doing a lot this year, BlackBerry hasn’t done anything wrong. That could change.
The company’s long-term future is still in question. Its mobile market share is still shrinking and Apple and Android makers are increasingly adding features once exclusive to BlackBerry devices. If BlackBerry is to remain, it will need to do more than cut costs and add stickers to BBM.
