Finally Apple iOS gets WhatsApp calling

Finally after weeks of waiting after the WhatsApp launched an update of voice-calling on all the Android devices, recently WhatsApp people introduced the feature of free voice calling. Now, Apple iPhone users will also have the option of voice-calling,given they update it to the latest version.

WhatsApp generated the update naming it as “WhatsApp calling” in Apple App Store yesterday.

Today they brings an update version of WhatsApp messenger in apple iTunes store that is ‘Version 2.12.1′ which bring free voice calling option and many other smaller updates along with it. Some of the other things fixed with this update are iOS 8 share extension through which people can share anything from other apps, directly to WhatsApp. Then, comes the camera button in chats , editing the contacts right from WhatsApp and besides it, sending multiple videos at once and crop and option to rotate them before sending them to others.

Out of all these features, the coolest one being the ‘WhatsApp Calling’ feature with which now, even iPhone users will be able to make online calls directly to other WhatsApp users from the app which will use either the cellular connection or wi-fi, which so ever available.

But as of now this feature update might have shown up on all the iOS devices but it has not been made available for everyone yet. Besides this ‘big’ messenger update for the calling feature added, WhatsApp tends to roll out this feature to everyone at once through the flipping of the switch on their servers. As the update description notes, that the feature will be rolling out in slowly in the waves over the span of next few weeks for all the users. As for, the Android users, the update will include the same features of internet calling without any further additional charges.

Net Neutrality : SaveTheInternet for the NETizens of India

Net Neutrality : Probably the word about which you might have heard people talking about on various internet portals. It is constantly being searched by the people and some have already been aware of it and rest it is spreading right now across all over the web.

& It’s not like rumor or something folks, it is important to now about it too because the future way of you using the internet depends upon this and if appropriate complaints and steps are not taken at this moment of time then certainly it’s gonna be “WE” people, who use the internet, gonna be the sufferers, or to say, we “NETIZENS of India” will be at loss. So, enough hitting around the bush, let’s start with what it actually is.

What is Net Neutrality ?

Net Neutrality is one the biggest talked about issues globally by the telecommunication companies and recently, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is also in the process of finalising the changes made to it, which are gonna be a landmark for the telecom authorities.

Some of the key-aspects of the net neutrality are :

• All the internet service providers should give the people using internet equal access to any website, content or applications despite of their original source.
• Under any circumstances, the internet provider from whom you buy the internet pack, should control the usage of the data for the user to use it, it is the sole choice the user in what way he/she wants to use it.
• All the website co-exist without interfering the other and all the websites are accessible at the same speeds and no particular website is to be favoured or given preference too.
• All the website and content available shall be treated equal for all and the user shall not pay any extra money to get faster speed for a particular website/ service available online.

How net neutrality is going to affect you ?

In India, Net Neutrality till date doesn’t exist legally as such but the big telecom companies have adhered to it as of untill now. But with the internet horizon expanding manifolds the telecom giants are looking forward to encash the oppurtunity and trying to control the traffic. Now, in the present scenario big telecom giants (especially Airtel and Vodafone) went to TRAI and asked them to block apps and websites in their own ways so they can charge money from both consumers and businesses, thus, violating the net neutrality.

The absence of net neutrality is going to change the way in which users look upto the internet and the freedom of the user to access any website in random is gonna be at stake.

What should you do for preserving net neutrality ?

People from all over the country as they are being aware of this are raising their voices to prevent this from happening. TRAI put a consultation paper on 27 March,2015 asking the reviews of the people of India about this change and the last day to submit the feedback has been kept in the tight deadline of 24 April.

All you have to do is that you can just open any of the links given below and just with two clicks you could send your answers to TRAI to that 20 questions, thus defending the freedom to use the internet, in whatever way desired.

http://www.netneutrality.in/

http://www.savetheinternet.in/

or you can directly write to TRAI at advqos@trai.gov.in about what you think about this issue.

Resources have quoted that over 3lakh emails have already been sent in this regard to TRAI and more support is asked from you. SO please do it at the UTMOST IMPORTANCE, even ask your friend to reply and raise your voice, before it get’s too late to do anything.

In next 14 days, LG Electronics will officially launch its  2015 flagship Android smartphone. Through this LG will again eye to capture market after its “HIT” nexus models. Before its released  a number of official images and specs went live for several hours. As it is flagship model it will have some cool or interesting things follows:

• QHD IPS quantum display to deliver brilliant crisp images rich and authentic in color and easily visible even in bright light.
• LG G Pen stylus.
• Removable 3000mAh Battery

QHD IPS Display : LG Electronics are doing its best for their flagship model. As smartphones get larger and the utilization of multi-media contents like photos, videos become more common, the need for high resolution is also largely increasing.LG G4 have highest resolution possible for smartphones with 538ppi. Earlier, we know that the full hd possible is 400ppi but that’s not true, LG make it possible to 538ppi which is very awesome.

Comparison with other display QHD shows apparently enhanced color, contrast and clarity, as it realizes graphics with increased number of pixels in an inch. Also readability is noticeably and user can zoom document in without letter distortion.Most interestingly QHD display are slimmest LCD panel with 1.2mm thickness which is 12% slimmer than before (Record breaking).

One more feature is that as we know dual-LED flash can emit twice as much light as a single LED of the same type to lit subjects 1.4 times further away and hence will consume more power but LG Electronics claims that it will lit objects more than 1.4 times and  not consume as much power and didn’t load on 3000mAH battery. That’s really great and make it a true flagship model. But untill LG G4 will launch, there is nothing to say exactly true. Reviews will tell, Is LG G4 is really a great phone or not ?
