BBM vs WhatsApp : The Review In a world where the average person checks his social network notifications for at least once per 24 hours, it won’t be too much to say that social networks means do much in our lives.

In this article, I’ll be reviewing, comparing and contrasting two instant messaging social platforms: BlackBerry Messenger and WhatsApp.

BlackBerry Messenger, also known as BBM, is owned by BlackBerry. The social network was ported to Android and iOS late last year as a result of dwindling number of BlackBerry smartphone users whom the app was exclusively designed for.

Whatsapp on the other hand, until it’s February 2014 $19 billion acquisition by FaceBook, was owned by Jan Koum and Brian Acton. The app is available on most mobile phone eco systems including Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Windows Phone, and even Nokia’s S40 OS.

UPDATES AND INTERACTIVITY
BBM is more interactive than WhatsApp, as users get updates about their friends’ personal message and media activity. Friends can even comment on a given activity, personal message, or display picture, leading to more conversations. You can also see a user’s current country and time, if they have turned the feature on. On WhatsApp, you don’t get alerts on updates about your friends’ personal message unless you actually visit their profile. And you cannot comment on their display picture.

DELIVERY REPORTS
Both BBM and WhatsApp have delivery report system, but BBM is more developed in that regard. While BBM informs you that your message has been sent, delivered and read/viewed, WhatsApp only informs you that your message has been sent and delivered.

MULTI-PERSON CHAT
BBM allows you to chat with 2 or more persons at a time under the same chat window. When a participant sends a message, all the other participants are alerted and shown the message. This feature is not available on WhatsApp.

VOICE CALL OVER CHAT
While BBM allows you to make calls using your data to other BBM users with compatible devices, WhatsApp has no such feature.

ANIMATION
You can use animated, moving images that provide more information on BBM, but images on WhatsApp are static.

CELL BROADCAST
Both BBM and WhatsApp support cell broadcast. For one-time cell broadcast, BBM is superior to WhatsApp as it allows for mass ticking of contacts for cell broadcast to be sent. On WhatsApp, you have to tick contacts one at a time, which could be time-consuming.

FILE TYPES
BBM supports the sharing of more file types than WhatsApp. For example, you can share .apk, .pdf, .exe, .doc, etc. files on BBM, but not on WhatsApp.

CHANNELS
Channels is somewhat similar to the concept of Facebook fan page. It allows a user to create a channel that people can join and get their updates, and comment on, or reply to. BBM has the channel functionality unlike WhatsApp.

GROUP
Just like channel, Group is similar to the idea of Facebook group. A user can create a group and let others become members. The group has a forum for chat, pictures, events, lists and a group picture. Both BBM and WhatsApp support the group functionality, but that of WhatsApp is not as advanced as that of BBM, and supports only the group chat and picture features.

PROFILE PICTURE VIEWING
It is easier to view a user’s profile picture on BBM than on WhatsApp. When a BBM user uploads a picture, it appears on the “Updates,” and when you click on it it appears fully even without Internet connection. You can also easily convert a friend’s display picture to reflect on your own profile with just few clicks. On WhatsApp, you need Internet connection, for the first time, to download a friend’s picture before you can clearly and fully view it. And you cannot convert a friend’s profile picture to appear on your own profile unless you first download it, and then upload it the regular way.

DESCRIPTIVE PHOTO SENDING
When sending an image on BBM, you can input some descriptive text against the image before sending it. This feature is not available on WhatsApp.

PING!
This could be a way of calling your friends’ attention. When you send your friend a PING!, their phone makes an alert and vibrates. BBM incorporates this feature, but not WhatsApp.

CONTACTS’ VIEW
BBM contacts can appear in either grid or list format; that of WhatsApp can appear only in list format.

CONVERSATION: MASS COPYING
You can copy to clipboard the entire length of conversation you had with a user on BBM with just a few clicks. On WhatsApp, you have to individually select each item, as many as they are, before you can copy them to clipboard.

VIDEO SHARING
The maximum video size shareable on BBM is 16MB. If a video file; is higher than 16MB, it cannot be shared on BBM. Come to WhatsApp, video of any length or size can be shared someway. If the length and size of the video is too high, WhatsApp allows you to break the video into reasonable-size parts and send them in succession. You can determine even the segment of a video to be shared, leaving the other parts unsent!

MEDIA RECEIPT HANDLING
If someone sends you a video or image on BBM, and while downloading it, it happens that it fails, you cannot re-download the file; the sender must re-send the file to you. On WhatsApp, if the file download fails, you can re-download the file without requesting that the sender re-send the file.

How to See What Web Sites Your Computer is Secretly Connecting To

Has your Internet connection become slower than it should be? There may be a chance that you have some malware, spyware, or adware that is using your Internet connection in the background without your knowledge. Here’s how to see what’s going on under the hood.
It’s worth noting that most third-party firewalls will probably give you this same type of information as well as block things that are trying to connect… unless the applications managed to add an exclusion already. Better check anyway

How to Check What Your Computer is Connecting To

So, how do you find out what the problem is? There is an easy method using the netstat command from a command prompt window. This works with Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP. If you’re still using XP, make sure you are running at least Service Pack 2, and just assume that somebody already hacked your computer because your operating system is now a teenager.
We will use the netstat command to generate a list of everything that has made an Internet connection in a specified amount of time. To use the netstat command, you must run the command prompt window as administrator.
If you are using Windows 8.x you can right-click on the Start Button and choose the Command Prompt (Admin) option

If you are on Windows 7 or Vista, open the Start menu and enter “cmd.exe” in the Search box. When the results display, right-click on cmd.exe and select Run as administrator from the popup menu

If the User Account Control dialog box displays, click Yes to continue. Note: You may not see this dialog box, depending on your User Account Control settings.

The –a option shows all connections and listening ports, the –b option shows you what application is making the connection, and the –f option displays the full DNS name for each connection option for easier understanding of where the connections are being made to. You can also use the –n option if you wish to only display the IP address. The 5 option will poll every 5 seconds for connections to make it more easy to track what is going on, and the results are then piped into the activity.txt file.
Wait about two minutes and then press Ctrl + C to stop the recording of data.

 

Once you’ve finished recording data, you can simply open the activity.txt file in your favorite editor to see the results, or you can type activity.txt at the command line to open it in Notepad.
The resulting file will list all processes on your computer (browsers, IM clients, email programs, etc.) that have made an internet connection in the last two minutes, or however long you waited before pressing Ctrl + C. It also lists which processes connected to which websites.
If you see process names or website addresses with which you are not familiar, you can search for “what is (name of unknown process)” in Google and see what it is. It may be a system function you don’t know about or a function of one of your running programs. However, if it seems like a bad site, you can use Google again to find out how to get rid of it.

Using TCPView to Check What Your PC is Connecting To

The excellent TCPView utility that comes in the SysInternals toolkit will let you quickly see exactly what processes are connecting to what resources on the Internet, and even let you end the process, close the connection, or do a quick Whois lookup to give you more information. It’s definitely our first choice when it comes to diagnosing problems or just trying to get more information about your computer.

Note: When you first load TCPView, you might see a ton of connections from [System Process] to all sorts of Internet addresses, but this usually isn’t a problem. If all of the connections are in the TIME_WAIT state, that means that the connection is being closed, and there isn’t a process to assign the connection to, so they should up as assigned to PID 0 since there’s no PID to assign it to.
This usually happens when you load up TCPView after having connected to a bunch of things, but it should go away after all the connections close and you keep TCPView open.

Using CurrPorts to Check What Your PC is Connecting To

You can also use a free tool, called CurrPorts, to display a list of all currently opened TCP/IP and UDP ports on your local computer. It is a portable program and doesn’t need to be installed. To use it, extract the .zip file you downloaded and run cports.exe.
For each port that CurrPorts lists, information about the process that opened the port is displayed. You can select connections and close them, copy a port’s information to the clipboard or save it to an HTML file, an XML file, or a tab-delimited text file. You can reorder the columns displayed on the CurrPorts main window and in the files you save. To sort the list by a specific column, simply click on the header of that column.

 CurrPorts runs under Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and 8, and probably 10. There is a separate download of CurrPorts for 64-bit versions of Windows. You can find more information about CurrPorts and how to use it on the website.

Mobile networking devices

Mobile IT devices can use almost any wired and wireless networking technologies, as long as they are enabled to do so, either by in-built capability or via a network adapter. The options include:

• use of the global system for mobile communications (GSM), general packet radio service (GPRS) and third-generation (3G) and fourth-generation (4G) services offered by mobile networks
• cable connection to 'wired' local area networks (LANs) - Ethernet is the most popular wired LAN technology
• secure 'wireless LANs' within office buildings or public 'hot spots' such as internet cafes - wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) is the most popular wireless LAN technology
• Bluetooth or infra-red connection to another mobile device that offers one or more of the above connection capabilities
• extranets that can be accessed remotely, allowing mobile staff to use limited areas of your business' website and data
• use of 'smart phones' to facilitate instant email access

Uses of mobile networking

Sometimes you don't need networking capability on the move. It might be sufficient to download and upload the information required at the start and end of the day from the office computer system.
However, real-time communication with the office can be important in delivering business benefits, such as efficient use of staff time, improved customer service, and a greater range of products and services delivered. Examples include:

• making presentations to customers, and being able to download product information to their network during the visit
• quotations and interactive order processing
• checking stock levels via the office network
• interacting with colleagues while travelling - sending and receiving emails, collaborating on responses to tenders, delivering trip reports in a timely manner

Disadvantages of mobile networking

There can be issues with maintaining the security of devices and data - for example, these devices are easy to steal. It is also possible for data to be intercepted using some of these mobile technologies - such as Bluetooth and infrared. For more information, see securing your wireless systems.
There are also other considerations. Infrared and Bluetooth both have connectivity limitations. Infrared requires line of sight that will not pass through walls or other obstacles, while Bluetooth will pass through walls but only up to a useful range of 10 metres. As a result, many phones and laptops do not have these capabilities.

Advantages and disadvantages of mobile technology

Mobile technology is exactly what the name implies - technology that is portable. Examples of mobile IT devices include:

• laptop, tablets and netbook computers
• 'smart phones'
• global positioning system (GPS) devices
• wireless debit/credit card payment terminals

Mobile devices can be enabled to use a variety of communications technologies, including:

• wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) - a type of wireless local area network technology
• Bluetooth - connects mobile devices wirelessly
• 'third generation' (3G), 'fourth generation' (4G), global system for mobile communications (GSM) and general packet radio service (GPRS) data services - data networking services for mobile phones
• dial-up services - data networking services using modems and telephone lines
• virtual private networks - secure access to a private network

It is therefore possible to network the mobile device to a home office or the internet while travelling.

Advantages of mobile technologies

Mobile computing can improve the service you offer your customers. For example:

• when meeting with customers, you could access your customer relationship management system - over the internet - allowing you to update customer details whilst away from the office
• you can enable customers to pay for services or goods without having to go to the till, eg by using a wireless payment terminal diners can pay for their meal without leaving their table

Powerful solutions can link you directly into the office network while working off site. For example, you could remotely:

• set up a new customer's account
• check prices and stock availability
• place an order online

The growth of cloud computing has also impacted positively on the use of mobile devices, supporting more flexible working practices by providing services over the internet. For more information, see cloud computing.

Disadvantages of mobile technologies

There are costs involved in setting up the equipment and training required to make use of mobile devices. Mobile IT devices can expose valuable data to unauthorised people if the proper precautions are not taken to ensure that the devices, and the data they can access, are kept safe.

LG G6 announced: A new Android beast

LG has taken a safe approach with the G6 this year after being criticized about the G5 for so long. LG G6 now sticks with an all metal and glass design, instead of being “modular” like the G5. However, this means that the G6 battery won’t be removable. In term of LG G6 specs, the phone boasts a 5.7″ 144o x 2880 pixels resolution display screen (18:9 aspect ratio), which is a bit odd. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 821 quad-core (2 x 2.35GHz + 2 x 1.6GHz), 4GB RAM and 32/64GB ROM.
Keeping the tradition alive, LG G6 cameras come with a dual setup on the back. The phone is mounted with 2 x 13MP with f/1.8 and f/2.4 back cameras, while the front camera is 5MP f/2.2. The back cameras come with LED flash and have laser autofocus feature, capable of recording 2160p@30fps and 1080p@30fps videos. Consider what LG G5’s cameras are capable of, we can be sure that the G6 will be one of the best camera phone this year.

Other features include a non-removable 3300mAh battery with wireless charging and Quick Charge 3.0 technology (50% in 30min). The phone also supports USB v3.1 and USB Type-C. Internal storage can be expand up to 256GB using a microSD card. The phone has a fingerprint scanner mounted on the rear and an audio jack on the top (now take that Apple).

LG G6 announced: Price and Availability

LG is playing it a bit safe here and are only launching the device in black and platinum color options. Right now, we know that the phone will be available worldwide, but LG hasn’t confirmed the release date yet. But we expect it will be before the end of March when Samsung launches their new flagship. As for LG G6 price, the phone will be sold around $800 ~ Rs. 53390.

Oppo shows off impressive new zoom technology, but forgets to put it on a real phone

Oppo’s big Mobile World Congress announcement wasn’t an actual phone. Sure it arrived in a prototype roughly the size and shape of a phone, but it wasn’t really. It was proof of concept, the company showing off the imagine technology it’s spent the last year working on.
That’s not to say it wasn’t impressive. The company has apparently cracked the code on bringing 5x zoom to the back of a handset without adding a massive camera bump. The answer, it seems, is two lenses (pro tip: the answer is apparently always two lenses) at two different focal points.
The system, reportedly inspired by submarine periscopes, turns one of the lens arrays sideways, a 90-degree shift that houses it across the length of the device rather than facing outward like more traditional lens systems. The company refers to the system as “lossless zoom,” offering a 5x zoom that does a much better job than most phone cameras of getting in tight without massively degrading the image

Optical image stabilizing, meanwhile, gets rid of much of the shaking you traditionally get when you’re zoomed in super tight. It’s a clever innovation, and one that worked well in the demo unit I tested it out on.
Of course, that feature alone won’t be enough to sell too many people on a new handset. And while the company has, by its own account, aggressively patented the tech, it would be nice to see it implement more widely on different devices. Heck, even one would be nice. For now, it’s just the stuff of prototypes.
Of course, Oppo seems to know what it’s doing of late. The company’s seen massive growth in its native China over the past year, growing sales 122-percent from 2015 to 2016 to become the top handset maker in the world’s largest smartphone market. And imaging has certainly been a big part of that play, though past technologies were largely focused on shooting better selfies.

Timing on seeing the technology on an actual devices is still up in the air – along with whether it will eventually arrive here in the States, be it through Oppo’s own US distribution or through third-party licensing
