Abuja – So you still hold on to the false hope that the myth “girls
can’t have more than one orgasm” is true to mask your lacking
skill set?
Let Cosmopolitan break all your hearts and tell you all about the
myths.
1. Multiple orgasms aren’t real
They are, says Carol Queen, an American sexologist based in
San Francisco. About 15% of women have more than one in a
session depending on arousal and intensity.
2. Women always want to cuddle after
Just like most men, some women just want to hit the road after.
It’s mainly a personal thing, not a gender thing, Queen says.
3. Women don’t get sleepy after
Again, Queen says, this is a personal thing. Some women might
want to talk the night away after sex, but others just fall asleep
on you like some painter on the train on your commute home.

3 myths about your girlfriend’s orgasms
'Nollywood has lost its salt'
Lagos - Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike has said that Nollywood has
lost its salt, he also accused five people in the industry of
having taken over the Actors Guild of Nigeria(AGN), reports
Ifechukwu A
In a recent interview Emeka Ike claims that his colleagues are
forming fake accents, so he got himself busy with other better
things.
He accused Emma Ogugua, Murphy Stephen, Sunny McDon, Okey
Bakassi and Ifeanyi Dikeh. of allegedly registering the AGN as
their personal business.
He said that it has been long since the guild had an actors'
congress to address important issues in the industry because
these people, so he quit acting.
Emeka Ike broke into Nollywood in 1987 in the film Deadly Affair,
and has been married since the year 2000, and has two boys and
one daugher.
Man kills self after stealing N1 000
Abakaliki - Dejected by his inability to pay the fine imposed on
him for stealing N1 000, a 32-year-old man, Simon Mbam has
committed suicide by jumping into a river, reports NewsDay.
Mbam who jumped into a pond in Izzi Local Government Area of
Ebonyi State, found himself in the mess after confessing to
stealing the money at a shop where he had gone buy drinks
alongside his friends.
He was asked to produce two goats, two crates of beer and N5
000 as atonement for the crime.
The items were provided by the suspect’s mother but were
rejected by the village head, who insisted that an additional N5
000 must be provided so that the matter would be completely
resolved without involving the police.
The additional demand made the suspect, who felt embarrassed
with the whole process, escape from his captors and jumped into
Aku Pond.
Attempts to rescue him failed as he drowned before his body was
retrieved by the villagers.
Jonathan begins re-election bid, thanking God and donors
Abuja - Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan formally began
his re-election bid on Thursday, thanking God, his supporters
and the state governors who helped raise the $130,000
nomination fee.
Jonathan appeared at a brief ceremony at the headquarters of his
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where he collected a
nomination form for the PDP presidential ticket.
He has so far no opponents in the party's primaries and is
therefore virtually guaranteed to be on the ballot for the February
polls.
"First, let me thank God for today," the 56-year-old leader of
Africa's most populous country and top oil producer said.
"Let me thank the leadership of our great party and all members
of our party for believing in me," he said, noting how they raised
the funds for his nomination.

Hackers target unclassified White House network
The hackers are said to be working for the Russian government,
according to a news report
by Ifechukwu Alex
Hackers targeted an unclassified White House network but did not
damage any systems, a White House official said Tuesday.
In the course of assessing recent threats, "activity of concern" was
found on the unclassified Executive Office of the President network,
the official said under condition of anonymity. "Any such activity is
something we take very seriously. In this case, we took immediate
measures to evaluate and mitigate the activity."
The intrusion, however, led to temporary outages and loss of
connectivity for users while cybersecurity teams moved to counter
the attack. The disruptions were entirely the result of the measures
taken to defend the networks, the official said.
"Our computers and systems have not been damaged, though
some elements of the unclassified network have been affected," the
official wrote in an email.
The hackers are thought to be working for the Russian
government , and the U.S. was alerted about the breach by an ally,
the Washington Post said, citing unnamed sources. There is no
evidence to date that the classified network was also breached,
according to the report.
Security firm FireEye said in a report that Russia could be behind a
computer spying campaign, directed at targets of interests to
Russia such as European governments, militaries and security
organizations. The attacks by the group FireEye dubbed as APT28
leave less clues than other state-backed attacks, it said.

3 things your girlfriend wants in bed
Abuja – Sometimes guys view sex the same way they do their
Christmas list: I want this and I want that even though I’ve been
a naughty (not in the good way) boy.
But sometimes we should look within ourselves and be more
Christmasy about giving others what they want, Cosmopolitan
says.
Here are three things your girlfriend wants in bed.
1. Thaw before cooking
Your girlfriend really wants you to spend more time warming her
up with good, sexy foreplay. Take the time and make out with her
like it’s high school.
2. Be a man
Every now and then, your girlfriend would really love it if you
showed her you had a spine and some pelvic accessories by
grabbing her and passionately taking her. But do read the signs
before doing so.
3 Get good with your hands
Get your fingers involved in the action when you’re doing an oral
presentation, boys. It’s simple stuff, this, but you tend to forget.
5 000 more health workers needed in Ebola fight
Addis Ababa - The Ebola outbreak in West Africa requires at
least 5,000 additional health workers, World Bank President Jim
Yong Kim said on Tuesday.
"Health workers are critical. We need 5 000 health workers who
must rotate," Kim said in Addis Ababa at a press conference with
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and African Union
chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
The World Bank chief expressed concern over how to find the
health workers "with the fear factor going out of control in so
many places."
"I put a call to all medical practitioners around the world to keep
to their oath to provide treatment. We have to step up our
efforts," he said.

Obama: US can't shy away from Ebola battle
Washington - President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that the
United States can't be seen as shying away from battle against
Ebola and must support health care workers who are returning
from the front lines in Africa.
Obama did not directly criticise quarantine policies for returning
health care workers implemented in the states of New York and
New Jersey, but he said monitoring of those who come back from
the fight needs to prudent and "based in science".
"We don't want to discourage our health care workers from going
to the front lines and dealing with this in an effective way," he
said.
Obama said a robust response in Africa will stop the spread of
the disease in the United States. He reminded Americans only
two people have contracted the disease in the US and both are
now disease-free.
Zambian President Sata dies in London
Lusaka - Zambian President Michael Sata has died in London,
where he had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed
illness, three private Zambian media outlets said on Wednesday.
The reports on the private Muzi television station and the Zambia
Reports and Zambian Watchdog websites said the southern
African nation's cabinet was about to meet.
Suarez credits Rodgers for Reds success
London - Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has heralded Liverpool
manager Brendan Rodgers for finding the perfect tactical system
for him during the two years they worked together at Anfield.
Rodgers introduced a slick, passing style following his arrival
from Swansea City in 2012 and Suarez was one of the chief
beneficiaries, scoring 61 goals during his last two seasons on
Merseyside.
The Uruguay international left Liverpool for Barcelona during the
close season after being pilloried for biting Italy's Giorgio
Chiellini at the World Cup, but he says that he will always owe
Rodgers a debt of gratitude.
"There was a moment during the first real, in-depth conversation
that I had with Brendan Rodgers when I looked at him and it hit
me: 'He's right,'" said Suarez, in an extract from his new
autobiography published by British newspaper The Guardian on
Tuesday.
"We had been talking for a little while, he was explaining the way
that he wanted the team to play, and everything was falling into
place. Everything he said made perfect sense. I was completely
convinced."
Suarez said that Rodgers's playing philosophy, encouraging the
goalkeeper to play like an outfield player and asking a central
midfielder to drop deep in search of possession, was something
he had never encountered before.
"I listened and I was sold. It seemed so simple that way, but no
one had ever walked me through it like that before," Suarez
writes in Crossing The Line: My Story.
"I thought: 'He's right. It is impossible in a 30-metre space, with
the players Liverpool have got, with the ability that (goalkeeper)
Pepe Reina has with the ball at his feet, for them to get the ball
off us."
He adds: "The new style suited me. Playing in England where all
the centre-backs are tall and strong, the long punt up the pitch is
no good to me, but a quick ball to release me either side of them
works well.
"He (Rodgers) was keen to play to my strengths, and my style
suited his."

Best Internet Data Plan For October - Works on All Device
within me that there are better days ahead… Regardless of what
you are passing through, don’t give up on your dream; quitters
never win, and winners never quit. You may not be where you
want to be now but you are not where you use to be. Don’t give
up, keep pressing on!
I’ll quickly review the best internet plan for all devices in October
2014 because it’s important and necessary you choose the best
plan that suite your device.
Airtel NG: Despite the fact that Airtel Nigeria introduced Android
Internet Subscription (AIS) some couples of Months ago, I can’t
really say how many Android users genuinely make use of this
plan; though I heard it doesn’t zap data but I’ve not personally
tested the plan.
This plan is suitable for Airtel die hard Android fans , just like
some people will kill themselves if there favorites club loses. AIS
gives you 2Gb for N2,000 ; and to subscribe, dial *141*200#
The normal Airtel Blackberry Plan still rocks on all device but it’s
no longer 4GB but 2GB for N1,500 . It doesn’t zapp data on
Personal Computers and Nokia XL devices only. It zaps on
iPhone/iPad devices.
Glo NG: This network is fast, cheap and reliable… If Glo network is
not fast in your locality, it’s either you are living in cloud 9 or 15
because all the places have been to, Glo network seems stronger.
It’s no longer news that Glo Bis rocks on all eligible Android
device and I’m getting to love it the more because my 11.2GB is
going to expire Dec 2, 2014.
Glo Blackberry Plan works effectively on all Android that
succeeded in tweaking their IMEI to Blackberry IMEI . It gives you
3GB for N1,000 . However, It doesn’t work on iPhone/iPad devices
directly except when tethered from Blackberry 10 or Android
device.
One thing I love about this Glo Network is that it also gives me
200% bonus each time I recharge to call any network at will.
Meaning, if I rechargeN1,000, I get N2,000 extra making it 3k. If
you are not using glo, then you’ve not yet started your internet
surfing journey. To subscribe for Glo Bis, send Comonth to 777
and it will be activated for you.
MTN: I don’t need to write more about this because you are being
constantly updated about it. To be sincere, the Best MTN Data
Plan so far is getting it from third party resellers. Though, MTN
Night plan still rocks during the day with the aid of OpenVPN but
I’ll advice you buy from 3rd party agents.
Why Should I Buy MTN Data From Third Party Agent?
==>Because it works on all device including iPhone/iPads and
Blackberry10
==>It’s cheap and doesn’t zap data like the conventional Mtn data
==>It is very fast in a 3.5g network area.
Etisalat NG: This network is also unique and fast in some locations
and I know that I’ve etisalat fans indoor here. Though etisalat
newly introduce a plan that gives you 1GB for 2k but I still feel it a
kind of expensive. However, there are reliable third party agent that
sells etisalat data at a more cheaper price than what is obtainable.
Like getting 1GB for N1,500.
This plans works on all devices including window phones,
iPhones and BB10. Well, you can contact Trianzer for more info on
Etisalat Data Plan.
But wait a minutes, Etisalat PayG rocks unlimited, if you are not
careful, it will turn your sim into Eti Magic Sim.
How Can I Activate Eti Unlimited?
==>Get an Etisalat simcard preferably easycliq or migrate to
easycliq by dialing *244*1#
==>Dail *229*5*7# and wait till you receive a message like this
" you are on the etisalat Paygo Pulse browsing will attract #15 per
5min"
==>Once you receive the message, go head and load #100 airtime
and you will be given 5mb
==>Open your browser and start downloading your favorites.
Exactly 55min, your connection will stop just disconnect and
connect again to enjoy it back.
==>Your #100 will not be touched you can also use *228# to
check your data balance all you should see there is 0.48mb
But remember don’t visit any streaming site ooo… hmm!
The ball is now in your court… and you can choose to play it how
you like. You've got any question for me? Then ask.
Best smartphones 2014: The best phones available to buy today
smartphone of 2014, you've come to the right place. We will guide
you through the hottest mobile phones of the year to save you
time when you go to your local phone shop.
We continually update our best smartphones feature to reflect
recent launches, putting 2014's latest devices alongside the best
of 2013, but all the listed devices have been fully reviewed by us.
Things are changing fast in the world of smartphones: slashed
prices, ever-improving hardware, software updates and refreshed
handsets arriving every few months means that things never stand
still. This list is never static, it's an ever-changing beast. With the
Note 4, next Nexus and more still to arrive, we suspect this list will
soon be changing again.
Our best smartphones list covers all operating systems, all sizes,
and prices, so you'll be armed with everything you need to
consider when choosing to buy your next device. Of course, the
most important factor in buying a new device is making sure you
have the best smartphone for you. The best for your budget, the
features you need, the size that feels right and platform that suits
you best.
Be sure to let us know what you think is the best smartphone in
the comments below.
18. Samsung Galaxy Alpha
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha sets out to address the criticism that
Samsung was making cheap plastic phones. The Galaxy Alpha,
the first in a new line of premium devices, swaps metal for plastic
in some places, giving this a build quality that we've so far not
seen from Samsung.
It is a powerful handset, however, with Samsung's octo-core
chipset meaning things skip along nicely. There's a useful 12-
megapixel camera on the back, and all the customisation from
Samsung that you expect.
That means you'll get the heart rate sensor and the fingerprint
scanner, as well as all the additional software features that
Samsung offers. It's expensive, however, priced close to most
larger flagship handsets.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy Alpha if you love Samsung and want a
premium finish.
17. Motorola Moto E
The Moto E continues Motorola's aim to deliver smartphones on a
budget. This compact handset is incredibly cheap, but still
manages to offer plenty of features.
The design is solid, for starters, and although the display is lower
in resolution than many of the devices on this list, so too is the
price. That's a significant factor, as this handset only costs £89.
You'll get all the glory of Android at almost disposable prices, but
this isn't the fastest phone around and the camera performance
isn't great. It also lacks 4G connectivity, but does offer a range of
coloured changable backs, so you can make it suit your style.
Buy the Moto E because you want smartphone features at a great
price.
16. Nokia Lumia 1020
The Nokia Lumia 1020 is yet to be replaced, with the rear camera
standing out, both literally and figuratively. But this is also a jewel
in Nokia-now-Microsoft's crown, a stand-out phone, despite
getting a little long in the tooth.
The very capable PureView camera on the back brings options you
simply don't get elsewhere in the smartphone world: it's a great
performer. The compromise you have to accept however, is that
this is a big phone, especially compared to Nokia's "other"
flagship, the Lumia 930.
In many areas, the 1020 offers the same experience as other Lumia
devices, with Windows Phone offering a great alternative to
Android or iOS. There are still some holes in the ecosystem, but
Nokia is doing more than any manufacturer to plug them, and the
forthcoming Lumia Denim update will bring improvements and
features to the experience.
Nokia is being agressive on price, however, as the Lumia 1020 is
now down to £269, SIM free.
Buy the Nokia Lumia 1020 if you want the best smartphone camera
available.
15. Nokia Lumia 1520
Nokia Lumia 1520
The Nokia Lumia 1520 brings Windows Phone into the realms of
the phablet, but it does it with aplomb, giving you a device that
offers size, power and a great camera performance.
Nokia's commitment to the platform, dragging apps - kicking and
screaming - over to Windows Phone really enhances what's on
offer, but also pouring home-grown features in too.
We've been critical of some of the moves of Windows Phone, and
of Nokia, in the recent past, but the Lumia 1520 feels like the hero
device that Nokia needed. It's powerful, it's wonderful to use and
it's the rival of Android peers that rule the big-screen phone world.
Buy the Nokia Lumia 1520 if you want the biggest Windows Phone
experience.
14. Apple iPhone 6 Plus
For years Apple was criticised for sticking to small displays, while
other platforms got bigger, giving you more space to play. That's
all changed with the launch of the iPhone 6 Plus, alongside the
smaller iPhone 6.
The 6 Plus offers a lovely high-quality design, with an all metal
body and a great display. The display curves into the edges for an
almost seamless design, but there's no denying that this is a big
handset overall. That might have lead to some of the bendgate
problems that Apple has experienced post-launch, but importantly,
the iPhone 6 Plus offers a great experience.
There isn't a huge amount done to take advantage of the large
display - the Samsung Galaxy Note handsets offer more custom
features - but the 6 Plus offers a full HD display and plenty of
power to take Apple into the realms of the phablet.
Buy the iPhone 6 Plus because you want big screen gaming and
entertainment, Apple style.
13. Nexus 5
Nexus 5
The Nexus 5 plays out the pure Google dream, There's a brilliant
display, which gives you plenty of detail and performance to rival
some of the top phones out there.
There are downsides, however. We don't think it's the best
designed phone around, perhaps less interesting than the Nexus 4
which came before it and as is typical of Nexus devices, the
camera isn't so good and neither is the battery, which is the
biggest downside.
However, the Nexus 5 delivers plenty in it's aggressively priced
package at £299, especially if power and display are top of your
list and you have the reassurance of knowing you'll be at the front
of the Android upgrade queue too.
For some, however, the refinement added by other manufacturers
will bring attractive features out of the box that the Nexus 5 lacks,
and we suspect it'll soon to be replaced by the next-gen Nexus.
Buy the Nexus 5 for the pure Android experience and plenty of
power in an affordable package.
12. Huawei Ascend Mate 7
Huawei has been looking to break into the top flight of
smartphones for some time, and not without good results. Perhaps
not as widely regarded as some rivals, there's no doubting that
Huawei has come on a long way, and is selling a lot of phones.
The Mate 7 is its latest crack at the phablet, with a 6-inch full HD
display and a metal design that's a far cry from the budget phones
the company is known for. It's a big device, of course, but you get
all that space to play.
There's plenty of customisation to the Android UI, some of which is
really useful, presenting plenty of options, even if some of the
design choices might not be to everyone's tastes. The long battery
life, however, will be.
It's yet have the final price confirmed, but we suspect it will hit
£440, well below that of rivals.
Buy the Huawei Ascend Mate 7 to get a great phablet experience
without the cost.

11. Sony Xperia Z2
null
The Sony Xperia Z2 updates the Xperia Z1, sticking to familiar
Xperia Z design. It is slim and solidly built, if a little on the large
side, but it does offer a 5.2-inch display and new front-facing
speakers.
It's more accomplished all round than the Xperia Z1: the display is
better, there's a lot more power and it's better handled. The battery
performance is very good and the camera produces great results.
The new front speakers boost the audio delivery, but it won't touch
the HTC One for speaker skills. However, the Z2 features in-built
noise cancellation if used with compatible headphones, which is a
nice unique feature.
There's plenty of refinement in the software, although it doesn't
feel as though the Z2 has evolved much over the Z1 in this
department, and Sony still seems very focused on pushing its own
content services which can be a little intrusive. We still think it's a
little uncomfortable to hold due to it's flat, squared, design, but
there's no denying the power it offers. It's expensive, however, at
£539.
Buy the Sony Xperia Z2 because you're looking for a great media
experience on a larger screen.

The latest Lumia flagship is the 930. It refines the 925 offering, in a
handset that's a little big chunkier, but nonetheless solidly built.
The Lumia 930 offers the new pinnacle of the Windows Phone
experience. There's a great 5-inch full HD display, a wonderful
camera on the back and some of the latest software from
Microsoft, dabbed with Lumia additions. With the Denim upgrade
forthcoming, it makes Windows Phone more compelling than ever
before.
There's no shortage of tech packed into the brightly-coloured
handset, with optical image stabilisation on that camera and
wireless charging for the battery.
Buy the Nokia Lumia 930 because you want the best of Windows

9. Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 takes the large device format and
refines it. In this 2013 model, there's a cracking 5.7-inch display
offering a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, giving you 386ppi. It's
packed into a frame that measures 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3mm, making
it one of the most compact devices with such an expansive
display.
Some might not like the faux leather back, but you can peel that off
and swap it out: as well as access the internals to expand the
storage or change the battery.
Samsung hasn't ignored the screen space on offer, giving you
innovative features through the S Pen to help keep you productive.
Recent updates bring some of the features of the SGS5, keeping
this phablet up to date.
The Note 3, however, is on the verge of being replaced with the
Note 4. That might see prices fall, but the new device offers a lot
more, so it's worth holding off if you want the latest and greatest
from the Note.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for the best phablet experience.

8. Motorola Moto G 4G

The Motorola Moto G took a lot of people by surprise, Motorola
wasn't content with the original, so updated with microSD card
support and 4G, making for a cracking device.
The Moto G 4G is a fantastic smartphone and incredible value for
money that's difficult to ignore. With a price as low as £150, if
you're on a budget, this is the handset to choose.
Take the price out of the equation and you don't feel let down. The
design is great, the display is excellent and there's plenty of power
too. Yes, it will be out-performed by any number of handsets, but
those are handsets that will cost you twice, if not three times, as
much.
Better still, the Motorola Moto G was one of the first non-Nexus
devices to be upgraded to Android 4.4 KitKat, as it's pretty much
stock Android.
Buy the Motorola Moto G for the best Android experience in a
budget handset.

7. Samsung Galaxy S5
null
The Samsung Galaxy S5 refines much of what the SGS4 offered.
The design is similar, as is the interface, but there's refinement at
every level. This is still the Samsung smartphone you know and
love, but it's slick and fast, with plenty of power, and offers a
stunning 5.1-inch full HD display.
The build offers the same flexibility as previous devices, so you
can remove the back of the phone to switch out the battery which
gives you all-day performance. The build might be mostly plastic,
lacking the premium sheen of some rivals, but that makes for a
device that's lighter and more compact.
The addition of a heart rate scanner is one element of a new
focus on fitness from Samsung, even if the implementation of the
fingerprint scanner is a little awkward. The camera produces great
results, and is a good performer in all conditions.
There are perhaps a number of features packed into the Samsung
Galaxy S5 that you won't use, but there's no lack of choices.
Things like the download booster and user interface features that
make use of the larger display give you plenty of useful elements
to enhance the day-to-day experience.
We expect the SGS5 to be one of the top selling devices of 2014,
such is the success of Samsung's machine, and for many, it will be
the phone of choice. It will cost you £549.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy S5 for the vast array of features and
great display.

6. OnePlus One
null
It's rare that an outsider jumps into the elite ranks, even rarer that
it's widely lauded. The OnePlus One managed this, capturing the
attention of smartphone lovers, not only for offering great value for
money, but with viral marketing and a degree of exclusivity: it's
not the easiest phone to get hold of.
When you do part with the £220-odd that you'll be asked to pay,
you're left with a device that's powerful and has plenty of battery
life, all on a budget. It also comes preloaded with CyanogenMod,
offering a range of tinkering options.
There are some downsides, of course, like some network
compatibility issues (Vodafone and O2 bands aren't supported in
the UK) and being tricky to buy, but if you've got one, you'll be the
envy of your friends.
Buy the OnePlus One because you know where to get one.

5. Apple iPhone 5S
null
The iPhone 5S has been supplanted by the iPhone 6, and if you're
in the market for a new device, the iPhone 6 is better in all areas.
However, with the iPhone 5S receiving a price drop to £459, it
becomes more affordable for many.
It offers a great quality display, although it's amongst the smallest
of the devices on this list. Apple's Touch ID offers effective security
and there's plenty of power and speed on offer.
But it's not only about the hardware, as the iPhone 5S offers a
wonderfully polished UI in iOS 8 (post-launch hiccups aside),
closing many of the gaps in functionality that had opened up
between Apple and Android. On top of that you have one of the
most vibrant communities of developers: the iPhone is always top
of the list for app development, and even on this smaller device,
you get a great experience.
Buy the iPhone 5S for that Apple experience at a slightly more
affordable price.

4. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
null
The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact succeeds by dominating its unique
position. It offers flagship power, in a mid-range size. For anyone
looking for a portable powerhouse, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is
it.
Sony has also brought this handset to market at a price that's
aggressive for the package you get. At only £429, it's far cheaper
than the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, so you get a lot of phone for your
money.
The 4.6-inch 720p display is good, if not the highest resolution at
this size, but the outstanding feature is battery life. This is a phone
that goes on and on, surviving the busiest days where larger rivals
falter.
Mature UI tweaks, waterproofing, great camera performance and
options galore, make the Xperia Z3 Compact the sort of device that
power users will want.
Buy the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact if you want the best performance
in a compact device.

3. LG G3
LG G3 review
The LG G2 was a great handset and the G3 ups the ante, fusing the
appeal of a large display with a body that's only just larger than
other devices at the top of this list.
It's also one of the first mainstream devices to step out of the door
with a Quad HD display, or 2560 x 1440, pushing the pixels further
than its rivals. It's capable of incredibly sharp details at 538ppi,
but be warned - little content really makes use of that resolution,
yet.
Although the G3 doesn't offer the same build quality as the HTC
One, it's a good looking phone. The design keeps things simple,
avoiding some of the kitsch design of the Samsung Galaxy S5. It's
easy to grip, although might be a little too large for some.
LG has added plenty of smart functionality to the G3. There are
gestures and shortcuts to make your life easier, as well as a range
of functions to make use of all the display space, like dual app
views, although the battery life isn't the best.
There's also a really impressive camera on the back which is slick
and fast and performs well in most conditions. Add 4K video
capture to the list and you've a smartphone package that sees you
ready for the future. You also don't pay over the odds for it at
£479.
Buy the LG G3 because you want a big screen experience in a
managable package.

2. HTC One (M8)
The HTC One (M8) comprehensively betters the HTC One, taking
the design and user experience of the former and refining it in
many areas. There's no doubt that this is a premium device at the
top of the Android pile. It's slick and fast and the refinement of the
new Sense 6.0 user interface adds plenty to Android 4.4 KitKat.
The design is excellent, with a premium metal body offering a
great feel in the hand. But this handset isn't only good looking, it
offers a great 5-inch full HD display with some of the nicest
visuals you'll find on a device at this size.
With size and power, you might expect the 2800mAh battery to be
something of a concern, but the HTC One (M8) offers all-day
battery life, along with an extreme power saver mode if you need to
last longer.
The camera offers some clever features. Thanks to the Duo
Camera you can easily refocus images, as well as apply a number
of effects after shooting. They add interest, but if camera
performance is the most critical feature you want then you might
want to look elsewhere. The HTC One M8 is slick and fast and
daily use is a pleasure. It will cost you £549.
Buy the HTC One (M8) for it's design, power and mature user
experience.

1. Apple iPhone 6
null
The iPhone has never topped the our best smartphone charts, but
in the iPhone 6, Apple has taken a big step forward. The size, for
starters, gives us the screen space we've been asking for years. It
might not be the highest resolution around, but it's a great quality
display, a visual treat.
That's paired with design that's second to none. It's slick, with a
high quality finish, with this bigger iPhone sitting nicely in the
hand. It looks great, it feels great, and it's a pleasure to use.
The TouchID implementation is the most effective we've seen, and
with Apple Pay in the works, could be a key to unlocking much
more than your just your phone. The camera too offers great,
consistent, results, with simplicity that many rivals lack. It might
not pack the most megapixels, but it does give you great results.
This is all wrapped in the refinement of iOS 8. Apple might have
been playing catch-up with Android in some areas, but in iOS 8
there's a consistency of experience that some other platforms
lack, not to mention the huge developer support. On day one the
iPhone 6 is a great device, but offers more potential as the
developers swing into action to bring their best to bear.
This is the best iPhone ever and for those who have been waiting
for something bigger, that day has finally come.
Buy the iPhone 6 because you want a premium handset offering a
bigger Apple experience than before.

Install Fonts on Your iPad
your computer, thoughtfully selecting the perfect font, only to
find that when you open the document on your iPad you are
greeted with the message:
“The font FortuneCookie is missing. Your text might look
different.”
This morning I made a slide in Keynote on my Mac, and chose
the font FortuneCookie. My iPad replaced FortuneCookie
with Helvetica Neue – a nice enough font but not the one I had
chosen!
Or perhaps you are just bored by the small selection of fonts on
the iPad and want to add a few.
Unknown to many people, it’s actually quite easy to install
additional fonts on your iPad. Start by downloading AnyFont
($2.49)
Then connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select
your iPad in the devices list, click the Apps tab at the top, and
scroll down to the File Sharing section. Within the File Sharing
section, you will see a list of all the apps that are available for
file sharing. Select AnyFont from that list, as shown in Fig 1.
Drag any true type font (.ttf) or open type (.otf) or true type
collection (.ttc) from your computer to the left-hand pane titled
“AnyFont Documents”. If you have just installed
AnyFont this pane of the window will be empty. You can see
that I have added 14 fonts.
Now you can close iTunes on your computer and disconnect
your iPad. Open the AnyFont app on your iPad, and tap the
font(s) you have just added. The app will take you through a
few steps to install the font. (These steps feel unusual as you
are doing them, but they are quite easy and safe).
That done, open an app such as Pages, and format some text
and you will now see that your new font is available to use.
That’s all there is to it. Now you can make your presentations
and documents look as nice on your iPad as you can on your
Mac.
REVIEW - BEST UNLIMITED DOWNLOADING PLAN SUITABLE FOR HEAVY DOWNLOADERS
Instead of the subscriber being given a data allocation, this plan
gives the subscriber access to unlimiteddata at a rate of N15 for
every 5 minutes.
The subscriber’s time counts only as long as they are connected.
In order words, if you are not connected, you time won’t count.
I gave the plan a trial this afternoon. Subscribing was easy. I
dialed *229*5*7# , and waited for an SMS confirming my
subscription, then loaded N500 airtime on my eti sim.
Then, I put the SIM in my Etisalat MiFi device and switched it on.
It got a connection immediately and I was able to use the
connection on both laptop and mobile.
During usage all afternoon, I consistently got speeds in the range
of 2.5 Mbps for downloads and 1 Mbps for uploads.
Added up, N15 per each five minute slot translates to N90 per
30min.
I was able to download a file upto 1.8GB with just mere # 165;
this is not exactly bad. That means N500 gives me a total
connection time of a little less than 3 hours. When not in use, I
just turn off the MiFi in order to disconnect.
Who Should Use This Plan
==>Heavy internet downloader's
==>Movie & game addict who often download games and latest
movies.
==>Blackberry user who want to upgrade to the latest OS. Usually
update takes up to 1Gig; with this in less than 30 min, your
update should be completed.
Why You Should Use This Plan
==>It is fast: Etisalat in 80% location is faster in terms of
connection, downloading and uploading. Meaning within 5min,
you should be able to download at minimum 200Mb file.
==>It is suitable alone for downloading heavy files, and upgrading
an OS of any kind.
==>It save cost in the sense that, you don’t need to use your
normal data for it. #15… so cheap
==>Your time only count when you are connected.
How Can I Subscribe
To subscribe for Etisalat Pay As You Go Pulse, dial *229*5*7#.
To deactivate, dial *229*0# If you want to enjoy this plan to the
fullest, make sure you are on easy cliq because atimes, your
money won’t read but the connection will be up.

①infinix zero
One thing common about these phonea are that their names start with the letter "I".
Infinix Zero, the biggest thing to happen to
android this year!
Can you imagine an Octa-core Andriod phone been sold out 4
times within 3 weeks? Can you imagine one color of the models
has sold out 4000 pcs in a single day? There is so much
excitement about the new Infinix Zero which is now rocking
Nigeria’s mobile phone market!
With OTA, or "over the air", which is a term often used to refer to
the "wireless system update" service through 3G or Wifi. The
moment you pay docent means the service is over, Infinix team
will upgrade the Zero System software each month according to
the users' feedback and the Google Android OS evolution. End
users can check and upgrade the system software through Infinix
OTA (wireless software update) function when there is a new
version available.
In additional, 6 months screen replacement are claimed by Infinix.
If you cracked your screen by accident,
You can get your screen replaced at Carlcare service center within
6 months.
This is the device that is set to dwarf all others in terms of
performance and technology. Imagine the superior picture quality
of a 13MP camera with Sony sensor, the speed derived from the
powerful Octa-Core processor, the latest Android 4.4.2 Kit kat and
the Gorilla glass 3 technology this device has to offer! It also
comes along with 16GB Rom+2GB Ram……and offers special
colors like white and gold.
The Infinix Zero is an embodiment of aesthetics. One of the first
things that would strike you about the phone is its sleekness. It
has a smooth feeling and it is very palm friendly. It is also very
light, weighing just about 150 mg. The hardened glass frame,
called the Gorrilla glass 3, is an extraordinary feature, allowing
you to hit it against a hard surface without getting scratched. Also
the anti-crash film is designed to come along with the device
which makes it tough and stronger.

approximately 600% more Material Design now.
First up, the action bar on top is now teal (or something close to
that) with a new side menu and a cool animation for the
hamburger button. The side menu shows the same items now, but
the font is smaller.
In app lists you’ll find that the color of the action bar now applies
to the categories below as well. As for the app pages, the ‘What’s

instead of going all the way down when you tap the ‘Read More’

Other than that I’d say it more or less looks similar with minor
