WhatsApp has been testing a few additional features to its iOS app with the ability to “view once” photos and videos sent as well a new redesigned in-app notification. According to always reliable WABetaInfo, after rolling out this feature for Android beta testers recently, WhatsApp is finally making the “view once” feature available for iOS beta users with version  2.21.140.9. With this feature available, users will be able to use the Snapchat-like feature to send photos and videos that destroy themselves after being seen. Although different from Snapchat, WhatsApp won’t say whether someone took a screenshot or not. The app won’t warn people, according to WABetaInfo, because there’s no safe way to make sure a screenshot hasn’t been taken, as there are several ways to bypass that. If you’re a WhatsApp beta tester, after updating the app from the TestFlight, try to send a photo or a video to see if the new feature is already available for you. When you send the media, it already disappears from your mobile phone and it will also disappear in the recipient’s phone when he opens it once. You are notified when the recipient opens the photo/video because the bubble message will report “Opened”.…

If you still use Facebook Messenger, then you need to be aware of the social media giant’s warning that an “essential” security update is now seriously delayed. And while you might be thinking about hanging on, what was seen as a simple update has become horribly twisted. For Messenger’s 1.3 billion users, is it finally time to quit? If you’re a regular reader of this column, you’ll be well versed on the critical differences between Messenger and Facebook’s other hyper-scale messaging platform, WhatsApp. While the latter encrypts all the content between senders and recipients, ensuring that no-one—not even Facebook—can read any of it, Messenger does not. The company admits that it monitors content, and we recently exposed it for doing even worse. “The first step of keeping people safe is, you have to have strong security,” WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart said last month, as the secure messenger launched yet another privacy campaign around the strength of its encryption. “We think governments shouldn't be out there trying to encourage tech companies to offer weak security.” So, on the face of it, Facebook’s promise back in early 2019 to extend WhatsApp’s encryption to protect Messenger content was a good thing, right? Many…

Bo Diddley, correctly, never felt he got his due as one of the founding fathers of rock n’ roll. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley get most of the credit for what became the broader version of rock n’ roll, but as fellow legend Fats Dominos, said, what people called rock n’ roll had been played for 15 years in New Orleans, which pushes it back to the late ‘30s or early ‘40s. But no one did it quite like Bo Diddley. Born Elias Bates in Mississippi, he became Elias McDaniel when a relative raised him before becoming Bo Diddley. And before creating what became known as simply the Bo Diddly Beat, he was a violinist but found his destiny soon enough. Influenced by John Lee Hooker and Louis Jordan, Bo Diddley played one song in a dressing room on the Ed Sullivan Show and was invited to perform it. Apparently though he saw “Bo Diddley” on a cue card and did his self-title hit, which made Sullivan furious. So if this doesn't seem like the sort of thing you would have expected to see on the Sullivan Show in the 1950s, well, it…

New Delhi, Jul 10 (PTI) YouTube vlogger Karl Edward Rice''s wife has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the central government''s alleged "arbitrary and unreasonable" decision to blacklist him and deny visa to enter India. The petitioner said by virtue of denying visa to her husband, who has been "arbitrarily blacklisted" by the respondents (Centre), she is deprived from living with him, thereby violating her fundamental right to life and dignity as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution. The plea, which is likely to come up for hearing next week, said petitioner Manisha Malik and her husband, popularly known as Karl Rock, are YouTube vloggers and have visited most of India to capture its beauty and contribute to the promotion of tourism here. It said the authorities have not communicated the grounds of blacklisting Rice even though several representations have been preferred by him and his wife, which has led to the separation of a married couple, lack of any opportunity or notice to them to indicate any violation of visa conditions and denial of issuance of visa to him. Terming the Centre''s move an arbitrary abuse of power, the plea said it violates the petitioner''s rights under Article…

July 9, 2021 | 9:10pm Enlarge Image Tristan Thompson came for Lamar Odom in the comments section of Khloé Kardashian's Instagram Friday. Getty Gentlemen, please. Tristan Thompson seemingly threatened Lamar Odom in the comments section of their mutual ex Khloé Kardashian’s Instagram. The trouble in paradise started when Odom, 41, commented “Hottie” and a string of emoji under a snap of Kardashian, 37, performing her ablutions in an outdoor shower. Thompson, 30, took issue with that, writing, “God brought you back the first time. Play if you want, different results.” He followed it up with a more restrained “❤️❤️🤤🤤” in a separate comment. Now, far be it from Page Six — for legal reasons — to suggest that Thompson was threatening Odom, per se, but the jibe seems a likely reference to Odom’s near-fatal overdose at the Las Vegas-area Love Ranch brothel in October 2015. Odom later appeared to delete his comment on the post, which Khloé’s sister Kim and a number of other celebs — including Shanina Shaik, whose sister Irina was recently linked to Kim’s ex, Kanye West — commented on. Page Six exclusively reported in June that Khloé and Boston Celtics baller Thompson, who are parents to 3-year-old…

About three months ago Cloudability was acquired. About three weeks ago we lost one of our boys.""When I got the call I was sitting in a conference room with 12 people at our Portland office talking about PTO policies. Minutes earlier, I had admitted to the group that in the last 8 years I'd not taken more…
