Desperate for data on its competitors, Facebook  has been secretly paying people to install a “Facebook Research” VPN that lets the company suck in all of a user’s phone and web activity, similar to Facebook’s Onavo Protect app that Apple banned in June and that was removed in August. Facebook sidesteps the App Store and rewards teenagers and adults to download the Research app and give it root access to network traffic in what may be a violation of Apple policy so the social network can decrypt and analyze their phone activity, a TechCrunch investigation confirms. Facebook admitted to TechCrunch it was running the Research program to gather data on usage habits. Since 2016, Facebook has been paying users ages 13 to 35 up to $20 per month plus referral fees to sell their privacy by installing the iOS or Android “Facebook Research” app. Facebook even asked users to screenshot their Amazon order history page. The program is administered through beta testing services Ap...

Apple’s iPhone revenue has plunged in the December quarter, and the company is ready to make some changes. According to CEO Tim Cook, Apple will reduce prices of the iPhone in markets where local currencies have weakened against the dollar. As we’ve gotten into January and assessed the macroeconomic condition in some of those markets, we’ve decided to go back to more commensurate with what our local prices were a year ago in hopes of helping the sales in those areas,” Cook told Reuters (via The Next Web). “If you’ve never bought an iPhone outside of the U.S., you may not be aware of just how staggering the price difference is. I’ve been pointing it out over and over and over — it’s hard to justify spending $1,760 for a maxed-out iPhone XS (UK pricing at launch) when the exact same model costs $1,349 in the U.S. And it’s even harder in a country like Hungary, where the price is even higher and the average customer’s purchasing power is far lower than in the U.S. Subscr...

The interest that smartphones awake in thieves is on continuously growing, making it necessary to know how to block a stolen mobile phone. The theft of the mobile phone may lead to serious consequences, such as loss of personal data or unwanted charges on your mobile bill. To prevent this occurring, OneHowTo is going to teach you everything you need know to block your mobile in the event of theft. Steps to follow : 1.) If you want to know how to block your stolen mobile the first thing you need is to keep your smartphone IMEI code handy. It is the most important and representative mobile code. You can look for it on the mobile phone's box, in the purchase invoice (if you have kept it) or in the customer service account of your mobile service operator. 2.) Now, call the operator and explain your situation. You will have to identify yourself. For this you will need two things: your customer ID (or what ever form of identification your operator may require) and the I...

Infinix Mobility is one of the most popular smartphone brands not only in Kenya but in Africa at large. Like any other Android vendor, the Chinese company is also in a rush to roll out the new Android 9 Pie update to its devices before Android Q arrives in a few weeks’ time. To that effect, a new update is rolling out to the Infinix Smart 2 Pro that installs the latest Android 9 Pie to the device. The Pie update, as seen in the screengrab below, tags along a new XOS 4.5.0 custom skin, up from XOS 3.0.0 that debuted with the Smart 2 Pro back in 2018. It’s worth noting that the Smart 2 Pro update in question here was spotted in India, where this same phone is sold as Infinix Smart 2 (without the Pro moniker), so, technically, the update should begin rolling out to the Kenyan variant pretty soon, if it hasn’t arrived yet. If you own the superior Infinix Note 5 or Note 5 Stylus here in Kenya, there is also an update to Pie for you, but unlike the Smart 2 Pro that is rep...

Facebook plans to integrate its messaging services on Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, BBC reports. While all three will remain stand-alone apps, at a much deeper level they will be linked so messages can travel between the different services. Facebook told the BBC it was at the start of a “long process”. The plan was first reported in the New York Times and is believed to be a personal project of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Once complete, the merger would mean that a Facebook user could communicate directly with someone who only has a WhatsApp account. This is currently impossible as the applications have no common core. The work to merge the three elements has already begun, reported the NYT, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2019 or early next year. What is Facebook’s plan? Facebook probably didn’t want to talk about this in the middle of a privacy scandal, but its hand was forced by insiders talking to the New York Times. ...

Soon you may never have to fret about your smartphone running out of juice. Your clothing will simply power it back up for you. That’s the word from scientists at China’s Chongqing and Jinan Universities in a study just published in the journal ACS Nano. Researchers have been hard at work during the last few years trying to create wearable energy, or clothes that can charge things. The premise is simple. People today rely heavily upon devices such as smartphones and tablets. And they’re looking for ways to recharge these devices on the go. So if you could devise clothing fabric that could harness solar power —one of the most widely available and inexhaustible renewable energy sources — you’d be able to charge your various gadgets with ease. Scientists have had some past success creating energy-harvesting fibers. But there was always one problem when they tried to fashion these threads into self-powered smart garments: The fibers they devised got wrecked during the clothing ...

Mercedes-Benz has imbued its 2019 CLS with a holistic air of wellness that seems part yoga pants and part therapeutic massage, aswirl in scented air. It is as much lifestyle support as it is a car. But this third-generation model is such a thorough redesign that those returning to update a lease will step into a new experience. Among the firsts for the redesign is the brand’s return to an inline six-cylinder engine, which it abandoned in 1997 for a new V-6 line. The new six will find its way to other models as redesigns allow. The new 3.0-liter is not just any old stove-bolt six but a highly electrified and turbocharged engine that debuts a 48-volt electrical system with so-called EQ Boost, which integrates a hybridlike starter-generator, called ISG. Like a gasoline-electric hybrid, the motor assists the engine when accelerating and allows “sailing” when cruising without heavy acceleration. Sailing also pipes energy back into the battery for continued boost and to power the c...
