#Court Rules Cops Don't need A Warrant To Get Your Cellphone Records A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the public has no reasonable expectation of privacy
when it comes to their cell phone location records. Cops don need a search warrant to get access to cell tower location records
when investigating criminal cases because this information belongs to a third party, according to the ruling. The case centered on Miami resident Quartavious Davis,
who was convicted of robbery, possession of a firearm, and conspiracy in 2012 after investigators obtained 67 days of Daviscell phone records from Metropcs1,
606 records in total. Davis was sentenced to 162 years in prison. The case was appealed to the 11th U s. Circuit court of appeals on the grounds that Davisfourth Amendment rights were violated.

#Whatsapp For ios Will Receive Voice Calling Feature In A few Weeks Whatsapp the instant messaging app that Facebook acquired for $19 billion last year hit 700 million monthly active users
At the Facebook f8 conference this week, Whatsapp cofounder Brian Acton said that the ios version of the messaging app will gain the highly anticipated free voice calling feature within the next few weeks, according to Venturebeat.
Whatsapp launched a desktop client service called Whatsapp Web. The desktop version of Whatsapp only works for Android, Windows phone, Blackberry and Nokia S60 devices right now though.
Hopefully, Whatsapp Web will support ios devices soon. If you have a jailbroken iphone, then you can already access the voice calling feature on Whatsapp.
1.)You will need to install Appsyn and download the latest Whatsapp BETA version. Then you have to add the cydia. angelxwind. net and apt. imokhles. com repository on the Cydia sources. 2.)Download the latest version of the Whatsapp beta application and Whatsapp Call Enabler.
You have to make sure that Whatsapp Call Enabler is activated in the settings. 3.)After voice calls are activated,
Why did Facebook acquire Whatsapp? During a keynote at Mobile World Congress last year, Facebook CEO Zuckerberg said that the acquisition was linked to his vision for Internet. org.
Internet. org is an initiative to bring the Internet people who do not have access
since two-thirds of the world is connected not. The amount that Facebook paid for Whatsapp was particularly interesting
because the messaging app is far from profitable. Whatsapp lost $230 million in the first half of last year on revenues of approximately $15 million, reported The Wall street journal
. While Facebook generates most of its revenues from advertising, Whatsapp charges 99 cents per year for a subscription after one year of free service.

#Will Payments On Facebook Be Successful? Facebook: The Social Graph Of Payments Today March 17th, 2015 Facebook has entered into payments in a very big way 1. This is perhaps the biggest news in this sector since its inception.
Much like Wechat a sort of Facebook of China along with Alipay with their hundreds of millions of users to send money via instant message.
To become a person to person payment system in the US the company must apply for
and be granted a money transmitter license in every state. Facebook has been approved money transmitter licenses in every US state and territory along with many European and Asian countries.
My good friend Faisal Khan has been researching this for a number of years. In the US
One could argue that Google system was a communication platform centered around Gmail, but it was linked not fully to the chat system.
and there is a tipping point where one can be certain that the recipient can be found on Facebook.
It turns out a vast majority of Facebook 500 million monthly users are logged on to Facebook Messenger with about 80 million payment cards on file.
With Facebook Payments, the entire system is built currently around the Messenger platform. Fundamentally person to person payments are a form of deep communication
and Facebook Messenger is a logical jumping off point. A vast majority of person to person payments begin with a conversation, perhaps already within messenger.
How Does Facebook Payments Work? To use the system, the sender will need to associate a US based debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo to their Facebook account.
If the user already has a debit card on file with Facebook from gaming, advertising, or donations, this can be the default card.
The system will allow for the user to image the card via a camera or to manually enter the card into the setup form.
Specimen of Facebook Payments payment sending sequence. To send money press the button in the Messenger message composer,
Specimen of Facebook Payments payment receipt screen. The money is removed instantly from the sender debit account
and delivered to the recipient Facebook associated debit card. Facebook uses the debit card network and the recipient bank
and can take about 24 hours to become usable. Both sender and recipient will see a confirmation message detailing the transfer status and time.
Along the way, Facebook will send the recipient notices to claim the money. As an added security feature, Facebook may ask users some extra security questions before a transfer can be authorized.
This may take the form of id you ever own a red caror n what city did you live in during the period of 1984 1986 etc.
Banking On Debit cards Facebook is currently a debit card based system and is using a similar system that Square adopted for Square Cash 2,
and optimizations made by Facebook to make the system more fault tolerant and redundant. Facebook is also using more recognized APIS that will have the ability in the future to also allow payments from credit cards using the full extent of systems like Visa VPP API 2. The system will also be able to easily scale to countries outside the US
and localize from a technical standpoint and a regulatory stand point. I am rather certain that Facebook has negotiated with a number of regional debit card networks to lower effective rates that Facebook will pay for each transaction.
This will actually be a win/win for both camps. The debit card networks will see a huge growth of aggregate transactions allowing the networks to continue to be relevant and vital in this new space.
And Facebook will of course see lower costs than most companies in this space. I see this pattern perhaps playing out through the world and thus
By the next Facebook developer conference we may see this presented along with very unique useless for the APIS Facebook most certainly will produce.
Now The Person To Person Payments Party Is Ready To Begin Facebook is entering into a market that has many existing solutions,
including: Google Paypal Venmo Square Banks And others It is very clear that a sort of shakeout will commence that will define competing products and perhaps remove a few products from the market.
There is little doubt that the landscape will be changed far one year from now. Square Square Cash seems to be in a very vulnerable position before Facebook Payments 3 and
I tried to present the case days after the product was announced that this will prove to be a huge waste of time, talent,
Paypal+Venmo Paypal and Venmo will see a challenge from Facebook Payments. There is no doubt about it.
and marketing needed to respond to Facebook. There are many ways that Paypal and Venmo can stay vital and relevant because of the scale they have achieved already.
Google Google has been sending person to person money via Gmail for over two years and although it is not breaking any records,
or a picture is quite genius. Google will need to lower costs and continue to innovate.
and a system that will surprise even Facebook. The plans have been in process for quite some time and unlike Facebook
Paypal, Google, and Square, Apple will not handle any payments themselves. High Likelihood Of Success There is little doubt that Facebook will be successful In person to Person payments.
If not just by the size of the user base and the utility this new feature will offer.
One can surmise that at some point, even though currently there is no revenue model from Facebook pavements,
there is a path where the cards on file will become a source for payments for products and services from merchants.

#Youtube Now Lets You View And Upload 360-Degree Videos Youtube has announced that it is now supporting 360-degree video uploads.
Some of the cameras that are compatible with Youtube 360-degree video uploads include Bublcam, 360cam by Giroptic, Allie by IC Real Tech, the SP360 by Kodak and the RICOH THETA.
This means that viewers can watch videos in any direction for a different perspective instead of just where the camera is facing.

#Facebook's first satellite will beam Internet to rural Africa starting in 2016 With the exception of a select few locations,
As result, only about 20 percent of the population is able to connect to the Internet.
Facebook hopes to change those statistics with a new project in its Internet. org initiative.
As part of this program, Facebook is partnering with French satellite communications provider Eutelsat to beam an Internet connection to remote parts of Africa."
"I'm excited to announce our first project to deliver Internet from space, "wrote Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in a Facebook posting.
Facebook is working with Eutelsat to provide Internet access to sub-Saharan portions of Africa via Eutelsat's new AMOS-6 geostationary satellite,
which will cover West, East and Southern Africa. Amazingly, the satellite will deliver affordable broadband Internet using off-the-shelf consumer equipment for connectivity
--so it'll be easy and cheap to build more of these satellites in the future. Eutelsat is setting up a new company in London to oversee its African broadband business
while Facebook will work locally in Africa to deliver Internet service to rural communities. The satellite-based service is expected to go online in mid-2016.
The African satellite project is part of Facebook's broader Internet. org initiative which debuted in 2013.
Through Internet. org, Facebook wants to connect the world by providing internet access to developing countries worldwide.
Internet. org was criticized highly for providing access only to Facebook and a handful of other web sites and services instead of the full, open internet.
Internet. org responded to critics by recently expanding its service to include any sites that meet Facebook's development criteria a

#Google just became part of a new company called Alphabet Today Google, the company, is smaller
while the Google universe seems to be expanding with the announcement by CEO Larry page of a new umbrella company called Alphabet,
which will include a stripped down Google focused on search and Internet products and other companies like Calico operating as subsidiaries of the new company.
The announcement came in a post on the Google company blog by Page that is also cross-posted on the new,
otherwise barren Alphabet home page.""Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable.
In essence, what yesterday was Google today is called Alphabet, but under the umbrella of the new name is owned a wholly subsidiary that will still be named Google focusing on Internet products.
Alongside the new, smaller Google within Alphabet will be a number of other companies working on disparate projects like the aforementioned longevity company, Calico,
a life sciences company working on a glucose-sensing contact lens, the lab formerly known as Google X and investment arms Google Ventures and Google Capital,
just for starters. Page will be CEO of Alphabet and Sergey Brin will be President. Sundar Pichai, who has been in charge of products at Google,
including Android, Chrome and Maps, will be the new CEO of the new, stripped-down Google. Although Page doesn't say so specifically,
it seems that some of the company's biggest properties like Android and Youtube will remain a part of the smaller Google.
Normally news of what is basically a corporate restructuring isn't so interesting except that it involves a company that is,
While Page is framing the structural change as a way for Google (erm Alphabet) to stay on its toes
According to one filing, Google and the other new subsidiaries of Alphabet will report separately to investors,

#Google logo history: A trip through search engine's gradually smoothening logo Google just launched a new logo the first major redesign in years,
and a reflection of the changing nature of the search engine in all of our lives. But the site has been on a gradual evolution
since it began in 1998, slow shedding the design of years past and becoming more smooth and less objectionable.
At its beginning, Google wasn called even by that name t launched as ackrub That site had a rather obvious picture at the top:
It became Google in late 1997. The look was a little reminiscent of Word Art of old:
At that time, the site was just as youthful. It was still functioning largely as a search engine for Stanford university,
as well as the web, and offered an explanation of what it was at the top with a little text box underneath.
Google also briefly got an exclamation mark in 1999. It disappeared a year later. That shouting logo would be the last very different one that the site would have.
Until today redesign the site stuck by its formula: two blue letters, two red and one yellow and one green, all in an entirely unobjectionable serif font.
The company would gradually change that look, moving letters around, softening the colours and getting rid of shadow,
