As gossipy tidbits, holes, and mysteries keep on spreading about the Sony PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, comfort gamers around the globe are getting energized. As an aficionado of home reassure gaming myself, I don't share the expectation. Here's the reason. From an equipment viewpoint, the up and coming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are now stopping people in their tracks. Reassure gaming has consistently been a numbers game, with each age promising more force, quicker burden times, increasingly lovely games and better network. Be that as it may, as a person who experienced childhood with the Nintendo SNES, the N64, and later the Sony PlayStation reassures, I am becoming progressively worried about where the gaming business is going. The home support is getting progressively serialized Some time ago, you used to have the option to go out and purchase a home gaming console and it would be useful for an age. Without a doubt, these consoles have never been modest. Indee...

Uber introduces in-app messaging

While Uber has been around for a while and has made transportation a whole lot easier you would agree with me that there is still room for improvement, well, it seems Uber also agrees. Have you ever been in a situation where you order an Uber and some strange number calls or texts you asking for your location? Uber decided to fix this by introducing in-app messaging. Before then, I beleve there is a need for a litte back-story. Uber makes use of an anonymizing technology to make phone numbers when you make calls outside the app. But, unfortunately this isn't available in emerging markets. Hence, they had to introduce in-app messaging in addition to a few other features which we'll talk about later on. Before those, let's take a look at how the in-app messaging works.

Surfwella to bring free internet access to Nigerian schools

Internet access in schools is an indispensable tool required for the learning process.

Surfwella comes with a different approach in that their services are supposedly free (i.e no payment, subscription plan etc), but that makes me a little skeptical, I mean c'mon free internet access for Nigerian schools? Surfwella has to be paying for these services somehow. This makes me think there's some kind of catch, ads maybe? But, I may very well be wrong. As Olusola Bankole, Surfwella's Chief Marketing Officer pits it. "It's our own form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It is all about empowering the st...
