Members of a group who miss the initial call can tap the phone icon in the group chat to join the call while it's in progress.
The feature allows up to 50 participants and is available only in the latest version of Messenger.

Move Over, Phone Carriers

The announcement likely will cause concern among telecommunications companies because "if you consider that social media's a form of asynchronous communication, then Facebook is the largest telecom on the planet, with about 1.3 billion subscribers," observed Michael Jude, program manager at Stratecast/Frost & Sullivan.
"Now add synchronous communications -- that is, communications in real time -- and Facebook's beginning to come into focus as the next paradigm of communications: async and sync combined," he told TechNewsWorld. "This could be a game changer."
Messaging apps Viber and Line already offer group calling for up to 200 people.
However, "Facebook is different -- it's a social media site with a huge following that now offers direct communication to groups of people," Jude said. "Viber and Line are much smaller pools of people and don't have the rich social media capabilities that Facebook does."
The calling feature is in software, so "if Facebook sees a need to expand the scope of the service, they could probably do it by flipping a switch," he noted.
Facebook stands to gain "a substantial portion of the millennial telecom business," Jude suggested.
Further, the company launched a beta of its Messenger Platform with bots and its Send/Receive API, as well as bots for the Messenger Platform. How those features will play into group calling remains to be seen.

Killing Off Telcos

Facebook's move highlights the threat that new technologies pose to telecom companies.
"As we move farther and farther from traditional PBXs and wired phone lines to VoIP services, many of which are either very cheap or free, telecom companies are going to lose this revenue," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.
"They've had plenty of warning," he told TechNewsWorld. "This is just another one of those services that will make it easier for small companies and individuals to cut their phone cord."
Facebook began offering VoIP in 2013. A year later, it fully rolled out audio calls and had 10 percent of the global VoIP phone call market.
Facebook "is a much bigger threat" than chat apps "because far more people are likely to try and like it, due to its visibility," Enderle said.
Facebook Messenger has more than 900 million monthly active users.
"The overall trend is making traditional telephones obsolete," Enderle said. "This is just another indicator that trend is reaching critical mass, putting traditional telecom services increasingly on death watch."
Wireless carriers won't be hit as hard, because data charges apply to calls made through Facebook and other apps, unless WiFi is used.

What About Video?

Skype in February began supporting group video calls on iOS and Android for up to 25 people, ooVoo lets users make free high-quality video calls to groups of up to 12 people on any device, and Tango supports video calls to groups of up to 50 people.
Facebook reportedly is working on a group video calling feature, but "video introduces some issues associated with bandwidth, both in the network and on the end device," Frost's Jude pointed out.
Still, he said, "I expect Facebook will do something like that eventually

The moves come on the heels of Samsung's announcement this week that it was opening up its mobile Web browser to ad blockers.
AdBlock Fast, which was one of the first blockers to take advantage of Samsung's largesse, reportedly was tossed from Google Play.
Rocketship Apps, the company that makes AdBlock Fast, did not respond to a request for comment for this story, but CEO Brian Kennish told TechCrunch that Google cited Section 4.4 of the Android Developer Distribution Agreement as the reason for sacking the app.
That section bars developers from releasing apps that interfere with "the devices, servers, networks, or other properties or services of any third party including, but not limited to, Android users, Google or any mobile network operator."

Policy Not Crystal Clear

After its release, AdBlock Fast became the top app in the Productivity category in Google Play. That meteoric rise may have been the reason Google quickly removed the app from its online outlet, Kennish told TechCrunch.
Another ad blocker for Samsung's browser, Crystal, reportedly also ran afoul of Google. When its development team tried to upload an upgrade for the app, it was rejected. The reason? Section 4.4.
Other ad blockers can be found in Google Play.
"I can't comment on what happened to other apps," said Ben Williams, operations and communications manager at Eyeo, maker of AdBlock Plus.
"I can just say that Adblock Plus for Samsung browser is still in the Play Store," he told the E-Commerce Times.

Laconic Google

"While we don't comment on specific apps, we can confirm that our policies are designed to provide a great experience for users and developers," the company said in a statement provided to the E-Commerce Times by spokesperson Joshua Cruz.
Samsung was equally terse on AdBlock Fast's fate.
"We wouldn't want to comment about the issues another company may be facing," Samsung PR Manager Philip Berne told the E-Commerce Times.
While Google is concerned about ad blockers, it has other concerns about the mobile Web, noted Gavin Dunaway, senior editor at AdMonsters.

Better Mobile Experience

"Google's worried about ad blocking on the mobile Web, but they're more worried about the user experience on the mobile Web," he told the E-Commerce Times.
For example, Google in October launched its Accelerated Mobile Pages program to encourage content providers to create mobile Web pages that load faster and consume less precious data.
"It will have an effect on ads because it means there are going to be more static placements, rather than anything crazy that will take up a lot of data to download," Dunaway said.
The problem with ads on the mobile Web is that they're not designed for the mobile Web.
"You end up downloading everything meant for the desktop Web," Dunaway explained. "They're too big, and they're just going to suck away your data."

In-App Eyeballs

While advertising on the mobile Web may be annoying to users, it isn't where most advertising is seen.
"Ad blockers are for the mobile Web. Users spend most of their time in applications, where there is still no ad blocking," Dunaway said.
"As long as there's no ad blocking there, I don't think Google is all that concerned," he added.
Ad blockers are a problem for more than just Google, noted Greg Sterling, vice president of strategy and insight at the Local Search Association.
"The industry as a whole is getting very nervous about this," he told the E-Commerce Times.
"Google is taking the hard-line position because ultimately it sees ad blockers as destructive to advertiser and publisher interests," Sterling said.

Paying the Piper

The problem is a simple one from Google's point of view, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.
"Advertising is how you pay for Android," he told the E-Commerce Times. "If you put up an ad blocker, from Google's perspective, you're ripping off Google."
"When you decided to use Android, whether intentionally or not, you've agreed to consume ads to pay for this free operating system," Enderle noted. "This is Google making sure you pay what they think you should pay.

This write-up focuses on the things ladies do, or how they act when they are no longer virgins (though you might call this general generalization)
Just sit down, relax and read meticulously
8 Ways Ladies Behave That Show They Are No More Virgins
1. They Are Quick To Anger When Asked if They Are Virgins
You heard me right.. Research and findings have shown that non virgin ladies are very quick to anger if you inquire about their sexual lives. The virgin ladies may smile and keep quiet when asked; but to the non virgin ladies, they will flare up and will embarrass you. You will hear something like, is it your business if I’m a virgin or not?
2. They Become Moody
Don’t get me wrong because I’m not trying to say that a lady who suddenly becomes moody has lost her virginity, but all I’m trying to say is that, when a lady just recently lost her virginity, she becomes incessantly quiet for a few days. She may lock herself up in her room probably because she has something up her sleeves
3. They Pick Quarrel At The Mention Of The Word Virginity
You heard me right. I have noticed that many non virgin ladies are usually uncomfortable when you place so much emphasis on virginity. It’s either they verbally attack you, or they tell you that you are still immature and really need some maturing to do
4. She Becomes Outspoken On s*x Discussion
Many virgin ladies tend to be quiet when people discuss s*x (though not in all cases). However, she used to be timid before when she was still a virgin, but when she’s no longer one, she may not be shy to take part and air her views when s*x topics arise
5. She Hovers Around Lecturers’ Offices
I’m a living witness of this. As a student, I have seen some ladies hovering at lecturers’ offices even when they have been told about how people avoid the lecturers because they are known for sleeping with students. These ladies are like, I only often go to his office see him and nothing more. *if I hear*
6. They Live a Life Of “Don’t Judge Book By Its Cover
Yes it’s true that we should never judge a book by its cover, but it’s paramount to know that the world is fast evolving into a different thing entirely. Despite the fact that one’s appearance is the first letter of recommendation; virgin ladies mostly tend to maintain their natural look, but talking about the non virgin ladies, they can spend eternity of the cosmetics shops painting their faces just as we used to draw apples and yam on drawing book when in KG classes, they wear waist chain and won’t be shy to flash it when on okada. This is done to attract various species of guys
7. They Mostly Scam Guys
Yes many virgin ladies are usually very proud and tend try to hold themselves in dignity. A guy will have to pester her on a date before she finally agrees; but to a non virgin lady, when you invite her on a date, she will bring gangs of friends without even informing you. This is a bid to eat your money
8. They Upload Boobs/Buttocks Revealing DPs
In my personal belief, I have come to conclusion that ladies who upload boobs and buttocks reveal pictures on social networks are most likely not to be virgins; because, virgin ladies seems to be somewhat shy to do that poo

A 21-year-old university drop out now earns up to £80,000 a month.
The self-taught stockbroker claimed that he rakes in £20,000 and £30,000 on a bad month.
Londoner Elijah Oyefeso appeared on Channel 4’s Rich Kids Go Shopping and claimed that he made his fortune by using his student loan to set up his empire.
He now lives in £5,000-a-month flat in pricey Kensington, and splashes out on super cars, having recently snapped up a £125,000 Mercedes GTS.
After his fortunes changed, Oyefeso said that he now only works just one hour a day.
“On a good month, I earn between £70,000 and £80,000,” he told FEMAIL.
“If you work hard you don’t need to look at the price tag, you just get it.”
Originally from Camberwell, he revealed how he suffered at the hands of jealousy of his peers especially after splashing out on his first Mercedes at the age of 18.
“They’ve come from the same area and they’re still in the same area and went to school in the same area,” he said.
“My mum came from west Africa and came with probably £100 in her pocket.”
He dropped out of his business management court at University of Buckingham to give him a leg up and began investing with the cash.
In just nine months, he was earning tens of thousands of pounds on the stock market.
Oyefeso was filmed for the documentary trading online, where he made £1,000 in just 15 minutes.

He claimed that he knows “when to stop” after having three years of experience under his belt.
Classical music is his go-to genre while trading, as he said: “There’s a saying, you are who you chill with. I chill with people who have half a million in the bank.
“Earning £20 to £30,000 a month, in my world that’s not good. It motivates you to do more.”
Earlier this year, he made headlines for crashing his £150,000 Lambourghini into his other £60,000 Bentley, leaving him with a £55,000 repair bill.
Oyefso revealed that he likes to invest in watches as well, revealing that he splashed out on a £21,000 Cartier watch that he’s only worn twice since purchasing it. He also gives his watches names, dubbing one watch Michelle and another Aaliyah. Yes, seriously.
He set up his company, DCT Training Group, to help others learn how to become a stockbroker. But gives a free trial of just five days before making users stump up £107 a month.
“It’s to help people learn the basics. I tell them to go to this website or read this book,” he said.
Of his weakness for cars, after splashing out on his Lambo at the age of 20 and painting it gold, he said: “When you’re little you’ve got your ideal car, you’ve got your dream car. Some kids are like ‘I want to get a Bugatti, I want to get a Ferrari’.
“Some people are like “yeah yeah.” But I got it.’ That was my dream, I worked for it, I got it.”
While he certainly likes his toys, the university drop out is currently building something special for his mother in Africa.
“It’s a surprise I haven’t told her yet,” he said of the £76,000 five-bedroom home.
Well, he’s let the cat out of the bag now.

A man known as the world’s best chef has been found dead at his home in an apparent suicide.
Benoit Violier, 44, was found dead with self-inflicted gunshot wounds, according to police who are investigating his death.
The chef, who was known for running the prestigious Restaurant de l’Hotel de Ville, was found dead at his Switzerland apartment.
In a statement police said: “Late in the afternoon, police […] went to [his home] where they discovered at his home the body of Mr Benoit Violier.”
Police outlined that they believe he died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds in the statement.
The chef rose to fame after his restaurant was named “the world’s best” by France’s La Liste ranking.

And virtue,though in rags,will keep me warm’ the four undergraduates and three others recently arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for alleged involvement in Internet scam,will now understand the wisdom behind these words of English dramatist,John Dryden.


They were arrested days back, in two different locations in Ibadan, Oyo State.According to EFCC,the undergraduates are: Otuyalo Damilola, a 400 level student of Computer Science of Lead City University, Ibadan; Adegbuyi Michael, an undergraduate of University of Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia; Ibrahim Aruna, a student of Mineral Resources Engineering, Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State and Adeosun Matthew, a 200 level student of Banking and Finance, University of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. Others are Afolabi Ayodele, Balogun Olumuyiwa and Abiola Okunola.


Five of the suspects: Aruna, Mathew, Ayodele, Olumuyiwa and Okunola were arrested together at the Iyana Adeoyo Branch of a first generation bank in Dugbe, Ibadan, while they were collecting proceeds of scam via Western Union.The other two suspects: Damilola and Michael were picked up in a rented apartment in Oluyole Estate, Ibadan, Oyo State.

The arrest of the seven suspects followed intense surveillance by operatives of the Commission who had been on their trail for sometime. One of the suspects, Olumuyiwa, admitted conning a white American lady, Sarah Jorth, in a romance scam. He said he was used a false name (Vincente Marco) to deceive her into believing that he would marry her and in the process raked in more than $450,000( Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) from her. Two other suspects: Damilola and Michael also confessed that they were into Internet scam to make ends meet.
According to Damilola, “I am into yahoo yahoo (Internet fraud) and I do this to earn a living. I make use of a laptop to access Internet, to look for vulnerable white men and women who will fall for my scam. I acquired my Infinity Jeep and Honda Accord car through the fraud”.
He also admitted that he had been in the business since 2010.Michael confessed that he started Internet scam since 2000 when he was a student at the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Even when he moved to Malaysia, he was still engrossed in the business. “Anytime I come home on holiday, I look for vulnerable targets because the rigour of studies in Malaysia would not allow me to do it there,” he said.
He disclosed that his specialty was lottery scam.Items recovered from the suspects include: three laptop computers; one flash drive; two Visafone modems; one travelling passport; one Infinity Fx 35 SUV, one Honda Accord car and some bank documents.
They will be arraigned in court as soon as investigations are concluded.

The traditional ruler of Ota in Ado-Odo/Ota local government of Ogun State, Oba Moshood Adetoro Alani Oyede is dead.
According to a dependable government source, the first class king of the Awori people of Ogun State passed on few hours ago.
Yemojanewsng.com learnt that the former educationist before he was crowned as king in 1997 had been hospitalized at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State for some months before his transition.
Details later…..

There was no grand announcement -- media outlets noticed the new development and after inquiries, Facebook said it was an extension of the VoIP in Messenger test it launched earlier this year in Canada.
The feature works within the Facebook Messenger app on the iPhone. Users can place a call to contacts from the conversation list if that person has Messenger for iOS as well -- not just the Facebook app. The call goes over data networks or WiFi, instead of the voice service the carrier provides.
A Facebook spokesperson was not immediately available to comment for this story.

A Cutting-Edge Move

It is a savvy move on Facebook's part, Paul Levinson, professor of communications and media studies at Fordham University, told MacNewsWorld.
"By doing this, Facebook is instantly allying itself with the cutting edge of the smartphone revolution -- a revolution in which it needs to be more of an active participant, rather than just a destination to reach on the phone."
The free part of the offering is bound to be attractive to users with unlimited data plans, Bruce White, professor of computer information systems at Quinnipiac University told MacNewsWorld. "What is especially appealing to this is that instead of using your voice minutes, it uses your unlimited data access"

Sometimes You Want to Hear a Voice

The offering also fills a hole in social-media communication that, for all its popularity, is still quite noticeable: sometimes people want to talk, not just hit "Like" or make clever comments about posts.
"Let's look at a scenario," White said. "You are on Facebook and one of your close friends has just posted that they are engaged. You can post "congratulations" to them on Facebook, but you really want to talk to them. So, with a click, you call them through this new service."
Plus, he continued, it is faster than the alternative, which is reading the announcement, then pulling out the phone, finding the friend's number and so on.
For Facebook, the app has the advantage of keeping users on the site that much longer, he added.

Facebook vs. the Carriers

In short, the move appears to be initial steps for a larger wireless play by Facebook. Carriers won't likely be impacted in the short term but the long-term possibilities may cause them some sleepless nights, Andreas Scherer, managing partner at Salto Partners, told MacNewsWorld.
"If Facebook is able to deliver this capability on all major mobile platforms and allows its users at some point to call to any phone number -- landline, mobile or otherwise -- then the world largest social media platform could easily become the world largest wireless provider," he said.
"Current carriers would be marginalized by simply delivering the bandwidth to enable a user experience that is created, enhanced and owned by Facebook," according to Scherer.

The Drawbacks

That day -- if it comes at all, though -- is far off, at least based on what Facebook is currently offering. The new service has a number of limitations, starting with the fact that it is only available to iPhone users, Andy Abramson, CEO of Comunicano, told MacNewsWorld. Also, to connect, both parties need to be using the Messenger app.
"The biggest hurdle, and why this won't be a threat to mobile operators, is unlike Skype, if the person you want to reach isn't online, there's no outbound calling to a landline or mobile as there's no interaction with the information on how to reach you from inside your Facebook profile."
What this offers Facebook users is instant voice if the person is online and available, Abramson said. "This type of presence-based calling has been around for a very long time so I don't see it as breakthrough."

Improving our lot has been a fixation throughout virtually all of human history, so it shouldn't come as any great surprise that Microsoft couldn't help itself when it became time to update its OS -- an OS that we had all learned to use expertly over the last 20 years or so.
That obsession, along with a need to keep about 100,000 employees occupied, resulted in Windows 8's improvements over Windows 7 -- the strange omission of the Start button and the hiding of the Windows Desktop, that icon-studded screen we used to launch into.
Well, if you don't like improvement, are simply a Luddite or just fondly miss the Windows Desktop, you can take matters into your own hands. Here's how to start Windows 8.1 into Desktop mode -- bypassing the new, improved tile-based look -- plus a couple of other tricks.

Update Windows 8 to Free Windows 8.1 (If You Haven't Already)

Step 1: Make a backup of your personal files by swiping in from the right edge of the screen and choosing Search. Enter the term File History Settings and then click on the results and follow the instructions to perform the backup.
Tip: You'll need an external drive, like a USB memory drive.
Step 2: Touch or click on the Store tile on the Start page.
Step 3: Choose the free Windows 8.1 Update and select Download. Allow the update to proceed and complete. Then restart the PC and sign in.

Configure the Desktop Startup

Step 1: Launch the Desktop from the Start page by clicking on the tile labeled Desktop.
Step 2: Right-click on the Taskbar.
Tip: The Taskbar is the solid-colored strip below the wallpaper.
Step 3: Choose Properties and then the Navigation tab in the resulting box.
Step 4: Scroll down to the dialog, "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the Desktop instead of Start," and check the checkbox. Click on OK.
The next time you restart your computer, the Start tile-based page will be skipped, and you'll launch into a Windows 7-style desktop instead. Hooray for the Luddites.
Tip: While you're on the Desktop page, check out the new-in-Windows 8.1 Windows icon in the bottom-left corner. It's a Start button of sorts, and clicking on it alternates you between the tile-infested Start page and the lovable classic Desktop page.

Launching Into the App Page

Adding insult to injury in the Windows 8 environment, you may have noticed that the Start page -- the one with all of the newfangled tiles -- doesn't include all of the apps that you've painstakingly searched for and downloaded.
The full listing of apps are in a page called Apps, not Start. You can get to the Apps page by clicking on the new-in-Windows 8.1 Down arrow in the bottom-left corner of the Windows 8.1 Start page if you want to see that page.
Here's how to launch straight into Apps from Desktop, bypassing Start.
Step 1: Launch the Desktop from the Start page by clicking on the tile labeled Desktop.
Step 2: Right-click on the Taskbar.
Step 3: Choose Properties and then the Navigation tab in the resulting box.
Step 4: Scroll down to the dialog, "Show the Apps view automatically when I go to Start," and check the checkbox. Click on OK.
The next time you click on the Windows icon in the bottom left corner of the Desktop, you'll go to Apps instead of Start. Now that's an improvement.

They're clogged up like an aging sewer on the wrong side of town.
Just like on a PC, bits of app and OS code become discombobulated -- orphaned from the parent program. Onboard digital debris becomes disoriented like a drunk stumbling out of a favored hole-in-the-wall; jumbled lethargy sets in, and the device can take forever to start or become sticky in operation.
Well, just like a PC -- or a run-down apartment house, for that matter -- you can freshen up a gloopy smartphone. Here's how to go about speeding up a slowing Android smartphone.

Get Rid of Superfluous Apps

The purpose of this procedure is not so much to free space but to remove any apps that might be performing poorly. Apps can contain all sorts of trouble-prone, permissions-based polling, checking and syncing.
Step 1: Open the Settings area by touching the Settings cogwheel-like icon. Then scroll through to the Apps menu item. In older versions of Android, it's labeled Applications.
Step 2: Touch the Downloaded tab and scroll through the list of apps. These are the apps that you've installed over the years.
Step 3: Touch the app label for any app that you haven't used in six months and press Clear Cache, then Clear Data and then Disable or Uninstall, depending on options proffered.
Tip: Be ruthless here and purge anything you're not using -- it's a lot easier than identifying rogue behavior app-by-app.
Step 4: Test by restarting the phone and unscientifically identifying whether performance has improved. Key benchmarks are time-to-start and speed-of-scroll between home screens.
If the phone is feeling nimble again, you've identified your issue.

Make Some Space

Step 1: Open the Apps menu item again from within Settings.
Step 2: Choose Options and then Sort by size.
Step 3: Scroll through the first few apps -- the most memory-hungry -- and clear the caches by pressing the Clear Cache button within each App label. This will free memory, allowing more operating headroom. Then test.
Step 4: Check storage by opening the Settings area again. Then scroll through to the Storage menu item.
View the Internal Storage graphical bar. If it's full, with little space being indicated as available, install LeveloKment's app Storage Analyser, available free in the Google Play store, and run it.
Tip: This app will identify the largest files on your device -- files that may be phantom -- and allow you to delete or move them off the device, thus freeing space. Then test.

Reinstall the Factory Stock Software

If the previous steps haven't solved the problem, this likely will. Like rehab (or the drunk tank) for our wrong-side-of-the-tracks inhabitant, this operation may sound like a big deal and a lot of work, and unfortunately it is, because you have to reconfigure your apps.
Step 1: Open the Backup and Reset menu item from Settings and check Backup My Data along with your Google account details if prompted.
Tip: Leave the phone connected to the Internet overnight if you are newly creating a backup. This will give the Google servers time to pluck the settings data like WiFi connections and passwords, which it will restore later. You can skip this, but you'll have to re-enter a bunch more stuff manually.
Step 2: Select Factory Data Reset from the same menu and follow the prompts to perform a full wipe and OS reinstall.
Tip: Before a reset save, off-device, any internal storage-stored media files, like captured photographs. A reset wipes internal storage.
Step 3: Allow the phone to restart and follow the prompts to set up your Google account on the device anew.
Tip: If your downloaded apps don't immediately show, you can kick-start the installation from Google's Play store My Apps menu item.
Step 4: Reconfigure your apps' settings.
Tip: This is the tried-and-true method to get the phone back to stock and a just-out-of-box state. Avoid restoring from backups in this case because you may reintroduce the issue or issues.

If you've installed Windows 8, it's worth downloading the recently released free preview version of Windows 8.1. By doing so, you will be able to take advantage of the updated OS's personalization and services improvements. The final build will be out later this year.
Curious Windows 7 users can also check out 8.1 by creating and installing an ISO file from the Microsoft website. I've written about ISO-creating concepts.
Windows 8 users update to Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store. Here's how to go about it if you've already got Windows 8 installed.

Step 1:

Verify that you have a recovery partition on your hard drive. Access the Command Prompt from the Windows 8 Search charm by entering the term Command. Right click on the result and choose Run as Administrator from the options.
Confirm at the prompts, and then enter the term "recimg /showcurrent" at the Command Prompt to identify if there is a recovery image present.

Step 2:

Create a recovery image if, in the previous step, a "no active recovery image" error appears.
Create the image by creating a folder called Refreshimage at the Command Prompt and then entering "recimg -createimage c:\refreshimage" and Enter.
Tip: The create folder command is "mkdir c:\refresiimage" and then Enter.

Step 3:

Create a USB recovery drive. This will allow you to revert back to your previous install from external media if you need to.
Enter the term Recovery in the Search charm and touch or click Settings. Then choose Create a Recovery Drive and the tool will open.
Choose Copy the Recovery Partition from the PC to the Recovery Drive checkbox and choose Next. Then insert a USB drive, choose it from the options presented and touch or click Next followed by Create. Allow the file transfer to take place and then choose Finish. Then remove and store the flash drive.

Step 4:

Browse to the Windows 8.1 Preview Web page and choose the Get It Now button. Then follow the prompts to open the file and allow the install to take place.
Tip: Back up your personal data before updating any operating system. An update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 should retain Windows settings, personal files and most apps.

Step 5:

Restart the PC when prompted, and then open the Store by touching or clicking on the Store tile. Then choose the Update Windows tile or any Update Windows prompt.

Step 6:

Select Download and allow the download to proceed. Follow the prompts to restart and allow the setup to proceed. Follow the prompts to set up the account, including entering a security code that can be sent by email when prompted.

Step 7:

Explore the new features, which include navigation arrows where there was previously white space, and other navigation tools, like a Windows icon for flipping between classic desktop and Windows 8 Start page. Tip: You'll need your Windows 8 product key when you update to the final edition of Windows 8.1 later this year.

Louis van Gaal has been sacked as manager of Manchester United, with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho set to be named as his replacement.

The Dutchman leaves after completing two years of a three-year contract.
Mourinho’s appointment is expected to be confirmed after the 53-year-old Portuguese meets with senior United officials on Tuesday.
Van Gaal has been made to pay for United’s poor Premier League campaign.
His Dutch coaching staff – including United assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg and goalkeeper coach Frans Hoek – have also left the club with immediate effect.

Wugang – A fish with a ‘human face’ is attracting waves of visitors to the home of its owner in Wugang City, Central China’s Hunan Province, local media reported.
According to China.org.cn, the “humanoid” carp belongs to Qiu Xioahua, a teacher at an elementary school in Wugang. Qiu has fished for nearly 20 years, but this is the first time he has caught this kind of carp.



The dark brown fish, caught by Qiu at a reservoir on April 30, measures 36 centimeters long and weighs 800 grams.
The fish’s mouth, nose and eyes resemble those of a human.
Pictures of the fish have gone viral on Chinese Internet platforms.
