Now you can control the sent messages on the receiver's phone! isn't this interesting :D

The phone to whom we send the message downloads the Strings. And Strings can't stop the person on the receiving end from getting the text in the first place. The app is also only compatible with iOS.

Strings isn't the first app that aims to control smartphone screw-ups. Invisible Textlet enable senders to see whether or not the recipient has opened their text yet, and if they haven't, the sender can delete it. Ansa is the "Snapchat of texting," it means your texts self-destruct after a certain amount of time. And the application On Second Thought allows users to recall their texts 60 seconds after sending them and has a "curfew" feature, it means texts can be "embargoed" until the next morning in case you've had one too many.

But Strings CEO Edward Balassanian told The Huffington Post that Strings is the first messaging app that gives users total control over their content. "The challenge with ephemeral messaging apps is that they treat all content like it’s created equally, but we shouldn't have to delete everything in order to delete some things," he said. "Rather than trying to make content disappear, we sought to give users control so they would feel confident and comfortable to share what they want with who they want, in any way that they want."

"Friends can download content you share, but only if you approve," Balassanian continued. "Screenshots are detected and users are banned after violating this three times. And of course, you can delete a string you create if, and when, you choose to and it will be deleted everywhere. From start to finish, users control their conversations on Strings."

There are also apps out there that stop you from sending questionable texts in the first place. Designated Dialler blocks specified contacts in your phone

HTC announced HTC DESIRE 320

HTC has announced the entry-level Desire 320 this morning. It is a slightly higher-end Desire smartphone.

The HTC Desire 826 has a 13-megapixel camera on its rear and an Ultra Pixel shooter on its front, as well as HTC’s Eye Experience suite of camera goodies. HTC has also crammed Boom Sound speakers with Dolby Audio on the Desire 826’s front, along with a 5.5-inch 1920x1080 display. Buried inside of the Desire 826’s polycarbonate frame is a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 2600mAh battery and Android 5.0 running beneath HTC Sense.

HTC says that the Desire 826 is targeted at countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Whether or not it’ll ever see a release outside of that part of the globe remains to be seen, but with its combination of a polycarbonate body, 13-megapixel rear and Ultra Pixel front cameras, and a 5.5-inch display, I could see quite a few folks having jones for this new member of the HTC Desire family.

Now you can check if anyone is spying on you!

Technologists have invented new app called Snoop Snitch. It can detect International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) catchers by keeping a tab if someone is spying on you.

According to media reports IMSI catchers eavesdrop devices used for intercepting mobile phone traffic and tracking the movement of smartphone users.

Security experts recently revealed a massive security flaw that could let hackers listen in on private calls and read text messages on mobile networks.

One way in which such hackers get access to such information is by using IMSI catchers or 'stingrays'.

Snoop Snitch can detect IMSI catchers and warn smartphone users if their devices are giving up their personal information and connecting to them.

The app scans for signals that indicate a switch from a legitimate tower to a 'stingray', where information may be being collected.

The app currently works with Android handsets that have Qualcomm chips inside such as Sony and Samsung Galaxy models.

Know about new feature of twitter

Twitter has introduced a new feature that will collect tweets in a Facebook-style news feed. Twitter has started a new recap feature to its mobile application called ‘While You Were Away’.

The “While you were away” feature pulls together posts that you might have missed. Like the Facebook news feed, the feature seems to choose tweets based on how much interaction they receive and whether an algorithm thinks users will be interested in them or not. Some users have got access to the feature in early December, but it has become popular in the recent weeks.

Hopefully it will be a bit more interesting with more fluency and features than simply pulling out the most popular posts, otherwise you could just end up seeing nothing but tweets from celebrities that got lots of Retweets, rather than stuff you care about.

OnePlus releases the Android 5.0 Lollipop alpha build for OnePlus One

In a submit launched on the OnePlus boards yesterday, it has launched the alpha build which can be downloaded manually as the replace won’t be obtainable over the air until OnePlus releases its secure build in February this year.

“That is the first step in what is going to turn into our personal customized ROM. It’s so early, actually, that this build accommodates no extras past the inventory options of AOSP Lollipop. It’s the base that we’ll proceed to build upon, enhance, and customise as we stabilize core functionalities on the newest firmware updates,” says the publisher.

OnePlus has added recognized points that it’s engaged on. As an example, knowledge roaming will probably be on default, digital camera and video could also be unstable, 4K video is supported in the alpha build however high quality is less than the mark, clock crashes periodically, Wi-Fi may be unstable, on first boot begin time is perhaps sluggish and so forth.

This build is ideally being launched because OnePlus is ready to determine points cropping up by way of suggestions from customers and work on them to provide you with a secure ROM.

The directions to flash your OnePlus One and set up the new ROM have been given step-by-step on the OnePlus forum.

SUICIDE IS INHERITABLE

A  study says that children whose parents attempted suicide are 5 times more likely to attempt suicide than another children which means suicide is also inherited.

 “In this high-risk longitudinal study, we found that parental suicide attempt conveyed a nearly 5-fold increased risk of offspring attempt, even controlling for the familial transmission of mood disorder,” explains lead study author David A Brent MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre.

But the study not only confirmed suicidal behaviour can in fact run in families, but that these pathways for suicidal behaviour can be transmitted through families, almost pathologically.

Impulsive aggression played an important role in increasing the likelihood of an offspring suicide attempt, but it did so by increasing the risk of the subsequent development of a mood disorder, which in turn increased the risk of an attempt.

In this study, the researchers looked at 701 children (between the ages of 10 and 50) of 334 parents who had documented mood disorders. 191 of these parents had attempted suicide, and 44 percent of the offspring had followed suit before the study; 29 percent attempted suicide after during the study follow-up.

Write a C++ program to check whether a number is even or odd

#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int a;
cout<<"enter no";
cin>>a;
if(a%2==0)
{
cout<<"no is even"< }
else
{ cout<<"no is odd"< }
}

Write a C++ to find greatest of three numbers.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int sum(int x,int y,int z)
{
if(x>y)
{ if(y>z)
{
return x;
}}
if(y>z)
{
return y;
}

else{ return z;
}
}
int main()
{ int a=0,b=0,c=0;
cout<<"enter first no";
cin>>a;
cout<<"enter second no";
cin>>b;
cout<<"enter third no";
cin>>c;
int d= sum(a,b,c);
cout<<"greatest is "< }

Write a c++ program to find Simple Interest and Compound Interest.

#include<cmath>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
double simple(int p,float r,int t)
{
return (p*r*t)/100;
}
double amount(int p,float x,int y,float z)
{ x= 1+z/100;
return p*pow(x,y);
}
double compound(int c,int d) {
return c-d;
}
int main()
{ int p=0,t=0;
float r;
double s = simple(200,1.2,2);
double d = amount(200,1.2,2,2.4);
double ci = compound(d,p);
}


Things to learn :

include<cmath> is used in place of include<math.h>
include<cmath>h is used in gcc compiler (in linux)

pow() is an inbuilt function in c++ with syntax :
double pow (double base, double exponent);

Write a c++ program to find the sum of two numbers using function.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int sum(int a,int b)
{ return a+b;
}
int main()
{
int a=0,b=0;
cout<<"enter 1st no";
cin>>a;
cout<<"enter 2nd no";
cin>>b;
int c = sum(a,b);
}

Things to learn from this program :

Defining a Function:

function definition :

return_type function_name( parameter list )
{
body of the function
}

Declaring a Function:

return_type function_name(parameter list);

Calling a function :

function_name( [arg1, ... ] );

Function is to be defined outside main() function.
a and b are to be initialized to zero so that all previous values are deleted.


Another way of doing the program (if you want to do sum of known values):



#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int sum(int a,int b){
return a+b;
}
int main()
{
int c= sum(10,20);
}
