Nokia embraces Android – Leaked Photos, Specs of Nokia Normandy

Gone September, when Microsoft began the process of acquiring Nokia- the erstwhile mobile giant, grapevine was that once the deal goes through, work on the first android phone by the Finnish multinational, will be put in cold storage. However, all Nokia fans who always wanted to see an android mobile phone from Nokia have a reason to rejoice now.

According to latest reports and some UI images leaked on Twitter by the notorious but mostly accurate tipster @evleaks, it’s confirmed now that Nokia Normandy- Nokia’s first Android application is live and ongoing.

RIP Facebook – could be your FB status in 2017

Facebook Is Dying

Have you lately felt that Facebook isn’t anymore as exciting as it used to be? But still it gives you kicks to check your timeline every few minutes! Does it seem like a viral disease that has infected your senses! Well you may be right.

A new research by authors at Princeton’s Aerospace Engineering School has equated Facebook to a plague. The report adds that the world’s most visited website has spread like an infectious disease but people are gradually developing immunity to its seduction. The study says that the social network will lose about 1 billion users in 3 years and will meet a fate same as that of MySpace. “Facebook will see a rapid decline in the coming years, losing 80% of its peak user base between 2015 -2017,”  predicts the study, an “Epidemiological Modeling of Online Social Networks.”

The researchers, Cannarella and Spechler employed what is known as the SIR (susceptible, infected, recovered) model of disease, which generates equations to map the spread and recovery of epidemics. The study has also utilized Google Trends data about MySpace—the website that was founded in 2003 and reached its peak in 2007 with 300 million registered users, before falling out of use by 2011—the Princeton study records similarities to how Facebook is on a similar path to being a thing-of-the-past.

But investors seem least baffled about the report; they don’t seem to be heading for the exit for now. The largest social network’s share price reached record highs this month, valuing the company at $142bn. Looks like Mark Zuckerberg has not many reasons to worry just yet.

The report comes just days ahead of Facebook’s 10th birthday on Feb 4 2014.
