Titan Partners HP To Launch Smart Watches

New Delhi: Watch-maker Titan and global information technology major HP
collaborates to offer a range of smart watches to be launched soon.
The new relationship between HP and Titan combine innovative materials,
design and custom technology to deliver products that are responsive,  and not
intrusive, Titan Co said in a statement.
"The range of smart watches will be launched later this year in India and select
international markets," it added.
Titan Co CEO (Watches and Accessories Division) S Ravi Kant said the two
companies would create a unique lifestyle offering for people not only in India,
but across the world.
This category of smart watches is going to change the way people view the art
of timekeeping and beyond. They can still wear "a drop-dead gorgeous watch on
their wrist infused with 'smart' technology for a new era of access and
connectivity", he added.
HP Inc General Manager, Wearables and Smart Platforms Sridhar Solur said
although personal style is the ultimate self-expression, some smart accessories
on the market force consumers to sacrifice form for function.
"Our legacy of innovation is helping fashion-forward brands infuse technology
into their designs to give consumers the stylish timepieces they want but that
are more connected and responsive to the way they live today," Solur said.
Titan, a JV between Tata Group and Tamil Nadu Industrial Development
Corporation (TIDCO) make watches, jewellery and eyewear.

China's Pepsi Phone Has Been Unveiled

China Unveils Pepsi branded Phone

It was confirmed last month that an official Pepsi Phone would be coming in
the near future and after much speculation, it has finally been unveiled.
Though it has Pepsi branding, the Pepsi Phone is part of a crowdfunding
campaign by Koobee (which closes on December 3) and is aimed exclusively
at the Chinese market.

Essentially a rebranded Koobee H7, the Pepsi Phone sports a 5.5-inch 1080p
display on 2.5D curved glass, a MediaTek MT6592 1.7GHz octa-core
processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and dual SIM support (you can
use the second slot for microSD expansion up to 64GB).

It's also got a 5-megapixel front-facing camera (presumably to take crisp
shots of yourself enjoying a refreshing Pepsi), while on the rear you'll find a
13-megapixel camera with a fingerprint sensor right below it.
The Pepsi Phone comes in Silver, Gold and Blue, and is being released in two
different versions:

-the P1 (AU$108/US$78/£51), which is limited to (an already sold out) 1000 units    and is bound to carrier China Mobile, and

-the P1s (AU$153/US$110/£72), which is still available and open to the rest of
the world's radios.
The phone though comes with Pepsi branding, it is manufactured by
shenzhen-based Scooby Communication Equipment Co and it's sold via a
Crowdfunding campaign.

Ambode Urges Lagoscian To Remain Calm Over Scarcity Of Water

Ambode Urges Residents To Remain Calm Over Scarcity Of water

As the scarcity of water in Lagos State worsens, the state government has urged residents to remain calm as it is working hard to ensure that it delivers 773 million gallons of water a day by 2020.

The call comes just as several communities including the state capital, Ikeja, have been without water for over a week.

It was learnt that the cost of water being sold by vendors had risen.
According to a report by New York-based media company, Bloomberg, the Lagos State Water Corporation’s current capacity is 210 million gallons of water a day compared with the 540 million gallons needed by Lagosians.

The 210 million gallons of water can only meet the demand of seven million Lagosians out of the over 20 million residents.

However, the Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Babatunde Adejare, said in a statement on Monday that the challenges would soon come to an end.
He said the government understood the hardship Lagosians face every day over the scarcity of water.

Adejare attributed the challenge to technical hitches and explained that efforts were being made to address them.

“The state government is on top of the situation and I can assure residents of the state that before the week runs out, they will begin to enjoy regular water supply. The Lagos Water Corporation is working round the clock to address the technical hitches and we need to get it right once and for all,” Adejare said.

APC Deliberates On 5000 Stipend

APC N5,000 Promise

Immediately after the civil war in 1970, Gen. Yakubu Gowon purposed in his heart to introduce compulsory and free education for the estimated (then) six million primary school age children. By the time that registration ended, no fewer than 11 million children had been registered! The scheme had to be abandoned.

Now, the All Progressives Congress says that it wants to pay a monthly stipend of N5,000 to each of an estimated population of 25 million youths. Questions: 1. How did the party arrive at this figure in a country of nearly 200 million with unbridled population growth? 2. Where would the money come from? 3. What range would the party’s definition of youth be?

It’s human to err. Let the party think of a better and sustainable way to improve the lives of all Nigerians.

Sepp Blatter In Hospital After Body Breakdown

Blatter in hospital

Suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter has been admitted to hospital in Switzerland.

Blatter’s closest advisor, Klaus Stohlker, told Sky Sports the 79-year-old had been taken to hospital after he felt unwell last week.

Stohlker said Blatter was undergoing tests and had told him “his brain and heart were fine, but his body was letting him down”.

Stohlker said, “He is in hospital but he has just been told to relax for a few days and he will be back to work on Tuesday.

“His most important message is that he is fully preparing himself to go ahead with his fight against his 90-day suspension. He is deeply convinced that the ethics commission cannot force him out.

“He said to me yesterday, ‘I was elected president by the 209 members of the Congress and no commission can put me out of the game’. He’s fighting against this suspension.”

Stohlker added that Blatter said he had no involvement in the events surrounding Germany’s 2006 World Cup bid, which has led to the resignation of German FA president Wolfgang Niersbach.

Blatter, who announced he would stand down earlier this year, has been provisionally suspended by FIFA for 90 days after Swiss prosecutors questioned him as part of their investigation into football corruption.
