There is this tecno m3 I ordered from Jumia I got it for N9,500 and honestly it not bad at all plus it runs android 4.4 and 3G network . but the downside is just the screen size I think 3.0 or 3.5 inch not too good for coding

Benzene is the simplest Aromatic compound with molecular formula C6H6
Xylene is a benzene ring that has two methyl groups attached to it and there are different types e.g M,O and P xylene.
Ketone is compound from the carbonyl group with molecular formula RCOR.
Markovnicov's rule hmmmn I just know the more electronegative atom goes to the carbon that carries less number of hydrogen and the hydrogen goes to the carbon that carries high number of hydrogen.
It is used to get stable and non stable products too e.g but-2-ene and but-1-ene which the former is stable and the other is not and it's called Anti-markovnicov product.
well done sir, you need not say more. grin grin

AfricanApple: most times people misspelt alots of words especially words that starts with 'E' like 'emaciate, elaborate etc words like this are pronounced as imeciate
ilaborate

note I'm not saying all wpes that starts with E are pronounced like that.
so however they pronounced it doesn't matter, what matters is that u understand what they are saying
yeah, I understand, but talking about miss-spelling some words, you find out its necessary during writing works. But above all, understanding the reasons is the most necessary.

Ask (Pronunciation)
Aks or Ask

You don’t aks/axe for things. You ask for them. I’m not sure when the “s” and “k” got switched but it happens all the time when people talk.

asalimpo: Foreign motivational stories!
They dont apply here yet.
No apple dev conference here.
No 29hr power outage there on the back of 5 day stretch blackout-
No billonaire here who cares about dropping out- graduates ar sufferg here talkless of "dropouts"

[b] these stories dont apply here.
Besides,if not for internet we wouldnt really know how much computer sellers ar making off the average apple fan here.

Then you make them apply, thats innovation. See thats the problem we have, we Africans like be-littling ourselves with the motives that we can't achieve goals amidst all the challenges. This forum, is a typical example, assuming Seun started with your mindset 9 years ago (check the tech environs then in Nigeria) probably we won't have been here. Facing the challenge, I know is not that easy but with perseverence we will sore.

Programming / The 19 Yr Old iOS Developer Who Turned Down An Apple Job Offer, Motivational. by Adrenaline123(m): 7:52pm On Sep 25, 2014
Meet the 19-year-old iOS developer so successful he turned down an Apple job offer.

Last week, 19-year-old John Meyer dropped out of a prestigious university computer science programto work full-time on his tech startup, Fresco News.

His parents weren’t happy at first. He was attending NYU where his mom is a professor, he told Business Insider.

But they eventually came around to support him, because they had to admit: Meyer is already a successful independent computer programmer. He’s been writing apps since his freshman year in high school, 2008, after teaching himself the programming language Objective C.

And he’s been making money at it since his sophomore year of high school, he says.
“Money-wise, I’ve been pretty fortunate. I’ve been able to support myself since just a year after I got started,” he said.

He’s making so much money writing iPhone apps that during his first year of college he could afford to live alone, pay NYU tuition while bootstrapping Fresco, he told Business Insider.

Fresco Newsis a sort of intersection between Instagram, Twitter and Flipboard that turns photos from ordinary people on the scene of big news events into news stories.

We pressed him to reveal his income but promised not to share it. Let’s just say it’s on par with what software engineers earn at some of the best tech companies.

Despite his young age, Meyer’s app portfolio is impressive. He’s written about 40 apps, mostly through his app company TapMedia, he says.

This includes the popular iPhone 4 flashlight app Just Light(which may have been the very first flashlight app). It went nuts, downloaded about two million times, he said. Apple now includes a flashlight app with the iPhone.

He’s just had another huge hit called Perfect Shot,too, released about a year ago for iOS 7. It was downloaded 60,000 times in the first four days and is now at over one million, he says.

It uses the smile and eye detection features in the iPhone camera for taking the perfect group photo. Hold the phone up and wait. The app takes the shot in the perfect millisecond when everyone is smiling, no one is blinking. A very smart idea.

So smart that Meyer nabbed the attention of Apple. The company asked him to become an intern, he says. That’s a dream come true for most students. And it pays. Apple interns can make $5,723 a month.
But he turned Apple down.

“I get emails from recruiters all the time, and this past summer an offer to intern at Apple,” he says. But, he explains,”I am, at heart, an entrepreneur. I won’t be happy working for someone else.”

He’s not worried about missing the chance of a lifetime. “If I wanted to, I’m sure they would offer me another internship,” he says.

That’s not just the bravado of being 19. “I’ve been close with a lot of people at Apple, from going to Apple’s developer conference every year,” he says. “I’m in a field where I’ve done a lot of things already, an expansive portfolio of projects I’ve worked on.”

He’s actually been attending the developer’s conference since he was 16, sneaking in the first time with his dad’s help. His dad flew him to San Francisco, registered himself for the conference, then handed the pass to his son to attend.

“I was 16 and anyone under 18 wasn’t allowed. It was right after the successful flashlight app. My dad got the ticket from Apple, flew back home and left me in San Francisco,” he laughs.

Since then, Apple has created a teen program at the conference, he says. It’s been great for meeting other programmers his age, he says.

If all that wasn’t impressive enough, Meyer was also a finalist in the Thiel Fellowship, he says. That’s a program by billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel in which gifted young people drop out of school to start companies.

Only 40 people become finalists, flown to the Valley for mingling. Twenty are accepted, and Meyer wasn’t one of them.

That doesn’t bother him at all. He’s focused on turning Fresco into a money maker, talking to potential clients for it like New York Times and Wall Street Journal.

And he hasn’t ruled going back to college some day. But for now, he’s writing apps for fun and profit.

Phones / Re: The Difference Between Iphone 6 And Iphone 6 Plus by Adrenaline123(m): 3:36pm On Sep 17, 2014
Pricing and Storage

A 16 GB version of the iPhone 6 starts at $200 with a two-year contract, the same price the iPhone 5s cost last year. The larger iPhone 6 Plus, meanwhile, starts at $300 with a two-year contract.

Need more storage space? A 64 GB version of the iPhone 6 will cost $300, while a 64 GB iPhone 6 Plus will run you $400. If that’s not enough space for all your TV shows and photos, Apple is, for the first time, offering 128 GB versions of its smartphones. A 128 GB iPhone 6 will set you back $400 at the register, while a similarly equipped 6 Plus will cost $500.

Before you consider spending $200 on the 16 GB iPhone 6 or $300 on the 6 Plus, take a second to think about what you use your phone for. If you take a lot of photos and videos with your phone, download a lot of apps, and store a lot of movies and TV shows, then you’ll likely blow through 16 GB in no time.

In truth, you’re probably better off going with a 64 GB version of the iPhone. Sure, 128 GB is the best, but chances are you won’t come close to filling 64 GB.

If, however, you don’t really save much on your phone, or if you prefer to use cloud storage, then the 16 GB iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus will likely be a good fit for you.
Just remember that, if you buy your iPhone on contract, you’re basically stuck with it for the next two years. So make sure you choose the one that’s right for you.
