i think its reasonable, i push similar numbers.

Thanks for the clarification, and the link. I'm from Zimbabwe, i guess due to our political geography we can wave goodbye to any dreams of a PoP here, lol.

where in Africa will you be rolling out?

/rant i really hate this trend. Africa is not a country, it has 54 sovereign states.

this reminds of a recent episode of Silicon Valley, the eccentric billionaire Hanneman says, "If you show revenue, people will ask how much, and it will never be enough, It’s not about how much you earn but what you’re worth.....”

Initially i didn't see the sense in the Whatsapp acquisition, i think it was purely defensive, as well as the data FB could get their hands on.

I love OneDrive, possiblt the best native synchronization tool out there, at least for Windows anyway. Mine does a funny thing though, whenever i git clone a repo into a folder in OneDrive it will crash. Does that ever happen to you?

26yrs old, Academia (Info Sec), I was in the final year of my BTech Computer Science, i got a scholarship from my Undergrad(UG) university to do my final(4th) year in South Korea as part of an Academic Exchange. The catch was that when i returned upon completion of the exchange i was to work as a TA at my UG university. when i returned i worked there for a year and was sent to do a Master's(Info Sec& CyberForensics) abroad, the catch was that again i had to return and work as Faculty(lecturer) at my UG university. So my career path has been chosen for me in a way.

i would prefer to get into private industry when my contract finishes.

I dont have that feature on my device, or rather i cant see it.

I think FB is better placed to do this, given that they have the Phone books of everyone who has the Facebook app and Whatsapp.

they will give time, e.g Ubuntu One file services closed shop and gave some time and even free migration services to another provider.

Ahh, i think i get it. but that brings us back to my question; how is the data store on the server, Encrypted or plaintext? if its encrypted would that mean decryption happens per each session. e.g. when using whatsapp web ( could it be why they need the phone to be online? )

i have used each of the ones u mentioned, even used Path Talk, and Kakao Talk, and Wechat, these are very popular in Asia. I always feel they are boated with unnecessary functions. All i want( as well as many people) is to send a message/picture & the ocassional video quickly and efficiently.

If only hangouts was more like the good old google talk. Line is starting to look like a social network, same with Kakao. I don't want stickers i just want no frills messaging.

Whatsapp prides itself as being like SMS, and that's exactly what i want, but without the expensive SMS rates(for us from Africa & Asia)

flew right past him. What would be a better monetization alternative though?

how is it end to end when data is stored on their servers, i would assume its stored without encryption right?

  The lives of small men are like spiders' webs;
  they are studded with minute skeletons of greatness.
  Excerpt from House of Hunger

THE BAR-STOOL EDIBLE WORM

  I’m against everything
  Against war and those against
  War. Against whatever diminishes
  Th’ individual’s blind impulse.

  Shake the peaches down from 
  The summer poem, Rake in ripe
  Luminosity; dust; taste. Lunchtime
  News – pass the Castor Oil, Alice.

THERE’S A DISSIDENT IN THE ELECTION SOUP!

  I have no ear for slogans
  You may as well shut up your arse
  I run when it’s I LOVE YOU time
  Don’t say it I’ll stick around
  I run when it’s A LUTA time
  I run when it’s FORWARD time
  Don’t say it we’ll fuck the whole night
  The moon won’t come down
  At first awkwardly, excruciatingly embarrassing
  But with Venus ascending, a shout and leap of joy

  When the sheets are at last silent
  Don’t ask “What are you thinking?”
  Don’t ask “Was it good?”
  Don’t feel bad because I’m smoking
  They ask and feel bad who are insecure
  Who say after the act “Tell me a story”
  And you may as well know
  Don’t talk of “MARRIAGE” if this reconciliation
  is to last.

SHOCK: FOR BETTINA

  Like meteorites, through my long
  Isolated heart-atmosphere, you
  Burst incandescent over my platinum history.
  My future in earthquake reeled; my present only on 
  Seismograph could point to the cataclysm – no
  Evidence of you attached to my stone and flesh,
  Only nightmarish passions which I can still hear
  When you shake your head. Shake it vigorously.
  Nuclear tests of underground love!
