VIDEO: ‘CHOP MY MONEY’ – PSQUARE FEAT AKON, MAY D

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 10:45:00 +0100

We’ve heard the original version off their Invasion album and we love it, well the remix is just as good! Psquare at times look like they can’t do any wrong with their songs (even though we constantly accuse them of sound biting!).

Their recent romance with Konvict Music boss Akon seems to be paying off. When photos from the video shoot of this same song hit the web, it only created more anticipation for the ‘Chop my money’ remix.

The remix which also features Square Record newbie May D has that tingly feel and blended with Akon’s ever melodic crooning, we can say this is another hit!

The video directed by Jude Okoye and Ben Marc is quite interesting – telling a tale of a temptress who dazzles all four guys as she ‘chops’ their money and dumps them

Wizkid, Banky W Debut On Shuga

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Thu, 2 Feb 2012 08:53:00 +0100

Nigerian R’n’B star Banky W and his protégé WizKid will both debut as they play themselves in the MTV hit series, Shuga: Love, Sex, Money, the new seven-part drama series about sex-and-relationships among contemporary African youth.

Wizkid

The award winning singers will be performing during emotionally hard-hitting club scenes in the drama, which also has Kenya-based Nigerian musician Ikubese Emmanuel – a.k.a. 9con – playing the role of Femi.
A brutally honest account of emotional relationships among Kenyan youth, Shuga is minutely researched, beautifully acted and with stunning cinematography. It is directed by South African veteran director Teboho Mahlatsi, working with Kenyan director Lupita Nyong’o, who also plays a cameo as Ayira.
Produced by MTV Networks Africa in association with The MTV Staying Alive Foundation, PEPFAR and the Partnership for an HIV-Free Generation (HFG), Shuga was conceived to spread the message of responsible sexual behaviour and tolerance.
The initiative, funded extensively by the U.S. Government through PEPFAR, is working closely with the Government of Kenya to ensure the programme fits within Kenya’s existing HIV prevention strategy.
The series debut on 14 February 2012 on MTV Base (DStv Channel 322) and will run until 27 March 2012.

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Thu, 2 Feb 2012 08:43:00 +0100

The GSM logo is used to identify compatible handsets and equipment

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications, originally Groupe Spécial Mobile), is a standard set developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to describe technologies for second generation (2G) digital cellular networks. Developed as a replacement for first generation(1G) analog cellular networks, the GSM standard originally described a digital, circuit switched network optimized for full duplex voice telephony. The standard was expanded over time to include first circuit switched data transport, then packet data transport via GPRS (General Packet Radio services). Packet data transmission speeds were later increased via EDGE(Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution). The GSM standard is more improved after the development of third generation (3G) UMTS standard developed by the 3GPP. GSM networks will evolve further as they begin to incorporate fourth generation (4G) LTE Advanced standards. "GSM" is a trademark owned by the GSM Association.

History

Early European analogue cellular networks employed an uncoordinated mix of technologies and protocols that varied from country to country, preventing interoperability of subscriber equipment and increasing complexity for equipment manufacturers who had to contend with varying standards from a fragmented market. The work to develop a European standard for digital cellular voice telephony began in 1982 when the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) created the Groupe Spécial Mobile committee and provided a permanent group of technical support personnel, based in Paris. In 1987, 15 representatives from 13 European countries signed a memorandum of understanding to develop and deploy a common cellular telephone system across Europe. The foresight of deciding to develop a continental standard paid off, eventually resulting in a unified, open, standard-based network larger than that in the United States.

France and Germany signed a joint development agreement in 1984 and were joined by Italy and the UK in 1986. In 1986 the European Commission proposed to reserve the 900 MHz spectrum band for GSM. By 1987, basic parameters of the GSM standard had been agreed upon and 15 representatives from 13 European nations signed a memorandum of understanding in Copenhagen, committing to deploy GSM. In 1989, the Groupe Spécial Mobile committee was transferred from CEPT to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).^[

Phase I of the GSM specifications were published in 1990. The historic world's first GSM call was made by the Finnish prime minister Harri Holkeri to Kaarina Suonio (mayor in city of Tampere) on July 1, 1991. The first network was built by Telenokia and Siemens and operated by Radiolinja. In 1992, the first short messaging service (SMS or "text message") message was sent and Vodafone UK and Telecom Finland signed the first international roaming agreement. Work had begun in 1991 to expand the GSM standard to the 1800 MHz frequency band and the first 1800 MHz network became operational in the UK in 1993. Also in 1993, Telecom Australia became the first network operator to deploy a GSM network outside of Europe and the first practical hand-held GSM mobile phone became available. In 1995, fax, data and SMS messaging services became commercially operational, the first 1900 MHz GSM network in the world became operational in the United States and GSM subscribers worldwide exceeded 10 million. In this same year, the GSM Association was formed. Pre-paid GSM SIM cards were launched in 1996 and worldwide GSM subscribers passed 100 million in 1998.

In 2000, the first commercial GPRS services were launched and the first GPRS compatible handsets became available for sale. In 2001 the first UMTS (W-CDMA) network was launched and worldwide GSM subscribers exceeded 500 million. In 2002 the first multimedia messaging services (MMS) were introduced and the first GSM network in the 800 MHz frequency band became operational. EDGE services first became operational in a network in 2003 and the number of worldwide GSM subscribers exceeded 1 billion in 2004.

By 2005, GSM networks accounted for more than 75% of the worldwide cellular network market, serving 1.5 billion subscribers. In 2005, the first HSDPA capable network also became operational. The first HSUPA network was launched in 2007 and worldwide GSM subscribers exceeded two billion in 2008

The GSM Association estimates that technologies defined in the GSM standard serve 80% of the global mobile market, encompassing more than 5 billion people across more than 212 countries and territories, making GSM the most ubiquitous of the many standards for cellular networks.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, today suspended the protracted nationwide strike it embarked upon last year.
This strike was suspended after series of closed door meetings with representatives of ASUU and the Federal Goverment.
Though the national president of the union, Professor Ukachukwu Awuzie declined to confirm the development when our reporter called him this morning, other sources in the union claimed that a compromise has been reached between ASUU and the Federal Government.
When asked to confirm if the strike has been called off, Prof Awuzie simply said: “I don’t know about that. We have not spoken to the press. Thank you.”
But an executive of the union at the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo Campus, who craved anonymity hinted that “I’m not in the best position to talk about this anyway, but I think an agreement has been reached.”
The academic union embarked on the strike last year on the grounds that the Federal Government refused to meet with the union’s demands of improved welfare packages.
At the University of Lagos, all hostels that were under lock and key due to the strike have been reopened and lectures are expected to begin on Monday next week.
The school has officially announced the suspension of the strike.

ASUU Suspends Strike print

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Wed, 1 Feb 2012 15:53:00 +0100

Nigeria’s Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has suspended its two-month old strike over government’s refusal to properly fund the university system and implement the agreement reached three years ago.
The industrial action began on December 5, 2011. Students billed to graduate were caught up in the strike; and fresh and existing students were sentenced to idle weeks at home.
Lecturers are expected to resume work immediately.
An agreement to suspend the strike was reached today at a meeting at the University of Abuja.

‘My Market’ + ‘No Dulling’ – Mr 2Kay

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:39:00 +0100

After the succesfull debut single ‘Run this town‘ which has seen him gain a substantial amount of publicity, the Waterside boy better known as Mr. 2Kay is back.
Riding on the wings of Grafton Records, 2kay is finally ready to release his debut album ‘Waterside Boy‘, (26-02-2012) as he drops a couple of singles to whet our appetite.
‘My Market‘ will definitely make the club houses. Following the new ‘Afro-pop’ sound which has become a routine for Port Harcourt acts, 2kay’s almost-coarse voice sounds well on the Orbeat-produced song.
‘No dulling‘ which takes background instrumentation from US rapper Lil’ Kim’s ‘Lighter’s up’ isn’t a bad cut either. 2Kay professes his love for the streets and how he survives.

VIDEO: ‘Raindrops’ from 2face Idibia

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:16:00 +0100

2face has released yet another video off his ‘The Unstoppable; Intl. Edition‘ album. While we wait expectantly for another record from the multiple award winning artiste, we will have to make do with this…
The song still sounds fresh even after three years after release. But the video, directed by Isaac Offei Awuah is certainly played out for an icon like Mr Idibia. Often, his videos portray him in a reflective mood, the concept is ‘overflogged’ and leaves you bored halfway.
It’s still nice to watch 2face in words and pictures though…

What is a computer virus?

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:11:00 +0100

What is a computer virus?

A computer virus is a small software program that spreads from one computer to another computer and that interferes with computer operation. A computer virus may corrupt or delete data on a computer, use an e-mail program to spread the virus to other computers, or even delete everything on the hard disk.

Computer viruses are most easily spread by attachments in e-mail messages or by instant messaging messages. Therefore, you must never open an e-mail attachment unless you know who sent the message or unless you are expecting the e-mail attachment. Computer viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files. Computer viruses also spread by using downloads on the Internet. Computer viruses can be hidden in pirated software or in other files or programs that you may download.

Symptoms that may be the result of ordinary Windows functions
A computer virus infection may cause the following problems:
Note: These problems may also occur because of ordinary Windows functions or problems in Windows that are not caused by a computer virus.

Windows does not start even though you have not made any system changes or even though you have not installed or removed any programs.
Windows does not start because certain important system files are missing. Additionally, you receive an error message that lists the missing files.
The computer sometimes starts as expected. However, at other times, the computer stops responding before the desktop icons and the taskbar appear.
The computer runs very slowly. Additionally, the computer takes longer than expected to start.
You receive out-of-memory error messages even though the computer has sufficient RAM.
New programs are installed incorrectly.
Windows spontaneously restarts unexpectedly.
Programs that used to run stop responding frequently. Even if you remove and reinstall the programs, the issue continues to occur.
A disk utility such as Scandisk reports multiple serious disk errors.
A partition disappears.
The computer always stops responding when you try to use Microsoft Office products.
You cannot start Windows Task Manager.
Antivirus software indicates that a computer virus is present.

Symptoms of a computer virus

If you suspect or confirm that your computer is infected with a computer virus, obtain the current antivirus software. The following are some primary indicators that a computer may be infected:

The computer runs slower than usual.
The computer stops responding, or it locks up frequently.
The computer crashes, and then it restarts every few minutes.
The computer restarts on its own. Additionally, the computer does not run as usual.
Applications on the computer do not work correctly.
Disks or disk drives are inaccessible.
You cannot print items correctly.
You see unusual error messages.
You see distorted menus and dialog boxes.
There is a double extension on an attachment that you recently opened, such as a .jpg, .vbs, .gif, or .exe. extension.
An antivirus program is disabled for no reason. Additionally, the antivirus program cannot be restarted.
An antivirus program cannot be installed on the computer, or the antivirus program will not run.
New icons appear on the desktop that you did not put there, or the icons are not associated with any recently installed programs.
Strange sounds or music plays from the speakers unexpectedly.
A program disappears from the computer even though you did not intentionally remove the program.

Note These are common signs of infection. However, these signs may also be caused by hardware or software problems that have nothing to do with a computer virus. Unless you run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, and then you install industry-standard, up-to-date antivirus software on your computer, you cannot be certain whether a computer is infected with a computer virus or not.

Symptoms of worms and trojan horse viruses in e-mail messages

When a computer virus infects e-mail messages or infects other files on a computer, you may notice the following symptoms:

The infected file may make copies of itself. This behavior may use up all the free space on the hard disk.
A copy of the infected file may be sent to all the addresses in an e-mail address list.
The computer virus may reformat the hard disk. This behavior will delete files and programs.
The computer virus may install hidden programs, such as pirated software. This pirated software may then be distributed and sold from the computer.
The computer virus may reduce security. This could enable intruders to remotely access the computer or the network.
You receive an e-mail message that has a strange attachment. When you open the attachment, dialog boxes appear, or a sudden degradation in system performance occurs.
Someone tells you that they have recently received e-mail messages from you that contained attached files that you did not send. The files that are attached to the e-mail messages have extensions such as .exe, .bat, .scr, and .vbs extensions.

What is Spyware?

Spyware can install on your computer without your knowledge. These programs can change your computer’s configuration or collect advertising data and personal information. Spyware can track internet searching habits and possibly redirect web site activity.

Slow internet connection.
Changing your web browser’s home page.
Loss of internet connectivity.
Failure to open some programs, including security software.
Unable to visit specific websites, which may include redirecting you to another one.

Top 10 keyboard shortcuts everyone should know

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:03:00 +0100

Using keyboard shortcuts can greatly increase your productivity, reduce repetitive strain, and help keep you focused. For example, highlighting text with the keyboard and pressing Ctrl + C is much faster than taking your hand from the keyboard, highlighting the text using the mouse, clicking copy from the file menu, and then putting your hand back in place on the keyboard. Below are our top 10 keyboard shortcuts we recommend everyone memorize and use.

Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert

Copy the highlighted text or selected item.

Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert

Paste the text or object that's in the clipboard.

Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y

Undo any change. For example, if you cut text, pressing this will undo it. This can also often be pressed multiple times to undo multiple changes. Pressing Ctrl + Y would redo the undo.

Ctrl + F

Open the Find in any program. This includes your Internet browser to find text on the current page.

Alt + Tab or Alt + Esc

Quickly switch between open programs moving forward.

Press Ctrl + Tab to switch between tabs in a program.

Adding the Shift key to Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Tab will move backwards. For example, if you are pressing Alt + Tab and pass the program you want to switch to, press Alt + Shift + Tab to move backwards to that program.

Windows Vista and 7 users can also press the Windows Key + Tab to switch through open programs in a full screenshot of the Window.

Ctrl + Back space and Ctrl + Left arrow / Right arrow

Pressing Ctrl + Backspace will delete a full word at a time instead of a single character.

Holding down the Ctrl key while pressing the left or right arrow will move the cursor one word at a time instead of one character at a time. If you wanted to highlight one word at a time you can hold down Ctrl + Shift and then press the left or right arrow key to move one word at a time in that direction while highlighting each word.

Ctrl + S

While working on a document or other file in almost every program pressing Ctrl + S will save that file. This shortcut key should be used frequently anytime you're working on anything important.

Ctrl + Home / End

Move the cursor to the beginning or end of a document.

Ctrl + P

Print the page being viewed. For example, the document in Microsoft Word or the web page in your Internet browser.

Page Up / Space bar and Page Down

Pressing either the page up or page down key will move that page one page at a time in that direction. When browsing the Internet pressing the space bar will also move the page down one page at a time. If you press Shift and the Space bar the page will go up a page at a time.

VIDEO: ‘Too Much Money’ Iceberg Slim Feat. Banky W

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:33:00 +0100

When he’s not taking subliminal shots at M.I, US returnee Iceberg Slim does his best to make good music. Underrated by all standards, Iceberg still manages to dish out quality hiphop sound.

With an album not yet visible, Iceberg keeps throwing singles at us – not bad ones too.
His ‘Too much money‘ single which features EME singer Banky W dropped a few months ago and fully comes to life with the release of the video. Directed by Patrick Ellis, the three minute-plus clip just about depicts what the concept of the song…Go figure. Patrick Ellis does a fantastic job with lightning and editing too.

Nigerian Idol Studios Burns

noreply@blogger.com (caesarz Tips production) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:27:00 +0100

A shot of Nigerian Idol contestants at the Dreams Studio, Ogba, Lagos

Dreams Studio located at Omole, Ikeja where the popular Nigerian Idol reality show is shot was gutted by fire in the early hours of today Tuesday, January 24, 2012.

Fremantle Media Enterprises, organizers of the Nigerian Idol show confirmed the incident via the show’s Twitter account. ‘We regret to tell our fans and followers of the show that we woke up to discover a fire situation at our studio this morning!’, @NigerianIdol tweeted.

‘Thanks to the swift response of the fire services and neighbouring residents who immensely assisted, the fire was put out’ they stated.

An insider at the studio told our reporter that the fire started at about 7:30am this morning. ‘A janitor, Andrew went to turn on the generator, a socket sparked and the fire started. While resuming his cleaning duties, he saw a smoke in the admin part of the block and raised an alarm’, a source who would rather remain anonymous told NET.

Those who were present when the fire broke out then tried to evacuate all the cameras, lighting and other equipment. ‘The admin area of the building was affected but the recording studio wasn’t. Recording will go on.’ We learn that the section where the fire started is all burnt up, including the roof.

Another staff tells us ‘The rehearsal room was also affected. Minor cable damages, that’s all‘.

The Fire Emergency Squad was also called upon and they got there five minutes later. It is believed the quick response of the Fire Emergency Squad reduced major damages that would have been caused.

Dreams Studios have also been hired by other companies including Ultima Limited to host the MTN Project Fame and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (especially after Ultima’s property, also located in Omole, went up in smoke last year). Others are Glo Gbam and Deal or No Deal.
