Twitter officially introduced its new timeline yesterday. We had heard that the company planned to roll out this controversial feature that will put the best tweets first. It is quite strange for Twitter to roll it out given that its CEO denied that is was working on such a feature a few days ago. With the CEO denying this, no one expected this feature anytime soon. Well, it looks like the CEO may have duped us as the feature has been rolled out already. This new feature gives Twitter a Facebook-like look and this is what angered most people who…

Huawei has today officially launched the Y6 Pro which is meant to be the global version of the Huawei Enjoy 5 that was launched in China back in October. I have been expecting Huawei to roll out this device to international markets and it’s nice to see that happening. As for specs, the Huawei Y6 Pro is  very appealing to the true Android enthusiasts. The phone comes with a 5 inch HD display which is not too big neither is it too small. It is the perfect size for those who are not into phablets. Underneath, the Huawei Y6 Pro…

We have come so far as a country and this is evident when you look at the prices of most items we buy. This is especially for mobile phones which are slightly affordable right now but were way overpriced over 10 years ago.
