Facebook Messenger Day is yet another take on Snapchat stories, see how to use it

Facebook messenger day;another clone of Snapchat Stories. If you think Facebook is done with the cloning of Snapchat stories then you may be in for a shocker as the social network giant has introduced yet another Snapchat and Instagram like ‘stories’ on Messenger and is called Facebook Messenger Day. The new feature allows users to post stories which expire after 24 hours.

According to Stan Chudnovksy, head of product for Messenger, he said the Facebook Mesenger Day would be launching globally on Android and Apple devices

At the end of last year, we launched Messenger’s new fast, powerful built-in camera to help make your conversations better than ever,” Chudnovsky wrote.

At the same time, we also began testing a way for you to share these photos and videos as they happen, by adding to your Messenger Day, where many of your friends can view and reply to them.”

Facebook Messenger Day is also similar to WhatSapp and Instagram stories which were launched recently and Messenger Day’s photos and videos also disappear after 24 hours.

How to use Facebook Messenger Day 

1. First make sure you’ve updated your Messenger app so you have the latest version.
2. Open Messenger, and tap on the camera highlighted with a sun to celebrate this launch. Doing so drops you right into the full-screen camera. Or, tap the “Add to your day” button at the top of your inbox to get started.
3. Snap a quick selfie or take a photo or video of what’s around you.
4. To add art and effects, tap the smiley face icon in the top right and then tap to add to your photo or video. You can also add text over your images by tapping the “Aa” icon, and you can overlay a drawing by tapping the squiggly line in the top right corner.
5. Once you have your photo or video the way you want it, tap the arrow in the bottom right corner. You can then add directly to your day, save it to your phone’s camera roll, and/or you can choose to send it to a specific person or group of people. The photo or video that you add to your day will be viewable for 24 hours.

You can also add to your day from a conversation you’re having with a friend or group of people. After you send a photo or video, you’ll see the option to “add to your day.” Simply tap that text, and you’ll be asked to confirm you’d like to add it to your day.

While you’re messaging with someone, you’ll see if they have anything new from their day, too

Holi 2017 Here's What You Should Know About the Hindu Festival of Holi

Every year millions of people in India, Nepal, and around the world celebrate the Hindu festival of Holi under clouds of technicolored powder.

The raucous Festival of Colors — a celebration of the vibrancy of spring, fertility, love and the triumph of good over evil — has inspired movies, music, and a plethora of whitewashed imitations. Here are some facts behind the ancient festival.

When is Holi?

Holi takes place on the last full moon of the Hindu lunar month Phalguna. This means it can fall anywhere between late February and late March on the Gregorian calendar — this year it's March 13 and 14 — and coincides with Indian winter's transitions into pre-monsoon or summer season.

Spring isn't one of the four seasonal designations of the Indian Meteorological Department but Holi celebrates many of its traditional associations: youth, fertility, playfulness and vigor.

It’s not clear exactly when Holi celebrations first began but they're reportedly referenced in the Puranas, or ancient Indian texts, in 4th century poetry, and in the 7th century play Ratnaval.

Why is it celebrated?

Appropriately for a festival of many colors, Holi has no singular significance. Instead it's tied to an array of stories from Indian mythology. One of the most popular is that of good overcoming evil in the guises of Prince Prahlad and the demon Holika.

Here's the short version: Enraged that his son Prahlad worshiped Lord Vishnu instead of the god he claimed to be, a powerful king named Hiranyakshyap conspired to have his wayward progeny killed by fire. The deal was that Prahlad would sit on the lap of the King's sister, the demon Holika, who had a boon to protect her from flames — in some versions a magic sari. But when the pyre was lit, Prahlad recited the name of Vishnu and emerged unscathed. Holika, on the other hand, was eaten up by the flames.

There are cuter stories associated with Holi too, like that of Krishna and his beloved Radha. Krishna — whose skin was blue — loves Radha. But he's embarrassed by his different skin color. On the advice of his mother, he smears his crush’s face with paint so they look alike. And it works: Krishna enchants the world, the saying goes, but Radha "enchants even Him."

What actually goes down?

Although in some regions the festival is drawn out for longer, Holi is normally spread over two days — pretty short by Indian standards where some religious festivals, like the Kumbh Mela, last almost two months.

On the evening of the first day, Holika Dahan, wood and dung pyres are burned to symbolize the triumph of good over evil. The second day, known as Rangwali Holi, is the carnival of color. Millions take to the streets to throw fistfuls of colored powder and soak each other with water guns. Traditionally, people were doused with turmeric and flower extracts and smeared with sandalwood paste but these days synthetic powders and dyed water are common: locals recommend you moisturize beforehand so the powder is easy to remove. Leave your iPhone at home. Maybe don't wear your best sari.

Holi is purportedly a time when people can celebrate together unbound by caste or ethnicity. It’s also traditionally an occasion for scoffing marijuana-infused goodies such as bhang lassi, a yogurt drink mixed with cannabis paste. The cultivation, sale, and purchase of cannabis is technically illegal in India, but various loopholes mean that consuming bhang, especially during Holi, is allowed. A more serious issue however is harassment during the festival. There have been numerous reports of men using the permissive atmosphere as a justification to sexually assault women over Holi.

Battered, Scarred And Broken But Logan’s Never Been Better

Like a weary cowboy Logan is back for one final adventure before riding off into the sunset, and what an adventure it is. 

Set in the near future the film follows an older alcoholic Logan (Hugh Jackman) who’s trying to keep the wolverines from the door as he ekes out a living as a chauffeur on the US/Mexican border.

Destiny comes a knocking however when Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart), now well into his nineties and suffering from dementia, introduces Logan to a young mutant called Laura who needs our healing hero’s help.

20th Century Fox

From the moment I saw the first trailer, with Johnny Cash’s haunting Nine Inch Nails cover, I knew Logan was going to be different from normal superhero films, I just didn’t realise how different.

Logan is a marvellous mutant of a film, perfectly balancing elements from classic westerns, action films and of course superhero films. I laughed, I gasped and I even welled up at one point.

20th Century Fox

Of course it wouldn’t be a Wolverine film without a liberal dose of ultra-violence and both the action scenes and fight choreography are blisteringly frantic, frightening and bloody, leaving me opened mouthed at the blood letting on screen.

Seriously, gone are the days of Wolverine’s claws being as sharp as butter knives, they’re now deadly weapons that dice and slice their way through just about anyone in the film leaving a trail of bloody carnage behind.

The violence would have felt a bit over the top had it not been off-set by the surprising amount of pathos in the film. You see for all the typical Wolverine tropes the hero of this film is not the same man we last saw in Days of Future Past.

20th Century Fox

Jackman portrays Logan as a broken man, both emotionally and physically. A man who’s trying to outrun both his past while refusing to acknowledge that there may be a future for him.

There’s a real sadness in seeing a man who was once so strong brought so low that you can’t help but become invested in his story and see where he goes.

It’s apt that the film chose the title Logan, as opposed to Wolverine III: Old Man Logan, because at the start of the film the Wolverine as we knew him is dead and the movie’s really about Laura and Xavier forcing Logan to become the Wolverine once again.

20th Century Fox

For all the praise though Logan is not a perfect film, it’s flawed just like its main character, and my biggest problem was with the film’s central antagonists which stopped it from completely transcending its comic book origins.

While both Richard E. Grant and Boyd Holbrook did sterling work as the film’s fiendish bad guys they felt oddly vestigial as though the film had evolved past this sort of antagonist.

At its heart though Logan succeeds in what it sets out to do because it’s the perfect love letter to the character Mr Jackman’s been playing for nearly two decades. It’s violent, sad and exciting.

If this is really the last time that Mr Jackman will pop the adamantium claws that made his name he can rest easy knowing that he’s justice to the Wolverine.

Angelina Jolie Cooks & Eats Big Hairy Black Spiders

Yikes! In a shocking new video, Angelina Jolie literally EATS many people’s biggest fear — tarantulas! Yep, the actress casually cooked up some gigantic hairy spiders with her kids and popped them in her mouth like they were chicken tenders. Watch the crazy video here, but seriously, you’ve been warned!

Omg! Is anyone else slightly terrified by this? Angelina Jolie, 41, has got to be the LEAST picky eater on the planet. After all, the actress cooked and ate giant spiders during a filmed interview as if it were NOTHING! And quite frankly, it is “nothing” for Angie, as she explained she’s made spiders and insects a regular part of her diet since first visiting Cambodia years ago — eek!

"You want to share a spider?" - Angelina Jolie cooks bugs in Cambodia http://bbc.in/2lzOcan

During her big interview with BBC, in which Angelina discussed her divorce from Brad Pitt, 53, politics, and raising her and Brad’s six children, Angie decided to teach her interviewer about Cambodian cuisine — since they WERE in Cambodia after all. So Angie took to the grill and fried up some veggies in addition to crickets, scorpions, and yes, even spiders!

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie: See Pics Of Their 6 Kids

And while the star did admit that tarantulas are an acquired taste, she’s obvi super into it now! Angelina even showed the reporter how to properly prepare the little beasts — including how to take their fangs out. “I think it’s always been a part of the diet,” Angie explained, referring to the Cambodian culture. “But then there is I think a truth to the survival during the war of course. When people were being starved, they were able to survive on things like this, and they did.”

Angelina also revealed how she first got into this type of food — stating that it’s best to start small and work you’re way up. “Cricket, you start with crickets,” she laughed. “Crickets and a beer. And then you kind of move up to tarantulas.” Her kids helped her prepare the insect-infested meal, which the reporter DID try FYI, and Shiloh, 10, commented that the scorpions tasted like “dry chips.” Angie noted on the other hand that the tarantulas “actually have really good flavor.” Hmm, you still can’t convince us Angie, but nice try!

Tell us, HollywoodLifers — are you so grossed out by this video or do you think it’s kind of cool? Would YOU eat a spider?

Nokia 3310 is back - and it even has Game Snake

The ‘indestructible’ handset returns, complete with one-month standby time, colour screen and bags of nostalgia

The rumours are true – the Nokia 3310 is back, and it even has Snake. The updated version of the early noughties icon, famed for its seemingly indestructible qualities, was unveiled at the Mobile 

World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday.

Anticipation of the device, a phone that doesn’t even have 3G, has been high ever since news of its release leaked earlier this year. The relaunched 3310 is produced by new mobile firm HMD Global, which licensed the Nokia brand last year. HMD is filled with key ex-Nokia people, and the phone appears to have lost none of the charm and identity of the 17-year-old original.

“This is what consumers have been asking us for, and so we decided that we’d just do it and have some fun with it, said Florian Seiche, president of HMD. “That’s the unique opportunity we have here at HMD with the Nokia brand.”

The phone has a slightly bigger screen than its namesake, and in colour this time. It also has a camera on the back, which the original did not. It does have a removable back cover and battery, and runs an updated version of the original’s S30 software. The software behaves so much like the original and followups you might think you were caught inside some sort of time loop. The phone will cost about €50 (£42) when released in the second quarter of 2017. The original cost in 2000 was £129.99 on pay as you go.

HMD promises that the new Nokia 3310 will be as durable as the old one, often seen as practically indestructible by the teens of the 2000s. The new 3310 is about half the thickness of the original and has 10 times the talk time, with 22 hours, and twice the standby time: one month – a duration almost unheard-of in 2017.

It’s charged via microUSB, so there’s no need to carry the pin Nokia charger of old, and there’s even a headphones socket in the bottom. Cynics might see the new 3310 as merely a marketing exercise but some analysts are more optimistic. CCS Insight’s Ben Wood says that out out of the approximately 20m phones sold in the UK each year, 1m of them are still feature phones such as the 3310.

Wood said: “There is a segment of the population that just wants a basic phone. From the stereotype of builder that just wants to call and text and if it gets broken it doesn’t matter, to the festival phone and the backup phone.”

Whether nostalgia, the desire for a less connected, but still contactable life or simply a budget phone is enough to drive meaningful sales of the new 3310 remains to be seen. The Nokia brand run by HMD was the number two global manufacturer of feature phones in 2016, with 35.3m handsets shipped for a 9% share of the market, according to data from Strategy Analytics.

Neil Mawston, executive director at Strategy Analytics said: “Nokia has struggled in smartphones, but it maintains a very good reputation for delivering user-friendly feature phones at competitive prices, such as the Nokia 230 dual sim.”

Perhaps the most interesting thing the Nokia 3310 tells us is not about feature phones, but rather the state of the smartphone market dominated by Apple and Samsung.

Wood said: “It’s an absolutely damning indictment of the state of the smartphone market that the world is so excited and obsessed with a retro feature phone that shipped 17 years ago.

“The 3310 is poised to be the biggest story of Mobile World Congress this year, where we’re surrounded by the most cutting edge technology available on the planet. Where phones have artificial intelligence in them, 4K screens that most people don’t even have on their TV at home, cameras that are more powerful than we’ve seen. And we’re all getting excited about a 17-year-old feature phone.”

For its part, the 3310 isn’t the only phone HMD is unveiling at MWC this year. Three Android-based smartphones, the competitively priced, mid-tier devices the Nokia 6, 5 and 3 – there is no Nokia 4 now nor has there ever been as the number is considered unlucky in China – each with aluminium unibody designs, a bloat-free Pixel-like Android experience and guaranteed updates for two years from release.

HMD hopes to achieve its aim of democratising smartphones and bringing high-end features and quality to mid-tier prices. Chinese rivals such as Huawei are already saturating the market at scale with quality devices.

For Wood, as nice as HMD’s new Nokia Android phones are, it’s all about the brand. He said: “If someone walks into a shop and they want a mid-tier phone, do they buy a Huawei, or a OnePlus, a Xiaomi or a Vivo or Wileyfox or something else they’ve never heard of, or a do they buy the Nokia, the brand they know?”
