WhatsApp is introducing new features

Revoke a message in 5 minutes to delete it 

WhatsApp is currently testing a feature that could help save you if you tend to type before you think!

It’s been rumoured for a while that the app was working on an ‘unsend’ feature, which means users can delete messages they have sent and then decided they didn’t want to send that message.

The only 2 rules are that the message must not be read by the person you sent it to and it has to be revoked within 5 minutes.

Unfortunately, on the other end of the spectrum it’s also rumoured that WhatsApp could soon start sharing users data with parent company FaceBook.

Be educated along the way by your tour guides, who create the atmosphere, explore the scientific research station, chat to ‘scientists’ carrying out an array of tests and even ‘surgery’ on lifelike dinosaurs, you even get to witness them from the viewing platform on the planes of Oregon during the Cretaceous Period.

Hyperloop Completes First Test

Hyperloop, the futuristic tube travel method thought up by Elon Musk, that would get travellers from London to Edinburgh in 45 mins, has completed it’s first test, paving the way for a fully fledged release of the futuristic tech in the near future, making a vehicle travel at 70mph for 5 seconds using magnetic levitation.

The company has a goal for it’s next speed to be 250mph before aiming for the full speed of 750mph before we presume launching not long after barring safety licenses and being approved by the relevant travel boards. However it is believed that the Hyperloop will be used at first to transport cargo before moving onto people transportation.

Hyperloop also showed off a prototype pod design:

 

Hyperloop have said that it’s design is safer than passenger jets, has lower build and maintenance costs than high speed trains and it’s energy usage is incredibly low, equivalent to that of a person on a bicycle.

Pornhub supporting interactive toys!

Pornhub have stepped up their game and have announced compatibility with interactive sex toys like the Kiiroo Onyx and Fleshlight Launch. Certain “smart” videos will allow what you see on screen be re-created via the sex toy – and no this isn’t a smart advertising ploy that PornHub sometimes do.

After bringing VR content to the masses, Pornhub feel that interactivity is the next step in porn. Corey Price, VP, Pornhub:

“We expect this to be extremely popular amongst our fans…..considering the popularity of our VR category, which we launched to immense success last year and currently receives one million plus views each day, it’s quite apparent that fans are constantly looking to immerse themselves in the content they are watching. They want to feel as though they are actually there, engaging with the actors as though it were real-life. Our interactive category goes a long way towards providing them with a complete virtual experience…..we want to democratize interactive technology/content, making it readily available for everyone to use and enjoy,”
