'Pokemon Go' release date in India: Launch in Singapore, China, Malaysia likely in August

'Pokemon Go' release date in India: Launch in Singapore, China, Malaysia likely in August

Gamers in as many as 37 countries have been having fun with latest international sensation "Pokemon Go" for weeks now, but people in most Asian countries, including India, China, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Philippines are still waiting for its release. Japan and Hong Kong are the only places in Asia that have received the game.

"Pokemon Go," developed by Nintendo and Niantic, was first released on July 7. The augmented reality (AR) mobile game has beaten other popular games like Color Switch, Slither.io, Candy Crush Jelly Saga, Agar.io, and Piano Tiles 2 in terms of download. Mobile data intelligence firm Sensor Tower has claimed in a report that a total of 75 million downloads were recorded on Android and Android platforms in just 19 days into its release. Unlike other games, "Pokemon Go" requires players to catch virtual characters in real life environment.

It was reported that "Pokemon Go" would be released on July 22 in a few Asian countries but it didn't happen. Now, reports are doing the rounds that it will be launched in several Asian countries, including India, Singapore, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Philippines in August. It sounds realistic as the game has been already released in Japan and Hong Kong.

India has reportedly been added to the server list, giving a clear hint that the makers of the game are preparing to release it in the country. No deadline has been set for the launch of the game in India, but it could come as early as the first half of August.

Surprisingly, "Pokemon Go" may never be released in South Korea, though it is one of the world's largest gaming markets, owing to a disagreement with use of Google's map data. The game requires real-time geospatial technologies and Google's map data to play but South Korean government restricts uncensored map data from overseas. The search giant has refused to use censored map data, so it is uncertain if the game will come to the country.

There was also speculation doing the rounds that China was skeptical about the game, as it believed the U.S. and Japan could use "Pokemon Go" to spy on its military bases and other sensitive facilities, But this rumour has been cleared as the game has come to Hong Kong and it appears like gamers in China will not have to wait for too long.

What is like to be an Indian Muslim?

This Guy’s Reply To The Question “What Is It Like To Be An Indian Muslim?” On Quora Is A Must Read

April 19, 2016

Nowadays in India, word “intolerance” is doing rounds and keeping it as a base many writers, scientists, historians, filmmakers are returning the awards given to them by the government of India. This process of returning the awards started after the Dadri murder case where a Muslim man was murdered by a mob as they doubted him of killing a cow and eating its meat.

Since then, a lot of learned persons are feeling that there is “religious intolerance” growing in the country and the Muslims, which are minority in the country are being suppressed by the majority, Hindus.

Shah Rukh Khan also started a controversy when he said that there is “Extreme Intolerance” in the country and he will also return his award if he is asked to.

Well, till now we were listening to the intelligentsia and the celebrities, most of them are not even Muslims so let us now listen to a common Muslim man and learn:

“What is like to be an Indian Muslim?”

Here’s An Amazing Answer:

“Hi, I’m an Indian & Muslim. My country is governed by the political party – BJP which is known to follow Hindu ideologies to the core.

Your question is indeed thought provoking. Let me give you an insight:

We just celebrated the festival of Eid. Like any other Muslim, I went to Mosque to pray. For a festival as celebrated as Eid, people turn up to pray in thousands and the Mosque that I attended had 3-floors offering 2-rounds of prayer so that everyone could get a chance.

The Government of India had deputed around 10 Delhi Police personnel up to the ranks of Sub Inspectors for our protection. It isn’t that we live in a very violent atmosphere. India is a very peaceful place to live. The Mosque I went too, was just one of the dozen others in the same locality & doesn’t hold a historical significance or was built by Mughals.

So, the gist is, the Government that is mostly offended and abused to be anti Muslim & with a hardcore Hindu ideology, made provisions so that we could pray peacefully, which is indeed rare to find even in countries with a Muslim majority and an Islamic government.

My colleague, who’s not a Muslim offered me an apple during the month of Ramzan (the month of fasting for Muslims) at 7 in the evening and said, “Kha le,toone subah se kuch nahi khaya.” (“Have this apple, you haven’t had anything since morning “). After I told him I still have half an hour to go, he kept it on my table. Only after I assured that I’ll have a full meal, he had it for himself.

Yes, there are issues and it’s pretty much expected in a country like India where we have a mix of almost every religion on the planet. But, trust me, a Muslim (rather, sane Muslim) will never revolt against this nation. I have never felt mis-positioned in this country.

Jai Hind!”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  SOURCE : QUORA

Use Facebook Messenger to send and receive money

April 12 2015 , By Himanshu Mewara

It's a little-known fact that Facebook's chat app can also make like PayPal. Here's how to set it up.

Remember when Facebook Messenger broke out of Facebook proper? A lot of users, including yours truly, were seriously irked. Why did we have to switch to entire different app just to chat with a Facebook friend?

Turns out Facebook had bigger plans for Messenger, including voice calls, chat bots,chess games and -- who knew? -- mobile payments.

It's true: You can use the Facebook Messenger app to send and receive money, PayPal-style.

Well, not quite -- Messenger payments require a debit card on both ends of the transaction. But there's no cost to use the service, which offers PIN-based protection and "industry-leading security," according to Facebook. Here's how to get started:

Add a debit card to Facebook Messenger so you can send and receive money.Screenshot by Rick Broida/BTR

Step one: Add your debit card. In the Messenger app for Android, tap the Profile icon, then scroll down and tap Payments. In the iOS app, tap Settings, then Payments. Tap Add New Debit Card and complete that process.

Step two: Open a chat with the person you want to send money to or from whom you want to request money. Tap the little "more" icon in the toolbar; it's the one with three dots in a rectangular box.

Step three: Tap Payments, then Next to bypass the info screen. By default, you'll be in the Pay screen; enter an amount you want to pay that person and a note indicating what the payment is for. Then tap Pay and you're done!

Step four: If you want to request money instead, tap Request at the top of the screen, enter the amount and reason, then tap the Request button to complete the process.

With either action, the transaction will appear as embedded item right inline with your existing chat. From there the recipient can either accept or deny just by tapping.

And that's it! Assuming you and the people you know use debit cards, this is an awfully easy way to perform electronic transactions on the go. Awfully free, too.
