The Impact of Larry Hoover on Chicago

12 The Impact of Larry Hoover on Chicago Vlad TV

G Count sat down with VladTV and discussed gang life in Chicago, saying that gangs in Chicago began as groups made to uplift the neighborhood and defend themselves against white people who would terrorize black communities, with police officers never coming to their defense. When it comes to the impact of Chicago street legend Larry Hoover, G Count says he brought structure to the black communities when cops weren't doing their jobs.

Apple Pay May Launch This Week

17 Apple Pay May Launch This Week Complex

According to a report from 9to5Mac, Apple stores across the country have begun employee prep programs to educate them on Apple Pay, which means that the launch of the new mobile payment solution is right around the corner. Employees are required to complete the training in the next couple of days, and a Walgreens memo that circulated to managers suggested that they be ready to accept Apple Pay as soon as October 18 (Saturday). For their part, Apple has a media event scheduled for Thursday, where they’re expected to launch the new iPads; it’s possible they could also use this event to formally announce the start date for Apple Pay, or at the very least lay out a more concrete timeline.

Skype Qik: new Snapchat-like app

26 Skype Qik: new Snapchat-like app Daily Dot

Today Skype launched Qik (pronounced “quick), an app that’s essentially Skype’s version of the ephemeral messaging system made popular by Snapchat. The release comes as the number of Skype’s mobile users increase each month, according to David Chastney, principal program manager lead at Skype. “We felt we needed a new experience… something that was lightweight,” Chastney said. “But something that would have the intimacy and the richness of video communications which is really what our heritage is, and what Skype is best known for.” The app deviates from Skype’s traditional model of video calling and instead caters to video messaging. It pulls in contacts from your phone instead of asking for your Skype login information. The app’s home screen features a red record button and swiping it downward initiates the camera, which can alternate between the front- and back-facing at any time during the recording. Videos are square instead of rectangular and can be up to 42 seconds long. Qik only stores the eight most recent videos (and you can make group threads or single calls). When a user has nothing more to respond with than a stamp of approval or proof of receipt, the app allows for up to 12 pre-recorded reaction videos to be saved. While Qik is positioned as an ephemeral messaging app, it actually stores videos for up to two weeks before disappearing. However, if you want to delete a video, you may do so, and that video will also be deleted from everyone else’s phone. But VentureBeat explains that that means deleting an entire thread of videos, not just one, in order to maintain the integrity of the conversation. Qik enters a saturated market of messaging apps that already include basic texting, Snapchat, and direct messaging options on pretty much every social network out there. What makes it different is its ability to provide an easy way for people to have a video-based conversation. Whereas Skype traditionally relies on a pre-planned virtual rendez-vous, Qik aims to market itself as a kind of messaging system that allows people to have video conversations without having to commit to a time. Qik is now available for Apple and Android devices. While the Skype has already come up with ways to enhance the product in the coming months, they plan on using customer feedback to focus on specific areas to improve first.
