BLACKBERRY SET TO LAUNCH BBM FOR ANDROID AND IOS MOBILE PLATFORMS

If you’re already a fan of BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), we’ve got some exciting news designed to make it easier for you to connect with your entire mobile social network.
BlackBerry plans to make BBM, our wildly popular mobile messaging service, available for the first time to iOS® and Android™ users this summer, (subject to approval by Google Play and the Apple App Store, as applicable). This means that, once available, you can
welcome your friends and family using these other mobile platforms to connect over BBM and share in the Team BlackBerry love.
As we’ve chronicled on our Inside BlackBerry blog for some time now, BBM set the standard for mobile instant messaging with fast and reliable service and an added layer of engagement with delivered and read statuses. You’ve shared with us your stories about how BBM has kept you connected when it mattered most to you. Upon release of the multi-platform BBM service, you can broaden that
real-time connection to friends and colleagues on other supported mobile platforms.
In the first version of multi-platform BBM, iOS and Android users are expected to be able to experience the following BBM features:

The immediacy of BBM chats
Multi-person chats
Voice note sharing
BlackBerry Groups, where BBM users are able to set up groups of up to 30 people and share calendar, photos, files and more

The team here at BlackBerry has definitely been working hard to bring the much-adored BBM experience to a wider group of mobile users. In a recent press release at BlackBerry Live 2013, Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice
President, Software Product Management and Ecosystem, at BlackBerry had this to say:
“For BlackBerry, messaging and collaboration are inseparable from the mobile experience, and the time is definitely right for BBM to become a multi-platform mobile service. BBM has always been one of the most
engaging services for BlackBerry customers, enabling them to easily connect while maintaining a valued level of personal privacy. We’re excited to offer iOS and Android users the possibility to join the BBM community.”

ANGELINA JOLIE UNDERGOES DOUBLE MASTECTOMY TO PREVENT BREAST CANCER

“On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.” Says Angelina

Angelina Jolie has gone public with her choice to undergo a preventative double mastectomy.
In Tuesday’s New York Times Op-Ed section, Jolie revealed the difficult medical decision she made after discovering she carried the BRCA1 gene. This leads to an increased risk in breast and ovarian cancer. Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, passed away at 56
after battling cancer for over a decade.
Jolie’s doctors estimated her breast cancer risk at 87% and ovarian cancer risk at 50%.
The double mastectomy has now reduced her risk to 5%. She privately began the surgeries in early February and has just finished in late April. Her choice to open up about the double mastectomy was to help shed a light on cancer prevention for other women around the world.

CHRIS BROWN UPSETS L.A NEIGHBOURS WITH PAINTING ON HIS WALL | SEE PHOTO

{Culled from Yahoo news}

Chris Brown has drawn criticism from his neighbors over the murals he had painted on a curbside wall at his home in the Hollywood Hills.
The Los Angeles Times reports that local residents are complaining that the images in the street art-style murals are too scary. “There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they’re literally frightened,” Hollywood Dell Civic Association president Patti Negri told the paper. “It’s like devils on the wall – big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we’re used to.”
L.A. city code officials responded to the neighbors’ complaints by citing Brown for unpermitted and excessive signage, with possible fines starting at $376. They ordered him to remove the painting within 30 days, after which the fines could rise. Chris Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, said that Brown
planned to fight the city over the murals. “They are trying to suspend the First Amendment,” he said. Geragos also accused Brown’s neighbors of harassing the singer. “I’m scared of neighborhood busybodies like this,” he said. “They’ve called animal control. They have sicced parking (enforcement) on him, and now they reached the heights of
ridiculousness here. Shame on them.”
