Nokia Store Not to Allow New Symbian and Meego App from 1st Jan 2014

Time has finally come for Symbian. Nokia has recently sent a mail to all app developers about new development on Symbian and Meego. In the mail, its written that after 1st Jan, 2014, Nokia Store will not allow any new Symbian and/or Meego application or updates to existing application.

Users will still be able to download the applications but no new application will see the Nokia Store after 1st Jan, 2014. You may see some development from publishers and they may provide direct links of apps from their websites. Nokia has finally put a brake on Symbian. This is very disappointing news for millions of Symbian users. Heres the email-

Dear Nokia Developer,

With the growing business opportunities available on the Asha and Windows Phone platforms, we have been reviewing our developer content programs to see how we can maximize our support to you, our developers. As a result of this review, we have decided to focus our support and investment in new content toward Asha and Windows Phone. Over the next few months we will be transitioning our active developer support away from Symbian and MeeGo.

If you have Symbian and MeeGo content in the Nokia Store, it will continue to be available for download to customers, and you will continue to receive download and revenue reports as well as payouts for downloaded content. However, starting January 1, 2014, you will no longer be able to publish any new content or update existing content for Symbian and MeeGo.

We are very excited about the opportunities available with Asha and Windows Phone, and hope that you will bring your talents to these platforms. We believe that these changes will help improve our ability to support you as you develop fantastic apps for your customers.

It is clear from mail that Nokia is now focusing on Asha and Windows Phone platform. Symbian and Meego is of least to no importance.

How to Keep Strangers From Emailing You Via Google

We are not sure how many times you have wanted to email someone but didn’t have their email address. We also don’t know if that person you wanted to email was on Google+, and you knew that but still didn’t have their email address. So to fix that problem, Google has updated Gmail, adding a couple features to both mobile and PC versions. This may be old news to you but one of which, is the ability to send emails from your Gmail, to anyone in your G+ circles. The thing is, this means anyone can just add you to their circles, and then send you an email, without having to know your email address. Well there’s a fix for that, if you want it.

The added feature seems to be a great one, unless you are the type who doesn’t like to have complete strangers coming to you for whatever reason and fill your inbox. If that doesn’t bother you, than it works great so you won’t have to ask someone for their email address and wait for a response, instead you can just email them and wait for a response. that the feature would receive mixed feelings from users of both Gmail or G+ or both, Google gave options, just another one of the many reasons we love Google.

If you don’t want to use this feature or want to customize it to an extent, just go into your Gmail account, get into your settings menu and stay in the “General” tab. Look through the options and you will find there is a new section called “Email via Google+”. That’s where you will find that you can select exactly who can email you using your G+ account.

The options vary as you might be used to if you have messed with your G+ settings, or even put a G+ account together. The available selections are: No One, Circles, Extended Circles, or Anyone on Google+. So see people who may have been worried about their fragile Gmail inbox, there is hope for you yet. We have already asked what you think about this new feature, but with the newly discovered settings option, has your feelings changed? Or do you still feel the same?
