Facebook Messenger may soon support money transfer in the near future

Facebook Messenger may soon allow money transfer between friends. According to leaked code discovered in a modified version of the Facebook Messenger on iOS, person-to-person payment interfaces and other elements are already integrated into the app.

iOS developer Andre Aude had discovered the code. He posted that the Messenger’s payment option would let users send money in a message similar to sharing a picture. The app would allow users to add a debit card in Messenger and as well use the in-app pin code for added security to make payments. Facebook has declined to comment on the feature though.

Google working on new mobile instant messaging app

Reports have spread the word that Google is working on a instant messaging service. The new service is supposed to compete with WhatsApp and other emerging chat apps like Hike, Line, Viber and WeChat. 

The new messaging app will be a standalone product, without the need to log in via Google. Despite its already present messaging app 'Hangouts', Google is again working on a different instant messaging app to give a tough competition to other instant messaging giants.

Google is using the Indian market as its testing ground. It's not too far when we all will be using another Google product in the form of Instant Messaging.

Taking screenshots in Windows PC

In this article I'll teach you how to take different types of screenshots in Windows PC (Win 7 & Win 8).

1. Using the PrintScreen button in the keyboard: 

It is abbreviated as PrtSc. On pressing this, Windows takes a screenshot of the entire Desktop region. After that, open MS Paint and click on paste. The screenshot will appear. Save it to a desired location with an appropriate name and you're done.

2. Using the Alt + Printscreen buttons:

On pressing Alt + PrtSc together, Windows takes a screenshot of only the active window out of all open windows. Then follow the same procedure as above.

For example: In the above picture, pressing Alt + PrtSc will take the screenshot of the front VLC Media Player window because it is currently the active window.

Shutdown a computer through the Run Menu

In this little article I will tell you how you can shutdown your PC with the help of Windows Run Menu which can be quickly launched by pressing Windows + R.

Though it is easier to turn off the system through the Start Menu, but if you want to schedule your shutdown, say after 5 minutes, then this article will be useful to you.

Open the Run Menu (Windows + R)

Type in the following command: shutdown -s -t 60

-s starts the process of shutdown

-t schedules the shutdown for a particular time interval

60 is the time interval in seconds. You can change it to anything. For example if you type 300 instead of 60 then your system will shutdown after 300 seconds i.e. 5 minutes. Its your call, you can give any possible time interval.

If you type shutdown -s only then the system will shutdown after a default time interval of 60 seconds.

-t is used for your convenience.

In case you have initiated the shutdown process but soon realize that you still have some thing left to do then you need not panic. You can always abort the process. To do so type in the following command: shutdown -a

-a aborts/stops the shutdown process.
