Apple pays tribute to Muhammad Ali on its website

Apple.com joins in paying tribute to the famous boxer Muhammad Ali, who passed away on Friday at the age of 74. His image, which Apple has used before for its “Think Different” campaign ad, is accompanied by the quote “The man who has no imagination has no wings.” The splash image doesn’t link to any other content on the site. The tribute was put up a couple of days late but it’s still up at the moment.

Norway mulls over banning sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2025

Norway might be getting aggressive in getting rid of gas-powered vehicles on its roads. A local business newspaper Dagens Næringsliv reports that the Scandinavian country is considering banning the sale of gasoline and diesel cars by the year 2025. Norway is considered one of the more progressive nations when it comes to the use of electric cars and the reduction of fuel-based vehicles. Around 24 percent of vehicles sold in the country are already electric. This plan, while far from being set in stone, is being discussed by the four main political parties in the country and they seem keen on making this part of Norway’s national energy plan. This push towards electric is, of course, supported by Tesla CEO Elon Musk who tweeted the photo of the newspaper’s front page with this main headline.

Facebook pushing mobile web users to download Messenger app

Facebook pushing mobile web users to download Messenger app

Facebook has done it once before and it seems they’re doing it again. Some users of the mobile web version of Facebook are having a hard time accessing their instant messages on the mobile browser. According to Android Authority, these users have been getting a “Your conversations are moving to Messenger” and while it seems like just a friendly reminder, what that almost does is redirect you to the Google Play download page of Messenger. You can keep pressing back and try to get to your messages but it’s clear Facebook will keep nagging you to download the app.

If you don’t like the path of least resistance and keep wondering why Facebook is doing this, well the simple reason is Facebook has been putting in a lot of work into Messenger and they want you to use it. Plus, there have been rumours that ads are heading that way, too. Of course, you can hold out for as long as you can… or at least until you still have the option to.
