WhatsApp is delaying updating its privacy policy following mass confusion over what data it shares with its parent company, Facebook.

Last month, WhatsApp began notifying users of its updated terms of service and privacy policy, which people had to agree to in order to keep using the app after February 8.

One particular section of the policy stoked concern among users about what user data is collected and shared with Facebook, which has a lackluster track record around privacy and protecting people's data. The confusion surrounding the update has contributed to a mass of users moving to competing apps such as Signal.

Now WhatsApp's update won't roll out until May 15.

In fact the two had a very controversial partnership, as Mars leveraged Murrie out of his 20 percent stake in the business in 1949, years before M&Ms became the best-selling candy in the U.S., paying him only $1 million for a company share that would soon be worth billions.

Tenet directed by Christopher Nolan is a widely ambitious film which keeps viewers enthusiastic throughout the runtime.
The word "Tenet" was inspired by the Sator Square or Rotas Square is a word square containing a five-word Latin palindrome. It is a five-by-five square made up of five 5-letter words, thus consisting of 25 letters in total, all derived from eight Latin letters: five consonants (S, T, R, P, N) and three vowels (A, E, O).
In particular, this is a square two-dimensional palindrome, and admits four symmetries identity, two diagonal reflections, and 180-degree rotation.
As can be seen, the text may be read top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top, left-to-right, or right-to-left; and it may be rotated 180 degrees and still be read in all those ways.

According to estimations about 99.9% of all species are extinct. Scientists have no way of confirming how many species of animals have lived and are living because there just simply is too many. Even knowing what we know about how fossils are created and the extinction rate of current species, there is no way to be sure about how many species are extinct. However, using information gathered by paleontologists and the history of evolution, it’s been estimated that 99.9% of all species are extinct.

That’s not all of the species living here on the Planet today. It’s actually of all the species who have lived on Earth at all. Knowing that life has somehow survived through 5 mass extinctions, scientists hypothesized how many species there could have been based on what they know about those extinctions and what happened before them.

The PlayStation was released in Japan in December 1994 and made its American debut in September 1995; both releases attracted critical praise and impressive sales. Titles like final Fantasy 7, Tomb Raider and Gran Turismo were very common.

The original PlayStation resumed production until March 2005, when the new wave of 64-bit consoles, including Sony's own PlayStation 2 were eclipsed with a launch price same as PlayStation. The PS2 introduced the opportunity to play over the Internet, which coupled with the biggest line of games ever advertised for the console, led to its sales supremacy over its 64-bit competitors Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo GameCube.

However the next PlayStation console, PlayStation 3 with a launch price of $599 did not achieve the same initial popularity as the previous incarnations of the console, with continued rivalry from Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. The PS3 went on to sell 86.90 million units worldwide.

In 2013, Sony launched PlayStation 4 (PS4), a next gen console with a launch price of $399 intended to compete with the Xbox One. Critics and players welcomed the new platform, offering excellent graphics and a seamless online gaming experience. With the introduction of the PlayStation VR (PS VR) in October 2016, Sony joined the expanding virtual reality (VR) market.

Sony has re-imagined the core aspects of the system – including a streamlined configuration to a modern well-designed user interface to a creative controller and additional benefits for PS Plus owners – and the result is a console that we can't help but be pleased with.
There are issues with how few first-party games are released – and it would have been great to see support for previous versions of PlayStation titles, not just PS4 games – but PlayStation 5 already feels like a good purchase, and the PS5 experience will grow with maturity.

The PS5 caters to both pumped and ready-made next-gen players and tepid PS4 owners looking to dip their toes into the future of gaming-and for the latter it's a console that so effortlessly fills the divide between the previous generation and the next generation that you certainly won't ever need to fire up your PS4 again.

After a failed Nintendo venture to unleash the PlayStation as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System–CD in the early 1990s, Sony chose to sell its own console.
