Кeep your chats private with the best encrypted messaging apps for Android and iOS
We can wax poetic about the explosive growth of chat apps until the cows come home, but there’s no need to extol their virtues by now, as it is clearly visible how the various instant messaging clients have almost taken over our communication needs already.
The IM-craze started way back in ICQ and mIRC times on desktop computers, went through staples like the Yahoo or MSN messengers, then we got the Skype sweep, but now a new crop is taking over, overshadowing the old guard with access to more than a billion user in the palm of our hands in the case of WhatsApp, for instance.

Panda gives birth to the tiniest little gem and we're in awe
Cue Elton John’s “Circle of Life.”
On Sunday, Shu Qin, a seven-year-old panda gave birth to a tiny cub, and the birth was recorded on film.
While the baby was squirming around making squeaky noises after making its way into the world, we can see Shu Qin’s motherly instincts kick in. She can be seen trying to bond with her new bub, picking it up with her mouth to keep the still hairless newborn warm and shielding it from the keepers.
Shu Qin lives at the China Conservation and Research Centre for Giant Pandas in Ya,an, Sichuan.
According to media outlets, this latest bundle of joy was conceived through …
