Those RAM dimms look quite good. Nice choice of colours! No white one though. Can they not make a 2 x 16GB DDR3 kit in white? Awesome for mITX work stations.... such as mine 
Whatsapp to start showing a blue checkmark for read messages
Everyone knows Whatsapp, and if you don't either everyone around you uses an iPhone and their messaging service, or you've been living under a rock. Whatsapp is a free instant messaging service that lets you text your friends free of charge and even lets you add images, videos and voice recordings, or share your location or a contact.
A few months ago, Whatsapp was aquired by Facebook for $19 Billion US dollars:

Yesterday, Whatsapp announced an OTA (Over The Air) update. This means that you don't have to manually install anything, but the app would update itself. Since then, users can now see if a contact has read the message that they have sent.
The checkmark system is staying:
✓ - Sent
✓✓ - Received by contact
But now they are adding a new colour to the double checkmark when the other contact has checked the conversation:
✓✓ - Read by recipient
Many users have already stated not to be happy with this update, as they tend to read a message, but finish whatever it is that they are doing at that moment before they take the time to reply. They expect the contact on the other end to then think that they might be ignoring them, or need to think long and hard about answering a sensitive question.
Personally, I agree. My mum is one of these people that has a panic attack when you don't text back instantly (even though she turned the 'last seen' thing off for herself). Do you guys use Whatsapp? What do you think?
The update is available as of now on the Android and iOS versions of Whatsapp. There's not word about Windows phone so far.
