The Web Feels The Impact of Michael Jackson's Death

By Jeremy Muncy - Sun, 06/28/2009 - 09:55 for WebPro News

Several prominent sites experience marked downtime

Who is the most famous person in the world? A simple question with thousands of possible answers.

Some might say the Pope while others might say President Obama. It's total speculation; an argument can be made for just about any well-known person.

Could "The King of Pop" have been considered the most famous person in the world? With global album sales somewhere between 700-750 million, a career that spanned nearly 50 years, two widely covered pedophilia charges and various charitable contributions... Michael Jackson, quite possibly, was the most famous person in the world.

A GOOD STORY - Son and the Dad

This is also a great story, I got it through an e mail. And all the credits goes to the author.

A man was polishing his new car; his 4 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched on the side of the car. In anger, the furious Man took his child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father, with painful eyes he asked 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless.

He went back to the car and kicked it many times. Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of the car he looked at the scratches, 

His son had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.

Next day that man committed suicide.

Remember, Anger and Love have no limits...


    Always remember.... .
    "Things are to be used and people are to be loved"

    But the problem in today's world is....
    "People are being USED & Things are being LOVED"

Give your 100%

Hey This is very true ................................................

A Small Story.
A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.

The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.

That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully

The Top 5 Ways Smart People Use Twitter

BY SHARON SARMIENTO · POSTED ON MARCH 20, 2007 for 901am.com

To be honest, my first impression of Twitter was that it was for folks who had way too much time on their hands who narcissistically wanted to broadcast every random thought that crossed their brains.

While this may be true in some instances, there are also some very smart, professional, forward thinking people whom I respect who are using Twitterintelligently.

17 Ways You Can Use Twitter: A Guide for Beginners, Marketers and Business Owners

Twitter is a micro blogging platform which allows you to publish short messages of less than 140 characters through different mediums like IM, cellphones and the web.

It has a social element as well, as it allows users to befriend and monitor each other’s messages or updates. So what you have here is a publishing tool that can be either public and private.

It is similar to an IRC channel although messages are displayed less rapidly. Some have called it a slower version of internet messengers.

How to Get Up and Start Taking Photos

Looking at beautiful photos is one thing, and learning how to make them is another. But if you're going to take some of your own, you need to get up, get your stuff packed and go outside. And if you're going to do this, you need to avoid some common attitudes and pitfalls which keep people indoors looking at photographs -- or, worse, talking about making photographs -- rather than taking them.

Opera Turns Your Computer Into a Server

By Chris Crum - Tue, 06/16/2009 - 09:02 to WbPro News

"But it's also a client."

Today Opera has released a product (aspromised), which it claims reinvents the web. That may seem like an exaggerated statement, but it's an interesting concept nonetheless.

The product is called Opera Unite, and it is available at labs.opera.com. What Opera Unite does, is basically turn your computer into both a client and a server. It eliminates the need for third-party servers.

"Today, we are opening the full potential of the Web for everyone," says Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner. "Technology moves in distinct cycles. PCs decentralized computing away from large mainframes. Opera Unite now decentralizes and democratizes the cloud. With server capability in the browser, Web developers can create Web applications with profound ease. Consumers have the flexibility to choose private and efficient ways of sharing information. We believe Opera Unite is one of our most significant innovations yet, because it changes forever the fundamental fabric of the Web."

The best Twitter Desktop App I have found so far - DestroyTwitter

Does anyone even go to the Twitter homepageanymore? It seems like more and more users are changing the origin of their tweets as Twitter desktop clients are becoming more mainstream.

There are literally dozens of desktop clients for Twitter, available for download...but which are the best?

For me, TweetDeck and DestroyTwitter are the best ones, from those two I like DestroyTwitter more than the other one.

One of the best things about DestroyTwitter is its minimal use of memory, compared to other AIR-based Twitter apps.

One of the better, if not the best, feature of DestroyTwitter is the "Rules" feature. With rules you can "exclude" certain users as well as certain keywords. Below is a snippet from DestroyTwitter about this feature...

Best Twitter tool I have found so far - Tweepular

Tweepular is used to manage followers, unfollowers, fans, and also it gives our popularity (rank) in the twitter network.

Facebook Moves Further Into Twitter Territory

By Chris Crum - Tue, 06/09/2009 - 06:02 for WebPro News

Lets Users Subscribe to Friends' Updates Via Text Message

Facebook is now offering its users the ability to receive their friends' status updates via text message on their phones. If you click on the "subscribe via SMS" link below your friends' profile pics, you get their latest updates this way.

Sound familiar? That's probably because you can do basically the same thing with Twitter. This is just the latest example of Facebook acknowleging (without coming right out and saying it) that they view Twitter as a major competitor. If this wasn't evident enough upon the last major redesign change, which switched to a Twitter-esque real-time status feed, it's even more clear now.

Facebook is certainly the dominant force in social networking currently, but there was a time when you might've said the same about MySpace. Twitter continues to grow rapidly (despite retention issues). It's not really showing any signs of slowing yet, and Facebook is well aware of this.

3D Stereograms

Stereogram is simply an image which has another image hidden inside (hidden one is a 3D one). when I was smaller i could never see the hidden image of Load Buddha in the stereogram I found in several places. But I got to know the method of looking at the picture and seeing the hidden image. I tried hard to get the results, i tried around 1 hour at the 1st time, but now its very easy to get the result in several seconds.

There is a special way of looking at the picture. I have a simple illustration of the method.

• You have to relax your eyes to get the result. you can do it by looking at an object far away from you, an object around 10 feets also will do the job. The theory is to make the sights of the eyes parellal to each other.
• Then keep the image infront of one eye and slowly move it towards both eyes, not loosing your distance focus.
• Allow the picture to come in to focus. (not that you should look at the picture)
• Repeat this until you succeed.
• Enjoy the 2D effect of the image.

This can also be done by keeping the image near your face and moving it far, keeping the distance focus.

Below I have given some stereograms to you to practice. Note that images with high contrast colours are easy to get the result. That's why I have placed some high contrast images 1st.

See this 1st image and try to get deep in to it. Focus your eyes to a distant object (or if you can give your eyes paellal sight at once, its will be a great help).

If you can see the hidden object you should see a heart and a goose infron of the heart.

Now try this. this is too easy.

you should see, 2 spirals like things rotated around each other.

There is a grasshopper hidden inside this image.

Try to find what is hidden inside this image.

This is somewhat difficult. If you can see, you should see a butterfly in the middle of the image.

Some Tips

• To practice keeping your eyes focused far away, hold the picture in front of one eye while the other eye holds the focus on distant objects in the room.
• The key is to keep your eyes relaxed. Relaxed eyes will come into position such that.
• You are not technically crossing your eyes to view the picture, but forcing them to view two different pictures, due to the spacing of the pattern in the stereogram.
• A small segment of the population does not have stereovision, and will not ever be able to view stereograms.
• It often takes several tries to get it (perhaps 30 minutes or more!), but once you see your first one, the others will come easier!
• If you get good enough, you don't even have to move the picture or your face, you can just cross your eyes correctly and it will appear.
• If you feel your eyes manually focusing, start over from the beginning.

Warning

Do not do this for a long peroid of time, your eyes will be tired quickly. When you reel dizzy, headaches, pain in your eyes, give some rest and proceed.

Make 3D videos your own

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Ever wanted to make a fun 3D video? This is how!

Things You'll Need

• Two Cameras (preferably the same model)
  
• 3D Glasses
  
• A Video Editor
  
• a lot of patience
  
• simple video editing software
  

Warnings

• The slightest angle difference in the cameras will completely ruin the whole shot. Make sure the lenses are level with one another.
  

Steps

1. Check the "Things You'll Need" Section. Get your two cameras, and make sure the lenses are 2-8 (three works best, but the greater the more 3D effect) inches apart. It helps to create a device that holds them both from the tripod screw spots on the bottom.
   
2. Film whatever you want in 3D with both cameras.
   
3. Upload both videos into your video editor.
   
4. Make one of the videos (let's say the left camera's video) have a red overlay. Make the right camera's video have a blue overlay. The result should be the same video, twice, in two colors, three inches apart.
   
5. Place both videos into your editor, on top of each other, so you can see them both at once. The result should be almost purple and you should have a somewhat "double-vision" look to it.
   
6. Export this video, and play it, while wearing those Red-Blue 3D glasses and it should work. If not, you should try experimenting with the settings.
   
7. If need be, switch the colors to darker or lighter shades. Maybe even try changing the distance of the lenses.
   
8. Make sure you can "Place both videos on top of each other" with whatever "simple" editing software you have
   

Tips

• You must make sure that your two videos are in exact sync with each other, otherwise you will get a poor result. Use a camera flash to sync videos.
  
• When editing these videos together, it also sometimes helps to remove the audio from one of the videos.
  
• While recording, the cameras must be perfectly aligned. Check if they are aligned with a level.
