President of the United States Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for this year.

War of the Social Networking sites - Guess the winner!!!

Here is a chart of comparison between the social media gaints Twitter, facebook and myspace and the number of unique visitors to these sites. Just saw this somewhere on the huge web and thought to share with you guys. Facebook is growing without any bounds and Myspace as usually has got its loyal visitors but what is interesting is the growth of twitter, that is now a days a bit on the down side, may be that's just a hiccup.

Yahoo logo makes a sound similar to "Yahooooooooo" !!!

Someone was telling me today about their new catch. Whenever you get a chance, go to the Yahoo search homepage and if you can see the exclamatory mark that ends the Yahoo logo. Try and locate the dot in the exclamatory mark and click exclusively on it. You will hear the dot screaming out "Yahooooooooo"!!! in a sweet lady voice.

Remember to pump up the volume and definitely it is not safe for work, remember this...

Google chrome Themes by Artists.... Cute Move....

Slowly but steadily Google Chrome is winning hearts of net users. It is now targeting the areas where Firefox has been dominant and trying to master the trade. One such move is made yesterday and it involves Google Chrome 3, which comes with themes that you can download and install. Now they have intro-ed a new section called Themes by Artists.


This new addon to Google Chrome is such a cool thing. Its more like the themes addon for Firefox but here it is something different as you don't need to go to some other section and download them and install them. Chrome does all this for you and you can enjoy freely all the themes available. When you just press the "Apply Theme" button below the themes, Chrome automatically downloads the theme and installs it for you.


If you are in a doubt about how to access the themes in your Chrome browser, first update your browser to chrome 3.0 and then go to the tools section on the top right corner and then go to the "options" field and then select "Personal stuff" tab and in there you will find the "Get Themes" button. Upon clicking this button you will be directed to the themes page where you can play around.

World's 5 smallest countries, amazing !!!

Do you know how big is your country, do you have any idea how high/low is your country ranked on the basis of area/land. Here is a list of 5 smallest countries in the world compiled by neatorama, and the list goes as below:


This is the list of smallest countries according to the size of the land that they cover and that is based on the information that is provided by the authorities. But how funny is it that a place as big as a football field is a country and another country which is as big as a park has become the home for 35,000 people. How crazy is that??? Just thought to share with you...

Find the painter in the picture!!!

Click on the above pic to view it in a bigger size. There is a painter in this pic and he might be the only one who has painted all of that canvas. If you can find the painter within 5 seconds, you are a genius and you definitely don't need any contact lens, but if you can't find the guy in the pic even after 10 seconds then just scroll down for the pic in which I have pointed out where the guy is.

This pic was taken by Sam Javanrouh, born in Tehran/Iran, moved to Canada in 1999 and living in Toronto since then. He is one of my favorite photographers and photosharers. I have learnt a lot about photography just by following his site's feed and the varied pictures that he has captured in his little camera. Below is the link to his site, hope you too follow him and appreciate his work.

What is Google Wave - Slight introduction, my way!!!

Yesterday every where in the news channels to newpapers to facebook and twitter, everyone was buzzing about the new Google Wave and its 100,000 invites but what exactly is Google wave. I will definitely not tell you what it is all about but can guide you to someone with more knowledge about it or someone who got hands-on this one.

Actually I was one of those early birds who asked Google for the new Google Wave access but haven't yet received any invite from them. It's ok I am not upset or something like that, by the way who cares for one............ Baaaaahhhhhhhhhhh I want an invite!!! BAAhhhh I want an invite, I am desperate, the world is gonna end....


Ok seriously in the words of Mashable, Google Wave is a real-time communication platform, which combines the aspects of e-mail, instant messaging, social networking, web chat, project management and wikis. Waves can be embedded on any blog or website. Just like a facebook application, developers can build their own apps within the waves.

Google Wave is an open source application which means it will be easily innovated and can be adopted by developers with less trouble. You don't need to upload a file or attach it, you can just drag and drop the files so that everyone else can access it. That's so easy.

Right now I don't have access to one account of Google Wave, hence can't divulge much information about it to you. But once I get access to it, I will give maximum information about it. Keep cool, you will get access pretty soon as well....

Can you eat a computer cookie??? NO...

When I started using the computer basically I never used the computer, I just used to open the Internet Explorer 6 and access my mail or some *&^%^&%$#^ websites., you know what I mean. Back then, when you don't want others to know what you have accessed through the IE, you just had one option to delete all the cookies and history from the browser. I just did that but was always worried what these cookies are???

Cookies are like a tag placed on your computer by the websites that you visit. It is more like a file that stores information about the site, the pages that you visited on the site and the information that you stored on the site like usernames, passwords and things like that. When you visit the same site again and if your cookies are still intact, then the website recognizes you and grants you access instantly.

These cookies fall into two types:: Temporary cookies and permanent cookies. Temporary cookies are cleared off as soon as you close the browser or a session but permanent cookies are stored permanently on your computer hard drive and even if you delete them will be recreated again as soon as you access the website.

You now have the option to allow or disallow cookies at will and you can play around with them. But having cookies disabled will greatly decrease your access speed on a website and just not that you have to re-enter any kind of information you gave in previously. Now you know what a Computer cookie is all about...

Tips to get the maximum out of your "Cell phone Camera"

I am one of those guys who is really lazy to buy a decent camera and still strive on the in-built camera of my cell-phone. And seriously I don't feel like I need a camera until it gets dark or when I am traveling. I use the 3 odd MegaPixel camera built into my LG incite cell phone most of the times for my photography.

The pictures of the mushrooms that I took are taken with the little camera at the back of my cell-phone. That means I rely a lot on my cell camera and definitely I am in a better position to advice about the do's and dont's when you are using a cell-phone camera for your photographic needs. Here are a few of them::

* Make sure that the object of interest is well-lit.
The light factor plays a big difference when you are photographing using a little lens like that of your camera phone. You need to make sure that the object that you want to capture is in a perfect position for you to capture the maximum amount of light. This is a must to avoid dull pics.

* Take multiple shots.
If you don't need to care about your phone memory that supports your photos, then my advice is to take as many photos as you can. Later on you can chose between the best and the better ones of the lot. That way you can save the best ones and boast of them later on.

* Clean your lens often.
This is one tip that most users find hard to follow just out of laziness but this is really good tip. Just make sure that you clean the lens once in a while, may not be daily. This will help you get some good photos without that blurry layers on top.

* Use the highest resolution available.
Before I knew about this tip I used to mostly rely on the resoultion of 640X480 or 1600X1200 for my photos, but when I came to know about the effect of resolution, I started experimenting and found out that taking the photos in the maximum available resolution helps you capture more detail and helps you later when you want to edit them out.

* Never use Digital Zoom
If you want to have your photos of good quality, my advice is never use the in-built digital zoom. Optical zoom is preferable if available but digital zoom does a lot of bad to your photos by decreasing the quality of photos.

* Try to stay still.
Right now and according to my knowledge, there are very less number of phones that support Image Stabilized cameras, which means you need to stay as still as possible to get the best pictures, otherwise you will end up with some blurry pics.

* Stay near the subject.
If possible try and stay near the subject of interest and try to take your pictures in more like a profile model than in panaromic way.


- These are a few of the tips that I came to know while I have been capturing pictures on my mobile phone. Thought to share with you. Will be back with more interesting articles. Till then stay cool and stay free...

Keep safe online or else you know who will be the ultimate loser. Stay safe guys, Love you all...

Firefox 4 theme - looks like glassy look is gonna rule...

Firefox 4 theme is out and its more like a glass bottle sticker rolled out for our viewing. There are lots of changes to the User Interface as well. Of course this is just a mock up which might be rolled out as early as Firefox 3.7 as well but this definitely is looking cool. There is a tools button on the top right corner and the home button and a gmail quick launch button are added to the tab bar which is now the top most bar in Firefox.

Several major additions and changes are being discussed to the UI for 4.0. Keep in mind these changes are farther out and therefore more in flux than ideas for 3.7.

• Merging the LocationBar and SearchBar
• Merging stop/refresh/go into one button
  
• Adding a Tab-on-Top Option
• Introduction of App Tabs
• Expanded Home Tab Functionality
• Hiding Bookmarks Bar
• Profile Stuff
• Removal of Status Bar

These are a few changes to list out. Head over to the mozilla site below for a clear crisp understanding of what you are gonna taste pretty soon and in the future from your dearest browser Mozilla Firefox 3.7 and 4.

How to Increase your laptop battery life??? The easy way...

I had this battery in my laptop and it was a 4-cell battery and it used to last a total of 2 hours while I was doing my regular stuff. Knowingly or Unknowingly, I did something good that made my laptop battery to give out that required extra life. It worked out for 3 years in a row and it still is going good with an estimated 1 and 1/2 hour of output. Here are some cool tips that might have helped me gain that extra life:::

* Let your laptop stay in a cooler place.

It's not like you work in a coal mine or as a steam engine driver but still don't let your laptop get heated up by keeping it in an hot area.

* Remove the battery when on power supply.

This is crucial if you want to increase the overall working life period of your laptop battery. Whenever you are on the external power supply, you definitely don't need the laptop battery to power up your work and hence you can just take out your battery and keep it in some warm place. This greatly extends the overall lifetime of your battery.

* When replacing batteries buy from OEM.

By OEM I mean, the original equipment manufacturer. Whenever you are buying new battery or replacing your older battery, please, please and please buy the stuff from the original sellers not from a douche store. Shell out those extra bucks for that extra life.

* A full discharge is always helpful.

Once in a while, discharging the entire battery is always helpful. It will let the battery know of its capability and it will definitely help in getting the battery back to its normal stage.

Thanko MP3 player - the player that fits into your ears...

This new Mp3 player from Thanko is more like a bluetooth hearing device but exactly it is an MP3 player that stores and plays songs for you. This is the newest in its kind and probably the smallest of the lot. Weighing .28 ounces, Thanko MP3 player is definitely the leanest player around and its widest part measures not more than 1 inch.

Thanko MP3 player has the support for MP3/WMA/WAV music and it comes in two sizes. The 2GB version will cost you $55 and the 4GB version costs you $75. This new tiny-miny player is equipped with a battery that will run for 4hrs nonstop before it dies out. It is the small size of the player that is going to appeal to its audience. Should wait and see how it is performing in the long run.
