Facebook - Making Billions But Will It Keep It?

A high school drop-out and social networking site Facebook’s creator Mark Zuckerberg, who believes in deed more than faith at the age of 24 is the youngest self-made billionaire-says Forbes magazine. He was just in internet but now he’s on news, on TV, on radios, he’s everywhere; he’s the hottest news in town. Everybody’s talking about him and many high school students may even be thinking of dropping out from their college and start doing something on their own. But guys believe me it’s not that easy as it sounds. You may think that if Mark can do, then why not we? Well, if everybody starts thinking like that then we’d have billionaires all over the world, don’t we? Again, I don’t want to discourage anyone who’s trying to do something/some project on their own but don’t drop out of your college. You may end up regretting your whole life.

Well, I think it was a fluke that Facebook made billions. Mark may not agree with me; he might believe that it’s his hard work that paid off well but there is a little contribution from Mr. Gates too. I mean after all it is Gates who bought the 1.6 percent of Facebook’s stake for whooping $US240 million. If Mr. Gate would consider my blog or my domain StuffsForAll.com for some reason too and then pay a million dollar for it, then even I and my blog will be in hype for a time being. Then I’d be an instant millionaire too.

Man, I still can’t believe there are billions of psychos who are online all day long just to change their status and upload their pics and comment on other’s pics, play games, tell each other their like and dislikes, bla bla bla and it’s growing at between 3 and 3.5 per cent a week. Enough of all the criticism, I hope Mark doesn’t read this post else he might ban my account from Facebook. Hehe. One more thing, I also heard Mark stole the idea of Facebook from some of his college mates.

There have been many questions about will Mark and his fortune. Will he keep it for long? Will he die a billionaire? Or this paper billionaire is here to stay for just few years and will be trashed back to ground will the decreasing economy and stock price collapse. In any case he’d still have a little money to spend rest of his life like a Hollywood star. We’ll have to wait and watch till then I’ll change my Facebook status and right now to “Just wrote a post - Facebook-Making Billions But Will It Keep It?”

Reimage - Repair PCs In Minutes

Is your computer slow like hell? Does it hang too much and you need to restart often? Does it go out of control sometimes? Yup, that’s what I was going through too few months back. I really was missing my PC when it was new. When new it was lightning fast but it was like so for just few months and then terrible things started to happen.

Well, there are number of reasons that lead to such kind of crisis namely viral attack, spywares, malwares, system files missing, driver missing, inappropriate registry setting, and many other things. I did installed tried different anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malwares, firewall, registry cleaner softwares but nothing seemed to get my PC to even the closest form it was when it was new. It was really disappointing. Then a friend of mine suggested me to try out “Reimage”. I said why not? If it works then it’d be cool, if id doesn’t then my search will still continue. So, I give a shot at “Reimage” and the result was just amazing. My PC was as good as a new one. I was just like magic. There was no data loss at all, I didn’t need to do anything and it was repaired in no time; less time than that needed to scan your drive with anti-virus software.

Those who’re having any kind of problem with their PCs, Reimage might be what they need to try. It is one of the fastest growing and the most preferred online services existing today. Reimage is and online tool that is designed to automate the repair of even severely damaged Windows installs. It is known to download an ActiveX control on your windows PC that would scan your entire system (that should take about 10 to 50 mins) looking for something missing or something that shouldn’t be there (virus, spywares, malwares). And then once found it either repairs it or removes it or replaces it with the actual component that should have been there. They have a humongous web library of application, drivers, system objects, etc. from where they compare your PC’s files and if corrupted replace it with the healthy ones.

I guess this is more effective than those antivirus and anti-spywares softwares that cost you a fortune and still don’t give out the desired result. It has been tested in more than about 6000 PCs affected with virus, malwares and corruptions and the success rate is 99%. The price of Reimage Home Edition is $65 for a single computer, $79 for 3 computers, $139 for 10 computers and $149/month for unilimted repairs and if your computer isn't fixed you can request for a refund and you'll be refunded within a week from your request.

Is Facebook Taking Over Our Lives?

Guess what is the first thing I do after I wake up? It not that surprising thing but I log into my Facebook account and change my status. I write something that comes to my mind first and then publish it. I know it’s just a waste of time to be happy at when someone comments on your status or post but that’s what millions of people are doing these days.

Facebook and other similar social networking sites are taking over out lives. We don’t spend that much time in our office as we spend the time on Facebook. Status, Daily horoscope, Quiz, Tagging pictures, uploading funny videos and then commenting and re-commenting have become like a part of our daily lives. Ask who else but me. If I don’t check my Facebook in interval of certain period of time, I feel something missing and I feel restless. I am not punctual at doing my office work or getting to my college but I am punctual at doing work in Farmville and CafĂ© world. I am sure millions of people are too. I know it’s crazy but it’s somehow addictive. I rarely go out these days with friends because I have less time and lots of social games to play. Still I don’t miss a thing what is happening around me and my friends as Facebook keeps me informed about everything. So, the question is; Is Facebook taking over our lives? Yes, I will say but in a good way. There are negative aspects but every coin has two sides, doesn’t it?

I chose Business. Was it a mistake?

The title seems a little unclear and if you are wondering what am I talking about then read the rest of the story. I am very much into online gaming stuffs; small miniclip games, big games, social networking games I play whatever games I find online. I don’t play pc games that much but I am a very big fan of online games. Lately, I started playing Travian a browser based games. It’s been like few weeks only. Actually, I knew about this game long before; lots of ads were seen in the web and I knew it was something like “Age of the Empires” or “Rise of the Nation” type of game. But at that time I was busy playing some other games.

Anyways, a friend of mine asked to me join this game saying it’s a very cool game; you should play it. I said what the hell; let’s join and give it a shot. The game was very boring for a week but then it began to pick up its rythem and now I’m beginning to enjoy it. It doesn’t take much of your time (unlike Mafia War which too I play daily) may be ‘coz I’m just a beginner but still it’s starting to like it.

When I started I was following the tutorial (the soldier like person in the right who used to guide in the first) and then he asked me the choose something like be “business man” or “military man”. I chose to be into business but now that other army are attacking me there is nothing I can do in Travian. I have levelled up my resources and buildings quite well but the players who were the starters in this game and pro at it are raiding my village, stealing my resources and I stand helpless. I talked to him and he even threatened me to destroy my buildings (which I don’t know if he can do or not). Now my question is can I do anything about this? I mean the first person who joined this game (in my server server3) is going to be like king or what? He must have enough resources and troops and he can easily bully us the new commers, steal our resourced and destroy our buildings. There is a starting protection shield for 7 days but then in 7 days how much can you grow. I can’t even seem to produce any troops from my barracks as I am being continuously attacked by some tough guy and he’s stealing all my resourced. Huff !!! He’s really iritating me. Help !!!!

Http Torrents

I am sure everybody use torrent. For those who don’t know what torrent is; simply it’s the most popular way of downloading big sized files, even movies and games. All those who use torrent, they know that they need to install a BitTorrent client applications to download thru torrent. And they also have to go thru different hassles like firewall problem, seeder leaving you, etc.

Well I just stumbeled into a site HttpTorrents.com which actually is an online torrent application that doesn’t require installation on your system at all. Wow yeah? I thought so too. It turns the torrent file that you need into an easy downloadable http-link and you get:

  • Guaranteed fast speed
  • Guaranteed 100% download

And you don’t have to worry about:

  • Uploading
  • Blocking
  • Ratings
  • Waiting

A slight problem though. I tried using it many time; the first or which is entering the torrent hash into the search field but I don't seem to get any result. It seems there are not much files or options there to download. The concept is pretty unique but not sure if it's going to work. Also you have to pay the sum of $9.90 for the single month. Only then you'll get a premium account. I am not still sure how to use it and whether we can pause the download and resume it later (I am sure we can as it's a torrent application even though it's online). Still if it were free, then it would have been better. hehe

Rumours of Facebook Ending on March 15th

I am a big time user and a fan of Facebook, a social networking site that has changed the way we use internet and why we use internet. Mark Zukerber, the founder of Facebook has been named the "The Person Of The Year 2010" by The Times magazine. Some people have even started comparing Facebook with Google. Nobody had ever thought that there would be something bigger than Google in the internet business for next hundreds of years. But Facebook somehow has proved everybody wrong.

Due to this sudden growing popularity Facebook has become enemy of many. People and big organizations have become jealous of its success and are constanty trying to figure out ways to get rid of it. And lately, there was this new published in WeeklyWorldNews.com stating that Facebook with shut down in March 15th 2011. It stated that Mark is very much in pressure and depression and he wants his old life back and hence he's shutting down Facebook for good.You know ofcourse this is a silly hoax new. C'mon why would anyone just suddenly shut down and multi-billion dollar website? I mean he'd probably sell it to Microsoft, Yahoo or Google rather than that and make loads of money instead, won't he?

This rumor spread like a fire across the world. WeeklyWorldNews got lots of publicity, which might be what it wanted but recently Larry Yu, Facebook’s Director of Corporate Communications gave a statement that “the answer is no, so please help us put an end to this silliness.”

So, guys cheer up!! Facebook's not going anywhere. There's still a long way to go. Lets keep Facebooking.

Create A Website In Wordpress

WordPress is one of the most popular platforms for weblogs but how many of you know that you can even make a website in WordPress. Just few tweaks here and there and you can easily create a website using WordPress. I’ll sketch a rough outline of how to create a website using WordPress. I’m sure you can find other details as much as you like over the internet. But there are few of the basics steps you need to follow:

  1. First thing you need to do is register a domain name. You can start with a subdomain like xyz.wordpress.com but it’s not a good option I’d say.
  2. Buy a webhosting account. I’d suggest shared inexpensive web hosting but one with Fantastico script installed. That way it’d be just a one click job to install WordPress in your hosting.
  3. Install WordPress using Fantastico or if you want to do it manually then check out http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress.
  4. Login in to WordPress admin panal; for your website you need to visit http://yourdomainname/wp-admin and login with your username and password you set up in the beginning while installing WordPress.
  5. Just add one post to the homepage. For the menu bars, add pages and don’t forget to delete the comments from the theme editor to give it a website look.

And that’s it. Go and give it a shot.

Cool iPhone type lock for your UIQ mobile

I bought a Sony Ericsson W960i few weeks back. It’s a cool touch screen walkman phone with 8Gb hard-drive, 3.2 mp camera and all the feature I could have ever dreamt of. But one thing I wanted on it was a lock system just like in iPhones. You must have seen those sliding iPhone locks. They’re really fascinating. Well, my phone is touch too so I thought there has to be a way or some software that can install the iPhone like sliding lock feature to my mobile.

And thank God there was too. iLock (iPhone Lock) is a software for UIQ mobile written in Java that locks your phone in a similar way like the iPhone. But actually it’s not a lock at all. It just acts as a full screen java program, so the phone picks up all the letters and numbers you type as input in to the java program. Since the program only allows the user to slide across the screen to unlock, you get the illusion that it actually locked your phone.

So, if you too want this cool iPhone type lock for your UIQ mobile then you can get it for free here.
