ARTISTIC CARDBOARD SCULPTURES

A LITTLE OLD BRAINY LADY

> A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two plastic garbage bags behind her.

> One of the bags rips, and every once in a while a $20 bill falls out onto the sidewalk.

> Noticing this, a policeman stops her, and says, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of your bag."

> "Oh, really? Darn!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back, and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me."

> "Well, now, not so fast," says the cop. "How did you get all that money? "You didn't steal it, did you?"

> "Oh, no", said the little old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next to the football stadium parking lot.

> On game days, a lot of tailgate fans come and pee through a hole in the fence and onto my flower garden.

> So, I stand behind the fence with my hedge clippers & each time some guy sticks his "thingie" through the fence, I grab it and say, '$20 or off it comes'

> "Well, that seems only fair" laughs the cop. "OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"

> "Well, you know, not everybody pays"

Apple Officially Reveals The iPhone 5: LTE, 4-Inch Retina Display, New A6 Chip, Lighter Than iPhone 4S

And just like that, months and months of breathless speculation have finally come to an end. Apple’s Phil Schiller has just officially announced the new iPhone 5 at the company’s massive press event here in San Francisco, less than a year since its predecessor was unveiled.

Some of the news won’t come as much of a shock considering the sheer volume of rumors and leaks lately (even Apple let some details slip earlier today) — I’m going to resist the temptation to pontificate on every new feature as it’s revealed (for now, anyway), so let’s get right down to it.

THE IPHONE 5

• We can finally put the debate to rest — Apple’s newest mobile juggernaut is called the iPhone 5 (despite actually being the sixth iPhone to hit the market). It’s 20% lighter than the iPhone 4S, 18% thinner, and crafted out of (what else?) glass and aluminum.
• Pre-orders for the iPhone 5 will begin on Friday, September 14, and the device will ship to lucky consumers starting on September 21. As usual, the device will be available in 16, 32, and 64GB models, which will cost $199, $299, and $399 respectively with a two-year contract from AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint.
• The long-rumored (and handsome) two-toned design is indeed legitimate, as is the new iPhone’s larger 4-inch Retina Display. And yes, that 16:9 display runs at 1136 x 640 with five rows of icons. According to Schiller, it’s “the most accurate display in the industry” because the touch sensors are embedded in the display as well.
• As expected, Apple has also unveiled a brand new chipset for the iPhone 5: the A6, which Schiller says is a full two times faster than the A5 chip in the iPhone 4S
• The iPhone 4S’s battery life wasn’t anything to write home about, but the iPhone 5 seems equipped to do much better — 8 hours of 3G talk time, as well as 8 hours of 3G and LTE web browsing to be precise.
• The iPhone’s audio system has been bolstered with a smaller (but improved speaker). There are also now three microphones in the mix: one on the front, one on the back, and another on the bottom.
• That oft-rumored miniature Dock Connector is real: it’s all-digital, has eight pins and it’s called “Lightning.” Yes, there’s an adapter for it, but no word yet on exactly what it will cost you.

CONNECTIVITY

• It’s hardly a surprise at this point, but the iPhone 5 packs support for Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T’s LTE networks here in the States. What’s really impressive is that combined that LTE support with 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi onto a single “ultra fast” chip.
• Despite what a handful of leaks pointed to in the weeks leading up to the event, there’s been no mention of an integrated NFC chip yet.

CAMERA

• Smartphone cameras are really starting to give their point-and-shoot brethren a run for their money (think Nokia’s PureView and HTC’s ImageSense tech), but instead of running up the megapixel count, Apple has stuck with an 8-megapixel camera. That said, the backside-illuminated sensor is smaller, and features much better low-light performance (finally!).
• App developers may be bummed to know that the camera now also has a built-in panorama mode. The revamped camera also supports 1080p video capture, and users can now snap photos while recording video at the same time. I wonder how HTC feels about that.

What does Flame Virus mean ?

Flame is a powerful virus discovered by Russian security organization Kaspersky Labs in May 2012. It is suspected that Flame is aimed at the government systems of nations in the Middle East, especially Iran. This deadly virus is reported to have a code base at least 20 times larger than that of Stuxnet, which was a very dangerous virus that targeted Iran's uranium enrichment facilities. Flame is believed to be exclusively designed to steal top secret information. 

Flame has the ability: to collect data files, switch on PC microphones to capture conversations, remotely modify the settings on computers, record instant messaging conversations and grab screen shots

Techopedia explains Flame Virus


According to the research from Kaspersky, the majority of infected systems are in Iran, followed by Palestinian, Israel, Syria and Sudan. Researchers suspect that the Flame virus belongs to the same family of the notorious and malicious Stuxnet program and its successor, Duqu. Kaspersky Labs considers the introduction of the Flame virus another phase in cyberwarfare. 

Per the technical analysis of Crysys Lab, a unit investigating viruses at Budapest University, the Flame virus has been created by a nation state or government with significant funding behind its design.

Crysys Lab authorities claim that the Flame virus is carefully engineered to be highly potent and secretly gather information from large networks of infected machines. The Flame virus tackles all important opportunities to collect information, such as the screen, keyboard, Wi-Fi, microphone, network, storage devices, system processes, Bluetooth and USBs.

Investigators illustrate unparalleled software layers, which are intended to unnoticeably permit the Flame virus to break into computer networks. The 20 MB file infects Microsoft Windows computers and includes five encryption algorithms and unique data storage models. 

At the time the virus was discovered, Crysys Lab claimed that a link between Flame, Stuxnet and Duqu has not yet been proven. Although they share several common elements, Flame bears only minor similarity to the other viruses. For example, the Flame virus does not automatically self-propagate, but it can do so if enabled by its hidden controllers

Snaps i love a lot.

Change your underwear often !!!

                        CHANGE

There's an old sea story about a ship's Captainwho inspected his sailors, and afterward told
the first  mate that his men smelled bad.
The Captain suggested perhaps it would
help if the sailors would change underwear
occasionally.
The  first mate responded, "Aye, aye  sir,
I'll see  to it immediately!"
The first mate went straight to the sailorsberth deck and announced, "The Captain
thinks you guys smell bad and wants you
to change your underwear."
He continued,"Pittman, you change with Jones,
McCarthy, you change with Witkowski,
and
*

*

*

*

*
Brown, you change with Schultz."

THE MORAL OF THE STORY:Someone may come along and promise
"Change",
but don't count on things smelling any better.

Nice snaps frm germany i think.
