Once set up with an email service, users are able to pass messages back and forth consisting of different types of information, files, and applications. This presents a risk not only to your computer hardware but also to files that are stored on the hard drive. You should ensure that the email service provider you use for your business can scan all attached files in order to check for viruses. Check that your email is equipped with a spam filter. This will catch some of the most common junk mail that may pose a threat to your computer.</div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: #eeeeee; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: #eeeeee; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><h3 class="dynamic"> </h3><h3 class="dynamic">Downloading Attachments</h3>Computers are easily susceptible to virus threats through email even when you have a good anti-virus program in place. Help protect your business by being cautious of files that are sent through email to prevent possible infection. You should also avoid opening emails from unfamiliar senders, and never download a file from an email you don't recognize. There is as well the possibility of getting a file attachment that poses a threat from someone you know.<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">When possible, request that files are sent in recognizable formats. Most standard files sent by email are either in PDF or Word format. This is noticeable because the attachment will end in .pdf or .doc and docx in most cases. Executable files are very dangerous files that can cause immediate damage to your business computer system upon download. They contain viruses that may attach themselves to your business files and steal sensitive information.<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><h3 class="dynamic"> </h3><h3 class="dynamic">Protecting Your Business</h3><a href="http://www.brighthub.com/computing/enterprise-security/articles/98276.aspx" target="_blank">Securing your business</a> against threats from email attachments can be a simple process. The first step in securing your web-based email is to have your own virus scanner in addition to those supplied by email service providers. Your virus software should be updated regularly. Out-of-date programs do not catch new viruses and leave your business computers vulnerable. Computers should also have a spam blocker to help prevent any further chances at catching a virus. When certain files get through your spam blocker you can mark them as spam and have them redirected out of your inbox.<br />
Some email programs have a defaulted preview pane which opens email, as soon as it is received. By leaving the preview pane feature on, it is possible for malicious software to start downloading without users having to click on the file. Because of this, it's important to disable the preview pane option within your email program.<br />
By adhering to some simple steps this will help your business stay secure from threats due to malicious attachments. Ensure that employees understand and follow all guidelines related to email security. This will help prevent potential threats being passed through the network due to employees being unaware of the warning signs.<br />

Including a copy-and-paste function in a new smartphone operating system, for instance, might seem like a no-brainer, but Microsoft decided against doing just that for the launch build of Windows Phone 7. Whether that turns out to be the correct call isn't the point. What matters is that making sense of such decisions from an outside perspective is often a fool's errand. You simply don't have all the facts. Problem is, I'm finding it impossible to ignore a pattern of apparently antagonistic anti-customer decisions coming from Intel of late. The best example is Intel's experimentation with 'upgradeable' CPUs. I'm not talking about replacing an old CPU with a new one. I'm talking about the ability to unlock hidden features. Currently, this 'service' is limited to a select number of low-end Pentium dual-core processors based on Intel's Clarkdale processor die. Courtesy of a code acquired when purchasing a $50 upgrade card, the chips gain HyperThreading ability and an extra 1MB of cache memory. The details of how this works aren't terribly important, but involve BIOS support from certain system builders' motherboards. Moreover, it's not unusual to have hidden or locked features inside CPUs.There are good reasons for doing this in terms of market segmentation and production yields.</div></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>New approach</strong></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">However, Intel's approach is new in the sense that it's an unashamed moneymaking ruse. It's effectively gazumping the customer by saying, "Hey, you know that CPU you bought from us last month? Well, it turns out we didn't tell you about all its features. We'll happily unlock some extra performance for you, but only if you're willing to push another $50 our way. Deal?". Of course, AMD has unofficially dabbled in this area. Some of its multi-core processors have hidden cores that can be unlocked. The difference is that no money changes hands and no promises are made. You can buy a triple-core Phenom processor and have a crack at unlocking the fourth core. If it's a dud, you're out of luck and your PC won't boot, but you've still got a chip that works as advertised in triple-core mode. By contrast, there's something much more insidious about Intel flogging chips with the intention of later upselling hidden features. As an owner, I know that having paid once for the damned CPU, I shouldn't have to fork out again to have it turn on properly.</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>End to overclocking?</strong></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">On a similar note in terms of contempt for its customers, I was very disappointed to learn that the upcoming Sandy Bridge generation of Intel PC processors will perhaps spell the end of mainstream overclocking. Intel has tweaked the architecture toeffectively integrate the speed of every bus. Push the base clock up, and the USB, PCI-E, CPU uncore – you name it – all goes up. Reportedly, the effect of all this is to limit baseclock increases to a paltry two to three per cent. The real kicker here is that Intel realises there's a market for overclockable CPUs and will serve it with K Series chips. These offer unlocked CPU multipliers and therefore the ability to adjust coreclockspeed without any knock-on effects. Exactly how much Intel will charge for K Series chips isn't clear. But going by existing Westmere-based K Series models, they won't be cheap. Anyway, it seems clear that enthusiasts on a tight budget will no longer be able to buy a low-clocked version of Intel's most powerful desktop chips and clock the twangers off it. Frankly, I'm baffled that Intel thinks this is a good idea. If the number of such overclocking enthusiasts is small, it hardly seems worth cutting them out of the market. However, if there are lots of them, denying them affordable access to suitable CPUs will only push them in the direction of Intel's main rival, AMD. Rounding out the evidence for Intel's anti-customer attitude is its famously brain-dead branding strategy. As I've bemoaned on many occasions, with the Core i3, i5 and i7 monikers, it's now almost impossible for ordinary PC buyers to have any real idea what CPU they're actually buying. The whole sorry situation strikes me as being intentionally obfuscatory. It's all the more disappointing given that Intel's CPU engineers are currently on such blazing form, but I suppose it all plays to the pessimist in me. Intel's recent performance has been near-flawless. Something's got to give, and if the engineers won't deliver, then it's down to the marketing guys to screw it up. From where I'm standing, they've really got their eyes on the prize.</div></div><div class="webonly" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br style="clear: both; display: block; float: none; height: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" /></span><br />

He opened it,<br />
looked inside, slammed it shut, and stormed back into his house.<br />
A little later he came out of his house again, looking nervous, went to the mailbox, again opened it, and slammed it shut again.<br />
Angrily, back into the house he went. As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, here our Singh came again,looking very heated up. He marched to the mailbox, opened it and then slammed it shut harder than ever. Puzzled by his actions, the man asked him,"Is something wrong?"<br />
<br />
To which the ferocious Singh replied, " There certainly is! My stupid computer keeps telling me I have mail!"<br />
<br />
==========================<br />
<br />
One Singh was enjoying the sun at the beach in America . A lady came asked him, "Are you relaxing?" Singh answered, " No, I am Banta Singh."<br />
<br />
Another guy came and asked him the same question. Singh answered, "No No Me Banta Singh!"<br />
Third one came and asked him the same question again. Singh was totally annoyed and decided to shift his place.<br />
<br />
While walking he saw another Singh soaking in the sun. He went up to him and asked, "Are you Relaxing?" The other Singh was a lot more<br />
educated and answered, "Yes, I am relaxing."<br />
The Singh slapped him on his face and said, Stupid, idiot. Everyone is looking for you and you are sitting over here!"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Jasmeet: "What are you searching for?"<br />
Santa: "Hidden cameras!"<br />
Jasmeet: "And what makes you think that there are hidden cameras here?"<br />
Santa: "That guy on TV knows exactly what I am doing. Why every few minutes he keeps saying 'You are watching the Star World channel'. How does he know that?"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

He takes his seat in the examination hall, stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration takes his shoes off and throws them out of the window.<br />
He then removes his turban and throws it away as well. His shirt, pant, socks and watch follow suit.<br />
The invigilator, alarmed, approaches him and asks what is going on.<br />
"Oye, I am only following the instructions yaar," he says, " it says here, 'Answer the following questions in brief' ."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

So the other asked, "Why are you crying?" The first one replied, "I came here for blood test"<br />
Second one asked, "So? Are you afraid ? "<br />
First one replied, " No, not that. During the blood test they cut my finger"<br />
Hearing this the second one started crying. The first one was astonished and asked other, "Why are you crying?"<br />
The other replied, "I have come for my urine test."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Windows isn't the best operating system for a netbook. It can be slow to start and it's somewhat inefficient, but most of us are familiar with it and have programs that need Windows to work. <br />
<div>The best scenario would be to have Windows available for times when you need to do general work, and a different, faster operating system for the times when you just want to go online. <br />
You can achieve this by setting up a dual boot system with a speedy Linux distribution, such as <a href="http://lubuntu.net/">Lubuntu</a>. Download the <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/laptops/www.bit.ly/dmKyz1">Lubuntu ISO file from here</a>. <br />
Once the file has downloaded, use <a href="http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/">UNetbootin</a> to copy it to a bootable USB drive. Launch it, connect your thumb drive, choose 'Disk Image' and browse to your Lubuntu ISO file. Click 'OK' and wait for the image to be written to the USB drive. <br />
You can use this to start your netbook. Connect it and press [Esc], or any button that gives you access to the boot menu. Check your documentation if unsure. <br />
If you want to install Windows afresh, you need to do so before installing Lubuntu, because it handles partitioning your drive and adds the GRUB boot manager for you at startup. <br />
Once set up, you should be able to access your Lubuntu desktop and launch the Chrome browser in a matter of seconds. </div><span></span>------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><strong>1.

If you already have it you can skip this step, although it's a good idea to clear your hard drive and start with a completely clean system. First, use a USB-connected disk drive or create a bootable USB flash drive using UNetbootin. Now install Windows to the full hard drive, then restart your netbook with the Lubuntu USB drive connected. <span><br />

This launches the LiveCD version, giving you a chance to try the interface. Once you're happy with how it works, double-click the 'Install Lubuntu' link on the desktop. The installation asks for your preferred language, location and keyboard layout.<span><br />

You can leave the installation to run. It will take 10-20 minutes, depending on the speed of your netbook. <span><br />

</div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;">When it comes to the Internet, we're creatures of habit – Google for search, Hotmail for email, Twitter to stay in touch and maybe the BBC's website for news. </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;">This means that we use only a handful of favourite sites, leaving the rest of the Internet unvisited. Let's put that right. By the time you've finished reading, we promise that your list of bookmarked sites will have ballooned and you'll be getting more from your surfing. </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>------------------------------------------------------------- </b></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>Software and tools</b></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>1. </b><a href="http://www.thinkfree.com/">ThinkFree Office</a> is a powerful suite of productivity apps that includes a robust word processor, spreadsheet and presentation tool. The suite has subtle touches such as an inline spell-checker, and you can work offline if the Internet goes down. There's also support for 11 languages and helpful PDF export capability. Most importantly, you can share documents with other users and work on files collaboratively. The suite is free if you can live with 1GB of storage, or upgrade for a nominal fee to a premium account. </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>2.</b> <a href="http://www.zoho.com/">Zoho</a> is a highly useful web portal for being productive on the go. More than just a word processor and task manager, Zoho has a multitude of small web apps for taking notes, storing contact information and project management. There's even a web conferencing tool. APIs are available for the web services in Zoho's word processor and spreadsheet, too. There's also a slideshow creator so that you can make calls from another website – for example, an accounting site could read tables from a Zoho spreadsheet. The site is one of the first to support VB macros and the document mark-up language LaTeX. </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>3.</b> It's time to ditch Microsoft Excel. <a href="http://www.editgrid.com/">EditGrid</a> is powerful enough for basic number crunching without the extensive pivot table and worksheet functions. Its main strength, unsurprisingly, comes in how you can format cells, with image includes, JavaScript calls and a data exchange between spreadsheets and even between the spreadsheets hosted by other users. There's a plugin that reads Excel data, templates, mash-up features for integrating data from websites like Yahoo! Finance and plenty of text formatting options. Registration is quick and there are three pricing plans: one free account, a premium account for just a few dollars per month and a multi-user company plan. Unfortunately, it does not work in Internet Explorer 6. </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>4.</b> Web project management has taken a beating these last few years, especially since tools like www.basecamphq.com stress simplicity over actual features. <a href="http://www.clarizen.com/">Clarizen</a> is easy to use and runs fast on a 3Mbps connection on a 64-bit 3GHz Vista PC, but it also has deeper features. For example, you can update your task list by sending an email to the project inbox. (You can also request a daily task list by sending an email.) </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>5.</b> The original idea for <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/">SlideShare</a> came when co-founder Jonathan Boutelle was at a conference and saw how attendees were easily sharing large videos and photo collections online, but had to physically pass around USB keys to distribute sales presentations. He created SlideShare as a way to host and store PowerPoint files. It has became incredibly popular. </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>6.</b> It may not have the flare and design of Microsoft Visio, but the online flow-charting program known as <a href="http://www.gliffy.com/">Gliffy</a> certainly has an expansive set of features. There are icons for networking, office design and organisation charts to help you put some order around any idea. Line connectors automatically snap into place, or avoid certain shapes when you move them around the screen – a powerful programming trick, especially since the site does not use any plug-ins or require you to download any software. </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>7.</b> Part online presence for slideshows and part client-side tool that helps you create presentations and post them online, <a href="http://www.sliderocket.com/">sliderocket.com</a> has one major benefit: it's lightning fast. In tests with several different PCs at different connection speeds (including one at a public hotspot), we found that we could create a detailed sales presentation with several high-res graphics in no time The site uses Adobe Flex and the AIR client. 'Presentation analytics' (now there's a buzzword) tells you who saw your presentation and even how long they looked at each of your slides. </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>8.</b> <a href="http://www.scribd.com/">Scribd</a> is not quite a word processor, although it looks like one at first. Instead, it's actually a content creation tool that you could use to publish your own technical papers, schoolwork, or even a novel online. It's also one of the only document management tools we have found that is free and publicly available (Scribd also offers a closed service). </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: justify;"><b>------------------------------------------------------------- </b></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: orange; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><b>Storage and files </b><br />
<b>9.</b> Our favourite online storage portal, <a href="http://www.box.net/">box.net</a> has the most fascinating social networking features. Other users can tag and comment on your files (if you give them permission). You can use APIs to link the storage (a basic account is free, premium services cost about £4-£10 per month) to popular web services like <a href="http://www.zoho.com/">www.zoho.com</a> and <a href="http://www.picnik.com/">www.picnik.com</a>. If you do go with the premium account, you get 5 or 15GBs and the ability to see version history on files. Alas, there does not appear to be a desktop folder as with Dropbox. <br />
<b>10.</b> It's easier to understand <a href="http://www.pando.com/">Pando</a> by what it's not: you can't sync files, store them online or make back-ups. Instead, it's the best site we' found for sending large fi les by email. Instead of using attachments, you just send your recipient a Pando link. Max file size is 1GB, and there's a video sharing version for consumers and corporate users – all free. <br />
<b>11.</b> Although it's not what we really want (a full Microsoft Word client on the web), <a href="http://workspace.officelive.com/">Workspace</a> is as close as Microsoft is willing to get at this point. It's a 'store and share' site that is worth your time because you can archive thousands of Word docs for free and make them fully searchable online – for you or for any user you give permission to access the archive. <br />
<b>12.</b> Instead of just storing your files online or syncing them between computers, <a href="http://www.mozy.com/home">MozyHome</a> is both a web portal to view your archived files and a client-side back-up app. Its main feature is the ability to monitor important folders and archive them to the web so that you can restore them at any time, regardless of whether you are even using the same computer. MozyHome is the free version that comes with 2GB of online storage, while Mozy Unlimited costs $5 per month and Mozy Pro is a network back-up utility with several pricing plans. <br />
<b>13.</b> Most photo sharing sites use some combination of web forms, HTML and JavaScript to help you organise your photos online. <a href="http://www.zoto.com/">Zoto</a> uses JavaScript, along with a client-side photo uploader that handles bulk uploads, and works with Linux, Mac, and Windows. <br />
<b>14.</b> It might be easy to dismiss <a href="http://www.eyeos.org/">EyeOS</a> as an attention grabbing alternative OS that runs in a browser. After all, it could be argued Firefox is a kind of operating system that runs JavaScript apps. EyeOS makes easy work of common tasks like file associations and one-click access to your favourite apps. The OS includes 60 popular apps, including word processing and audio players – you can get more at <a href="http://www.eyeos-apps.org/">www.eyeos-apps.org</a>. Still in its infant state, EyeOS reveals a tantalising glimpse of what Windows could look like if it ran in a browser. <br />
<b>15.</b> The concept of a 'social database' might seem like a contradiction – but <a href="http://www.blist.com/">Blist</a> pulls it off. You can enter vast quantities of data – the entire fantasy football roster for all your friends, for example – and then share the data between Blist users. Templates are geared for those who want to weed out duplicate data.<br />
<a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/web/50-best-websites-you-ll-wonder-how-you-lived-without-477214?artc_pg=2#ixzz19Zx7pyDB"></a></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><div style="color: orange;"><b>16.</b> The holy grail of file syncing is the ability to drop files into a folder and have that same folder show up on every other computer you own and work exactly like a network drive – except that it's online. <a href="http://www.getdropbox.com/">Dropbox</a> (still in beta) solves this issue. Just add a folder to your desktop and copy files. You can also share complete folders so that anyone with access to the folder sees and is able to use the shared, synced files. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>17.</b> <a href="http://www.carbonite.com/">Carbonite</a> is a unique online back-up utility that sits in your system tray and watches important folders, such as those containing 'dev' files or Word documents, automatically archiving them to a secure website as you work. There is no limit to the storage space available, although the program will only upload a couple of gigabytes per day. Strangely, after install, the clientside app reboots Windows Explorer.</div><div style="color: orange;"><b>-------------------------------------------------------------</b></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;"><div style="color: orange;"><b>Graphics </b></div><div style="color: orange;"><b>18.</b> There are no extra frills offered by <a href="http://www.dafont.com/">dafont.com</a> – the main draw is that the site houses over 7,000 fonts, all freely available to download for Mac or Windows. Linux users will have to convert the fonts. You can grab every single font in one eMule or BitTorrent file; just go to www.dafont.com/faq.php#howmany and look for the 'zip' file links. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>19.</b> Part Flickr replacement and part entry-level photo editor, <a href="http://www.photoshop.com/express">Photoshop Express</a> proves that Adobe is on a clear path toward online apps. It's fairly basic: you can apply a handful of filters for lighting and exposure, rotate and re-size images, embed photos into a web page and share your shots with other users – even those on Flickr. The site shows huge potential: with 2GB of free storage, imagine being able to apply complex editing tasks to a series of photos where 'the cloud' does all the processing for you. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>20.</b> There's a plethora of general purpose how-to sites on the web, including the fantastic <a href="http://www.wonderhowto.com/">www.wonderhowto.com</a>, but <a href="http://www.luxa.org/">Luxa </a>is for the technical-minded Photoshop user. You may already know how to perform a Gaussian blur, but Luxa teaches you how to make neon glow effects, complex layering, text design within Photoshop and many other skills. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>21.</b> Don't avoid <a href="http://www.bluestring.com/">Bluestring</a> just because it's owned by AOL: the site is an example of how the web can be a powerful ally in digital media collection. You can upload music, photos, and videos. The handy status bar lets you do a massive bulk upload and switch to a different tab, then check back to see how much data has been uploaded. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>22.</b> Ecommerce sites have changed dramatically over the years. <a href="http://www.imagekind.com/">Imagekind</a> is a unique site that lets you preview museum art and photos on various picture frames and even different canvas materials before making the purchase. Prints generally cost about £15 each. You can also sell your own prints. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>23.</b> Web users are always in a hurry, which is what makes <a href="http://www.flauntr.com/">Flauntr</a> so attractive. You can click one option to see multiple views of how a filter will change your photo. Using the 'PicasR' filter, you can pick a work of art from Picasso and apply that technique to your image. The site isn't exceptionally fast, but the drag-and-drop interface and one-click effects are worth exploration. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>24.</b> If registering with <a href="http://www.simplebucket.com/">Simplebucket</a> could be easier, we'd be surprised. To upload photos (2MB max per image), you don't even need an account. You just type in your email, select photos and upload. You can then view those photos associated with your email account by clicking on a secure link the site sends you. Simplebucket is free, although you can buy more 'upload credits' for a few dollars – you get five free per day. If you want a password, you can always upload a photo and then click 'Settings' to create an account. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>25.</b> <a href="http://www.1001freefonts.com/">1001freefonts</a> actually has about 7,000 fonts to pick from, each with a useful preview. You can also perform a 'custom preview' to see how the font looks with the text you intend using. There's also a download option to buy 7,000 fonts all at once, which costs about a tenner. </div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: orange; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;"><b>26.</b> <a href="http://www.interfacelift.com/">InterfaceLIFT</a> is a vast collection of icons, images, wallpapers and random clipart, which can help you add some flair to a web app or an interface. You can also just download desktop wallpapers — it's an amazingly good collection and all the artwork is free to use.<br />
<b>27.</b> Similar to Photoshop Express, <a href="http://www.picnik.com/">Picnik</a> goes much further with an extensive array of photo-editing effects, histograms, fine pixel alterations and colour correction. You can upload photos from your PC, a webcam and any website.<br />
<b>-------------------------------------------------------------</b></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;"><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: orange; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;"><b>Research and e-learning </b><br />
<b>28. </b>Not all sites have to use a flashy interface. <a href="http://www.martindalecenter.com/">Martindale</a>'s reference desk is essentially a collection of links to really useful information. There's a huge wealth of reference material on disparate topics such as banjo lessons, world clocks, time and expense calculators, eye tests for computer users, a science database, currency convertors and just about anything you can think of. As the web moves closer to a 'single use' model where one site performs only a simple function, Martindale's throws the book at you – virtually. <br />
<b>29. </b>Ever wonder how to embed a picture to a cell in Microsoft Excel? At <a href="http://www.ehow.com/">eHow</a>, you can find the answer in just a few clicks. They have categories for electronics, careers, health and many others. The site is almost all text, so you can find the answers you need quickly. <br />
<b>30.</b> <a href="http://www.mashery.com/">Mashery</a> is a hosted service for your web API – it allows you to create links between, say, Yahoo! maps and Flickr photos, or plot the location of public parks with disc golf data you pull from a volunteer site. It supports usage tracking, asset management, encryption – everything you need to link data form one host to another. <br />
<b>31.</b> Amazon uses the term 'artificial artificial intelligence' (sic) to define what the <a href="http://www.mturk.com/">Mechanical Turk</a> site is all about. It's actually a site where you can sign up to perform very repetitive tasks, such as typing text transcripts for videos. You pay just a few cents per completed Human Intelligence Task. These are generally things that a computer is not very good at. It's a very illuminating example of where AI is faltering. <br />
<b>32.</b> Agreeing on basic business principals often requires written contracts and lawyers. You can skip that chaos by using <a href="http://www.mumboe.com/">Mumboe</a>, a site that hosts online applications for business agreements. The free account is quite limited: you can only host up to 10 agreements and only three users can apply. Pricing for premium accounts runs to about £12 to £24 per month for unlimited users, secure and searchable contracts and version control. Registration is a little clunky: you have to agree to the terms twice and the confirmation email took a while to send. <br />
<b>33.</b> Not quite a web aggregator, yet more than a simple search engine, <a href="http://www.pageonce.com/">PageOnce</a> lets you add secure sites to one page – you can see your bank balance, airline ticket info, Netflix rentals and a host of other data. Registration was pretty easy: no codes to type in, just a confirmation link sent through email. <br />

It's very useful for web developers and designers who want to visit a site in production to talk about the look and feel of it. It's also just a good meet-up site for mobile users who need to exchange ideas, and best of all, it's free. <br />
<b>38.</b> Mobile users can watch TV any time they want with <a href="http://www.joost.com/">Joost</a> - and the service has recently switched to an online viewer instead of requiring that you download a client. With 28,000 shows online, Joost has a leg up on other more 'premium' sites such as <a href="http://www.hulu.com/">Hulu</a>, although don't expect a high bit-rate or HD quality for any of the online streams. <br />
<b>39.</b> <a href="http://www.myvello.com/">Vello</a> is unique. It lets you arrange a phone conference by calling a Vello number that re-distributes the conference call number to anyone that you want. There's no registrationor sign-up for attendees, and the site even offers a seven-day free trial to check it out. <br />
<b>40.</b> Instant messaging aggregators are handy because they put all of your accounts into one page so you can chat with your associates and friends without installing any software. <a href="http://www.orgoo.com/">Orgoo</a> is helpful if you tend to visit Internet cafes or use a borrowed laptop from work, or just want one-click access to IM. Still in private beta, it also offers a new video chat service that uses your webcam and is now open for unregistered use. <br />
<b>41.</b> Like an open-source version of Microsoft Exchange, <a href="http://www.zimbra.com/">Zimbra</a> is a mail client for business use where you host all of the mail online for every user. You can share all of your personal folders, assign specific tasks to certain people, instant message, integrate IMAP and POP mail as well as use an iPhone client to access the mail repository, and arrange meetings with your team. <br />
<b>42.</b> Note-taking apps are usually small utilities that you download and use on your desktop. <a href="http://www.evernote.com/">Evernote</a> is a webbased version that collects all of your fragmented data into one searchable portal. You can scan documents, send an email to your account and upload photos, videos or just about anything you can think of to your own secure site. Then, when you need to find that one website or phone number, or that hilarious photo from the last business outing, you can fi d it on the free notes database online. <br />

Adding a contact is very quick: you type the name, then add the phone numbers and address for that person. You can also import data from Outlook or using a the vCard file format and you can export your contacts database for use in other programs as a vCard or CSV file. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>44.</b> It's about time someone created an aggregator for video content. <a href="http://www.ovguide.com/">OVGuide</a> doesn't actually host any videos, but it helps you find where they are located on the web. It's agnostic about the legalities of full-length feature films, merely pointing you to known locations. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>45.</b> Weeding out the undesirables and trolls on Internet forums is a Herculean task. <a href="http://www.daniweb.com/">Daniweb</a> is a different kind of IRC chat: only IT professionals can join and the chats tend to be highly technical rather than just mindless chatter. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>46.</b> Google searches are a million miles wide and a centimetre thick. <a href="http://www.stumpedia.com/">Stumpedia</a> only returns the results that other users think are valuable. We searched for virtualisation on both search engines. On Google, we saw millions of links, most of them poorly worded definitions and myopic marketing sites. On Stumpedia there are just three links, including a site entry that does the server technology justice – it's worth a click. </div><div style="color: orange;"><b>47.</b> The brilliant thing about trip planning site <a href="http://www.tripit.com/">TripIt</a> is that it knows where you are. If you plan a business trip to London, you can load all of your contacts from email clients and then track who will be in the area at the same time as you. </div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: orange; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;"><b>48.</b> Intense – that's the initial reaction we had when using <a href="http://www.tunesbag.com/">TunesBag</a> (still in private beta – you have to request an invitation). Legal because the site is hosted in Austria, you can upload all of your music files to the site and then listen to the songs from any computer – or share the music with anyone you want. Use it while it's still alive! <br />
<b>49.</b> If you use an RSS reader then it's worth checking out <a href="http://www.toluu.com/">Toluu</a>. The site is an 'aggregator of the aggregators'; you can import multiple RSS feeds from various sources and read them all in one spot before sharing the feeds with other users. Sharing is key: it means that you see what people who have subscribed to the same feeds as you are reading. <br />
<b>50.</b> <a href="http://www.sosauce.com/">SoSauce</a> is a catch-all for journaling to yourself (reminders, thoughts for the day), finding travel deals, social networking with other users and sharing photos. We love the area where you can play games like extreme sledding and hyper pong against other SoSauce members.<br />

Look at the beauty, symmetry and revelation of Maths. <br />
<br />
Beauty of Maths!<br />
<br />
1 x 8 + 1 = 9<br />
12 x 8 + 2 = 98<br />
123 x 8 + 3 = 987<br />
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876<br />
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765<br />
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654<br />
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543<br />
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432<br />
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321<br />
<br />
1 x 9 + 2 = 11<br />
12 x 9 + 3 = 111<br />
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111<br />
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111<br />
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111<br />
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111<br />
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111<br />
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111<br />
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111<br />
<br />
9 x 9 + 7 = 88<br />
98 x 9 + 6 = 888<br />
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888<br />
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888<br />
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888<br />
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888<br />
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888<br />
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888<br />
<br />
Brilliant, isn't it?<br />
<br />
And look at this symmetry:<br />
<br />
1 x 1 = 1<br />
11 x 11 = 121<br />
111 x 111 = 12321<br />
1111 x 1111 = 1234321<br />
11111 x 11111 = 123454321<br />
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321<br />
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321<br />
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321<br />
111111111 x 111111111=123456789 87654321<br />
<br />
Now, take a look at this...<br />
<br />
101%<br />
<br />
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:<br />
<br />
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?<br />
<br />
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?<br />
<br />
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.<br />
<br />
How about ACHIEVING 101%?<br />
<br />
What equals 100% in life?<br />
<br />
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these<br />
questions:<br />
<br />
If:<br />
<br />
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z<br />
<br />
Is represented as:<br />
<br />
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.<br />
<br />
Then:<br />
<br />
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K is equal to<br />
<br />
8+1+18+4+23 + 15+18+11 = 98%<br />
<br />
And:<br />
<br />
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E is equal to<br />
<br />
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%<br />
<br />
But:<br />
<br />
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E is equal to<br />
<br />
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%<br />
<br />
<br />
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:<br />
<br />
L-O-V-E- O-F-G-O-D is equal to <br />
<br />
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%<br />
<br />
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:<br />
<br />
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!<br />
<br />
Have a nice day & God bless!!!<br />

Operator: "JUST A MINUTE..." <br />
Ah Beng : "THANK YOU lah" AND PUTS DOWN THE PHONE.<br />

After completing a jigsaw puzzle he'd been working on for quite some time, Ah Beng proudly shows off the finished puzzle to a friend.<br />
"It took me ONLY 5 MONTHS TO DO IT", Ah Beng brags. <br />
"FIVE MONTHS ? THAT'S TOO LONG", the friend exclaims. <br />
"YOU ARE A FOOL." Ah Beng replies, "SEE THIS BOX, IT IS WRITTEN FOR 4-7 YRS". <br />

<br />
At a bar in New York , the man to Ah Beng's left tells the bartender, "JOHNNIE WALKER, SINGLE" <br />
and his companion says, "JACK DANIELS, SINGLE".<br />
The bartender approaches Ah Beng and asks, "AND YOU, SIR ?" <br />
Ah Beng replies : "Tan Ah Beng, MARRIED lah" <br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">(1) Fine:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">(2) Five Minutes:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">(3) Nothing:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> This is the calm before the storm. This means something,and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">(4) Go Ahead:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">(5) Loud Sigh:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">(6) That's Okay:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">(7) Thanks: </div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">(8) Whatever:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> Is a women's way of saying F**** YOU!</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: justify;">(9) Don't worry about it, I got it:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3. * Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.</li>

By Joe Turner, Career Coach <br />
<br />
Many years ago when I hated what I was doing for a living, I was encouraged by my career coach to write down several short stories about times and events in my life where I influenced the outcome. I was stumped at first, but after a few days, I came up with more than 15 pages of stories of times in my life where I influenced the outcome and either grew myself and/or bettered the existence of either myself or others around me.<br />
<br />
So what does this have to do with a job interview?<br />
<br />
If you read other books on job interviews, you'll notice they feed you lists of interview questions and answers to memorize. An interview is not an interrogation, however it's a conversation. To make it that way you need to come armed with a multitude of small stories about both your business and personal lives.<br />
<br />
When you go into an interview, you need to leave your nerves at the door. The best way to prepare is to be yourself. The best way to be yourself is to tell your own story (or stories).<br />
<br />
This is especially great for the competency-based interview being used more today. In a traditional interview, the interviewer will ask you questions focused on whether you have the skills and knowledge needed to do the job. A competency-based interview goes further by asking you additional questions about your character and personal attributes that can better determine whether you fit their corporate culture. These are called "behavioral competencies." <br />
<br />
A competency-based interviewer will spend about half the interview on your job skills, and about half on your behavioral competencies. He or she will be looking for evidence of how you have acted in real situations in the past. <br />
<br />
An employer wants to find out:<br />
<ul><li>Are you an asset or liability? In other words, will you make money or save money for the company?</li>
<li>Are you a team player? Will you fit into the corporate hierarchy or be like sand in the gears? Can you take and give (if appropriate) orders?</li>
<li>Will you fit into the company culture? They don't want prima donnas.</li>
</ul><br />
The best way to show these traits is to take the initiative and have several personal stories that you can tell, taking maybe 30 to 90 seconds each.<br />
<br />
You may want to start by developing your stories around these seven areas:<br />
<ol><li>Times where you either made money or saved money for your current or previous company.</li>
<li> A crisis in your life or job and how you responded or recovered from it.</li>
<li>A time where you functioned as part of a team and what your contribution was.</li>
<li>A time in your career or job where you had to overcome stress.</li>
<li>A time in your job where you provided successful leadership or a sense of direction.</li>
<li>A failure that occurred in your job and how you overcame it.</li>
<li>Any seminal events that happened during your career to cause you to change direction and how that worked out for you.</li>
</ol>I want to emphasize that an interview should not be an interrogation. It should be a conversation between two equals. When you accomplish this you come away a step closer to your goal of landing the job you really want, because...<br />
<br />
It's the conversation that wins an interview, and it's the conversation that wins the job<br />
<br />
To have a conversation, have your stories ready.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Subject: BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS<br />
<br />
Something very useful.... BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS<br />
<br />
<b>1. No Breakfast</b><br />
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Overeating</b><br />
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Smoking </b><br />
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.<br />
<br />
<b>4. High Sugar consumption</b><br />
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development. <br />
<br />
<b>5. Air Pollution</b><br />
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Sleep Deprivation </b><br />
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Head covered while sleeping</b><br />
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.<br />

<b>8. Working your brain during illness</b><br />
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain. <br />
<br />

The main causes of liver damage are:<br />
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.<br />
2. Not urinating in the morning.<br />
3. Too much eating.<br />
4. Skipping breakfast.<br />
5. Consuming too much medication.<br />
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.<br />
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.<br />
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. <br />
<br />
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."<br />
<br />
Because :<br />
<br />
Evening at 9 - 11 pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during<br />
this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.<br />
<br />
Evening at 11pm - 1 am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.<br />
<br />
Early morning 1 - 3 am : detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.<br />
<br />
Early morning 3 - 5 am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.<br />
<br />
Morning 5 - 7am : detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.<br />
<br />
Morning 7 - 9 am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.<br />
<br />
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Avoid simple names or words you can find in a dictionary, even with numbers tacked on the end. Instead, mix upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. A password should have at least eight characters. One good technique is to insert numbers or symbols in the middle of a word, such as this variant on the word "houses": hO27usEs!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Leaving Your Full Birth Date in Your Profile</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's an ideal target for identity thieves, who could use it to obtain more information about you and potentially gain access to your bank or credit card account. If you've already entered a birth date, go to your profile page and click on the Info tab, then on Edit Information. Under the Basic Information section, choose to show only the month and day or no birthday at all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Overlooking Useful Privacy Controls</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For almost everything in your Facebook profile, you can limit access to only your friends, friends of friends, or yourself. Restrict access to photos, birth date, religious views, and family information, among other things. You can give only certain people or groups access to items such as photos, or block particular people from seeing them. Consider leaving out contact info, such as phone number and address, since you probably don't want anyone to have access to that information anyway.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Posting Your Child's Name in a Caption</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Don't use a child's name in photo tags or captions. If someone else does, delete it by clicking on Remove Tag. If your child isn't on Facebook and someone includes his or her name in a caption, ask that person to remove the name.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Mentioning That You'll Be Away From Home</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's like putting a "no one's home" sign on your door. Wait until you get home to tell everyone how awesome your vacation was and be vague about the date of any trip.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Letting Search Engines Find You</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To help prevent strangers from accessing your page, go to the Search section of Facebook's privacy controls and select Only Friends for Facebook search results. Be sure the box for public search results isn't checked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Permitting Youngsters to Use Facebook Unsupervised</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Facebook limits its members to ages 13 and over, but children younger than that do use it. If you have a young child or teenager on Facebook, the best way to provide oversight is to become one of their online friends. Use your e-mail address as the contact for their account so that you receive their notifications and monitor their activities. "What they think is nothing can actually be pretty serious," says Charles Pavelites, a supervisory special agent at the Internet Crime Complaint Center. For example, a child who posts the comment "Mom will be home soon, I need to do the dishes" every day at the same time is revealing too much about the parents' regular comings and goings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

At The End of His Life......The great Greek king, Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the Way, he fell ill and was bedridden for months. With death drawing close, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no use.<br />
<br />
He called his generals and said,"I will depart from this world soon. But i have 3 wishes. Please fulfill my wishes without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.<br />
<br />
"My first desire is that," said Alexander, "my physicians alone must carry the coffin."Secondly, when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard should be strewn with gold, silver and precious stone which i have collected in my treasury. My third and the last wish is that both of my hands should be kept dangling out of my coffin." <br />
<br />
The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dared to question. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. "O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"<br />
<br />
At this Alexander took a deep breath and said, "I would like the world to know of the three lessons i have just learn. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure anybody. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted.<br />
<br />
The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a fraction of gold can be taken by me. Let people realize that it is sheer waste of time to chase wealth.<br />
<br />
And about my third wish off having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I want people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed when I go out of this world."<br />
<br />
Alexander's last words:<br />

" A philosopher vs a mathematician vs an idiot.."Three men, notably a philosopher, a mathematician and an idiot, were out riding in a car when it crashed into a tree.<br />
<br />
Before long, the three men found themselves standing before the pearly gates of Heaven, where the Angel and the Devil were standing nearby.<br />
<br />
"Gentlemen," the Devil started, "Owing to the fact that Heaven is now overcrowded, God has agreed to limit the number of souls entering Heaven.<br />
<br />
If anyone of you can ask me a question which I don't know or cannot answer, then you're worthy enough to go to Heaven; if not, then you'll come with me to Hell."<br />
<br />
The philosopher then stepped forward and asked, "What is the most comprehensive report on Socrates' teachings?" The Devil made a snap of his finger and a piece of paper appeared. The philosopher read it and concluded it was correct.<br />
<br />
"Then, go to Hell!" said the Devil. With another snap of his finger,the philosopher disappeared.<br />
<br />
The mathematician then asked, "Give me the most complicated formula you can ever think of!" With a snap of his finger, another piece of paper appeared in the Devil's hand. The mathematician read it and reluctantly agreed it was correct.<br />
<br />
"Then, go to Hell!" With another snap of his finger, the mathematician disappeared, too.<br />
The idiot then stepped forward and said, "Bring me a chair!" The Devil brought forward a chair.<br />
<br />
"Drill 7 holes on the seat." The Devil did just that.<br />
<br />
The idiot then sat on the chair and let out a very loud fart.<br />
<br />
Standing up, he asked, "Which hole did my fart come out from?"<br />
<br />
The Devil inspected the seat and said, "The third hole from the right."<br />
<br />
"Wrong," said the idiot, "it's from my ass hole."<br />

<br />
Q: Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq? <br />
A: Because they had weapons of mass destruction, son. <br />
<br />
Q: But the inspectors didn't find any weapons of mass destruction. <br />
A: That's because the Iraqis were hiding them. <br />
<br />
Q: And that's why we invaded Iraq? <br />
A: Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections. <br />
<br />
Q: But after we invaded them, we STILL didn't find any weapons of mass destruction, did we? <br />
A: That's because the weapons are so well hidden. Don't worry, we'll find something, probably right before the next election. <br />
<br />
Q: Why did Iraq want all those weapons of mass destruction? <br />
A: To use them in a war, silly. <br />
<br />
Q: I'm confused. If they had all those weapons that they planned to use in a war, then why didn't they use any of those weapons when we went to war with them? <br />
A: Well, obviously they didn't want anyone to know they had those weapons so they chose to die by the thousands rather than defend themselves. <br />
<br />
Q: That doesn't make sense Daddy. Why would they choose to die if they had all those big weapons to fight us back with? <br />
A: It's a different culture. It's not supposed to make sense. <br />
<br />
Q: I don't know about you, but I don't think they had any of those weapons our government said they did. <br />
A: Well, you know, it doesn't matter whether or not they had those weapons. We had another good reason to invade them anyway. <br />
<br />
Q: And what was that? <br />
A: Even if Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was cruel dictator, which is another good reason to invade another country. <br />
<br />
Q: Why? What does a cruel dictator do that makes it OK to invade his country? <br />
A: Well!, f or one thing, he tortured his own people. <br />
<br />
Q: Kind of like what they do in China? <br />
A: Don't go comparing China to Iraq. China is a good economic competitor, where millions of people work for slave wages in sweatshops to make U.S. corporations richer. <br />
<br />
Q: So if a country lets its people be exploited for American corporate gain, it's a good country, even if that country tortures people? <br />
A: Right. <br />
<br />
Q: Why were people in Iraq being tortured? <br />
A: For political crimes, mostly, like criticizing the government. People who criticized the government in Iraq were sent to prison and tortured. <br />
<br />
Q: Isn't that exactly what happens in China? <br />
A: I told you, China is different. <br />
<br />
Q: What's the difference between China and Iraq? <br />
A: Well, for one thing, Iraq was ruled by the Ba'ath party, while China is Communist. <br />
<br />
Q: Didn't you once tell me Communists were bad? <br />
A: No, just Cuban Communists are bad. <br />
<br />
Q: How are the Cuban Communists bad? <br />
A: Well, for one thing, people who criticize the government in Cuba are sent to prison and tortured. <br />
<br />
Q: Like in Iraq? <br />
A: Exactly. <br />
<br />
Q: And like in China, too? <br />
A: I told you, China's a good economic competitor. Cuba, on the other hand, is not. <br />
<br />
Q: How come Cuba isn't a good economic competitor? <br />
A: Well, you see, back in the early 1960s, our government passed some laws that made it illegal for Americans to trade or do any business with Cuba until they stopped being Communists and started being capitalists like us. <br />
<br />
Q: But if we got rid of those laws, opened up trade with Cuba, and started doing business with them, wouldn't that help the Cubans become capitalist's? <br />
A: Don't be a smart-ass. <br />
<br />
Q: I didn't think I was being one. <br />
A: Well, anyway, they also don't have freedom of religion in Cuba. <br />
<br />
Q: Kind of like China and the Falun Gong movement? <br />
A: I told you, stop saying bad things about China. Anyway, Saddam Hussein came to power through a military coup, so he's not really a legitimate leader anyway. <br />
<br />
Q: What's a military coup? <br />
A: That's when a military general takes over the government of a country by force, instead of holding free elections like we do in the United States. <br />
<br />
Q: Didn't the ruler of Pakistan come to power by a military coup? <br />
A: You mean General Pervez Musharraf? Uh, yeah, he did, but Pakistan is our friend. <br />
<br />
Q: Why is Pakistan our friend if their leader is illegitimate? <br />
A: I never said Pervez Musharraf was illegitimate . <br />
<br />
Q: Didn't you just say a military general who comes to power by forcibly overthrowing the legitimate government of a nation is an illegitimate leader? <br />
A: Only Saddam Hussein. Pervez Musharraf is our friend, because he helped us invade Afghanistan. <br />
<br />
Q: Why did we invade Afghanistan? <br />
A: Because of what they did to us on September 11th. <br />
<br />
Q: What did Afghanistan do to us on September 11th? <br />
A: Well, on September 11th, nineteen men. Fifteen of them Saudi Arabians hijacked four airplanes and flew three of them into buildings, killing over 3,000 Americans. <br />
<br />
Q: So how did Afghanistan figure into all that? <br />
A: Afghanistan was where those bad men trained, under the oppressive rule of the Taliban. <br />
<br />
Q: Aren't the Taliban those bad radical Islamics who chopped off people's heads and hands? <br />
A: Yes, that's exactly who they were. Not only did they chop off people's heads and hands, but they oppressed women, too. <br />
<br />
Q: Didn't the Bush administration give the Taliban 43 million dollars back in May of 2001? <br />
A: Yes, but that money was a reward because they did such a good job fighting drugs. <br />
<br />
Q: Fighting drugs? <br />
A: Yes, the Taliban were very helpful in stopping people from growing opium poppies. <br />
<br />
Q: How did they do such a good job? <br />
A: Simple. If people were caught growing opium poppies, the Taliban would have their hands and heads cut off. <br />
<br />
Q: So, when the Taliban cut off people's heads and hands for growing flowers, that was OK, but not if they cut people's heads and hands off for other reasons? <br />
A: Yes. It's OK with us if radical Islamic fundamentalists cut off people's hands for growing flowers, but it's cruel if they cut off people's hands for stealing bread. <br />
<br />
Q: Don't they also cut off people's hands and heads in Saudi Arabia? <br />
A: That's different. Afghanistan was ruled by a tyrannical patriarchy that oppressed women and forced them to wear burqas whenever they were in public, with death by stoning as the penalty for women who did not comply. <br />
<br />
Q: Don't Saudi women have to wear burqas in public, too? <br />
A: No, Saudi women merely wear a traditional Islamic body covering. <br />
<br />
Q: What's the difference? <br />
A: The traditional Islamic covering worn by Saudi women is a modest yet fashionable garment that covers all of a woman's body except for her eyes and fingers. The burqa, on the other hand, is an evil tool of patriarchal oppression that covers all of a woman's body except for her eyes and fingers. <br />
<br />
Q: It sounds like the same thing with a different name. <br />
A: Now, don't go comparing Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are our friends. <br />
<br />
Q: But I thought you said 15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11th were from Saudi Arabia. <br />
A: Yes, but they trained in Afghanistan. <br />
<br />
Q: Who trained them? <br />
A: A very bad man named Osama bin Laden. <br />
<br />
Q: Was he from Afghanistan? <br />
A: Uh, no, he was from Saudi Arabia too. But he was a bad man, a very bad man. <br />
<br />
Q: I seem to recall he was our friend once. <br />
A: Only when we helped him and the mujahadeen repel the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan back in the 1980s. <br />
<br />
Q: Who are the Soviets? Was that the Evil Communist Empire Ronald Reagan talked about? <br />
A: There are no more Soviets. The Soviet Union broke up in 1990 or thereabouts!, and now they have elections and capitalism like us. We call them Russians now. <br />
<br />
Q: So the Soviets ? I mean, the Russians ? are now our friends? <br />
A: Well, not really. You see, they were our friends for many years after they stopped being Soviets, but then they decided not to support our invasion of Iraq, so we're mad at them now. We're also mad at the French and the Germans because they didn't help us invade Iraq either. <br />
<br />
Q: So the French and Germans are evil, too? <br />
A: Not exactly evil, but just bad enough that we had to rename French fries and French toast to Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast. <br />
<br />
Q: Do we always rename foods whenever another country doesn't do what we want them to do? <br />
A: No, we just do that to our friends. Our enemies, we invade. <br />
<br />
Q: But wasn't Iraq one of our friends back in the 1980s! ? <br />
A: Well, yeah. For a while. <br />
<br />
Q: Was Saddam Hussein ruler of Iraq back then? <br />
A: Yes, but at the time he was fighting against Iran, which made him our friend, temporarily. <br />
<br />
Q: Why did that make him our friend? <br />
A: Because at that time, Iran was our enemy. <br />
<br />
Q: Isn't that when he gassed the Kurds? <br />
A: Yeah, but since he was fighting against Iran at the time, we looked the other way, to show him we were his friend. <br />
<br />
Q: So anyone who fights against one of our enemies automatically becomes our friend? <br />
A: Most of the time, yes. <br />
<br />
Q: And anyone who fights against one of our friends is automatically an enemy? <br />
A: Sometimes that's true, too. However, if American corporations can profit by selling weapons to both sides at the same time, all the better. <br />
<br />
Q: Why? <br />
A: Because war is good for the economy, which means war is good for America. Also, since God is on America's side, anyone who opposes war is a godless un-American Communist. Do you understand now why we attacked Iraq? <br />
<br />
Q: I think so. We attacked them because God wanted us to, right? <br />
A: Yes. <br />
<br />
Q: But how did we know God wanted us to attack Iraq? <br />
A: Well, you see, God personally speaks to George W. Bush and tells him what to do. <br />
<br />
Q: So basically, what you're saying is that we attacked Iraq because George W. Bush hears voices in his head? <br />
A. Yes! You finally understand how the real world works. Now close your eyes, make yourself comfortable, and go to sleep. Good night. <br />

Watches can emit a certain level of<br />
radioactivity. Though small, but if you<br />
wear your watch to bed for a long<br />
time, it might have adverse effects on<br />
your health.<br />
<br />
DONT SLEEP WITH BRA<br />
Scientists in America have discovered<br />
those that wear bras for more than 12<br />
hours have a higher risk of getting<br />
breast cancer. So go to bed without it.<br />
<br />
DONT SLEEP WITH PHONE<br />
Putting the phone beside your bed or<br />
anywhere near you is not encouraged.<br />
Though some of us will use phones as<br />
alarm clocks, but please<br />
put the phone as far as possible.<br />
Scientists have proved that electrical<br />
items including mobile phone and<br />
television sets emit magnetic waves when<br />
used. These waves can cause<br />
disruptions to our nervous system.<br />
Therefore if you need to put your mobile<br />
phone near you, switch it off first.<br />
<br />
DONT SLEEP WITH MAKE UP<br />
People who sleep with make up might<br />
have skin problems in the long run.<br />
Sleeping with make up will cause the<br />
skin to have difficulty in breathing and<br />
problem in perspiring You will also need<br />
a much longer time to go into deep sleep.<br />

IT and Real World "Upgrade boyfriend 5.0 to husband 1.0 -pentium8 version.."Dear IT Support, <br />
<br />
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.<br />
<br />
In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as EPL 5.0, NBA 3.0 and ESPN 2.0. And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these <br />
problems, but to no avail. <br />
<br />
What can I do? <br />
<br />
Signed, <br />
Desperate <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Dear Desperate, <br />
<br />
First keep in mind; Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0. <br />
<br />
If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. <br />
<br />
But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1. Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files. <br />
<br />
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. <br />
<br />
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 6.9. <br />
<br />

He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to go home.<br />
He jacked up the truck and took the flat tyre down.<br />
<br />
When he was about to fix the spare tyre, he accidentally dropped all the bolts into the drain.<br />
As he can't fish the bolts out, he started to panic.<br />
One patient happened to walk past and asked the driver what happened. <br />
<br />
The driver thought to himself, since there's nothing much he can do;<br />
he told the patient the whole incident.<br />
The patient laughed at him & said "can't even fix such a simple problem...<br />
no wonder you are destined to be a truck driver..."<br />
<br />
"Here’s what you can do, take one bolt each from the other 3 tyres and fix it onto this tyre.<br />
Then drive to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones, easy as that" <br />
<br />
The driver was very impressed and asked "You're so smart but why are you here at the IMH?"<br />
Patient replied: "Hello, I stay here because I'm crazy,not STUPID,dumb!"ADNAN WANTIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16019498866252853108noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-247198691315234964.post-795355337350158082010-12-16T10:10:00.000-08:002010-12-17T09:53:31.284-08:00WHY SCIENCE FAILS TO EXPLAIN GOD?

<br />
Another Muslim raises his hand. <br />
"Professor, may I address the class?"<br />
<br />
The professor turns and smiles. "Ah, another Muslim in the vanguard! Come, come, young man. Speak some proper wisdom to the gathering." <br />
<br />
The Muslim looks around the room. "Some interesting points you are making, sir. Now I've got a question for you. <br />
<br />
"Is there such thing as heat?" <br />
<br />
Yes, the professor replies. "There's heat." <br />
<br />
"Is there such a thing as cold?" <br />
<br />
"Yes, son, there's cold too." <br />
<br />
"No, sir, there isn't." <br />
<br />
The professor's grin freezes. The room suddenly goes very cold. The second Muslim continues. <br />
“You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold, otherwise we would be able to go colder than 458 - - You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.” <br />
<br />
"Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it." <br />
<br />
Silence. A pin drops somewhere in the classroom. <br />
<br />
"Is there such a thing as darkness, professor?" <br />
<br />
"That's a dumb question, son. What is night if it isn't darkness? What are you getting at...? <br />
<br />
"So you say there is such a thing as darkness?" <br />
<br />
"Yes..." <br />
<br />
"You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to <br />
define the word. In reality, Darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker and give me a jar of it. Can you...give me a jar of darker darkness, professor?" despite himself, the professor smiles at the young effrontery before him. This will <br />
indeed be a good semester. <br />
<br />
"Would you mind telling us what your point is, young man?" <br />
<br />
"Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with and so your conclusion must be in error...." <br />
<br />
"The professor goes toxic. "Flawed...? How dare you...!" <br />
<br />
"Sir, may I explain what I mean?" <br />
<br />
The class is all ears. <br />
<br />
"Explain... oh, explain..." The professor makes an admirable effort to regain control. Suddenly he is affability itself. He waves his hand to silence the class, for the student to continue. <br />
<br />
"You are working on the premise of duality," the Muslim explains. “That for example there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science cannot even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism but has never seen, much less fully understood them. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.”<br />
<br />
"Death is not the opposite of life, merely the absence of it." The young man holds up a newspaper he takes from the desk of a neighbors who has been reading it. <br />
<br />
"Here is one of the most disgusting tabloids this country hosts, professor. Is there such a thing as immorality?" <br />
<br />
"Of course there is, now look..." <br />
<br />
"Wrong again, sir. You see, immorality is merely the absence of morality. Is there such thing as injustice? No." <br />
<br />
”Injustice is the absence of justice. Is there such a thing as evil?" <br />
The Muslim pauses. <br />
<br />
"Isn't evil the absence of good?" <br />
<br />
The professor's face has turned an alarming color. He is so angry he is temporarily speechless. <br />
<br />
The Muslim continues. "If there is evil in the world, professor, and we all agree there is, then God, if he exists, must be accomplishing a work through the agency of evil. What is that work, God is accomplishing? Islam tells us it is to see if each one of us will, choose good over evil." <br />
<br />
The professor bridles. "As a philosophical scientist, I don't vie this matter as having anything to do with any choice; as a realist, I absolutely do not recognize the concept of God or any other theological factor as being part of the world equation because God is not observable." <br />
<br />
"I would have thought that the absence of God's moral code in this world is probably one of the most observable phenomena going," the Muslim replies. <br />
<br />
"Newspapers make billions of dollars reporting it every week! Tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?" <br />
<br />
"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, Youngman, yes, of course I do." <br />
<br />
"Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?" <br />
<br />
The professor makes a sucking sound with his teeth and gives his student a silent, stony stare. <br />
<br />
"Professor. Since no-one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a priest?" <br />
<br />
"I will overlook your impudence in the light of our philosophical discussion. Now, have you quite finished?" the professor hisses. <br />
<br />
"So you don't accept God's moral code to do what is righteous?" <br />
<br />
"I believe in what is - that's science!" <br />
<br />
"Ahh! SCIENCE!" the student's face splits into a grin. <br />
<br />
"Sir, you rightly state that science is the study of observed phenomena. Science too is a premise which is flawed..." <br />
<br />
"SCIENCE IS FLAWED..?" the professor splutters. The class is in uproar. The Muslim remains standing until the commotion has subsided. <br />
<br />
"To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, may I give you an example of what I mean?" <br />
<br />
The professor wisely keeps silent. The Muslim looks around the room. <br />
<br />
"Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen air, Oxygen, molecules, atoms, and the professor's brain?" <br />
<br />
The class breaks out in laughter. The Muslim points towards his elderly, crumbling tutor. <br />
<br />
”Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain...felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain?" <br />
<br />
No one appears to have done so. The Muslim shakes his head sadly. <br />
“It appears no-one here has had any sensory perception of the professor's brain whatsoever. Well, according to the rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science, I DECLARE that the professor has no brain." <br />
<br />
NOW IT IS EVERYONE'S CHANCE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ISLAM, ABOUT <br />
GOD, <br />
ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF Existence, creation & life, ABOUT THE PROPHETS OF GOD, & ABOUT HIS HOLY BOOKS, ESPECIALLY THE HOLY QUR'AAN. <br />
THEN IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO BECOME A MUSLIM, OR NOT. <br />
ALLAAH SAYS IN THE HOLY: <br />
<br />
"THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION " <br />
<br />
"There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; And he who rejects false deities and believes in Allah(The God) has grasped a firm handhold which will never break. and Allah is ALL-Hearing, All-Knowing"<br />
[ 2:256 ]<br />
<br />
"Allah is the Protecting Guardian of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness into the light; As for those who disbelieve, their guardians are false deities. They bring them out of light into darkness"<br />
[ 2:257 ] <br />
<br />
AL-QUR'AAN (CHAPTER # 2, VERSES # 256-257) They are much nicer and more sound in Arabic) <br />
<br />
The Muslim sits... Because that is what a chair is for!!! <br />
<br />
Please forward to others to spread the benefit & increase reward you <br />
will get in-shaa-Allaaah <br />
wassalam...</td></tr>
