How to glamour a photoshop picture
1- Open the image you wish to "glamorize". Now duplicate it. Layer, Duplicate Layer
2- On the top layer go to Filter, Blur, Gaussian Blur. Try 25-50 pixels for 6 meg images.
3- Still on the top image go to Image, Adjust, Brightness and Contrast. Try +15% on both for starters.
4- On the Layers Menu select Overlay. In the pull down menu it is at the top left hand side. It will probably say Normal. Scroll down to Overlay.
5- In the Layers menu simply Flatten Image and save.
Here is a before and after. Pretty easy to do, to a larger or lesser degree. Try it.
Google Chrome Ditches http://
When you see some text prefixed by “http://” you automatically know that what follows is a web address, as defined by the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The question is — since most web addresses are easily recognizable anyway — do you really need it?
The developers of Google Chrome don’t think you do, so they simply chose to hide it in a developer version of Chrome.
The solution might not be that simple, though. You can hide the http:// bit from a web address, but it doesn’t mean it’s not really there. Worse — as seen from the comments from the Chromium wiki thread, where this feature was actually reported as a bug — it might cause problems for users.
“Many blogs, message boards, email viewing software, instant messaging software, etc. depend on matching against http:// to auto-link URLs. Removing http:// will train end-users to omit it, which will have a negative impact on usability all over the web,” one commenter says.
An example of this is Google Talk’s auto-linking of URL fragments; other issues include copying and pasting web addresses and other related bugs. The folks at Chrome are right about one thing: The “http://” part of the web address serves little purpose and mostly creates noise. The question is: Will hiding it solve the problem?

WorldyPeople.com is the new addition in the list of social networks, which claims to be different. This social network is created with the purpose of involving different ideologies of people who are willing to learn from every facet of life.

As of now, this cutting-edge social network has been made a paid website. The profile of Charles Yarbrough can be visited at http://www.charlesyarbrough.com.

Sony to stop the Floppy Disk
The days of the 3.5-inch floppy disk are now officially numbered.
Sony, which boasts 70 percent of the anemic market, announced Friday that it would end Japanese sales of the ancient storage medium in March 2011, according to a report in the Mainichi Daily newspaper.
The 3.5-inch floppy was a ubiquitous and necessary component for storing and transferring files between personal computers for nearly three decades. Sony pioneered the 3.5-inch floppy disk in 1981, eventually replacing the 5.25-inch floppy disk that had previously been the popular storage format.
However, as the size of files and programs grew, the floppy disk was pushed aside by inexpensive and larger-format storage medium. Thanks to the creation of storage methods such as CDs, DVDs, Zip, and USB drives, Sony saw its Japanese sales of floppies decline from a record 47 million disks in fiscal 2002 to 12 million in fiscal 2009.
Most other floppy disk manufacturers had long since pulled out of the market, and Sony itself has already ceased sales to most of its overseas markets.
Certainly the writing had been on the walls for years. With the release of the iMac in 1998, Apple was the first computer maker to take the plunge and eliminate the floppy completely. Dell followed suit in 2003 when it dropped the floppy as standard equipment on one of its Dimension desktops.
Updated at 4:50 p.m.: to clarify sales figures are for Japan.
DWHS has Announced the Launch of Their New 15% Web Hosting Affiliate Program
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/04/prweb2690734.htm
DWHS has recently announced the launch of their new web hosting affiliate program. This new affiliate program offers 15% on all web hosting affiliate orders.
Marina Del Rey, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2010 -- DWHS recently announced the launch of their new web hosting affiliate program, which offers 15% on all website hosting affiliate orders. All new web hosting sign ups will now receive a generous 15% on all affiliate orders for the entire time that they remain with DWHS. The new DWHS affiliate program is open to everyone and even if the customer leaves and comes back years later – so long as they have not deleted their cookies and changed their IP - they will still receive their credit. Pay outs for this program may be made out on low $50 balances and as often as the customer requires.
DWHS stands out for being one of the fastest website hosts with all in-house support and free easy to use tools such as CPanel and Fantastico. “We currently boast a 99.9% uptime and a customer life span which is twice as long as the average web hosting company, which enables us to get better long term payouts for our affiliates,” says Charles Yarbrough, President of DWHS.
Yarbrough is an active member of ALOP, a world animal rights service. He also volunteers at the Boys’ Club amongst many other community programs. DWHS has also recently begun going green through the use of lower powered servers that are ROHS compliant, as well as recycled parts. “It’s our simple way of giving back,” a smiling Yarbrough adds, “If we don’t take care of our planet, who will?”

Web Hosting Lies
I have been working with DWHS and in the web hosting industry for over ten years and there is one thing that has always bothered me. Web Hosting companies that have flat out lies and how many people still choose to do business with them.
The most obvious is Unlimited Web Hosting.
Obviously it's not unlimited otherwise websites like Youtube would not have to spend 2 million a month on their web hosting, or maybe Yahoo can get a hosting account for $6 and get rid of their multi million dollar facility. The scam is that they will kick you off if you actually use too much resource and call it something ambiguous like inodes.
The other downfall is without being able to monitor what each websites limit will be, huge spikes from random websites sharing your server will cause outages, slowdowns, and poor server performance.
The only one that grinds my gears is 100% uptime.
Well once again 100% uptime is impossible in fact no website has done it for more then ten years ever. Even icann.com the registration service that started and holds the internet together does not have a 100% uptime. Google, Yahoo, Facebook and Myspace, none have a 100% uptime. Yet it's amazing how many small start up web hosts can out do these multi million dollar corporations and the creating company of the internet.
A new way of thinking.
People should consider not using companies that are not honest, it's setting a bar for a much lower way of doing business which basically boils down who can lie the best or trick people the best.
More and more the things we buy define who we are, saving a dollar to contribute to a company full of lies is is saying something about the consumer. For example clothes are things that are Eco friendly. I hope someday people will consider all purchases with such concern about what they stand for.
