A story about how a guy discovered 2 previously unknown craters caused by asteroid impact using only Google Earth on his PC.
Maybe Google can start refining this product to look for layers deep underwater so we can start searching for atlantis or sunken treasure ships.
Sometimes you find a suspicious looking file and want to delete them but still, you are not sure. What if you delete a windows file? Arrhg.. the thought of your windows not starting smoothly and giving errors while trying to access mrbadak.com gives you the chill.
So you decided not to delete the file but seriously, can you sleep over it? What if it’s a spyware or a virus?
Well I hope you won’t be as crazy as the above but this website aims to help all of us to know, whether we can delete the file or not.
It’s WhatIsThatFile.com. Enter a filename and it will tell you about it. The website needs the public to fill in their database to keep it growing.
Ahhh.. now you can delete those files with a much calmer thought.
A teenager went through a breakup (hmmm my 2nd break-up related post) and cheered herself by playing with the features of her webcam, that can change the appearance of the person by placing glasses, moustache, hats and even change the person into a unicorn, car, shark etc.
Well her 75-second video was viewed by 155,000 people (which i think is more interested in the effects) and gave exposure to the Quickcam Orbit MP by digital toolmaker Logitech.
A bug in Firefox which allows different users in Win XP to see each other’s visited sites prompted a woman to leave her fiance of 5 years after discovering he’s been visiting online dating sites.
Steps to reproduce bug.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create 2 unique user accounts (for steps sake, let’s call the two accounts Joe and Mary) in Windows XP Home.
2. Logout and sign-in under Joe.
3. Open Firefox and go to an e-mail site or to jdate.com or wherever.
4. Attempt to log-in to the site so that Firefox will ask whether or not you want your password saved.
5. Choose not to save the password.
6. After successfully logging in and having selected the “never save password” option, logout.
7. Log-in as Mary and open Firefox.
8. Browse, browse, browse… but you don’t really have to. Just go to “View Saved Passwords,” click on the tab that will show you sites to never save passwords for, and you’ll see whatever painful site Joe denied to save a
password for.
9. Break-up with fiancé.
