Phones / Goodbye Glo Infinito Special by ahmsta(m): 9:24am On Apr 12, 2012
Woke up this morning...and to my greatest surprise...i was greeted with a message from glo

"YOUR PROFILE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CHANGED. DIAL 500 FOR MORE INFORMATION "

I was shocked...cus i never attempted to change my package what so ever since i have been on the infinito special package...so i picked my phone to talk to a customer care representative and 'she' told me the Glo infinito special has an expiry period....and now the offer has expired so all customers on that had been migrated to the cheapest plan. Which is the Glo infinito social. Too bad.....Goodbye to the 'long calls' from glo... sad

Who got this same message? Who is still enjoying the glo infinito special offer?

Computers / Google Glasses All Hype Or Reality? by ahmsta(m): 9:53pm On Apr 07, 2012
Google fans hope the Internet search leader’s proposed augmented reality glasses are more reality than hype, even if history shows companies are more often releasing videos touting technology that may take years to actually come to life.

Google released a concept video, titled "Project Glass: One day...," on April 4 in which a man only using his voice and other inputs does things commonly handled by smartphones, such as scheduling meetings, taking pictures, checking the weather, getting directions, and placing a video call. The difference is instead of having to hold a device in your hand, the data you need hovers in your field of view.



Adding to the hubbub, co-founder Sergey Brin was spotted the next day wearing a prototype of the glasses at a San Francisco social event.

In response to the publicity, people seem to be pumped up about the prospect of AR glasses anyone can wear; Google’s YouTube video already has had nearly 9 million views with most of them liking what they see.

Yet in spite of the hype and the fact that in February, The New York Times reported that Google was planning to release such high-tech glasses later this year, not everybody is holding their breath for an actual product like the one in the video.

According to Wired , at least a couple of experts say the technology Google is showing off can’t possibly deliver what the concept video depicted.

“In one simple fake video, Google has created a level of over-hype and over-expectation that their hardware cannot possibly live up to,” said Blair MacIntyre, director of the Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech.

At right, Google co-founder Sergey Brin wearing prototype glasses. Image courtesy of Robert Scoble, at left.And according to Pranav Mistry, an MIT Media Lab researcher and one of the inventors of a wearable computing system called SixthSense , “The small screen seen in the photos cannot give the experience the video is showing.”

He also said that even if Google was able to overcome technical barriers, you shouldn’t expect to see real AR glasses on the market for at least two years. That’s because of limitations with what current head-up displays can do and the fact that actual augmented reality in a display would necessitate additional eye-reading hardware, allowing for dynamic focus.

Another concern is that creating a transparent display that is easily viewable both inside and outside is tricky.

Defying the critics, consumers remain optimistic and hopeful that Google Glasses are coming soon.

Microsoft and Corning are examples of just two companies known for cool futuristic concept videos that make consumers drool.

Webmasters / How To Find Other Websites Owned By A Person by ahmsta(m): 6:07am On Apr 04, 2012
Lets assume you are on website, so maybe by the way the site is been designed or the information you gathered from it, you wish to know which other website is been owned by the same individual. You might be wondering if this is actually possible… well it is.

Yes there are some effortless workarounds (and devices) that can help you recognize domains claimed by a single person or a group as the case maybe, however you might not be able to be successful on each chase. But that doesnt me we shouldnt give it an attempt!

web domains copy 300x117 How To find Other Websites Owned By A Person


Step 1: Using the Reverse Whois Lookups with Google

When you register a domain name, your name, contact location, telephone number and different details are saved with the domain in an accessible registry database that anybody can access within the web using the Whois Lookup tool.

To do this, lets head off to whois.sc and drop in the domain name that you are attempting to investigate. This will give you contact details of the domain registrant ( that’s if its not protected) and you could probably then use this information to perform an opposite whois lookup on Google to recognize different domains owned or registered by that individual.

"TELEPHONE_NUMBER" site:whois.domaintools.com
"LOCATION" site:whois.domaintools.com

Now, you remove the Telephone Number or Location in the above search questions with the exact information from the whois database. You might likewise perform reverse Whois Lookups by name but that might bring out too many number of outcomes – telephone numbers and postal addresses are more likely to be exceptional.
Step 2: Using the Reverse IP Lookups

Some domain owners might have decided on “private” registration (Google Applications does this free of charge) and in that case, their contact parts won’t be ready in the general population whois database.

Another choice you might as well attempt is a Reverse IP lookup. These tools figure the IP location of the server that is hosting a website – eg mydomain.com as an example – and will then provide you with records of different homepages that are accommodated on that same server. So the trick is that if an individual has various homepages, he might be utilizing the same network server to accommodate them.

You could probably use Bing to perform a Reverse IP check for any domain or an even use a very simple tool like spyonweb.com – you just need to put the website domain and it will show you other alternate sites accommodated on that server. If you get many domains in the result, it potentially denotes that the individual is utilizing a shared hosting account and in this manner he would not be able to be the owner of all these domains.
Step 3: Using The Reverse Google AdSense Lookups

In the event that a domain is utilizing Google AdSense advertisements, you could probably utilize Blekko search to spot every last trace of the alternate other websites that uses the same AdSense ID.

Computers / Microsoft Launches Windows 8 Beta Version by ahmsta(m): 4:06pm On Mar 25, 2012
Microsoft has released to the public a review form of its new version Windows 8 operation
framework. Charged as the company's most
obviously generous redesign subsequent to 1995,Windows 8 joins components of the Windows Phone into a tablet and desktop setting.
Particularly, it expansively does afar with the standard PC interface in favor of an interactive application web. These apps are shown as tiles as opposed to symbols that it use to be and this can also be customized to, speak, show your music, calender, nearby climate, investments, and photos all in one consolidated section – a goal that has been named a “Metro” software style. Outdated users, in any case, moreover have the choice to return to a more traditional desktop format and run systems on this configuration
that are perfect just with older Windows products. Doing this way, Microsoft wants to
save the devotion of its most extended-time users, a large number of whom have been running DOS and making atca system platforms on PC apparatuses from all generations.
The new working framework might be utilized with phones, laptops, tablets, and PCs, and it will mechanically utilize cloud computing to synch profiles in the middle of all these devices. But examiners think that the system is greatly targeted – and will identify its most excellent luck – on the tablet platform. All the same, the Microsoft phone at present brags a look alike interface and the Windows 7 OS is famous enough that few users will see the requirement to upgrade. Some commentators have further questioned whether consumers are ready for such a large-scale overhaul of PC desktops in the
first place.
Yet as a tablet experience, Windows 8 shows up equipped to transport an exhaustive,
comprehensive, intelligent and interactive experience. It offers various applications, pan and zoom capacities, snappy and simple access, and more than enough touchscreen abilities.
Whether Microsoft will be a able to make up with Apple and Google in the tablet industry is still yet to be seen.

Politics / Angry Nigerian Children Write Jonathan Over Blasts by ahmsta(m): 8:47am On Dec 27, 2011
Dear Mr. President: We should say Merry
Christmas but we are not your goverment, we are
not in the business of deception. After almost
ten hours of gathering your thoughts to speak on
the bomb blasts that rocked the nation
yesterday, you still fell short of your own very low standards. What did you intend to say when you said Bomb
Blasts are a burden we must live with? Why do
you bother to budget over a trillion for security
if we must live the burden of insecurity? How
come you are still a president? We do not blame
you, we blame our older ones who were stupid enough to think that where you come from and
your religion was all you needed to be a
competent president. They are crying now. We all cried yesterday on
the darkest Christmas day of our short lives. While we cried and left Christmas postponed for
another year, we watched as you danced your life
away like there was no tomorrow. Is it true that
all you care about is the fact that you are the
president so whatever can happen should
happen. Last night we prayed for you. We prayed that the white men should be able to make
common sense so that we can budget for it and
then you will have it in abundance. As it is, it is
obvious sir that you are grossly lacking in
common sense. If you weren’t, you would never come out to tell a
mourning nation that it should get ready to live
with the burden of destruction and insecurity.
That was utterly insensitive and even the
dumbest of our mates, fellow Nigerian children
would never descend that low to an unprecedented level of cluelessness. We understand this is not a sane country, if this
was a sane country, your ilk will not be in a job.
Your security chiefs, yourself and your cabinet
would have been throwing resignation letters
left right and centre. But then, here is a place
where people are satisfied with just being in positions, that they are clueless about what to do
in such positions does not matter. Mr. President, Boko Haram defeated you in 2011.
What plans are you making for 2012? Do you
realise they have since improved while your
security tactics remain stop and search? Do you
realise they are far more coordinated than ever
before? Have you thought of engaging more intelligence in curbing this menace instead of
just mere brute? Yes, you have issues with
concentrating for long, why not budget for a
concentrator? That way you are conditioned to at
least focus on being the president of Nigeria
instead of our national chief chef? You are wondering where that came from? It came from
cassava bread sir. You chose the menu for 2012
but we hope you realise that Boko Haram
certainly has a menu. Please Mr. President, they will look to attack
again in the New Year, do what you have never
done before, get your security chiefs to prevent
that by all means. Contrary to your assertion, we
are not prepared to live with the burden of bomb
blasts. Get yourself to work and stop excusing your inability to deal with Boko Haram on the
premise that they are a necessity. What is that?
If you cannot lead and be a president, help
yourself and resign. Please take your vice-
president along. You are a twin set of
incompetence. This letter has been written with kind words, not
because we are in the mood to be nice to you but
because we are children and respect is a value we
want to live with but our lack of it sometimes is a
burden you must live with as long as you force us
to live with your Boko Haram burden. We wrote you a letter on subsidy yesterday but
we figured it would be better to send this before
you get our other letter. As long as your
cluelessness reigns supreme in this country, we
will always remind you of our angst and stake in
this nation. It is not by force to live in Aso Rock. So if you must, do the right things, say the right
things and learn to get the basic things right. The Bomb Blasts darkened our Christmas but
your response dampened our mood even further.
This is not the way to lead a people. If you need
help, we will nominate one of us to offer you
words of wisdom for free. As it is, you look
overwhelmed by the mere job of providing security for Nigeria let alone the other duties
you swore to carry out for Nigeria. Action point: Sack yourself sir, and take Arc.
Namadi Sambo along. It is a good place to start. Signed:
Association of Conscious Nigerian Children
