RomanceHow Does A Girl Feel When Fronted By A Guy? by Castos(op): 12:39pm On Aug 06, 2012
I don't have a girl friend and I've not fronted any girl(true talk). I've witnessed frontings of all kinds, ones done by my pals and people I don't know. Some girls falls at the spot, some don't, some give excusses, others form for a while and fall. But my question is. . . . . How does girls feel when fronted or shacked like some of us call it?

WebmastersFacebook: We Have Not Less Than 83 Million Fake Users. by Castos(op): 8:38pm On Aug 02, 2012
If you’ve observed a Facebook account – especially Corporate –
suddenly expand overnight or been promised ‘Facebook Likes’ in
24 hours, well now Facebook explains why.
The company, in filings this week, has confirmed there are more
than 83 million fake users on the social network as 8.7% of its 955
million active users might not be real.
This follows aggressive reporting from the BBC that pointed out
disrepancies in the Facebook system and which the company
promptly denied.
See excerpts from the BBC report today:
Duplicate profiles made up 4.8% of the fakes, user-misclassified
accounts amounted to 2.4%, and 1.5% of users were described as
“undesirable”.
The estimate came at a time of growing concern about the value of
marketing on the platform.
In total, the company said it estimated there were 83.09 million fake
users, which it classified in three groups.
The largest group of “fakes” were duplicates, which the company
defined as “an account that a user maintains in addition to his or
her principal account.”
Others were described as “user-misclassified” where, Facebook
explained “users have created personal profiles for a business,
organisation, or non-human entity such as a pet”.
Finally, “undesirable” accounts were profiles deemed to be in
breach of Facebook’s terms of service. Typically, this means
profiles which have been used for sending out spam messages or
other content.
Facebook, whose business model relies on targeted advertising, is
coming under increased scrutiny over the worth of its advertising
model which promotes the gathering of “likes” from users.
When a BBC investigation last month concluded that a rash of fake
profiles was a cause for concern for Facebook advertisers, the
social network was dismissive.
“We’ve not seen evidence of a significant problem,” a spokesman
told us.
Now its own figures show that more than 80 million of its global
audience may be in effect worthless to advertisers – either
duplicate accounts, or spammers or perhaps cats and dogs.
The problem is particularly acute in developing countries like
Indonesia and Turkey where Facebook is enjoying rapid growth.
A number of advertisers have been challenging Facebook to prove
that the clicks they are receiving on their ads are “real” – these
figures will provide them with added ammunition.
“We generate a substantial majority of our revenue from
advertising,” the company said in its filing.
“The loss of advertisers, or reduction in spending by advertisers
with Facebook, could seriously harm our business.”
Last month, the BBC’s technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones
set up a fake company called VirtualBagel to investigate allegations
of fake “likes”.
His investigation found that the large majority of “likes” for the
fake firm originated from the Middle East and Asia.
Many users appeared to be false, such as “Ahmed Ronaldo” –
apparently a Cairo-based user who is employed by Spanish
football club Real Madrid.
Last week, digital distribution firm Limited Press alleged that, based
on its own analytics software, 80% of clicks on its advertisements
within Facebook had come from fake users.
In a post on its Facebook page, the company said: “Bots were
loading pages and driving up our advertising costs. So we tried
contacting Facebook about this. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t reply.

PoliticsWhy Do African Presidents keep dying? by Castos(op): 8:17pm On Aug 02, 2012
The curse of the African president strikes again. This time, its
victim was Ghana’s John Atta Mills, who complained of pains on
Monday last week and was dead by Tuesday afternoon. Mills was
the latest in a disturbingly long line of African presidents to be
unexpectedly and unceremoniously despatched to the Great
Presidential Palace in Sky while still firmly ensconced in a real one.
Mills is the third this year alone. Before him was Malawi’s Bingu wa
Mutharika, who had a heart attack in April after over-exerting
himself in an illicit sexual encounter with a female MP (according to
this scandalous report, which, as much as I want it to be true, does
strain the definition of credibility).
And in January, Guinea-Bissau’s Malam Bacai Sanha succumbed in
Paris after spending most of his two years in office in hospitals.
Not Guinea Bissau hospitals, of course. As a rule, African
presidents don’t leave themselves at the mercy of their own health
systems, not even in Guinea Bissau, which has the continent’s best
drug supplies (a fringe benefit of being a narco-state).
Go back just a little bit further and the list of dead sitting African
presidents gets alarmingly longer. Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi last
year, although his circumstances were rather unusual (as, of
course, was he).
In 2010, it was Nigeria’s Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. In 2009, Omar
Bongo of Gabon. In 2008, Zambia’s Levy Mwanawasa and Guinea’s
Lansana Conté.
Maybe it’s a presidential thing. It’s a stressful job. But other
continents aren’t affected in the same way. Since 2008, Africa has
lost eight heads of state. There are only 54 states. That’s a
presidential mortality rate of nearly 15%; slightly higher than the
infant mortality rate of Sierra Leone, which is the second highest in
the world. In other words, a baby in Sierra Leone has more chance
of surviving its first five years than African presidents do of
getting through a few terms in office.
Contrast this with other continents. In the same time period, there
was just the one presidential fatality each from Asia (the Dear
Leader from North Korea), Europe (Poland’s Lech Kaczy?ski, in a
plane crash), and North America (David Thomson of Barbados, from
cancer). South America’s leaders all somehow managed to keep
themselves alive, an impressive feat especially considering Hugo
Chavez’s increasingly shaky public appearances. Same for
Australasia.
So what’s happening in Africa – why do our presidents keep dying
on us?
It’s tempting to resort to the old cliché about death being the only
thing that can separate African leaders from their grip on power.
But the facts don’t support this analysis. It’s certainly true of
Bongo, Conte and Gaddafi, all of whom were old-school dictators
who were never going to stop.
But the other five were all within their constitutional term limits. And
they hadn’t even fiddled with those limits yet. Mutharika looked like
he was about to, but never got the chance. Mills, Sanha and
Yar’Adua hadn’t even made it to a second term.
So the problem must lie somewhere else. Perhaps it’s something to
do with age. Political success tends to come later to African
leaders, a function perhaps of some holding on to it for too long
and a long tradition of veneration for one’s elders. The average
age of African heads of state is 62.5. That’s pension time, or
nearing it, in most countries. To give you a bit of context, the
European equivalent is just 55. This is also the average age of
American presidents at the time of their inauguration. Barack
Obama is 50. David Cameron is 45.
Given that 62.5 is just an average, and the continent does have a
few young leaders – the DRC’s Joseph Kabila is just a pipsqueak
at 41, while Swaziland’s King Mswati III is 44 and still virile (he
needs to be with all those wives) – it follows that there are also
some very old leaders.
Plenty of Zimbabweans have questioned why Robert Mugabe is still
alive and kicking at 89 when so many younger presidents have
fallen before him. Mwai Kibaki of Kenya is 80, and rumours abound
that he’s exactly as alert as 80-year-olds are expected to be:
that is, not very.
Age is certainly a factor in Africa’s high presidential mortality rate,
probably the main factor. It’s a truism that the longer you live, the
more chances you have to die. Life is really just one long
countdown to death; you don’t know when it’s coming, but it’s
always getting closer.
Going by the averages, African presidents are more than seven
years closer to their deaths than their European counterparts. The
recent record seems to confirms this.
But it’s not just about age. Bear in mind too that basic health
indicators in Africa are, on the whole, lower than any other
continent.

ComputersMicrosoft Releases Outlook.com For Next Billion Mailboxes by Castos(op):
As part of its mission to reimagine personal email from the datacenter all the way to the user experience,the software giant, Microsoft yesterday delivered on that goal with a preview of its new Outlook.com, modern billion mailboxes. In a telephone meeting hosted by the Windows Corporate Communications Team(WCCT). With this development, Microsoft said that it was right time to reimagine email by introducing a preview of Outlook.com. This indeed, a break from the past by building a brand new service from the ground up. Highlights of the solution, according to Microsoft will include the following: Modern experience for modern browsers and devices: Part of the highlights, according to Microsoft is that the product gives a fresh, clean user interface that is intuitive to use, works across your devices with Exchange ActiveSync, and gets the clutter out of user's way with 60% fewer pixels in the header and 30% more message visible in your inbox. In addition to this, there is on display ads or large search boxes that take up that extra space. Connected to friends and co-workers: Additionally, the Outlook.com preview, Microsoft explained has the capability to be connected to Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google, and soon, Skype. With the solution, according to Microsoft, users can they pictures of their friends, messages, status updates, chats, calls, all powered by an always up-to-date contact list that is similarly connected to those networks. Smart and powerful: Outlook.com, the software giant added has the ability to automatically posts your messages from contacts, newsletters, shipping updatesp, and social updates, and with sweep you can move or eleve them in a few clicks. Accordingly, the service includes free Office Web Apps - Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote, as well as SkyDrive. Puts you in control: The solution, Microsoft explained further keeps user's personal mail personal (on ads in person-to-person mails and on scanning your personal mail to server ads), and has great tools for power users. Interestingly, all the basics virtually unlimited storage and industry-leading span protection are include in the in Outlook.com. It would be recalled that weanail was first introduced with HoTMaiL in 1996. Back them, it was novel to have a personal email address you could keep for life - one that was totally independent from your business or internet service provider. Eight years later, Google introduced Gmail, which included 1GB of storage and inbox search. And while Gmail and other webmail services like Hotmail have added some features since then, not much has fundamentally changed in webmail over the last 8 years - though yesterday's frustrations about the small size of inboxers are now things of the part. At the same time, email is becoming less and less useful as inboxer become cluttered with newsletters and social updates, and people increasingly keep up their personal connections in social networks instead of their email address books. All of this has led many to hope for a better solution so you don't have to settle for today's.
