Facebook Ending on March 15

facebook ending: Will Facebook end on March 15, 2011? This is the latest trend circulating all over the web. Don’t worry folks, Facebook will NOT be closing down. How did this rumor get started?

According to World News Insight , it started off by the actual website and then of course spread like wildfire on the popular social network Twitter. I know some folks are seeing this headline, and saying “OMG! What am I going to do without my Facebook?” No need to panic. Look at it this way, at least this rumor isn’t about another celebrity passing away.

Even more aggravating the same website ( Weekly World News )who had Michelle Obama pregnant, and Michael Jackson spotted on the moon is also reporting about Facebook closing down. They quote ” Starting March 15, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook account.” Don’t believe it. Like I mentioned in an earlier article this month, you can’t really believe this website. Yes, some of their stories are true, but lately they are all hoaxes.

So don’t be afraid to get that dress and have the pretty looks on your uniforms. Remember that your outfit and coats will tell how serious you are about what you are doing.

Facebook’s down time

When parents saw their children run outside to play, and productivity shot up at offices around the world, people knew something was wrong.

Yes, Facebook had gone down.

For a couple of hours Thursday, many of the social network’s 550 million users found they could not view one another’s wedding photos, share stories from TheOnion.com or chat about how bored they were. They couldn’t even let their friends know, via Facebook, that Facebook was down. During the outage, the company said it was “experiencing some site issues causing Facebook to be slow or unavailable for some users.”

“We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible,” a representative said in an e-mail.

The problems eased about two hours later, when Facebook said the issue had been resolved and it apologized for any inconvenience. But some users said they were still having problems Thursday afternoon.

The downtime was relatively rare for Facebook. There was a brief glitch in April, as well as some slowness issues earlier this week.

A company official said the outage was not the result of an attack by a hacker.

The problems come at a busy time for Facebook, which is awaiting the release next week of “The Social Network,” a movie that portrays founder and Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg in an unflattering light. (A Times story in Friday’s paper covers the uneasy relationship between the company and the movie.)

On Wednesday, news outlets reported that Zuckerberg was donating $100 million to the Newark, N.J., school district. The company’s 26-year-old founder rose on Forbes’ list of richest people, with the magazine estimating his worth at $6.9 billion, a number that would put him above Apple Inc. chief Steve Jobs, who clocks in at $6.1 billion.

StarCraft II scores 1.5 Million Copies In Just 48 Hours

It seems that StarCraft II has become a hit with gamers, as a total of 1.5 million copies of the game have been sold in the first 48 hours. StarCraft II took Activision Blizzard 12 years to develop and the company invested a considerable amount in the games development.

It took the original StarCraft a year to sell 1.5 million copies, so the second installment selling 1.5 million copies in just 48 hours is impressive.

Windows XP downgrade rights extended to 2020

Think Windows XP is going away? Think again. Microsoft has announced that it will be extending the life of Windows XP yet again, offering “downgrade rights” to companies who buy copies of Windows 7 for another 10 years.

Downgrade rights allow a user who has bought a later version of the Windows operating system to remove it and install the older version in its stead without paying for a second license. And, as Computerworld notes, with 74 percent of businesses still running Windows XP, the OS isn’t going away anytime soon.

It’s not really Microsoft’s fault: While Windows 7 has been generally well received, large enterprises like to standardize computers on a single operating system to make maintenance and training easier, and if a business still has older hardware installed, that usually means an older OS is required. When those businesses do get upgraded, it will likely be all at once.

Downgrade rights let them bide their time until they’re ready to do that.Read Full Story…

Turn ReadyBoost on or off for a storage device

 Are you a windows 7 user? Then this tip is for you! Read and you will never regret.

ReadyBoost can speed up your computer by using storage space on most USB flash drives and flash memory cards.

To turn ReadyBoost on or off

1. Plug a flash drive or flash memory card into your computer.

2. In the Autoplay dialog box, under General options, click Speed up my system.

3. In the Properties dialog box, click the ReadyBoost tab, and then do one of the following:

- To turn ReadyBoost off, click Do not use this device.

- To use the maximum available space on the flash drive or memory card for ReadyBoost, click Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost. Windows will leave any files already stored on the device, but it’ll use the rest to boost your system speed.

-To use less than the maximum available space on the device for ReadyBoost, click Use this device, and then move the slider to choose the amount of available space on the device you want to use.

4. Click OK.

Move the slider to choose how much space you want to designate for boosting your system speed.

Note:

• If AutoPlay doesn’t open, it might be disabled. For more information, see Troubleshoot AutoPlay problems.

• For ReadyBoost to effectively speed up your computer, the flash drive or memory card should have at least 1 gigabyte (GB) of available space. If your drive or card doesn’t have enough available space for ReadyBoost, you’ll see a message telling you to free some space on it. For best results, use a flash drive or flash memory card with at least double the amount of available space as the amount of memory (RAM) in your computer.

Lenovo reveals 11.6-inch IdeaPad U1 detachable tablet

It seems that new enterprise and SMB-class computers were not all that Lenovo had planned for CES 2010. Made publicly just before the start of the show, the IdeaPad U1 Hybrid tablet PC is an 11.6-inch multitouch system that’s part laptop, part slate tablet and part smartbook. Ohhh this is another wow for this year from Lenovo. I currently owned the Lenovo ideapad 10.2 with 1GB of RAM, Intel Atom N70 processor which is just suited for my net activities and planning to make this stuff in addition.

How that could be? The 1.7kg system reportedly has a retractable multitouch screen that can unhinge from the main computer body–which houses an ultra-low voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processor running Windows 7 Home Premium–and work on its own as a slate tablet, thanks to an embedded Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 16GB solid state drive and a Linux environment.

Take note of the numbers: Two processors and two operating systems.

The device is accounted to be available in June for almost US$1k in the United States. Lenovo did say it had more tricks up its sleeve for revealing during CES 2010, so I’ll be looking for it to appear in the flesh on the showfloor.

I can still Watch Movies Online Free with this so cool. Watch out for great stuff coming to you this 2010 on CES.

MagicJack’s next act: disappearing cell phone fees

LAS VEGAS -The company behind the magicJack, the cheap Internet phone gadget that’s been heavily promoted on TV, has made a new version of the device that allows free calls from cell phones in the home, in a fashion that’s sure to draw protest from cellular carriers.

The new magicJack uses, without permission, radio frequencies for which cellular carriers have paid billions of dollars for exclusive licenses.

YMax Corp., which is based in Palm Beach, Fla., said this week at the International Consumers Electronics Show that it plans to start selling the device in about four months for $40, the same price as the original magicJack. As before, it will provide free calls to the U.S. and Canada for one year.

The device is, in essence, a very small cellular tower for the home.

The size of a deck of cards, it plugs into a PC, which needs a broadband Internet connection. The device then detects when a compatible cell phone comes within 8 feet, and places a call to it. The user enters a short code on the phone. The phone is then linked to the magicJack, and as long as it’s within range (YMax said it will cover a 3,000-square-foot home) magicJack routes the call itself, over the Internet, rather than going through the carrier’s cellular tower. No minutes are subtracted from the user’s account with the carrier. Any extra fees for international calls are subtracted from the user’s account with magicJack, not the carrier.

Google hopes to change wireless retail game with Nexus One

It wasn’t much of a secret, really, but the sleek, Android-powered Nexus One is finally here, and yes: you can buy it directly from Google, over the Web. As expected, the unlocked, no-contract Nexus One will cost you a pretty penny, but subsidized versions will also be available from T-Mobile and … what’s this, Verizon Wireless? You betcha. Announced Tuesday during a press conference at Google’s Mountain View headquarters, the Nexus One (designed by phone maker HTC under Google’s strict supervision) is available for purchase right now on Google’s new Web store rather than through a carrier—a twist that some observers see as a paradigm shift in the wireless market, where the balance of power is usually tipped in the carrier’s favor.

Then again, Google is sticking with the practice of charging an arm and a leg for an unlocked, no-contract handset. If you want it unlocked for use with any SIM card and without a contract, the phone will set you back a cool $530. Here in the U.S., you’ll be able to use the Nexus One with either an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card; that said, AT&T users will only be able to tap into the carrier’s EDGE data network, while T-Mobile customers can use both EDGE and 3G.
