Internet is Influential
April 11th, 2013 by Kitch
Where is the best place to get sushi? Where is the nearest art museum? What is the actress wearing on TV? What is the name of the song with the lyrics that goes something like… ? All of these questions and anything else that you can think of can be answered by the internet. The internet is literally going to tell you what to do, where to go, what to like and what not to like. It’s amazing and at the same time scary.
Almost everyone owns a computer and is using the internet. I literally can not think of anything that won’t be found in the internet. This is why children should not be given so much freedom exploring the internet. There are so many things that doesn’t need to be seen by young ones such as violence, pornography, death, etc. Parents need to keep a close watch of their children when they’re using the computer.
Chris P. Bacon
February 14th, 2013 by Kitch
Meet Chris P. Bacon, the newest internet sensation. This one month old piglet is impressive and strong despite being disabled at birth. The video of him struggling to use his make-shift wheel chair got so many views (490,ooo and counting) in a matter of two weeks. The story of how it all began is as heartwarming as the video itself. Chris P Bacon was dropped off to veterinarian Len Lucero’s clinic by an old client who could not care for the disabled pig. Lucero saw something special about the pig and made a tiny wheelchair, making use of children’s toy parts. Chris is such a trooper because though he clearly seems to be struggling, he still tries hard to move. Lucero said “He’s cute. He grunts. And he’s got a pretty cute little wheelchair,” Of course this made people’s hearts melt. There are two more Youtube videos of Chris. One is of him with a yellow duck and another of him waking up in an incubator. All videos are incredibly cute.

It’s very easy to get lost in the internet for hours. If you’re bored and you got nothing to do on a weekend, the best way to save money is to just stay at home, turn on your computer and visit the funniest websites on the internet. This is a way to release stress because as you might already know, laughter is the best medicine. Here is a list of the most entertaining, most ridiculous and funny websites in no particular order:
1. Passive Aggressive Notes – This is a whole site showing pictures of real notes written by people oozing with passive aggressive, almost awkward notes that come out so hilarious.
2. 9gag – this site is filled with comical images submitted by users . It gets 1 billion page views per month.
3. Very Demotivational – Those motivational posters you normally see at an office with black border and inspiring quotes, this site is filled with the opposite of that.
4. College Humor - Has videos, images, and articles all submitted by users. Majority of which are “college” humor and can turn green.
Dating With Benefits
December 15th, 2012 by Kitch
Just when you thought things can’t get more entertaining (or just plain depressing) in the internet world, well think again. Finding love is hard, probably even harder if you have a specific taste. (rich, chubby Asian?) Luckily, the internet makes it possible for just about every weird or normal person alive to find a potential partner. Dating sites have been around for some years now but recently, these sites have gone way over the top. Take for example the site datingwithbenefits.com, this website is as honest as you can get. It’s specifically made for incredibly wealthy men and women who would willing pay and shower their dates with presents for a tiny chance they can get laid. To put it in a more straight forward way, it’s for sugar daddy/sugar mommy! The website would like to put it in a more appealing way – for wealthy men who don’t have time to go through traditional dating since they are too busy taking care of business.
Obviously, we all know what this site is all about.

Whether you are on a trip to Nicaragua or residing there, it is tremendously imperative that you have access to your official mails and this is where Microsoft Exchange server helps you!
If you configure your wireless gadget with hosted Microsoft Exchange Server, checking your mails on your device becomes hassle-free. Ahead of setting up with Exchange mail hosting, check the data plans offered by the providers. Also, if you are not from Nicaragua and if you want to use hosted Exchange service, check with your home country’s local wireless providers about their arrangements with Nicaragua’s carriers. Also, find out with Nicaragua’s wireless providers about the schemes that they offer. In Nicaragua, Claro is biggest wireless provider.

Facebook just one upped the intimacy level of the member’s profiles by adding a new feature, the Facebook couple’s page. If you go to facebook.com/us you will be directed to a mash up of posts and photos of you and your significant other. This new addition did not get a good review from many users. There’s a certain “eeeeww” factor when your conversations with the person you’re in a relationship with is compiled and revealed for the people to see. It would probably only be appreciated by the long term partners/ married couples. This feature is added by programmers of Facebook. It means that Users do not have any control over the existence of the page or any direct control over the content that appears on it. but the little bit of good news about this is it is up to the users what they want to share and who they share it with.

What is a Meme?
October 10th, 2012 by Dylan
In the blogging world, the concept of a meme is viral; it propagates and it is mutating as it propagates. It originated from a context that was observed in blogging; a person will blog about a certain topic and some people who gets to read the blog do the same thing or same post on their blogs with a slight difference or modifications. Sometimes, a meme can be a list of questions created by one blogger, and other bloggers will answer the questions and tag other bloggers to do the same and so on. Some are in the form of activity like weekly posting of photographs or poetry.
Informatively, meme is also a term for the genes of a culture.

Multi-lingual User Interface—the name says it all! Isn’t it? Yes, SharePoint Server 2010 has introduced the Multi-lingual User Interface (MUI), which is available with every type of site—even the SharePoint Server Central Administration site. The Multi-lingual User Interface should not be considered as a translating tool, instead it is tool that allows users to select a display language for a site and then display the Site title and description, SharePoint out-of-the-box menus and actions, Out-of-the-box columns, Custom columns (list or site), Navigation bar links, and Managed Metadata services in different languages.
In order to use the Multi-lingual User Interface, you should install the language pack on your server. After you install the necessary language packs you will have the option to enable the multilingual user interface on a per site basis using site settings. Once you enable alternate languages, users will see a language picker control in the top right of the page where they can switch the site to the language of their choice. Even SharePoint Foundation 2010 enjoys this feature.
Below given parts of the SharePoint user interface are actually impacted by the Multi-lingual User Interface:
* All the standard SharePoint user interface elements are translated
* Navigation menu’s also support multilingual scenario’s with the MUI – if you switch your language and translate specific menu nodes in your navigation – these changes are language specific
* The headings for list columns
* The managed metadata field type also supports multilingual scenarios.
Note that the English language is used for the following out-of-the-box labels: Site Actions, Browse, Page, Home, Libraries, Lists, Discussions, Recycle Bin, All Site Content.
