'Password' gets dethroned by '123456' as worst password

Behold the great and the worst password of 2013- the great 6-lettered '123456':

Is your password 123456 ? Then you have the world's worst password.

The Internet Security firm Splashdata released its list of the worst passwords 2013 and 'password' dethroned the password 'password' as the worst password. 

The king of terrible password got unseated as the world's most popular wprst password and we have the new king- '123456'.

The list for 2013 was influenced by the millions of Adobe passwords that were posted online by a group of hackers.

"Seeing passwords like 'adobe123' and 'photoshop' on this list offers a good reminder not to base your password on the name of the website or application you are accessing," says Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData. 

SplashData's list of frequently-used passwords shows that many people continue to put themselves at risk by using weak passwords. Some other passwords in the Top 10 include 'qwerty,' 'abc123,' '111111,' and 'iloveyou'. 

So dear readers, kindly, and for your own online safety, dont use passwords that have been listed above. You also should not set the name of someone personal or your Birthdate as your password.

You should always make your password by using alphabets-numbers-alphabets-. You may also use uppercase, lowercase letters or symbols.

Be safe...................

After Adobe, Microsoft too gets a Hack

Microsoft Blog got Hacked by the Syrian Electronics Army

The Syrian Electronics Army   has declared that it hacked into the Microsoft's official blog.
The announcement was only made after a few hours after the blog was redesigned.

A snapshot of the Articles and Tweets that were posted by the Syrian Electronics Army

The SEA posted snapshots of what were some of the taunting tweets that they posted on the blog on their site. That's a shame for Microsoft... They also posted a tweet saying "changing the CMS will not help you if your employees are hacked and they don’t know about that," as reported by The Verge.

The group posted an article namely 'Hacked by the Syrian Electronics Army'. The article has been removed yet can be founded over the Google. 

Microsoft confirmed the security breach and stated that "A targeted cyberattack temporarily affected the Microsoft Office blog. The account was quickly reset and we can confirm that no customer information was compromised".

More details from a Microsoft representative reveal the most recent attack was infiltrated by means of phishing. “A social engineering cyberattack method known as phishing resulted in a small number of Microsoft employee social media and email accounts being impacted,” a Microsoft representative said Thursday via email. “These accounts were reset and no customer information was compromised. We continue to take a number of actions to protect our employees and accounts against this industry-wide issue.”



What is the SEA?

The SEA as defined by Wikipedia.com  is The Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), also known as the Syrian Electronic Soldiers, is a collection of computer hackers who support the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Using denial of service attacks, defacement, and other methods, it mainly targets political opposition groups and western websites, including news organizations and human rights groups. The Syrian Electronic Army is the first public, virtual army in the Arab world to openly launch cyber attacks on its opponents, though the precise nature of its relationship with the Syrian government is unclear.

Fisherman gets stunned after catching a 'see-through' fish

A Fisherman was left stunned after he caught a 'see-through' shrimp like aquatic creature

The amazing Transluscent fish

Stewart Fraser, a keen fisherman from the New Zealand caught a shrimp like see through fish while swimming on the surface of an ocean about 45 miles(70 km) from the Karikari peninsula on the country's north side.

Experts believe that this fish is Salpa maggoire (salpa maxima), most commonly founded in the Southern Ocean.

When asked, he quoted "I have never seen anything like it before and have no idea what it could be.

He continued "I was in two minds whether to haul it in, but curiosity got the better of me and I decided to take a closer look."

"It felt scaly and was quite firm, almost jelly like, and you couldn’t see anything inside aside from this orange little blob inside it."

Nature's Justice: Cow comes back home !!!

A Cow came back home to the true owner after it was left in the Forests

Ever wondered hoew does the nature does justice. Here is an example of what happened in a small village named Jhaabaau in the Madhya Pradesh state of India.

This is something that can be seen only in India !!!

Few days ago, on 5^th January, two men namely Chetan Satogiya and Prabhudeva went to the Police Station and reported a conflict over their ownership claim over a cow. After doing all the investigations, no clue came in hand so the ASI Kanhiyalal Prajapati clicked an idea.  He asked Prabhudeva to take the cow home and keep her with him for 15 days. So he did. The cow was chained, and was feed all at Prabhudeva's.

On the 16^th day, Kanhiyalal asked Prabhudeva to free the cow and leave her into the forest. The cow roamed freely in the forest for an hour as she has lost her track. After sometime she crossed the village and went at her real owner's house- at Chetan's.

So that's how the nature does justice.
Its not a story, it is a true event which happened yesterday.

We Indians have potential !!!

We are the new age Indians. We are the ones who are now placing India on the Digital map. The three reasons why I say this:

#1. Facebook Bought Indian Startup:

Little Eyes Labs, an Indian Bangalore-based start-up developing mobile apps was brought by Facebook, the Social Networking Giant.

Facebook bought the LEL  for better mobile apps. 

Little Eyes Labs specializes at developing performance analysis and monitoring tools for Androi devices. The LEL was founded in August 2013 by a team of seven.

This acquisition marked the first acquisition of Facebook in India. The financial details were not disclosed by the startup, but other sources say it was bought up for less than $1.5 million.

#2. After a month, Google Brought Indian Startup:

Google, the Web giant, currently owning the world's best Search-engine and a Web-browser, android apps, e-mail, Blogging platform, etc. etc. bought another Bangalore-based 3 year old Indian startup Impermium. Founded by 2 namely  Vish Ramarao and Naveen Jamal with a third co-founder Mark Risher.

Having offices in Bangalore and California, this team specialises in developing Online Security solutions for websites and webpages. All the three founders previously worked for Yahoo. After Yahoo, the three met and founded Impermium.

Impermium already had $9 million funding in it by big co.s such as  AoL technoloies, Accel partners, etc.

The deal money have yet not been disclosed.

#3. Google Exec. Chairman says the next Google is India:

Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman once said that  seeing the Indian innovations in Internet Entrepreneurship it is possible that the next Google will be an Indian. 

A few months back, The Times Of India, that 40% of the Silicon Valley is soon to be occupied by Indians and that the Indians have already began to replace the domination of American IT employees and there is a rapid rise in the percentage of  Indian employees in the IT sector worldwide.

Hell man!!!!!!!!!! I am proud to be an Indian.

Wikipedia losing its Pageviews per Annum

Wikipedia , the free online encyclopedia has lost its 10% of page views as compared to last year

The Wikipedia managers suggesting this could be a counting error, others say its Google !!!!

The most preferred online encyclopedia- the Wikipedia has experienced a 10 % slide in its page views. A decline of about 2 billion between December 2012 and December 2013.

The most popular version of Wikipedia - the English Wikipedia experienced the slide with 12%, then the German with 17 %, and the Japanese version with a decline of 9%.

Many experts believe that the decline is the reason of Google bringing uo the new Knowledge graphs project which took off last year. It might have distracted the users from Wikipedia to Google.

SO, can I say that Google ate up in Wikipedia pageviews ???

Want Privacy ?? Try the Blackphone

Tired of the "They Are Watching You" Feeling????

Think the NSA or other spying agencies are watching over you???

Phil Zimmerman with the
Blackphone

The latest leaks from the Wistleblower 'Snowden' show that the NSA(National Spying Agency) collects nearly 200 million twxt messsages and phone calls a day over the network and even took out the credit card numbers and secured passwords of the populatuion worldwide.

Does that scare you, well I got because our privacies are not private at all. Now you wont need to.

The Solution :

Introducing the 'Blackphone'. 
Being developed by US company Silent Circle and a Spanish handset maker Geeksphone, this "snoop-resistant" phone will be able to send and recieve encrypted messages and calls. 

It is being described by the developers as "the world's first smartphone to put privacy and control ahead of everything else."

The Tech:

Blackphone will be sending and receiving encrypted text, voice calls, data and everything else using the cryptography(a technique to mask and encrypt data, and communications). 


What does the Developers say :


Phil Zimmerman, the president of Silent Circles and the co-founder of the project quoted
"The number one priority of creating Blackphone is to uphold the objectives of privacy .
It's not to serve some other business model of monetising customer data."



Even though some details haven't been made clear yet such as what will be the price of this phone, what will be the other specs of this phone, do you need two blackphones to send and recieve encrypted communications.

UK Independence Party counciller blames bad weather on Gay Marriage

David Silvester,
who said thgat the
countries bad weather
 is to be blamed
on same-sex marriages.

David Silvester, the Councillor of the Independence Party- who is in opposition with the Conservative Party of the UK said that the UK President's legalising the gay & same-sex marriage is the cause for the country's bad weather and floods.

He said that the President has acted 'arrogantly against the gospel'. 

The gospel is the singularly most important communication of God to man. In Jesus, who is God the Son, we have the revelation of God’s love and sacrifice that saves us from God's righteous judgment upon sinners.

The matter came out when David wrote a letter to The Henley Standard writing:
‘The scriptures make it abundantly clear that a Christian nation that abandons its faith and acts contrary to the Gospel (and in naked breach of a coronation oath) will be beset by natural disasters such as storms, disease, pestilence and war.’

The Henley-on-Thames councillor in 2012 said he had writen to Mr. Cameron in april, 2012 that disasters would fall on the country if he legalises the 'same-sex marriage'.

The UK IP said that they did not share Mr. Silvester's views but did defended his rigfht to state them.

5 Games that every Indian Child would have played in a Game Parlor:

Presenting to You the list of parlor games every Indian child would have played in his lifetime:

Childhood is the time that we cherish the most. Every child used to do nothing but play. Then, Technol;ogy ruined us. We now have access to play whatever the game we wanna play. whether on PSP, PS, PC, or Nintendo. 

Now, I should do the real talking, so these are the games I bet no Indian would have forgot to play in his/her childhood that he would've played in a Game Parlor.......

1. The Tekken Series:

Developed by Japanese developer namco for the PS series, this game has a legacy of more than 6 franchises. The first game was released for the PS1. The most popular in my locality and as stated by my Friends, and even relatives is Tekken 3.

 Now available on every gaming platform. Its a multiplayer, arcade game where a player has to go through 9 stages to beat the Ogre and to complete the game. The latest installment being tekken 6, where you can have more than 1 players switching between the fights to beat the opponent. The most favorite player have been Paul, Law, Jin, Nina, Heihachi, and above all The Ogre.


2. Super Mario:

The one to be mentioned & my dear love.
First introduced in 1985 on the Nintendo, this Japanese game has so much versions of this game that I cant tell. This game has one lead character - Mario. I, like other children still love playing this simple but the best game. I loved the tone that used to play when the game was on. 
As sources say, the latest installment is the 2010 version.


3. Grand Theft Auto:

The 16+ game and the mostly played console game ever!!!!
Yeah. that's how I would love to describe this Game.GTA!!!!

This game talked of the f*.. word, stealing, robbing, killing, snatching, the Hood, the Lust, and how a boy who started by taking injustice to doing such. This game proved to be a  Milestone in the world of gaming for Rockstar Games.

It was a game where you can do everything. You can fight, you can ride, you can even do Romance here. The most B-E-AU-tee-fool thing was Cheats. You can see every game parlour have a laminated printed piece of paper, kept as an antique.
The latest installment being the 2013 version- "GTA 5" which in the first 24 hours of his launch- broke all the records.



4. Need For Speed:

For every boy who prefers Cars and Muscles over Girls just like me, this is the Paradise...


Developed by EA (Electronic Arts), this video game marked the history. For me, the first game that could so beautifully il'lust'rate each "baby" that no other game ever could.

Playing the Game would seem as if you are watching the Cars just in front of you. I could feel it. Not just the bodywork but the performance too was so realistic. This game set milestones for others to watch. 

My favorite being the NFS MostWanted 2005, the latest installment is NFS Rivals.



5. GOD OF WAR:


Spill the Red!!! 
God of War games series is that game which made you believe there was such.

Developed by Santa Monica Studio and available for the PS platform, this is a game to save the Athena. The developments of the game began in 2002.
The latest installment for the Game based on PS3 - God Of WAR 4: Ascension.
