iphone

A new application for the iPhone has been released. The app is named Trapster and it attempts to prevent you from getting speeding tickets while out and about.

The free application tracks you with GPS and represents you as a dot on a map. If you see a police officer with a speeding radar gun, you simply tap the screen. The software then alerts all other Trapster users in the area to the whereabouts of the speeding camera.

As this system relies on the honesty of people updating the system it might be questionable as to the accuracy. Maybe it only works if two users confirm the camera in the same spot… which would then mean a lot of users have to use this system to make it effective given the potential amount of cameras that are dotted about the city.

With it being free it has the potential to save you money if you avoid getting a ticket, but you just need to be sure that you are not the first to tag the camera. It might be best you just decide not to speed then all will be good!

What makes a good news photograph

As you're thinking about taking news photographs, think about what constitutes a good picture.
Most importantly, it will be of interest to a wide audience. It may depict an event in the news: a train crash, a clash in the streets, deliriously happy fans the moment the big game is won.
Or it may not be of a strictly 'news' event. It could be an out-of-the-ordinary moment in time in an otherwise ordinary day. Something that has novelty and impact. For example, a model falling over her huge heels on the catwalk, or a fox running down a city street, or a fire station catching fire.
Uniqueness is compelling. A picture that no one else took has much more news value than one taken alongside a rank of other photographers. A good news picture will tell a story without words. It will have context by showing the surrounding scene, or show the emotion on the faces of the people in the picture.
Timeliness is critical. Whatever the content, a news picture can lose its value in a short space of time. News events move quickly, and the shot of a mini tornado you took last week may have been destined for the front page when you took it, but of no interest to a newspaper or a website a week later. There are exceptions if the event is of huge significance and rarity. For example, a photo of a tsunami wave could still be of great interest days after it struck.
Restraint is important. Please remember, absolutely no photo is worth harassing others, putting yourself or others in danger, or getting in trouble with the law.
We're looking forward to seeing your pictures.

More Powerful than the Dollar: Everquest Platinum

Everquest is an online role playing game (RPG) that has enjoyed unprecedented growth. There are many reasons that can help explain this amazing growth, but perhaps the most obvious reason is that Everquest is part of the Internet.

The Internet has a viral nature. That means anything that is worth telling other people about (whether good or bad), will spread like wild fire. Great software, killer content, or great games - they all grow very quickly. With the rising trend of online social communities, the viral effect is further compounded.

Everquest, as an online RPG game, is highly addictive. The game is free of charge, and anyone with a modern desktop computer can download and join this game. To start, they have to first create an account and choose a character that they resonate with. There are close to 20 different characters to choose from. Each character will have its own strengths and weaknesses. They may be endowed with great physical strength, magical powers or healing powers. Each character class will come in useful in different parts of the game.

Due to the nature of the game, it is not uncommon to see players band together to form teams. In these teams, they travel the virtual world together, fighting other evil characters and collecting items. When playing in a team, it's easier to level up and overcome the obstacles that stand in the way. Soon, friends are inviting other friends to join in the game. Before long, Everquest has become one of the most popular online game.

In the virtual world, the game uses a currency known as Platinum. Platinum helps a character to level up quickly. They can be used to buy more powerful items, which improve the overall statistics of a player's character.

This is important for an Everquest player because no one likes to remain as a low level character for long. Low level characters are restricted to certain levels of the game, and game play is also harder as the characters are easier to die.

The only problem with leveling up is that it takes such a long time! As a result, many younger game players have grown impatient.

A player can spend hours and hours in the game, just to level up a character so that they can join their friends on more exciting adventures. In a hurry to level up, many have turned to exchanging real cash for fake cash - Everquest Platinum. Mostly, these players have just grown tired waiting for their characters to level up or seek out the best equipment. With enough Platinum, they can buy the strongest equipment and level up much faster.

Today, Everquest has grown so immensely popular that its players are willing to pay more than 1 US dollar for 1 Everquest Platinum. That means the virtual currency has grown stronger than one of the most powerful currency in the world - the USD.

In a game where success or failure depends very much on the equipment, demand for Platinum is ever increasing. As more and more players join the community, the price for Everquest Platinum can only go one way - Northwards.

Yahoo! Recently added two names of the new domain for his email address that is @ymail.com And @rocketmail.com . When beforehand was introduced the related domain the country's code like yahoo.co.id, the election of the email address that beforehand has been available [nama saya] @yahoo.com, could not be made [nama saya] @yahoo.co.id, so continue to his name election increasingly far from that was wanted, for example be forced used [nama saya2009] @yahoo.com or [nama saya2009] @yahoo.co.id. This because already because of the number of owners of the Yahoo account! That around 266 million.

With the increase in two names of this new domain, Yahoo! Want his user to have the choice was better in his email address and for example for me, when I was not lucky to register the email address maseko [at] yahoo.com, currently I could and succeeded in registering the email address maseko [at] ymail.com, with tampilan and same facilities precisely with Yahoo! Mail that acted at this time. By using two names of this new domain, when would login and accessed the email, Yahoo! ID that was used used the complete email address.

In the matter of the use of the email address, Google and Microsoft already a step better by enabling him the use of the name of the domain personally for the email address. Possibly also the use of the name of the new domain to Yahoo! Mail was preparations in the provisions of email facilities by the name of the domain personally, and eventually Yahoo! ID was the address Yahoo of the user's email! Mail completely like that was applied for the name of the domain that at this time has been provided.
