THE MAKING OF ORKUT

A guy lost his girlfriend in a train accident....

but the gal's name nowhere appeared in the dead list. This guy grew up n became IT technical architect in his late 20's, achievement in itself!!

He hired developers from the whole globe and plan to make a software where he could search for his gf through the web..

Things went as planned...

n he found her, after losing millions of dollars and 3 long years!!

It was time to shut down the search operation, when the CEO of Google had a
word with this guy n took over this application,

This Software made a whopping 1 billion dollars profit in its first year,

which we today know as ORKUT.

The guy's name is ORKUT BUYUKKOTEN Yes its named after him only. Today he is paid a hefty sum by Google for the things we do like scrapping.

He is expected to b the richest person by 2009..

ORKUT BUYUKKOTEN today has 13 assistants to monitor his scrapbook & 8 to

monitor his friends-list. He gets around 20,000 friend-requests a day & about 85,000 scraps!!!

Some other Cool Facts about this guy:

* He gets $12 from Google when every person registers to this website.

* He also gets $10 when you add somebody as a friend.

* He gets $8 when your friend's friend adds you as a friend & gets $6 if

anybody adds you as friend in the resulting chain.

* He gets $5 when you scrap somebody & $4 when somebody scraps you.

* He also gets $200 for each photograph you upload on Orkut.

* He gets $1.5 when somebody else becomes your fan.

* He even gets $1 every time you logout of Orkut.

5 Simple, But Useful CSS Properties

This post is about 5 useful CSS properties that you should be very familiar with, but will most likely rarely use. I’m not talking about the new fancy CSS3 properties. I’m referring to the old CSS2 properties such as: clip, min-height, white-space, cursor, and display that are widely supported by all browsers. So, don’t miss this post because you might be surprised how useful they are.
1. CSS Clip
The clip property is like a mask. It allows you to mask the content of an element in a rectangle shape. To clip an element: you must specify the position to absolute. Then, specify the top, right, bottom, and left value relative to the element.

Image Clip Example (demo)
The following example shows you how to mask an image using clip property. First, specify the <div> element to position: relative. Next, specify the <img> element to position: absolute and the rect values accordingly.

.clip {
position: relative;
height: 130px;
width: 200px;
border: solid 1px #ccc;
}
.clip img {
position: absolute;
clip: rect(30px 165px 100px 30px);
}
Image Resize and Clip (demo)
In this example, I’m going to show you how to resize and clip images. My original images are in rectangle format. I want to scale it down by 50% to create a thumbnail gallery in a square format. So, I used the width and height property to resize the images and mask them with the clip property. Then, I used the left property to shift the images to the left by 15px.

.gallery li {
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
position: relative;
width: 70px;
height: 70px;
border: solid 1px #000;
}
.gallery img {
width: 100px;
height: 70px;
position: absolute;
clip: rect(0 85px 70px 15px);
left: -15px;
}
2. Min-height (demo)
The min-height property allows you to specify the minimum height of an element. It is useful when you need to balance the layout. I used it on my job board to ensure the content area is alway taller than the sidebar.

.with_minheight {
min-height: 550px;
}
Min-height hack for IE6
Note: min-height is not supported by IE6, but there is a min-height hack.
.with_minheight {
min-height:550px;
height:auto !important;
height:550px;
}
3. White-space (demo)
The white-space property specifies how white-space is handled in an element. For example, specify white-space: nowrap will prevent the text from wrapping to next line.

em {
white-space: nowrap;
}
4. Cursor (demo)

If you change the behavior of a button, you should change its cursor as well. For example, when a button is disabled, the cursor should be changed to default (arrow) to indicate that it is not clickable. So, the cursor property is extremely useful for developing web apps

.disabled {
cursor: default;
}

.busy {
cursor: wait;
}

.clickable:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
5. Display inline / block (demo)

In case you didn’t know: block elements are rendered on a new line, whereas inline elements are rendered on the same line. <div>, <h1>, and <p> tags are examples of block elements. Examples of inline tags are: <em>, <span>, and <strong>. You can override the display style by specifying display: inline or block.

.block em {
display: block;
}

.inline h4, .inline p {
display: inline;
}

Crackers Beat Adobe CS4 License Activation Using A Simple Novice Trick

There is no doubt that cracker's always tend to be one step ahead of software creators, no matter how tough the software protection is they always come up with a method to bypass it sooner or later, But, Adobe seems to be very unlucky with their CS4 product release, first it was the Photoshop CS4 leak and now Adobe Creative Suite 4 got cracked and keygened within three days of its initial release, massive sized trial version of Adobe CS4 suite with crack patches made their way on torrent portals and file-sharing websites within days after release.

Adobe CS4 makes use of a license activation system to make Keygens and shared serial-number obsolete by blacklisting them via a central activation server, Surprisingly, smart crackers defeated the whole CS4 activation system using a simple trick, blocking access to the activation server using Windows or MAC HOSTS file.
After generating the key using the keygen, users simply need to block access to activate.adobe.com using their firewalls or Windows HOSTS file, effectively disabling the CS4 licensing system from verifying the registration serial-key.
