How internet detectives find out where you live

When a person uses a mobile phone to post a tweet on Twitter or upload a photo to the image-hosting website Flickr, sometimes so-called geolocation data can be found lurking underneath the tweet or photo. This can be used to track down their local haunts, including their home or where they study. "It is quite easy sometimes to work out which house a tweet is coming from," said Neil Smith, a former police officer turned online researcher in Britain. Geolocation research is a fast evolving area as most applications are built on the back of freely available open-source software. One of Smith's favourite applications was developed by 27-year-old Greek IT engineer Ioannis Kakavas, who aptly called his invention Creepy. The free app collates geolocation data attached to a person's tweets and pictures to figure out where they might work, said Smith, who says he uses it to track down perpetrators of insurance fraud for corporate clients.

A Little Boys Temper.....

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence.The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said "you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one."You can

Have a Positive Thinking.......................

A man once telephoned Reverend(a spiritual leader of the Christian Church) . The man was despondent and told the Reverend that he had nothing left to live for. Reverend invited the man over to his office. "Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him. "I'm living in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for living altogether." The Reverend smiled sympathetically. "Let's take a look at your situation," he said calmly. On a sheet of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. He suggested that the list on the left side have the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left. "You won't need that column on the right side," said the man sadly. "I have nothing left, period." The Reverend asked, "When did your wife leave you?" "What do you mean? She hasn't left me. My wife loves me!" "That's great!" said Reverend enthusiastically. "Then that will be

Aim Your Goal....

You know when Colonel Sanders was 65 years old he only had $100 which he got from an old car and some social security. From this $100 he decided to do something. He remembered the recipe taught by his mother and decided to sell it. You know how many doors he have to go to sell his recipe. He has to go 1000 doors , then he got his first customer.

But you know Today Colonel Sanders is famous in the world by name Kentucky Fried Chicken."So always try try and try...........until you get success."

God has something great for each of us...............

Once there was a small kid on earth. One fine day she came to know that God is distributing apples to humans in his place heaven. The girl was so happy to receive that news and she went with lot of enjoyment to heaven to get apple from God. There was a big queue to receive apple from God, and she joined the queue. While standing in the queue, she was fully excited and thrilled for the fact that she is going to receive person from God's hands. Her turn too came and she showed both the hands to receive the apple. God gave the apple but unfortunately the tiny hands couldn't hold that big apple. Apple fell down and wasted in mud. The girl got disappointed. Theministers near the God informed that if the girl likes to have an apple from God again then she has to follow the queue. Having waited for so long the girl didn't want to return to earth with empty hands, so she decided to wait again in the queue. This time the queue has become even longer than previous one. While wai

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE.......................

ONE DAY I DECIDED TO QUIT… I QUIT MY JOB, MY RELATIONSHIP, MY SPIRITUALITY…. I WANTED TO QUIT MY LIFE. I WENT TO THE WOODS TO HAVE ONE LAST TALK WITH GOD. “God”, I said.  ”Can you give me one good reason not to quit?” His answer surprised me. “Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo?” “Yes”, I replied. “When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.  I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth.  Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.  But I did NOT quit on the bamboo. “In the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.  And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed.  But I did NOT quit on the bamboo. “In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would NOT quit. The same in year four. “Then in the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.  Compared to the fern, it was seemingly small and insignificant.

Can I b orrow Rs. 25?

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.  SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'  MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.  SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'  MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.  SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'  MUM: 'If you must know, I make   Rs. 50 an hour.'  SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.  SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow Rs.25?'  The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish.  I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'  The little boy quietly went

Does Success a matter of Luck??

Do you believe success is a matter of luck? Does opportunity or luck elude you? Do you believe famous people are just "lucky" because opportunity has found them? Let me answer all these questions..... I will tell you about comedian Tim Allen. During one week in 1994 he had the number one TV show: Home Improvement, the number one book on the bestseller list, Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man, and a number one film, The Santa Clause. The following year, he provided the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the blockbuster movie, Toy Story. That sounds like a lot of luck but actually..... Tim Allen worked hard against enormous odds to achieve this prominence. Have you heard his story? He was born in 1953 in Colorado and was one of six siblings. At the age of 11, his father was tragically killed by a drunk driver, leaving his life empty and his soul filled with bitterness about the cruel world he lived in. He found that humor hid his pain and in the process of being funny, discovered
