Wikileaks

Every one, every where haunting Wiki leaks --- I want to give a quick overview of how Wiki leaks has been staggering for the past few weeks.

It started with Julian Assange (Wiki leaks founder) announcement stating that they are going to release the war documents related to Iraq war.The next followed with America's Secretary of state Hillary Clinton's warning and then wiki leaks released those documents.I don't know what is there in those documents nor did I try to explore, but I wonder why media is also like me.It went on haunting Julian Assange taking interviews from him, provoking him to give disputed statements.In one interview with CNN he even walked away, unable to bear the torture.And that video has been screened again and again with the tagline "Watch Julian Assange walking away from CNN's interview in 5 minutes".Then Julian had been accused of raping two women.The next followed Assange's denial of accusation.Later on interpol issued arrest warrant and he is now in underground.

While this was happening on one side of the story after the release of documents, DDOS attacks, started on Wiki leaks website.DDOS attacks make the server so busy, that it cannot respond to user's requests, due to traffic congestion.Quoting this as a reason, Amazon removed Wiki leaks from it's website and then followed Every DNS, the main domain provider for wiki leaks.The site went down today because of this, but I can't believe, the wiki leaks is still fighting.It shifted it's domain to wikileaks.ch and continuing it's fight for transparency.

Set a video as your wallpaper

Bored of seeing your photo albums scrolling as your window's wallpaper through the new feature of windows-7.Ever thought of watching videos as your wall paper.You just need to have a windows operating system with a VLC player installed in it.


Open VLC media player, goto Tools--->Preferences and click on the video tab, there in the output section change the "default" mode to "DirectX video output".Now restart the media player and under the in the tool bar-video tab now, you can see "Directx Wallpaper", click on it and you have the video playing as your wall paper and you can continue with your busy shedule.

SCHOOLOS(Part-2)

I made the first post with out actually trying SCHOOLOS myself and when I tried it myself, I was amazed and lost myself with the applications that come prebundled with SCHOOLOS.Two of them are :


The first and foremost of all applications I rate is the TUX Paint that comes in the education tools.I heard it's a drawing tool for children.So I opened it keeping in mind that some kids like stuff will come teaching every aspect as the mouse hovers.But wonder what I directly started working on the drawing sheet and the custom sound in the back ground made me feel more interactive with what I am drawing.I clicked on the magic tool and the options that it could provide are amazing.There is an option called bricks and when I started using on the drawing arena, a custom sound came from the background that comes when the bricks are arranged to build a wall, and I am building a wall on the foreground.Next with glass panes, and so on.Every option is amazing and if you start using it, you will become mad for drawing.

The next best application until now of all I used is the game SUPERTUX2, what a game it was.It's the same as the mario game, but the characters and the playing arena are changed to antarctica mode.Mario was replaced with a penguin and the duck with a small bug that is always present inside a ice cube.When you start playing it, you will get a feel of the real antarctica, the totally white interface, the ice cubes, penguins etc.,But quitting this application had always been a trouble for me.I need to wait for 5 min, after I hit the quit button to get it closed.But that couldn't resist me playing this game.
