Shah Rukh Khan Back on Television

Shah Rukh Khan may very likely be coming back to television reveal sources. The superstar is said to have been roped in to host a live show for a leading Hindi general entertainment channel. The show will be based on the popular international series Got Talent.
While the news is yet to be formally announced over a press conference, it is believed the show will be one live event at the Andheri Sports Complex  in December and it will be telecast on the channel.
Sources also added that if things to as planned, international TV personality Simon Cowell, creator of "Got Talent" and "The X Factor", may also visit Mumbai for the show, likely to be a first-of-its-kind twist on "Got Talent".
The 48-year-old started his career with television shows like Fauji and Circus followed by a debut in the 1992 hit Deewana.
Given that his previous attempts at hosting television shows like Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? and "Zor Ka Jhatka haven’t been too successful, we’re hoping King Khan can work his magic with this one.

Google AdSense income: How much do you earn per day through Google AdSense program?

Google AdSense income! Do you know much about Google AdSense income? Many web sites, blogs, forum post etc. claiming that they earn $1000 or even more through Google AdSense. I spent much time reading these type of articles or pages. But what is the real truth? I will tell you. After reading this page, you have a basic idea about AdSense income. You then easily calculate your the daily income through Google AdSense. Before accessing to main contents, I want to say something about Google AdSense.

What is Google AdSense program?

Google AdSense program is really a reliable program to earn money. If you have a google adsense account, you can easily earn some money through google AdSense program. You just need to insert some lines of code to your web site or blog or forum posts. And that's all. Now, google adsense program will display several ads or google ad based on your contents and thus you can easily earn some money through google AdSense.

Why you use Google AdSense Program?

At first I want to say that Google AdSense Program is a nice program for all types of publishers. There are lots of other program like AdBrite, Clicksor, Bidvertiser, Chitika, AdToll, Exit Junction, Yahoo Publisher Network etc. I already have used several of them and found that Google AdSense is the best among all of them. Moreover, I see that Google AdSense offers the best ads which is very relevant to your content. The earning report of Google AdSense is very transparent and easy to understand to all. So, I personally suggest to use Google AdSense program for earning money.

What is the lie of people to earn money through Google AdSense program?

This section will tell you the great lie of several advertising companies. You might have seen that several advertisers or web publishers or blog owners or software marketing person always advertise that the earn more than $1000 per day.They also even give prove that they earn more than $1000 per day. For example, there is a screen shot which tells that this publisher can earn more than $1000 everyday.

The false earnings of several advertisers to sell or advertise their products

Do you believe this? If yes then answer a question: How much effort and time is needed to earn $1 for you? I think, you already get the answer.
Actually these type of screen shots and prove is totally false. They are just advertising their own products. For example, they just show you their success and at last they offer several courses or books or tutorial materials for some small payments. If they offer one book just $20 and if 1000 people buy that book then the easily get 20000$ dollars. So, they just advertise and earns a lot. So, don't believe their false prove.

Is Google AdSense program is a lie?

No, definitely it's not a lie. Google AdSense Program is the real truth to earn money through Google AdSense. You can really earn some money through Google AdSense easily. If you use Google AdSense program, you may get $100 to 1000$ easily of each month (Remember, I say each month not every day). But to do that you have to work some times. If you are new, please do not think much income at first. Work and wait, you will see that day by day your earnings are increasing. So, you have to wait for some day.

The real scenario of Google AdSense:-

Do you know how much people generally do income from Google AdSense? I have some friends who are using Google AdSense program more than 1 years ago. I was first introduced to Google AdSense program by my friends. They have several web sites and blogs. They earn money but not huge. In the following table, I will present my four friends income. The following earnings are not my earnings. Those earnings are my four friends earnings.

How much money is possible to earn through Google AdSense program?

Yes, it's the most critical question to answer. No body can give you the exact answer. People can only guess and then answer.
I will try to answer this question based on my friends earnings. The earnings are totally based on page impressions and clicks. So, the no of visitors of your web page or blog is very important to earn money easily. The more visitors you get, the more you will be able to earn.
Typically, if you get 1000 visitors per day, you may earn $1 to $3 per day. I again tell you this is just the estimation not the real value. If you analysis the above table, you will see this type of situation.
So, you can conclude that if you get 10000 visitors, you may get $10 to $30 per day.

How to increase visitors and increase Google AdSense income?

When people really understand Google AdSense, then they keep attention on the following two things:

• No of page visitors: If the total no of visitors of your site or blog is increased then the total no of clicks and impressions will also be increased. So, you then earn much easily per day. You can easily increase visitors by publishing contents daily, by telling to the friends of your new published contents, by answering the questions of others of several forums, by answering the comments of your contents, by commenting others posts etc. When the no of page views are increasing, your earning will also be increasing.
• Placement of Ads of Google AdSense Ads: You also have to find out the better ad placement space. If you place your ads at the end of the page, then you may loose high income. I suggest the following figure to place Google AdSense ads. See the red marked area. This is the best place for showing ads. Later, the orange areas are suitable for Google AdSense ads. So, try to place Google AdSense ads on those places.

By satisfying the above two conditions, you can easily earn much and you will see that Google AdSense income is increasing very rapidly.

Red color and orange color areas are the best suitable place for Google AdSense ads

Say Cheese With Your Webcam on Linux

So you went ahead and purchased that System 76 laptop or you decided to finally install Linux on your laptop. You now have a Linux based laptop with a webcam. But how do you take advantage of this hardware? You want to be able to use that web cam to upload photos to facebook (or the like), but are not sure exactly how to use your hardware. It’s simple with a handy little tool called Cheese.

Cheese is not one of those applications that is going to make or break your desktop experience. But it certainly will enhance it. You can take standard pictures and even add effects to those pictures And Cheese doesn’t just do pics, it can do videos as well.


Getting and installing

Even though Cheese is a part of the GNOME desktop, it isn’t always installed by default. To install Cheese open up your Add/Remove Software utility, search for “cheese” (no quotes), select the results, and click Apply. To start Cheese look in the Graphics submenu of the Applications menu.

Figure 1

When you fire Cheese up it will instantly start seeing you. Figure 1 shows me stalking a penguin through the eyes of Cheese. You will also see two photos I have already taken of myself.

To snap a photo of yourself place yourself in the position (or goofy face) you want and press the Take A Photo button.

When the photo is snapped it will appear in the lower pane of the application.

Now those photos you have taken have not been saved. You must actually save them before you can use them. To save a photo right click the photo and select “Save As”. By default photos are saved in the ~/Pictures/Webcam directory and can only be saved in .jpg format.

From that same right menu you can choose to send a picture to a removeable device, import the photo into F-Spot, open the photo, or send the photo to the trash. There is one other option “Set as Account Photo”, which is supposed to set a photo to your About me and your login photo. I have yet to get this to work.

Effects

You can even add effects to a photo. You actually add the effects before the photo is taken, and you can add more than one effect if you like. To add effects click the Effects button to list all of the possible effects.

Figure 2

As you click on an effect it will be highlighted. Click on as many effects as you like, but know that the more effects you add the slower Cheese will get (especially when adding effects like Vertigo and Warp.)

After you select the effects you want click the Effects button again and you will be returned to the normal screen, only now your photo will be “enhanced” by the effects you have chosen.

You can see the right photo of me was with the Vertigo and the Warp effects running.

Countdown

You will notice, in the Cheese main menu, a Countdown entry. If this entry is checked there will be a delay in the photo taking (so you can make yourself as photogenic as possible.) If you would prefer instant results uncheck that entry and photos will be snapped as soon as you hit the Take a Photo button.

Final thoughts

Cheese is not going to make you a more productive worker. In fact, it’s just fun enough that it might make you a less productive worker. But when you need that interface to your trusty webcam, just say “Cheese” and you’ll be ready every time.

How To Display Home, Computer, Trash icons On Ubuntu's Desktop

I had an Ubuntu CD so passed it along and one of my friend(a big fan of linux) was able to install it just fine. The first thing he tells me is that there no icons on the desktop? How am I supposed to browse my files?

Some distros provide you with these icons on the desktop and some don’t. Having the icons on the desktop might be an overkill for the geeks. After all, the Places Menu works just fine. However, I guess new users still want those icons on the desktop (Ubuntu forums would attest to the fact). So, if you are looking to get the Home, Trash or the Computer icons on the desktop, it is very easy.

Follow along (works for all Gnome-based distros)

Hit Alt + F2, type in gconf-editor in the dialog box that comes up and hit Enter.
The Configuration Editor will open up. Navigate to Apps >> Nautilus >> Desktop.
Towards the right side, you'll see some options. Place a check against the icons you want to see displayed on the desktop. You can display the Computer, Home, Trash and Network icons from in here.
While you are there, you can also think about changing the names. If for example, if you want to change the name from “Computer” to “Varun’s Computer”, all you have to do is double-click on computer_icon_name, choose String as the type and then key in the name you want to give to it.
You can also uncheck volumes_visible option if you don’t want the mounted drives to appear on the desktop. I personally loathed them, could never get in terms with where they appear (on top of each other at times) and how to customize their positions.

That’s it! You can customize what to show up and what to not on your desktop very easily.

Meiga, The Best Linux File Sharing Program

Meiga is one of the best file sharing programs to share files across your network or over the Internet. It is available for Linux, and the best part is that you can access files from other operating systems as well. Download the deb packages for Meiga from here. If you use other non-debian based distributions, you would have to compile from source.

Once installed, fire up the GUI. (Applications > Internet > Meiga in Ubuntu). You would be greeted by a mini window like this.
Click on add and browse to the directory you want to share, then choose the share name, you'll have to remove any spaces and make the name as simple as possible.
That's it, you have shared the folder successfully. Isn't it easy?

The person on the other side doesn’t need to install anything as long as a web browser or an http download manager is available. He would have to know your IP address and the share name to be able to access the files. Meiga makes it easy by showing you the URL in the statusbar as you click on each share. This is the URL other person would need to visit to access the files.
If you are on a network like your home network, chances are you would be knowing the IP addresses on your machines, so getting a file simply means browsing to http://[ip address]:8001/[share name] and you would see a list of all the files and folders within the shared folder.
If you are sharing files across the Internet, then of course, you would have to communicate the share’s URL to the other end via email or chat.

While the ability to share files with ease is the stronghold of Meiga, it can certainly do with some basic features like password protection the ability to view all shares on a particular computer. All in all Meiga is great for easy, no fuss file sharing with minimal effort.

Avast 5 Free Antivirus

Avast Free 5, an A-list freeware antivirus app, provides the same steadfast protection of well-known, pricier antivirus programs. Avast is remarkable for both its effectiveness and arguably providing the most complete free antivirus on the market.
Avast Free 5, formerly known as the Home Edition, protects you with multiple guards. The antivirus, antispyware, and heuristics engines form a security core that also includes multiple real-time shields. The adjustable mail and file system shields join the pre-existing behavior, network, instant messaging, peer-to-peer, and Web shields. The behavioral shield is a common-sense feature, as security software publishers leverage their large user bases to detect threats early and warn others. Other new features include a silent-gaming mode and an "intelligent scanner" that only looks at changed files after establishing a baseline. The biggest change in Avast 5, though, is the interface. Gone is the music player default look, which was skinnable but confusing. In its place is a sleek UI that new users should find far more manageable. It's also Aero-friendly, with Explorer-style navigation buttons in case you can't remember where you tweaked a particular setting.
Avast's recent independent third-party testing has been notably solid, able to hold its own against better-known programs from Symantec and Microsoft. Avast 5 Free lacks features in the paid upgrade including antispam measures, a testing sandbox, a Script shield, and a firewall. Even without those, Avast Free 5 is probably the strongest, free antivirus currently available.

Avoid Apps Crashing in iPhone By Increasing Free Space

I think you would have noticed that sometimes when you are listening to music in your iPhone's iPod and at the same time trying to run some Apps or Games and your application or game got stopped working(in nerd's slang "crashed"). This has happened to me many times and i used to end up with restarting my iPhone, because as an iPhone user we are not given any guides or tools to know the reason why the Apps don't work always and generally we blame the App developers.

Here is the reason why these Apps crash up and how you can avoid 'em.

Whenever you run an App on your iPhone and close it, it is not really closed and it keep running in the background, and use your iPhone's memory resources. The iPhone comes with a 128Mb of total Runtime memory and don,t connect this with the storage memory which the handsets come in, normally amounting to 8Gb , 16Gb or 32Gb. Now all the applications and the Operating System has to process in the total 128Mb available which means that you can't run multiple applications at the same time because of limited memory resources.
Few built-in applications like the the iPod player, Phone application, Mail application and the Safari web browser etc. continiously run in the background even when closed and this is the main reason the iPhone users suffer from crashing applications. Now the only solution for this till date was restarting the handset in order to close all the processes running in the background, but i have got a better solution which is available in the form of a App.

Free Memory iPhone App – The Operating System does not allow Free Memory to kill any app directly. When Free Memory(app) frees up memory, the OS releases the memory Free Memory(app) requests. If it can't release the memory, apps are closed to free up the memory. In some instances, Mail or iPod remain running because they do not consume loads of memory. The App costs you 0.99$ and is not a free app, but i am very much happy after buying this application since i don't have to restart my iPhone again and again and waste another 5 minutes. Whenever i feel my iPhone is running slow. I just simply tap on the Free Memory App and click on Free Memory and done, and my iPhone run quicker without any crashes.
Some other advantages of using this App are that once you free up some of your iPhones memory the background running process are cleaned up and this inturn would save up your iPhones battery which means you can improve iPhone battery life and you can also check out the battery level in the same App.
