How to delete your Google+ Account
Today I found out from my childhood neighbour (Gareth Barlow) how to delete my Google+ account without affecting the other Google services I want to keep.
- Login to Google+
- Click on your username (top right) and select “Account Settings”
- Under “Services” click “Delete profile and social features”
- The next page will ask you whether you want to remove only Google+ only or your entire Google account.
- Select what you want and BREATHE! “Ahhhhhhhh!”
Math Genius Solves 100 Year Old Problem, Then Refuses Million Dollar Prize
Techland: …His reward? One million dollars and the Fields Medal, or the math world’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize. But the private Perelman shrugged off the invite to accept the cash, saying that the knowledge he gained from proving the conjecture was more valuable than any monetary gain.
“Emptiness is everywhere and it can be calculated, which gives us a great opportunity. I know how to control the universe. So tell me, why should I run for a million?” he told Komsomolskaya Pravda, a daily Russian newspaper.
Amateur Astrophotographer Creates Largest True-Color Night Sky Panorama
WOW! What an adventure! What an achievement!!!
Gizmodo.com: One day, Nick Risinger, a 28-year-old marketing director from Seattle, felt like he needed a change. So he quit his job, packed up six professional astronomical cameras, and hiked 60,000 miles through western United States and South Africa, taking 37,000 color pictures of the night sky.
The result? This 5000-megapixel, interactive, zoomable map showing our full Milky Way galaxy, stars, planets, and the nebulae surrounding it. It’s the largest-ever, true-color, 360 degree panorama of the heavens—all created by this first-time astrophotographer.
Swipe credit cards with your smartphone
Squareup is brilliant! So handy — I would say even crucial — for flea-market vendors, Craigslist sellers, at garage sales and for other small business needs.
The tiny card reader that plugs into your smart phone via the earphone jack is free. All you pay are transaction fees (which you do anyway when you accept credit cards). There’s no contract – just pay as you go.
WordPress HOW TO: Add Facebook “Like” and “Share” buttons on index.php
You can find instructions everywhere on how to add these buttons to individual pages in WordPress, but when it comes to the index page (the main blog list page), just putting the code into the loop doesn’t work. You need to also specify the page URL for each post, or facebook will unhelpfully link to your main blog page every time. Here’s the code:

40 Kick Ass Dark Portfolio Website Designs
Thanks Inspiiired for the heads up! And to PhotoShop VIP for also featuring Yummy Wakame in first position!! Wow, I am really happy to be ranked. YAY!!!
UPDATE:
I can’t even believe that I missed this before, or that it happened, but the PhotoShop VIP article looks like it was written by Cassius, also featured in the 40 portfolio, who is a freelance design hero of mine with some clients I TOTALLY drool over, who I didn’t even know, knew, that I existed. So, that’s kinda weird, but more awesome than weird.
I feel like its my birthday and I’m the last one to know about the party because I was at the beach all day. Which is what happened. I was out swimming and eating pizza the past 2 days and all this cool stuff happened and the inbox is full. Sweet!
SOLVED: Problems mounting ISO files / virtual disk images on Windows 7 64-bit?
Yeah, this has been a real hassle for me for days now. Messages like “This driver has been blocked from loading,”. Or when you try to assign a drive letter it just fails to do anything.
So that you don’t waste your time, I have tried the following programs with no luck:
Alcohol 120%, DaemonLite Free, MagicISO Maker, Virtual CloneDrive, WinXP VirtualCD.
A quick Google search shows that tons of people are having this same problem. This is because you can’t use 32-bit drivers on a 64-bit platform. Ohhhhhh… riiiiight.
Solution!
UltraISO. The version I’m using is 9.3.6.2750 and it does its job PERFECTLY. The free version will only let you load so much, so pay for the full version or find a way around it.
Warning: Smartphone Apps May be Spying on You
As you may have guessed I don’t have the most massive privacy concerns. However most people do, and this might interest you…
An examination of 101 popular smartphone “apps”—games and other software applications for iPhone and Android phones—showed that 56 transmitted the phone’s unique device ID to other companies without users’ awareness or consent. Forty-seven apps transmitted the phone’s location in some way. Five sent age, gender and other personal details to outsiders.
WikiRebels – a Documentary on WikiLeaks
CHRIS ANDERSON: It’s been reported that WikiLeaks, has in the last few years has released more classified documents than the rest of the world’s media combined. Can that possibly be true?
JULIAN ASSANGE: Yes, can it possibly be true? It’s a worry isn’t it? That the rest of the world’s media is doing such a bad job that a little group of activists is able to release more of that type of information than the rest of the world press combined.
