Do you know about the new Apple iPhone 5 Concept?

Rumours for the new Apple iPhone 5 is getting the top talk of the town. We know its very early for Apple to release another phone since its not much time when the iPhone 4s was launched. Its always been a cracker strategy by Apple that they release their product quite after a time but whatever they release, becomes a sellout in stores since Apple has been producing very fine and superb finished products for their customers and what so ever it is, if you are having an Apple product you are having a world in your hand.

Talking about the the new rumoured iPhone 5, we came to know that Apple has been working eagerly on their new phone after the launch of 3rd generation iPad. Starting from the design all up to now we have heard from various sources that the new phone will be having a boat like curve shape giving it edge display advantage as well. Moreover its rumoured that the new iPhone 5 will be sim less. Now this is something new and strange, as the rumoured iPhone 5 will not be having any port for sim so all the data will have to get downloaded from the carrier to mobile first. The screen size will be in a great focus for the developers as the more big it is, the more appealing it is. Other features would be Siri, 4G LTE technology, Enhanced Retina Display and removing of the physical button on the body. The phone as a whole would have screen divided in three parts, the upper part would be for the display of data connectivity and the lower would be for controlling multi tasking apps. So thats all by now lets see how they people bring out the new iphone.

The Britist Royal Marines in action!

The British Royal Marines are definitely no cowards when it comes to defending the queen and her flock. These bad boys are highly trained for amphibious, arctic and mountain warfare, which essentially means that they can handle wet, dry and cold weather with ease. These pictures illustrate how intense the training is for these tough characters. Very few people could hang with their rigorous training regime.

 

Going back to World War II this group of armed adrenaline junkies played a critical part in most if not all of the battles fought on the water. They also took part in a great deal of action on the shores by providing their superior sea fighting and gunnery proficiency. Basically these guys charged into many battles and helped win key battles during that world changing war. All of the training really paid off, and continues to until this day.

Do you know who are the ten (10) Most Evil People In History?

Evil lurks in all parts of the world and although some people might enjoy watching the gruesome movies filled with depictions of disgustful horrific acts that people might commit to other people, they truly might be appalled by witnessing something of the sort in their real life. You must be wondering why there is a need to make people understand what they do and don’t really feel; this article is actually an endeavor to bring forth 10 of the truly evil people that really existed in this very world where we all live.

Somehow, somewhere there is a person who is living in a home just like us but the difference is that he has traded his soul to the devil himself and the weird part is that you might never notice or believe this fact simply from the look of his face.  So if you are really ready for the true horrors of life, then read on.

Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler, both take the first position together as there is no answer to the debate that who is more evil than the other. During their rule, both had taken such political and economic decisions that directly led to the death of tens of millions of people resulting in Genocide. The whole world is witness to their inhuman atrocities.

Vlad Tepes also known as Vlad the Impaler was a prince of Wallachia in the 15th century. One of his pastimes was to kill people through severe punishments. The one punishment that is most associated with him is impaling. He had a horse tied to the victim’s legs and then a blunt stake was forced inside and that too very slowly so that he died painfully. He was interested in having nails hammered into heads or boiling a person alive besides having them blinded, mutilated and burned.

The person who takes the third position in the list of most evil people is none other than Delphine LaLaurie. What makes it more depressing and evil is that she is a woman – a gender not so commonly associated with psychopathic behavior; but when it is, it leaves an even deeper effect. She was a socialite of sorts but a really sadistic one in her nature. Due to the torturous acts that she carried out with her servants, two of them made a cry for help by lighting a big fire in her kitchen, to the response of which firefighters had come. What they were horrified to see was what lay in the attic – disgustingly mutilated bodies of other servants chained to the wall or a floor. She had even attempted to disfigure a servant and reattach her limbs so she looked like a crab.

Next in the list is Ivan IV of Russia (Ivan the Terrible) who had once ordered his soliders to build a wall around the city of Novgorod, once he found out that the people of the city might be planning to turn to Poland. The wall was built to prevent the people from escaping and each day hundreds of people were gathered in front of him and his son to be tortured and killed. What makes him really evil is that he was as brutal to his own family members as well because he had beat up his own daughter in law for questionable clothing and had even killed his own son over a heated argument.

At number five, we have the Countess Elizabeth Bathory who had caused so much bloodshed that she is remembered in folklore as the one who bathed in blood of her victims. Over a long period of twenty five years, she escaped being caught for the infamous serial killing murdering over hundreds of peasant girls who had been summoned to the castle for a well-paid job but were found missing later on. One of such stories reached King Mathias II, who then sent looking for those girls at her castle and indeed they found several bodies, some of them dead, some dying and some tortured and mutilated.

Pol Pot has also earned notoriety in history because of his tyrannical rule from 1976 to 1979. Not only did he impose extreme communism which made all the city workers to work in group farms resulting in slave labor and malnutrition leading to their death, he also ordered mass executions and that too with hammers and spades to save ammunition. Almost one third of the entire population of Cambodia was killed during that time.

 

Ilse Koch, also called the Bitch of Buchenwald, is next. Although it is not determined for certain who was more evil, she or her husband Karl Koch, a Nazi. Taking lives of people in camps was something she did for pleasure for a long time. She was notorious for walking around the camps without her clothing and had every single man killed who even looked at her. A rumor also tells about having two inmates killed because they had similar tattoos on their backs and she wanted to make lampshades out of them. In the end however she took her own life, either out of pleasure or guilt, we will never know.

Another Nazi Bitch was Irma Grese, who was put in charge of almost 30,000 female prisoners in the concentration camps; she was also the perfect candidate for the job as she fulfilled her every sadistic desire of torturing those females. Not only were they made meal-sport for hungry dogs, but were beaten, tortured, sexually harassed and shot to give her pleasure. And if that wasn’t enough to satiate her desires, she randomly picked prisoners for the gas chamber.

So far women have taken up most of the ranking space, and this spot is taken by Katherine Knight who was notoriously known for her destructive relationships. She had a history of murdering and mentally and physically torturing her husbands. One of the stories that are related to her is of how brutally she murdered her husband John Charles Thomas Price. After he had filed against her in the court, she killed him by stabbing 37 times, rupturing vital organs with a butcher knife, then took off his skin and hung it outside the home. She also cooked and baked the rest of his body parts for meal.

Shiro Ishii takes this last and final place in our list; however he cannot be considered any less than the other contenders. A microbiologist general of the Japanese army, he conducted several inhuman and torturous experiments on thousands of prisoners to develop something fruitful for biological warfare. Some of the things he committed were injecting humans with diseases just to see how they develop, female prisoners were raped and gonorrhea and syphilis was intentionally passed into them, their body organs were frozen and thawed for study.

Home Business Tips: How Import Your Contacts into Gmail (davidlim, david, lim, Apple, iPhone 4S, auckland)

Possibly the most annoying aspect of moving into any new web mail home is bringing all your family, friends, and business contacts along with you. The average end user has almost been trained not to expect any sort of import utility, instead sighing and settling in for an evening of data entry.

Gmail, as with most post-1990s web mail applications worth their salt, provides the facility for importing all those contacts in just a few clicks; just how many depends on where you're exporting them from. Gmail accepts only one format: comma-separated values (CSV). Thankfully, CSV is about as low a common denominator as you could wish for; Yahoo! Address Book, Outlook, Outlook Express, Mac OS X Address Book (with a little help from a free application), Excel, and many other applications, web or otherwise, speak CSV.

TIP

Gmail's Help documentation on the subject of importing contacts is sure to keep up with the needs of its users, so keep an eye on "How do I import addresses into my Contacts list?" (http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=8301).

Anatomy of a Contacts CSV

First, a quick tour of a typical contacts CSV file as consumed by Gmail's import tool.

CSV files, as the name suggests, are little more than garden-variety text files in which data is listed one record per line, each field separated by (you guessed it!) a comma. The simplest of all contacts.csv files might then look something like this:

name,email Rael Dornfest,rael@oreilly.com Tara Calishain,tara@researchbuzz.com ...

The first line lists field names, in this case name and email address. Each line thereafter is a single person or entity (business, organization, etc.) in your contacts list with a corresponding name and email address.

Gmail accepts various formats of contact entry, recognizing some of the more common fields such as name, email address, phone, birthday, etc. Here's a slightly more detailed contacts.csv:

first name,last name,email address,phone Rael,Dornfest,rael@oreilly.com,(212) 555-1212 Tara,Calishain,tara@researchbuzz.com, (212) 555-1213 ...

Notice that name is split into first and last name fields, email is called emailaddress, and there's a phone field too.

Unless you're going to be using Gmail as your main contacts database—and I can't quite see why you would—you don't need to import any more than name and email address (something akin to the first contacts.csv example) to find it useful.

TIP

In fact, at the time of this writing, Gmail does little with fields beyond name and email address but shove them into a Notes field.

Feed CSV to Gmail

Assuming that you have a CSV file to work with (if you don't, read on to the sections below for some guidance), importing is a snap.

From the main Gmail screen in your web browser, click the Contacts link () found at the bottom of the menu on the left side of the page.

Figure 1. Clicking the Contacts link gets you to your Gmail contacts

The Contacts page opens, listing all of (or none of, if you don't yet have any) your existing Gmail contacts. These may have been entered by hand, gleaned from incoming and outgoing mail, or imported at some earlier date. Click the Import Contacts link link at the top right of the page.

Click the Browse... (or equivalent) button when prompted to do so, as shown in and find your CSV file on your computer's hard drive. (Just what this looks like depends on your operating system and browser, but essentially you're just choosing a file much like you would from any application.) Click the Import Contacts button and—Bob's your uncle (that's "tada!" for my American readers)—you should see a confirmation that all went to plan and you've imported some number of contacts into your Gmail address book.

Figure 2. Finding that CSV file

Click the Return to Contacts link and you'll see your now fully stocked contacts list. shows mine, after importing the second sample CSV at the beginning of this hack.

Figure 3. Feeding that CSV file to Gmail

Delete any number of contacts by clicking their associated checkboxes and clicking the Delete Selected button. Edit a contact by clicking the appropriate [edit] link. Or type in a contact or three by hand using the Add Contact link.

Now, any time you start typing a known contact's name into the To, Cc, or Bcc field of a new message, Gmail will autocomplete it for you. No need to remember that cousin Adam is  or Auntie Joan is .

Hopping out of Hotmail

There are a couple ways to hop out of Hotmail with your contacts in tow. The first goes by way of Outlook Express or Outlook and the second using a touch of copy-and-paste, as suggested by the Gmail team in their online Help documentation.

Moving from .Mac

The Mac OS X Address Book only exports to something called vCard, which is understood by many contacts applications, but not by Gmail.

Thankfully, someone's written a magical little app to help. AddressBookToCSV (http://homepage.mac.com/kenferry/software.html#AddressBookToCSV; freeware) slurps up all of your contacts—name and email address only, which is nicer to my mind than uploading a slew of data unnecessary for your Gmailing needs—out of Address Book and spits them into a CSV file that you can feed to Gmail. Download the app, mount the .dmg on your desktop, and run it right from there, as shown in . (If you'll likely use it again and again, go ahead and drag it into your Applications/Utilities folder.)

Figure 13. AddressBookToCSV exports Address Book names and email addresses to CSV

When prompted to do so, choose a place to save the contacts.csv file and click the Save button. Close the application using Command-Q (it doesn't do so by itself when done).

Feed contacts.csv to Gmail as usual.
