JoeyBra - The Most Safe Place to Keep Your Phones, Cards, Keys and More


Mostly of the girls who love dancing got hustled bringing their bags or purse just to put their important stuffs like phones, money, credit cards, ID's, keys and many more. This is one of the problems our party girls are currently experiencing. But this was just solved by two junior students.

Two junior business students in University of Washington created the JoeyBra. They are Mariah Gentry and Kyle Bartlow. It is just an ordenary bra but they added a pocket on its side where you can place any of your valuables especially if you want to go to a dance party or dance club without bringing with you your bag or purse.

Kawasan Water Falls - Cebu, Philippines


Blue water, clean cold air, virgin forest, cold water, clean environment. Those were just some of the thing that can be found in Kawasan Water Falls.

Kawasan Water Falls is a natural water falls and I think is the most unique falls because of its natural beauty and can only be found in Badian, Cebu, Philippines.

Many mini water falls can be found in there. But There are two main big water falls which have been the most attractive of all water falls which the residents in Badian Cebu called it as Kawasan Water Falls.

Many rumors were known to that place. Some were saying that there are unidentified creatures that are living deep under the water of the said falls. But despite of those, many local and international tourist are keep on coming back not because of the rumors but because of the  natural beauty of our mother nature.

eMAILS AND PASSWORDS OF YouPorn USERS WERE PUBLICIZED THROUGHOUT THE WEB


A third party chat service reportedly failed to take appropriate precautions in securing the data of the users of YouPorn as confirmed by spokeswoman of YouPorn Kate Miller. It is believed that due to this failed function of the third party chat, it gives an oppotunity of the hacker to conduct a security breach and accessed all the accounts of YouPorn users.

The hacker was able to publicized the list of users' emails and passwords. The hacker was also able to convert passwords into a plain text. It is said that there were 6, 400 passwords circulating arround the web.

This security breach of YouPorn can be considered as a high profile issue since the said website is included of the top 100 most visited website worldwide.

Many users were already threatened because some or shall I say most of them were can be easily identified with ther emails and passwords. But the thing the those users can be threatened the most is if they're using those accounts to other important accounts online.

The leason here is that never use the same accounts in any malicious sites and just never enter to any pornographic sites.

This SSL is now being used by some biggest names in the internet, Google and Facebook. To identify SSL, its url is starting with "https" instead of "http" only.

This declaration was done during the meeting of Weber together with the Mayor of Puerto Princesa, Edward Hagedorn, Nardz Villafranca, PPUR campaign coordinator and Jean-Paul dela Fuente, New7Wonders Director.

STRONGEST SOLAR STORM IS NOW HITTING THE EARTH


Earth is currently experiencing the strongest solar storm which is also called as Geomagnetic Storm. The last occurence of this solar storm was last 2005. This is the result of the massive solar flare that erupted from the sun.

According to wikipedia, A solar flare is a sudden brightening observed over the Sun surface or the solar limb, which is interpreted as a large energy release of up to 6 × 1025 joules of energy (about a sixth of the total energy output of the Sun each second). The flare ejects clouds of electrons, ions, and atoms through the corona into space. These clouds typically reach Earth a day or two after the event. The term is also used to refer to similar phenomena in other stars, where the term stellar flare applies.

MARQUEZ DID CHEAT DURING HIS 3rd FIGHT AGAINST PACQUIAO


via abs-cbn news
Did Juan Manuel Marquez really cheated during the fight against Manny Pacquiao?

News had scatterd around the globe that Marquez did cheat during his third bout against Pacquiao. A You Tube video show and emphasize marquez stepping on Manny's foot for atleast 5 times. Expert says that it is normal for a bout of an orthodox against a southpaw fighter. It can't be help that from time to time their feet will tangled along the game. But as the expert review the replay of Pacquiao vs. Marquez III bout, it is obvious that Marquez did it on purpose. Two or Three times might be considered as accident. But 5 times? Those can no longer be considered as accident.

Base on the score board, Marquez got a higher points than Pacquiao during the 6, 7, and 8 rounds. But base on the video, Marquez also did stepped on Pacquiao's foot ones during of each rounds. And also twice during the 12 round.

But eventhough Marquez did cheat, Manny proved that he still have the gots to win no matter how the opponent will cheat.
