Few months ago, girls posted colors on their Facebook status. Wondering what the meaning of those “Black,” “Blue” and “Pink” Facebook status updates are? I was confused all morning, figured I’d sort it out sooner or later, and then I broke it down. Found out the hues represent bra colors. It was a noble cause for Breast cancer awareness. A similar kinda girls’ cryptic status has been noticed on Facebook these days. This time, it isn’t colors. Instead, its fruits. Pineapple, Strawberry, Apples…. Decode it guys.

Below are some amazing pictures that look 3D without you having to wear any special glasses!
How does it work? The most significant factor which contributes to depth perception is bionocular disparity–it’s the fact that your left and right eye, because they’re separated by a few inches, see a slightly different picture of what is in front of you. Your brain integrates these two pictures into a coherent vision but it uses the difference between the pictures to give you a sense of depth. To see what I mean look away from your computer screen across the room. Alternate closing one eye than the other; notice both the difference between the pictures from each eye and also that with one eye closed the world seems flat.

This tutorial teaches the technique of changing in the upper-left corner of a window? The default icon used by JAVA is a coffee cup which is the offical logo of JAVA. I really wanted to get rid of this cup and replace it with my own logo. I did quite a bit of research on this topic and found some cool tips. But couldn’t find any tutorials on NetBeans IDE. The problem is that, the code wasn’t NetBeans friendly. So I’ve modified it to suit every need.

Well, it’s said that we needn’t wait for a specific time to put Tika and receive blessings. But yet, the auspicious time to put Tika this year is 10:55 am NST as notified by the Panchanga Authority. The conversion for various cities is shown below.(Read more..)

A birthday, as the term implies, is the anniversary of the particular day on which a person was born. Though by no means universal, such occasions are celebrated in numerous cultures, often with a party or, in some instances, a rite of passage.
The day started out with a shower. Checked some text msgs on my mobile, then headed to Bindabasini temple.

Let me give you what might seem a strange piece of advice – be lucky. Sometimes you have good luck and sometimes you have bad luck. But do you have a choice? Can you make your own luck? Dr. Richard Wiseman has studied why some people are lucky and others are not. He advises that there are four main traits that lucky people have that help them to be ‘lucky’.
1. They create, notice, and act upon chance opportunities that come up.
2. They make good decisions using their intuition as well as their logic.
3. They have positive expectations about the future.
4. They don’t let bad luck get them down; they find a way to turn it into good fortune.

The lack of adornment on a JWindow component makes it suitable for use as a splash page, a graphic or text that displays as an application loads. Java 6 adds a better, faster way to do this by defining a graphic that functions as an
application’s splash. The graphic loads even before the Java interpreter and disappears when the application begins running.
