"The web is what you make out of it"..yeah..the tag line of Google chrome.Flash is one thing which entirely alters the way we browse and surf through various websites.The vast possibilities of Flash not only add interactivity and dynamical angle to a web page but also also conveys our basic message to the audience in the way they appreciate it the most.
Have you ever came across any stunning flash website?? any website which made you say "man!!behind that there is someone with loads of creativity and hard-work..." if not then below I have mentioned best 10 of them in no specific order(you just cannot rank them..each one differs in their styles of meshing up visual artistry,integrated sound and ease of use which ultimately defines their uniqueness).

WE CHOOSE THE MOON

This website was created to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing.The website creates a total recreation of the various 10 stages which Apollo 11 went through before the astronauts stepped on the moon.Along with that it also gives you access to the audios ,photos and videos of the event which makes you feel that you too went on that mission and experienced the history being made.
Its also has a great feature of changing the view which alters the position of the spectator.You can hear all the conversations occurred among the crew members.I'm waiting for your comments how u felt after landing back on earth...one more thing you will also be awarded by a certificate which certifies that you landed on the moon and returned safely back on earth.. :-).

MOODSTREAM| GETTY IMAGES

What about streaming through a bunch of music tracks,images and videos which are in sync with your mood...the website Moodstream as the name suggest is a website which brings to you a smart collection of images and audio visuals which can take you into the mood you want to through a very simple interface.
The interface is designed such that a newcomer wont feel alien while using it.
At Moodstream there are some predefined presets like Inspire, Excite, Refresh, Intensify, Stabilize, and Simplify. Each preset is a mixture of the mood spectrums on the Moodstream mixer—happy/sad, calm/lively, warm/cool, and so on.You can also fine tune these mood spectrums using sliders or else start right away with the preset wheel.You can also mix up things like whether you want more number of black and white assets or audio with vocals.Even you can include the type of image transition.
What makes this website distinct from other mood-based music streaming services like Stereomood or Sourcetone is the inclusion of visual elements.
Although the tracks are not played entirely..this one place I felt the website falls short but the overall streaming was really appreciable..so try it and get into the mood..

Ramnit worm stole 45000 Facebook login credentials

Most of us have encountered the nasty malware Ramnit.Recently the malware has been found accused of stealing away login credentials of about 45000 Facebook users.Most of the affected users are from France and UK.According to the security researchers the malware is ,as expected, capable of affecting the DLLs and HTML files of Windows.

The Securlet bulletin says, "We suspect that the attackers behind Ramnit are using the stolen credentials to log-in to victims' Facebook accounts and to transmit malicious links to their friends, thereby magnifying the malware's spread even further".Securlet said in its bulletin. "In addition, cybercriminals are taking advantage of the fact that users tend to use the same password in various web-based services (Facebook, Gmail, Corporate SSL VPN, Outlook Web Access, etc.) to gain remote access to corporate networks."

Moreover the security firm is also claiming that the malware has stolen Banking details of account holders previously.

Facebook has stated that they are looking into the matter. "Our security experts have reviewed the data, and while the majority of the information was out-of-date, we have initiated remedial steps for all affected users to ensure the security of their accounts", reported BBC.

Fullscreen iPad apps on Apple TV

  

What is the one thing that really pushes anyone to make his pocket lighter for an iPad ,iPhone or any other iOS device is the gigantic wealth of apps which suit hell lot of needs of any guy out there....agree??

If yes then i have good news for you.. in this month while you were busy in decorating the Christmas tree and having drinks at new years ,hackers were busy in figuring out how to run iOS apps natively on  Apple TV in full screen mode

For those among you who owns a Logitech Revue set up boxes running android have already been gifted by access to Android market on your console.

But what about those folks who are really jealous and badly wanted access to Apple app store on their Apple TV set up boxes.

If you are one of those folks that wants App Store access, a new hack surfaced over the weekend on a video put up by a developer known as "TheMudkip." Dubbed MobileX, the hack is for the Apple TV and allows access the set-top devices to run full-screen iPad apps. The developer calls MobileX a window manager for iOS that replaces springboard and lets the iPhone and iPad apps run on the TV.

EXCITED??? Don't be much as there is a bad news also.. the hack is in its primary stages and the worst part

the Apple TV needs to be jailbroken through SeasonPass. What annoys is that you would likely lose any warranty on the set up box.

Below you can check out a video which display the hack in action...Apple TV running safari, youtube,maps..and much more

but i bet you would be more interested in iPad version Facebook and our favorite Angry Birds

Offline Gmail app : Checking mails without net

Google's new software for using Gmail without an Internet connection comes across as a throwback to an era when we weren't connected all the time and on all sorts of devices, from smartphones to iPads.
These days, if I need to read or write an email when I'm not at a regular computer, I can usually do so on my phone. Wi-Fi is also plentiful -even on planes and trains- when I need to catch up on messaging using my laptop.
But I found myself lacking both options during a recent trip . Fortunately, Google recently came out with Offline Google Mail, software that lets me use Gmail while disconnected. Messages that I write, delete or move to a folder - or label, as Gmail calls it - get synced with my Gmail account the next time I'm online. I can also read messages that had been sent to me before going offline.
Indeed ran into a few problems :
1. The key problem is that messages stored offline sometimes disappears. That included an email I had composed to send later. As a result, I wasn't able to depend on the software to retrieve notes that I had stored as email messages, nor was I able to respond to a number of emails that went missing.
2. It typically keeps only messages from the past three days and sometimes up to a week. Drafts and messages marked with a star are always stored, but you have to remember to do that in the short time you might have online.


MAIN PUNCH HERE IN COMPARISON TO IT'S COMPETITORS :->
Standalone email software such as Thunderbird also lets you read and write messages while offline, but you need to open the software to sync. You also need to know how to set it up for Gmail, while there's no need to configure anything for Offline Google Mail.
So , happy mailing................

Siri workaround for iPhone handsets:developed by hacker 'chpwn'

Apple's iPhone users who were restless for using the company's much publicized virtual personal assistant Siri can hope to do so....hacker 'chpwn' have developed ways for them.He has designed a download (posted its details on his blog ) which installs Siri from Apple itself. The tool ,Spire,will download Siri while it installs.
For those having jailbroken handsets ,this one is a solution...but its not enough.After that's done u are not quite ready to talk to the virtual assistant
 Apple still requires authorization to use Siri, so information from an iPhone 4S is still required. To insert this information, Spire allows you to enter your own proxy server address. “Spire uses a new method to obtain the files necessary for Siri, so it doesn’t have the copyright issues encountered by previous attempts,” the blog post explains. “Similarly, rather than directing all traffic through a specific proxy server (and the associated privacy issues), Spire allows you to specify your own proxy server.”

According to "chpwn," users must access an iPhone 4S' data and proxy to make Siri think it's running on an iPhone 4S.
Just how will you gain access to that information? "Chpwn" won't provide it, but on his site, he suggested a host of options, including buying an iPhone 4S and asking a friend for access to his or her authentication tokens.
iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 owners have been hoping to find a simple way to add Siri to their devices for months now. Unfortunately, there isn't a simple method available, as evidenced by the hoops folks must jump through just to get Spire working properly.

Bye the way Google is reportedly developing its own version a natural language processing enhancement to its Voice Actions application that is code-named "Majel.
We already using the search using voice ...lets see if Majel would prove itself more efficient than Siri.
For those who are in a hurry and couldn't go through all the stuff i have mentioned above ,here is a video.Just see it and get the major points
