FACEBOOK timeline - things you should know.

yes, FB timeline  will going to be your default profile within a week. fb has given 1 week time limit to all the user who are still using older version i.e. fb will automatically apply it on your profile.
now there is no need to search on google about ways to remove the TIMELINE because you can't ,unless you are mark zuckerberg ;)

here are few things which you should know before switching into the new version.

1. now your every time is onLINE.

HIDE FROM TIMELINE will be the most useful option for you in coming day.Get ready to click “Hide from Timeline” a lot. You can find it under the “Edit or Remove” pencil icon that comes up when you hover your mouse over the top right corner of every Timeline post.

Remember, it’s not just embarrassing photos that Timeline unearths — it’s every inappropriate status update you’ve ever posted and every asinine message your old college buddies have ever written on your wall at 3 a.m.

If you’ve had Facebook for a long time, you’re going to want to spend at least an hour combing through everything in your virtual past and hiding what you don’t want seen. You can also remove or hide posts through your “Activity Log,” which presents everything posted on your profile in a more compact, easy-to-digest form.

2. Smile! Your Album Covers Are Now Huge

Before, old photo albums hid in an archive — a collection of small thumbnails that only the most committed Facebook stalker would search through. Now it’s all front and center on your Timeline. That means that the photo of you drinking a giant novelty margarita in Las Vegas could now be displayed in unsettling clarity in one of Timeline’s two giant columns. If you want to keep your photo albums visible, but just want to switch the cover to something a little less embarrassing, click “Change Primary Photo” in the “Edit or Remove” menu.

 

• COVER photos are PUBLIC. 

yup, you got it right cover photos can't be hidden from the public, any one can view it.

FB doesn't offer any option for privacy regarding your cover photo, so be cautious about your cover photos before posting it on your timeline.

if you brows to the option for privacy setting of the album, there'll be a message reading 'cover photos are public'.

3. The Internet Knows Where You Are

Photos and photo albums can now be tagged with locations, which are then displayed neatly on a map. That means if your friend geotags your album “Vacation Time,” all of a sudden instead of just photos from a cabin in the woods, everyone can tell that your August vacation took place near Lake Tahoe. Now you have to either untag yourself from every geotagged photo or have your friend manually remove the geotag from every photo you’re in. It’s a total pain. Welcome to Timeline.

4. Violation of Privacy? There’s an App for That

 

A lot of the apps out there for Timeline are pretty cool, but a few venture into TMI territory or, at the very least, turn your profile into a kind of corporate billboard. Think carefully before you let a third-party app have permission to automatically add activity to your Timeline. Do you really want everyone to know where and what you’re eating at all times or what products you’re buying online?
You can always manage your apps by clicking on “Account Settings” in the very top right pull-down menu on your profile. Then click “Apps,” and you’ll be presented with a list of all the apps that have access to your Timeline. Remove the ones you don’t like or, under “App activity privacy,” change who can and can’t see the content posted by that app.
Remember, you can always remove any individual embarrassing app revelations on your Timeline by clicking “Hide from Timeline.”

5. When in Doubt, ‘View As …’

On your Facebook Timeline, you should see a little gears icon on the far right. Click on it, and then select the “View As” option. This will let you view your profile as if you were a stranger or let you pick a specific person to see how he or she sees your profile. It’s a handy tool to use when trying to evaluate how well you’ve cleaned up your profile.

its quite funny to see all things going without an internet connection.

no RAJNI joke.....

“The unbelievable spectacle of running a website without the Internet is a tribute to Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life image,” claimed Webchutney’s creative director Gurbaksh Singh.

With a heady mix of foot-tapping music, vibrant splash of colours, quirky quotes and illustrations, and icons in true Rajini style and lingo, the unique website reflects Rajini’s signature style.

Singh told PTI that the website is based on a complex algorithm running in the back-end that keeps an eye on the propagation of data packets between two terminals. Magic kicks in soon as the Internet speed is down to zero, which is the basic premise on which the site and the concept has been constructed.

rajnikanth website

The humour element on the website is accentuated by the error message in typical Rajini style that appears if a visitor attempts to reconnect the internet. “Aiyyo! That was unexpected. To keep browsing, switch off your Internet,” reads the message.

“The website has received a phenomenal response and has gone viral with several thousand hits and counting, along with innumerable shares and mentions across the web, especially on popular social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter,” Mr. Singh said.

“After a few iterations and testing, we cracked the code required to build the world’s first website that runs without the Internet — a website that runs offline — which is as awesome and unbelievable as miracles and stunts associated or performed by Rajini himself,” he said.

do visit this site and i promise you wont stop laughing.

2012 DOOMSDAY - END OF THE WORLD - MAYAN CALENDER

the long awaited LAST YEAR has started , whole world is going GAGA about the so called gimmick of DOOMS DAY. so lets find out what really prompted the whole world to believe that 2012 is the LAST YEAR in the human History.
it all started with the MAYAN calender.
 

The Maya didn't predict the end of the world (their calendar simply reaches the end of a cycle). They had specific names for periods of time in the millions of years;

The Theory

When they were a flourishing race, the Mayans developed 15 to 20 calendars, all with different purposes. Most of these have been exact. For example, the Tzolk’in was used to calculate crop cultivation, the Haab followed the cycles of the Sun and the Long Count--most relevant to the Doomsday prophecy--is the one that is ticking off our final days!

Mayan Calendar 2012

This is the Mayan Temple of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza. The Temple of Kukulcan is said to be a physical embodiment of the Mayan Calendar. For instance, in this pyramid there are 91 steps on each of the four sides (totaling 364) plus the top platform giving us 365 to match the days of a solar year. More intricate representations of time and distance exist within the construction of this pyramid. Chichen Itza is a Mayan ruin site located in southern Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, near Cancun. Occupied during the Terminal, Late, and Post Classic periods of the Maya empire (roughly 800-1500 AD) Chichen Itza rose to prominence.

 The Bible or any other holy book makes no date-specific predictions at all.

Earth is not going to get hit by a giant planet (if it were, we would have seen it by now, and its gravity would be affecting the orbits of everything else in the solar system). No known comets or asteroids are going to hit us, either.

The sun will not line up with the center of the Milky Way (it can't; the center of the galaxy is in the wrong part of the sky).

The planets are not going to align (it's physically impossible; and even if they could, their combined gravity wouldn't be enough to disrupt anything on earth).

The earth's poles will not abruptly reverse (the geographic poles can't; the magnetic poles can, but it takes thousands of years).

The sun will not flare up and poison the earth (it goes through regular 11-year cycles of solar flare activity, and 2012 is just another peak).

CALCULATION of MAYAN's
The Mayans developed their calendar based on their advanced knowledge of the cosmos and mathematics. To this day, their calendar can predict every lunar eclipse with 30 seconds or so. On the day their calendar ends, the Earth and Sun are aligned with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, an event that only occurs once every 26,000 years. Also on that day, we go into what's called the precession of the equinoxes, also an event that occurs once every 26,000 years.

2012 Possibilities

Human

• Flu Pandemic
• Nuclear War / WW3 / Biological War
• Large Hadron Collider
• Nanotechnology
• Religious Apocalypse
• Nuclear Accident
• Rise of the Machines
• Genetic Modification
• Time Travel Error

From Space

• Nearby Supernova
• Explosion from the black hole at the center of our galaxy - read about how something similar could have caused the recent tsunami.
  
• Gamma Ray Burst (GRB)
• Asteroid/Meteor/Comet
• Coronal Mass Ejection (CRE) from our Sun
• Cosmic Rays
• Solar System Falls Apart (butterfly effect)
• Alien Invasion

From Earth

• Magnetic Pole Shift
• Crustal Pole Shift

• Ice Age
• Global Warming

Conclusion

All in all, it seems the only thing anyone has is a bunch of tall, baseless claims. There’s only one way to find out what’s really going to happen, and that’s to live through the fateful day itself! Until then, however, if anyone brings up the 2012 doomsday theory, you're now armed with a rebuttal!
