One of the founders of the popular file-sharing Pirate Bay website, has been arrested in Cambodia, the local police have announced.<br />

Gottfrid Svartholm Warg was held in Phnom Penh after an international warrant was issued against him in April by his native Sweden.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Sweden acted after he had failed to show up for the start of his one-year jail term for copyright violations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Warg and three other founders had said the website was within the law.</div>

"His arrest was made at the request of the Swedish government for a crime related to information technology," Cambodia's police spokesman Kirth Chantharith told the AFP news agency.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
"We don't have an extradition treaty with Sweden but we'll look into our laws and see how we can handle this case," the spokesman added.</div>

Warg and the site's co-founders - Fredrik Neij and Peter Sunde, as well financier Carl Lundstroem - were convicted by a Swedish court of encouraging copyright violations in 2009.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
Neij, Sunde and Lundstroem all had their one-year jail terms reduced to between four and 10 months following an appeal in 2010.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
They were also ordered to pay nearly $7m (£4m) in damages for copyright infringement to music and movie companies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
However, Warg did not attend the appeal hearing, with his lawyer saying that he was too ill. The Swedish court then decided to uphold his sentence.</div>

The operations of the Pirate Bay were largely shut down in Sweden six years ago, but the website has continued to function.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
The site was founded in 2003, and claims to have more than 30m users worldwide.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 1.077em; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;">
No copyright content is hosted on the site's web servers. Instead, it hosts "torrent" links to TV, film and music files held on its users' computers.</div>

Google - Googol</span></h3>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Google was named after a googol - the name for the num</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-decoration: inherit;">ber 1 followed by 100 zeros - found in the book </span>Mathematics and the Imagination<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-decoration: inherit;"> by Edward Kasner and James Newman. To Google's founders the name represents the immense amount of information that a search engine has to sift through.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">

Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and BackRub</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">In 1995, Larry Page and Sergey Brin met at Stanford University as graduate students in computer science. By January of 1996, the pair began collaborating on writing a program for a search engine dubbed BackRub, named after its ability to do back link analysis.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrrDswYSFsiXqUJrfQqGAOCWo5x_uS4YYKvf636brFwkbqlWkdPmo8ygXmq2MJjF8F71x4GZIPcvXZea1_q5c3iJ5rfrp31hBjZvvKHWZa23mjrXLXhYZuBc0rgY2HOVQQ5GwnpuYQrM/s1600/doodle-4-google-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrrDswYSFsiXqUJrfQqGAOCWo5x_uS4YYKvf636brFwkbqlWkdPmo8ygXmq2MJjF8F71x4GZIPcvXZea1_q5c3iJ5rfrp31hBjZvvKHWZa23mjrXLXhYZuBc0rgY2HOVQQ5GwnpuYQrM/s400/doodle-4-google-1.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, fueled by the rave reviews that BackRub received, Larry Page and Sergey Brin began working on Google. Operating out of their dorm rooms, the pair built a server network using cheap, used, and borrowed PCs. They maxed their credit cards buying terabytes of disks at discount prices. They tried to license their search engine technology, however, after failing to find anyone that wanted their product at an early stage of development, Page and Brin decided to keep Google, seek more financing, improve the product, and take it to the public themselves.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Let Me Just Write You a Check</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">The strategy worked and after more development Google finally became a hot commodity. Co-founder of Sun Microsystems, Andy Bechtolsheim said after a quick demo of Google, "Instead of us discussing all the details, why don't I just write you a check?"</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The $100,000 check was made out to Google Inc., however, Google Inc. as a legal entity did not exist yet. Larry Page and Sergey Brin incorporated within two weeks, cashed that check, and raised $900,000 more for their initial funding.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In September of 1998, Google Inc. opened in Menlo Park, California and Google.com, a beta search engine, was answering 10,000 search queries every day.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-decoration: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On September 21, 1999, Google officially removed the beta (test status) from its title.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Anonymous has long been one of WikiLeaks's most loyal and vocal allies. Supporters bearing Anonymous posters regularly turned out at Assange's public announcements, and members of the group have waged an online campaign against critics of the whistleblowers' site.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">WikiLeaks said it is funded entirely by donations from members of the public. The site angered some users on Thursday after it made a donation page automatically appear before it allowed access to leaked documents. Some users are unable to view WikiLeaks material unless they choose to donate money to the site. WikiLeaks said on Twitter that the move was an attempt to counter what it called "high costs in military courts".</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The group added: "We have been worried about the direction WikiLeaks is going for a while. In the recent month the focus moved away from actual leaks and the fight for freedom of information further and further while it concentrated more and more on Julian Assange. It goes without saying that we oppose any plans of extraditing Julian to the USA. He is a content provider and publisher, not a criminal."</span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year, the revered physicist and cosmologist suggested that extraterrestrials almost certainly exist but that humans should be taking steps to avoid them rather than seek them out.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He said: “To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.”</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I suspect there could be life and intelligence out there in forms we can’t conceive,” he said. “Just as a chimpanzee can’t understand quantum theory, it could be there are aspects of reality that are beyond the capacity of our brains,” he said.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bulgarian government scientists from the country's Space Research Institute claimed two years ago that they were already in contact with extraterrestrial life.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They claimed that experts were trying to decipher a complex set of symbols sent to them, after posing aliens a list of 30 questions.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mr Filipov deputy director of the Space Research Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, revealed that the centre's researchers were analysing 150 crop circles from around the world, which they believe answer the questions.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Aliens are currently all around us, and are watching us all the time," Mr Filipov said.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mr Mitchell, who was part of the 1971 Apollo 14 moon mission, made the claims in a talk to the fifth annual X-Conference – a meeting of those who believe in UFOs and other life forms.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He also said he had attempted to investigate the 1947 'Roswell Incident', which some believe was the crash-landing of a UFO, but had been thwarted by military authorities.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He said: "We're not alone. Our destiny, in my opinion, and we might as well get started with it, is [to] become a part of the planetary community. ... We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I urge those who are doubtful: Read the books, read the lore, start to understand what has really been going on. Because there really is no doubt we are being visited.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">

<div style="line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Korean and Second World War soldier, said in 1955 that "the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets. The politics of the future will be cosmic, or interplanetary".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Vatican theologian, said: "Extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomenon.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The US President from 1980 to 1988, claimed he had seen a UFO himself. He said: "I looked out the window and saw this white light. It was zigzagging around. I went up to the pilot and said, 'Have you ever seen anything like that?' He was shocked and he said, 'nope.' And I said to him: 'Let's follow it!' We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light. We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens. When I got off the plane I told Nancy all about it."</span></div>

Facebook was invented by Harvard computer science student Mark Zuckerberg </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">along with classmates Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The origins to the name hints as to the history of Facebook, however, the website was originally and briefly called Facemash. Mark Zuckerberg was a second year student, when he wrote the software for the Facemash website. Perhaps, it was Zuckerberg's sophomoric sense of humor that led him to create the site as a type of "hot or not" game for Harvard students, where website visitors could compare two student photos side-by-side and let viewers decide who was "hot" and who was "not". Mark Zuckerberg put his computer science skills to good use by hacking into Harvard's security network and where he copied the student ID images used by the dormitories and used them to populate his Facemash website.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fashmash opened on October 28, 2003,and closed a few days later, shut down by Harvard execs. Mark Zuckerberg faced charges of breach of security, violating copyrights, and violating individual privacy for stealing the student photos he used to populate the site. He also faced expulsion from Harvard University for his actions. However, all charges were eventually dropped.</span></div>

On February 4, 2004, Mark Zuckerberg relaunched with a new website "Thefacebook". Six days later, Mark Zuckerberg again faced trouble when three Harvard seniors, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra, accused Zuckerberg of stealing their ideas for an intended social network website called HarvardConnection, and of using their ideas for TheFacebook. Winklevoss, Winklevoss, and Narendra later filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg, however, the matter was settled out of court.</span></span><br />

Zuckerberg enlisted a few of his fellow students to help grow the website: Eduardo Saverin worked on business, Dustin Moskovitz as a programmer, Andrew McCollum as a graphic artist, and Chris Hughes. Together the team expanded the site to additional universities and colleges.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b><span style="color: #444444;">1.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That is what my grandmother always telling me because having only single income is not only dangerous but also a slow way of accumulating wealth. As one of the definition on risk – “Risk is having only one single income”. For we do not know what the future holds, if it happens that our source of income is in danger or lost, it would be very hard to find another source.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Discipline is always the key. Do not buy things you do not need. In riding a plane, what is the difference between the business class and economy class? Do you really have to spend so much for that difference? Do you really have to buy branded clothes just to look good? Are the things you are planning to buy necessary? Again, live simple. It is not bad to buy expensive things as long as it has its use.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The good formula: income – savings = expenses</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most people save only after what is left at the end of the month. Savings should be part of your budget, not a left over.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1)<strong> Facebook is blue because Zuckerberg is color-blind:</strong> According to a <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/09/20/100920fa_fact_vargas#ixzz1wN2i458f" style="color: black;">2010 profile from the New Yorker</a>, Facebook’s main color is blue because Zuckerberg has a red-green color blindness. In the interview, he told reporter Jose Antonio Vargas that “blue is the richest color for me — I can see all of blue.”</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">

In several interviews and goals statements, Zuckerberg has made it clear that making money is not his first aim — connecting the world is. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 22.5px;">“Simply put: we don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services,” </span><a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/facebook-ipo-the-pressure-of-being-mark-zuckerberg/2012/05/18/gIQApO8KYU_story.html" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 22.5px;">Zuckerberg wrote</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 22.5px;"> in the company’s S-1 filing to go public.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) <strong>He’s a fan of Taylor Swift:</strong> Yep. Says so on his <a data-xslt="_http" href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/favorites" style="color: black;">Facebook profile</a>.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) <strong>He’s spent a year trying to only eat meat that he kills:</strong> Zuckerberg sets annual challenges for himself, and the challenge for 2011 was to <a data-xslt="_http" href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck" style="color: black;">move toward vegetarianism</a>and only eat meat that he killed himself.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The reason for this is that I feel lucky for having such a great life. I like eating meat and before this year I ate it almost every day,” he wrote. “In order to practice thankfulness, I want to be more connected to the food I eat and the animals that give their lives so I can eat them.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">

The ring has been a strange target of criticism, with</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span><a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2148972/Priscilla-Chan-wedding-ring-Mark-Zuckerberg-spends-25k-ruby-ring.html" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em;">the Daily Mail</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em;">criticizing the gem’s size and saying that it’s not nearly the rock that one would expect of a billionaire.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6) <strong>He loves his dog:</strong> Okay, maybe this isn’t surprising, but it is an important fact about Zuckerberg, if his Facebook page is any indication. <a data-xslt="_http" href="https://www.facebook.com/beast.the.dog" style="color: black;">Beast Zuckerberg</a> is a Puli, or a type of Hungarian sheepdog, and is the subject of several of Zuckerberg’s and Chan’s Facebook posts. He helped walk Chan down the aisle and even has his own page — on which he “says” he likes “cuddling and herding things.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7) <strong>Zuckerberg’s many nicknames: </strong>To friends, he’s Zuck, but according to a <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://articles.cnn.com/2010-09-20/tech/zuckerberg.facebook.list_1_mark-zuckerberg-facebook-jose-antonio-vargas/2?_s=PM:TECH" style="color: black;">2010 report from CNN</a>, his mom has her own special name for him: Princely.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The report also rounded up this tidbit from Harvard classmate Rebecca Davis O’Brien: Zuckerberg’s nickname after joining his fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi was “Slayer.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8) <strong>He once wore a tie every day for a whole year:</strong> Another one of his annual challenges that may surprise you: Zuckerberg once wore a tie every day for a year. That’s likely a surprise to anyone who knows that he normally wears a hoodie, jeans and sneakers — even when others think he shouldn’t.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But he went more formal for a year and outlined his reasons on his <a data-xslt="_http" href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck" style="color: black;">Facebook wall</a>: “My 2009 challenge was to wear a tie for a whole year. After the start of the recession in 2008, I wanted to signal to everyone at Facebook that this was a serious year for us. Great companies thrive by investing more heavily while everyone else is cutting back during a recession. But great companies also make sure they're financially strong and sustainable. My tie was the symbol of how serious and important a year this was, and I wore it every day to show this.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9) <strong>He really liked Andy Samberg’s impression of him on SNL: </strong>Zuckerberg is a figure of a lot of gentle (and not-so-gentle) ridicule in the media, but he particularly like the treatment he got on Saturday Night Live.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Andy Samberg plays me on SNL. I'm a big Andy Samberg fan so I thought this was funny,” Zuckerberg wrote on his <a data-xslt="_http" href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck" style="color: black;">Facebook Timeline</a>. Samberg later reprised his Zuck impression for f8, the social network’s developer conference.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10) <strong>He once built a program called ZuckNet, just for his family:</strong> Again from the<a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/09/20/100920fa_fact_vargas#ixzz1wN2i458f" style="color: black;">New Yorker profile</a>, Zuckerberg once built a program for his dad, Edward, who needed a quick messaging system for his dental office, and for the family home. It was, essentially, an early version of AOL’s Instant Messenger.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The receptionist used it to ping Edward, and the kids used it to ping each other,” the report said.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My second story is about love and loss.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Toy Story</em>, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My third story is about death.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://cultofmac.cultofmaccom.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/steve-jobs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="http://cultofmac.cultofmaccom.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/steve-jobs.jpg" style="line-height: 1.5em;" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was young, there was an amazing publication called <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Whole Earth Catalog</em>, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stewart and his team put out several issues of <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Whole Earth Catalog</em>, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3c30; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you all very much.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Someone told me that day "Life is a flashback".I heard it,nodded and looked through the windows of the train.</span><span style="line-height: 20px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">What did he mean?Twelve seconds was all i could spare thinking his words until a dashing girl's thought came and diverted my mind.</span></span><br />

<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">01.36 am:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Had a glass of water and went to bed after a long tiring journey.The moment i closed my eyes i realized the next morning won't be same as usual.The Alarm won't ring tomorrow.There will be no fight for bathroom or rush for the bus."No College Tomorrow" was all my lips could say.Now it was time for those words of that anonymous person to reserve a confirmed seat in my mind.The craziest part of human behavior is that when emotional situations arrive,it brings similar songs in mind too as if they were already tuned in the brain's music player.No song other than "yaadein yaad aati hain....." could have been best for that situation and it came in my lips even faster than the memories arriving in my mind.Only an engineering student has the capability to remember eight sems in eight minutes.Those eight minutes gave me snapshots of all bitter and better memories i had in my college life.Sound of shower gave an exactly demanded background music on that rainy night.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">02.15am:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The great battle between my sleep and memories had begun and i wondered which would win the race.Sleep with 8 hours journey in its team was strong but not strong enough as memories with my friends,my blank notebooks,my tours and most importantly my deck of cards in its team.I gave an advantage to sleep by turning off the night bulb but that wasn't a good move as darkness can defeat eyes not heart.My heart was somewhat 400 kms away from me in my hostels room which was now empty probably with no cell phones ringing, with no one shouting drunk,with no one playing the famous 29.It would be full again soon with new flowers arriving and the wall which read " sunny's palace" would be edited or deleted soon.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">03.45am:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I realized i had slept for a while lost in thought but the final battle was not over.I was curious to know whether it was still raining or not.My hands with drops of water in it proved it was still raining as i checked it through the window.I don't remember what was there in my mind at that moment otherwise i would have written it too.What i remember only is suddenly a car crossed by the road with an unconventional horn and i came back to the world.It was half past four in the morning.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I rushed to bed and tried to sleep but memories stole my sleep.The room,it was not a room rather it was my home,where i had spent my entire childhood seemed so unknown to me.All i needed was my dirty room with laptop,books and all possible accessories on my bed where i used to fight with my things to make some place for me to sleep.I needed that fight again.This win of comfortable bed was not what i wanted.Tears finally came showing a bit of shower inside too.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">

<div style="line-height: 20px;">

<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"aaj tu pehle nahane jaa"</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These were the words which came out of my mouth with a ray of sunshine falling on my half open eyes through the window.I didn't knew the winner of the battle that night but these words prove memories the winner although i had slept finally.Looking through the window i could just edit those words of that man "Life is a flashback.....still move on...."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="" class="lazyLoad" height="153" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sshot-7_thumb1.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: -2px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="sshot-7" width="363" /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now when you look at the file in explorer, you will see that it has a much bigger file size but the new file will still open like an ordinary image. The size that the file increases by will obviously vary depending on what you are hiding.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="" class="lazyLoad" height="116" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sshot-8_thumb5.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: -2px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="sshot-8" width="650" /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To get your file back, switch to the de-camouflage tab, select your picture, remember to check the box and input the same password you used to encrypt the file. If you use the wrong password your file will not be able to be decrypted, and you will get an error message like so.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="" class="lazyLoad" height="274" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sshot-95.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: -2px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="sshot-9" width="650" /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However if you supply the right password, your files will be extracted to the directory that you specified.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="" class="lazyLoad" height="274" src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sshot-10_thumb3.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: -2px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="sshot-10" width="650" /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Besides the obvious increase on file size there is no way that anyone would be able to tell that there was any hidden contents in the image.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Houston, we may have a hacking problem.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A new group of hackers calling themselves, 'The Unknowns,' hacked into NASA's database according to USA Today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The group stole and published a list of passwords and documents reportedly belonging to NASA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In their Pastebin post, they list other 'victims' of their hacks including, the US military, the US Air Force, the European Space Agency, the Thai Royal Navy and curiously, the Jordanian Yellow Pages.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More from GlobalPost: Geek love: Only in India would a man claim to work for NASA to pick up women</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sally Harrington, a public affairs specialist with the Glenn Research center in Cleveland, Ohio, commented on the hacking, telling TechWorld, "NASA security officials detected an intrusion into the site on April 20 and took it offline. The agency takes the issue of IT security very seriously and at no point was sensitive or controlled information compromised."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Techworld noted, The Unknowns released about 215MB of documents that they claim came from the US Air Force. The information varied from receipts, to emergency communications plans. Many documents were labeled unclassified. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The group claims their mission is not malicious, but rather to help. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Victims, we have released some of your documents and data, we probably harmed you a bit but that's not really our goal because if it was then all of your websites would be completely defaced but we know that within a week or two," said the groups post, "the vulnerabilities we found will be patched and that’s what we're looking for."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">USA Today points out, the group's mission is similar to that of Malicious Security (MalSec), a newly formed Anonymous spinoff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Groups like MalSec and The Unknowns who hack for 'ethical purposes,' are known as White Hats, says USA Today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The group sent a warning to all other sites in their Pastebin post, telling them to get ready for a hacking. “And for all the other websites out there: We're coming, please, get ready, protect your website and stop us from hacking it, whoever you are. Contact us before we take action and we will help you, and will not release anything... It's your choice now."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps they just want to be NASA's new web security team. </span><br />

<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Julian Assange has been in the news almost on a daily basis, ever since top secret US military reports and innumerable diplomatic cables were leaked by him two years ago.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This move was courageous if not daring, and the general public ought to be grateful that so many secret documents within the US government machine have been made public, showing terrible evidence about the war in Iraq, treachery, wide-spread corruption, illegal spying. Yet there are more, many more compromising documents and scenarios waiting to see the light of day and the US government is making tremendous efforts to get Mr. Assange under their control.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mr. Assange is to be extradited to Sweden where dubious allegations over sexual assaults were made against him. The obvious and devious spin behind the allegations is to get him back to Sweden and whisk him from there to the USA and throw away the key.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He has fought this extradition in the British courts and after 18 months of legal battle, the British Supreme Court surprisingly rejected Mr. Assange’s argument against extradition. After a court hearing of barely ten minutes, the decision was delivered by the 74 year-old president of the court, Nicholas Phillips, in one of his last major decisions before retirement this fall.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mr. Assange is currently under the protection of the Ecuadorean embassy. The Ecuadorean government has found that Mr. Assange’s application for asylum is justified; additional material he submitted shows that he has a well-founded fear of political persecution, and risks torture or the death penalty in the United States in connection with the publication of truthful information of matters of interest to the public through his work with WikiLeaks.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ever since Tony Blair and George W. Bush became best cousins and went to war against Iraq together, it appears British authorities are still in a lingering embrace with American authorities. Otherwise why would the British government make such a dim decision as to threaten Ecuador to suspend their embassy’s diplomatic status if they continue to shelter Mr. Assange, and moreover, threaten to have the British police enter the embassy building by force. The latter threat was later denied, denied, denied...</span><br />
