Hardwire Film Leaked!

To anyone like me, who loves a good movie, I noticed today that the film Hardwire is on IceFilms.info After watching the trailer on youtube I thought it would be worth watching, it looks pretty interesting.

Just some background information about www.IceFilms.info, I ran into this site last year, most notably when the unfinished xMen movie was leaked, and there quality and content is top notch. I would also recommend using Ovguide.com if your ever searching for movies online.

6 Easy Steps to Stay Safe on Facebook

It is no secret that Facebook is the dominating social-networking site in the United States. This becomes especially apparent when even the President warns children about what they post and say on Facebook. Today, more than 30% of employers are using facebook as a reference for future employees. Kind of like a picture resume. So what is the best way to regulate your Facebook page? Because we all know that deleting it is not an option...

Below are 6 easy steps you can take to help your page become more secure and private and less vulnerable to suspicion. You don’t have to be tech savvy to understand these easy directions. All it takes is a little time and concentration and you are on your way to a fastened profile!

Step 1: Make friend lists

Categorize your friends, colleagues, family and whomever else you know so you can control who sees certain sections of your profile. The nice thing about these lists is that once they are set, you won’t have to do it again. You can do this under the privacy settings and then by clicking profile.

Step 2: Who can see what on your profile

Your privacy settings are very important. Having a public profile means that every person, friend or not, can see every tagged picture, video and wall posts. Secure this by clicking “only friends” or choose a certain friend list that you made in step 1.

Step 3: Who can see your address and phone number

This seems so obvious but people still have their personal information displayed to the public. Control this by limiting who can view your contact section or even taking out your contact information if you want to ensure safety.

Step 4: Who can find you on Facebook via search

Limit this by choosing from options such as “only friends, friends of friends, everyone, or customize” in the privacy setting under search. This will keep random people from sending you friend requests.

Step 5: Stop sharing personal information with unknown applications

You receive random quizzes and surveys almost daily. It is best to limit your interaction with these because you are sharing too much personal information that could potentially hurt you. Edit this by going to your privacy settings, then applications and then click the tab that said settings (next to overview). Be sure to uncheck any information that you do not want readily available to your friends and random people!

Step 6: Untag yourself!

Had a rough night and someone just happened to capture a picture of it? The best way to avoid unwanted pictures of yourself is to tell the person or friend not to post it in the first place. But if they do anyway, be sure to untag yourself so future employers are not reliving the night with you! It is a simple task that many people overlook. Simply click "remove tag" where your name is located under the picture.

Macs at Math Empo automatically download music from Pandora!!

Yea! Wow!
I am more than excited to share my experience at the Math Emporium with you! Today while studying for my Rhetoric Tradition exam which is tomorrow, I did what a lot of you may do and that is listen to music.

Listening to music for me has always been a pain, First I am not very good at finding good music nor very good at finding new music, Second: I like the iPod, but uploading music to it was a pain, I'm not a big fan of iTunes... I know.. I know its not that hard but the less steps I have to take the better.

Did I mention I am not very good at finding new/good music? That's why I use Pandora.com . Basically Pandora.com is a website that plays steaming music to your computer, but it only plays music you like, so if you like Mrs.Officer by Lil Wayne Pandora will only play music that is similar.

In all honesty I was surprised by how well Pandora was able to select music I liked, I liked almost everything it played. Also a feature I find especially useful when I have company over, s that Pandora will automatically play the next song on the list. SO, you can start Pandora and leave it alone and it automatically plays music, NICE, no more searching for songs in my library.

ANYWAYS! Today while in the Math Emporium I was listening to Pandora when I noticed on the right that Real Player (an application) had a number on its icon. So I click on it and what do ya know, It automatically was downloading Pandora's music files (as FLV)!!!

THIS WAS GREAT! At home, on my windows machine, I had been using Orbit, a streaming downloader application, which requires a couple more steps to actually download the song.

Note: If you use Orbit to download streaming music from pandora, the files will be in MOV format not FLV, and at least for me the extension was not added onto the files.. FYI: I was trying to convert my "unknown" filetype to mp3 or wav so that I could burn my songs onto a Audio CD.

DX Express Make Over - A welcome change

Although this post is not technology related, I believe any pro-active change is worth noting.
As long as your not a freshman you might have noticed DX Express got quite the make over, a change I welcome with open arms. For anyone who has visited DX express this year will notice the sleek design of the New DX Express.

For starters the area where students debate which food is going to fill their tummy has expanded... well maybe not expanded but the equipment in this area has been moved around, if not completely removed, allowing more room for people like me, no I'm not fat, I just can never make up my mind. So now there is more room so what? Well besides the rearrangement, that area is clean and modern looking.

Not only has the food purchasing area undergone a change, the area where hungry students eat has been completely overhauled. This area also makes use of friendly, efficient seating unlike the old area, that left little room for people to sit and enjoy their meal.

Kudos to you DX Express for taking an eye sore and turning it into eye candy! And for the 32"+ Lcd Tv's!
