You have unsuccessfully logged out !!

Are you always in a habit of leaving your social network accounts logged in? This would be okay at your home, but at an internet centre or a friend's house, it is the most dangerous thing to do. In most of the internet center's that I have been to, the first thing that I would notice is not Google's new doodle but the e-mail ID of the previuos user flashing at the top right corner of the page. There are only few people in this whole planet who want to directly log the account off. The others are just intelligent to fondle with that account. So, to who ever who is reading this, please learn to log off your accounts, expecially at public centers.
The most hilarious situation where an unlogged off account was very useful is discussed as follows. A burglar, near Berkeley county, while robbing a house wanted to check his facebook account and leave. But his mistake was leaving his account online. This lead to the direct arrest of the burglar. This is the irony, it is happy to know that technology has reached almost everyone and sad to know that there are people so dumb in this world..!!

Mac App Store

The iPhone was a revolutionary device and it became even more popular than ever with the introduction of the App store. This blasted out thousands and thousands of both paid and free applications for the iPhone which was also extended to be used on  the iPad.

Now apple has let out its new store for mac called Mac App Store. It is all easy to install, just update your Mac software and when you restart after the update, the App store icon is displayed on the dock.

So, the app stores magic has been bought to the mac. This means that there will be no more need to buy software on compact discs. All the software can be easily updated and organized. An app can also be re downloaded once purchased.

It is always stuff like this that makes apple the master in innovations. Not to mention the amount of piracy that can be reduced.
