Mark Zuckerberg - The CEO and Founder of Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg, The CEO of facebook also feels that SOPA and PIPA bills should be opposed.He says facebook opposes these two bills that will hurt the Internet.He stated this as a status update in his profile.Earlier Wikipedia protested against the bills. He was quoted saying

The internet is the most powerful tool we have for creating a more open and connected world. We can't let poorly thought out laws get in the way of the internet's development. Facebook opposes SOPA and PIPA, and we will continue to oppose any laws that will hurt the internet. The world today needs political leaders who are pro-internet. We have been working with many of these folks for months on better alternatives to these current proposals. I encourage you to learn more about these issues and tell your congressmen that you want them to be pro-internet.

The full version of Facebook's views against this bill can be read at https://www.facebook.com/FacebookDC?sk=app_329139750453932 .

Wikipedia page displaying the news.

Wikipedia.org the largest encyclopedia in the world has gone on a 24 hour black out to protest against the legislation by US Congress that could damage the free and open nature of the Internet.I was trying to get information about a person and this page popped up instead.

Well on clicking the learn more link at the page, i came to know that Wiki is protesting against two bills the SOPA(Stop online piracy act ) and PIPA(Protect IP act).These bills as Wiki and Electronic Frontier Foundation says would hinder the free and open nature of the Internet. The bill if passed will not only affect US citizens but also people all around the world.The EFF explains why at How PIPA and SOPA violate white house principle of free speech and Innovation.

You can also read about the bills at the Wikipedia page  SOPA and PIPA.

Well you can access Wikipedia from your smartphones and mobile devices as of now.

Bloodshed Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2

While i began using Dev C++ to do cpp programs as my laptop(a dell xps 16) runs on 64-bit Windows Vista OS and doesn't support normal compilers like the Turbo C++.

Consider the program i have written in Dev C++ which shows a few errors:


#include
#include
void main()
{
     int a,b;
     cout<<"Enter two numbers whose sum to be found :";
     cin>>a>>b;
     cout<<"\n The sum is: "<
     getch();
}


Now this program in logic doesn't have any errors can be compiled and used under Turbo C++ compiler and not on this one.The errors for the above written program are listed below:

• 1 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\backward\iostream.h:31,               from C:\Users\Athul Jayachandran\Desktop\sum.cpp In file included from C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/backward/iostream.h:31,               from C:\Users\Athul Jayachandran\Desktop\sum.cpp 
• 32:2 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\backward\backward_warning.h #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting the header for the header for C++ includes, or instead of the deprecated header . To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated. 

The following two errors occur due to the calling of header file iostream.h so instead of calling iostream.h call  just iostream using a pre-processor and also instead of cout and cin use std::cout and std::cin and try compiling again.This should work.

Now the code would change to the following:


#include
int main()
{
     int a,b;
     std::cout<<"Enter two numbers whose sum to be found :";
     std::cin>>a>>b;
     std::cout<<"\n The sum is: "<
}

Compiler returns no errors now

Program has been compiled and run.

I tried compiling this same and this worked.Hope this helps, Have a nice day !

 The Motorola Defy Mini Promo
Motorola has came up with a smart move by rolling out the new Motorola Defy Mini a shorter version of two successful models the Motorola Defy and the Motorola Defy Plus.The Motorola Defy Mini sports a 600Mhz processor and a resolution of 480x320 pixels with 180 ppi pixel density.Just like it's big brothers Defy and Defy+ the Defy Mini is life proof(as Motorola calls it), Which means it is dust-resistant, scratch resistant, and water resistant.The camera is 3.2 mega pixels and not 5 compared to it's higher versions and also has a 0.3 pixel front camera which supports video calling.The Motorola Defy Mini.

I know a lot of people who joined Adsense after hearing about and seeing my Google Adsense drafts back home.Some friends managed to get their webpage approved while others couldn't even manage that.Those who managed to get an Adsense account later complained that they were generating very less revenue and traffic say 0.10$ per day or 1$ per month etc.

The reason is that they aren't patient.Patience is something you need when starting a blog and implementing Adsense,Your blog should be concentrated on something you love to blog on.A particular topic instead of going for a range of topics at start.Now the next thing is the patience, nobody would earn say 10$ or anything after the first day,it will take months for earnings to be consistent.We bring you a video by Lisa from 2CreateAwebsite highlighting the main mistakes you commit after getting into adsense.
