Free Software To Track Your Laptop If Stolen

ibnabeeomar — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:36:52 +0000

I recently came across this free software that I highly recommend downloading. It installs a software on your computer, and in case it’s stolen it lets you do a number of things like:

Locking the computer
Using GPS locator based on wifi signal to find the location
Take a picture of the user using the webcam
Send a message or sound an alarm

Most of us have tons of information saved on our computers such as banking passwords, credit card numbers, open access to email, and so on. This is a quick better safe than sorry solution.

Award Winning Powerful Photo – Mother and Son from Arab Spring

ibnabeeomar — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:32:17 +0000

This is the World Press Photo Contest’s Photo of the Year for 2011.

The international jury of the 55th annual World Press Photo Contest has selected a picture by Samuel Aranda from Spain as the World Press Photo of the Year 2011. The picture shows a woman holding her wounded son in her arms, inside a mosque used as a field hospital by demonstrators against the rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, during clashes in Sanaa, Yemen on 15 October 2011. Samuel Aranda was working in Yemen on assignment for The New York Times. He is represented by Corbis Images.

Comments on the winning photo by the jury

Koyo Kouoh: “It is a photo that speaks for the entire region. It stands for Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, for all that happened in the Arab Spring. But it shows a private, intimate side of what went on. And it shows the role that women played, not only as care-givers, but as active people in the movement.”

Nina Berman: “In the Western media, we seldom see veiled women in this way, at such an intimate moment. It is as if all of the events of the Arab Spring resulted in this single moment – in moments like this.”

Aidan Sullivan: “The winning photo shows a poignant, compassionate moment, the human consequence of an enormous event, an event that is still going on. We might never know who this woman is, cradling an injured relative, but together they become a living image of the courage of ordinary people that helped create an important chapter in the history of the Middle East.”

Manoocher Deghati: “The photo is the result of a very human moment, but it also reminds us of something important, that women played a crucial part in this revolution. It is easy to portray the aggressiveness of situations like these. This image shows the tenderness that can exist within all the aggression. The violence is still there, but it shows another side.”
