The defendant Jeffrey B. Goodin faces up to 101 years of imprisonment. By sending mass mails, especially phishing mails, this 45 year-old took the Californian Bank for a ride by stealing sensitive credit card data. Since then, the US Justice has implemented a rigid set of anti-spam rules (CAN-SPAM Act), makin life harder for potential spammers. Even Viagra advertisements can earn spammers a long prison sentence or a hefty fine-good news as the majority of spam originates from America

However, till now the American war against spam terror has been ineffective-spam statistics have in fact increased. On an average the amount of undesired advertisement mails doing the rounds of the Internet is between 90 and 95 percent of all the mails, according to Rene Wienholtz, chairperson of the computing center of the Webhosters Strato The reason for the increase: spammers have resorted to smarter techniques. Instead of simple text messages, spammers now pack their advertisements with pictures. Many of

the popular text-based content filters that succeeded in protecting mail clients are oblivious to picture-based spam, letting them in unquestioned. OCR filters (Optical Character Recognition) is not really suitable as it it requires too much computing power and would make your mail delivery take ages. Just think-severa SPs filter anywhere between 65 to 90 million mails each month

If your inbox is spammed, it not only costs time, it is also extremely annoying. Spam is also dangerous, considering the number of viruses that make their way through e-mail. So the only way out is to declare all-out war against spam! We show you how, using a defensive and offensive methodology.

Tired of the slick city lights? Wanna try you hand at a Mac Truck in a desert? Go aheat shove this High Def off-roading piece of art in your new PS3. Forget the rules, forget the ethics, just floor the gas pedal and whack the senses out of your opponent. Wanna get some serious air? Just hit the X button to trigger the nitrous boost and point your mud slugger towards a ramp. But beware! If you overdo it your engine can overheat and blow you up into a cloud of shards and it will rain shrapnel.

The mud slinging genre had been getting stale for the past few years, but then came Motostorm. The game is set in Monument Valle’ in the state of Arizona and features vehicles as varied as dirt bikes, ATV’s and big rigs. Believe me; squishing your opponent’s skull under a truck’s monstrous rollers is a lot of sadistic fun. Crashes feature spectacular damage and particle effects and practically make the sand grit between your molars. Realistic high dynamic range lighting and motion blur does its part well in immersing you into the rugged and aggressive world of dirt racing. Turn on motion sensitivity and tilt the six axis controller for steering, you can even yaw the controller up and down to do wheelies and stoppies. The lack of sensitivity control makes the feature feel like a gimmick after a while and seems like the easiest way to downright suicide. The vehicles handle pretty well and riders fall off when turning at unrealistic angles, the debris budges and makes bikes crasl but after a while the arcade element does get to you as the physics on the console are not really there yet.

Most of the digital images requires sharpening to get high quality. When an image is used for printing purpose precise sharpening is needed. In Adobe Photoshop, it can be done very easily. Photoshop filters can be used to make the images more distinct.

In the photoshop Filter Gallery, There are some filters: Sharpen, Sharpen More, Smart Sharpen, Sharpen Edges etc.Smart sharpen is a better way.

But these filters increase the Blur details also. Here is a smart way to sharpen image precisely using High Pass filter.

Step-1:  Open the image

Step-2: Duplicate the background layer. Change its blending mode to overlay.

Then Apply high pass filter. Choose Filter > Other > High Pass. Change the Pixel radius to get precise sharpening. Pixel radius between 1 to 2.0 is enough.

Fine tuning can be done by duplicating the second layer (In which high pass filter is used) and adjusting its opacity.

ennheiser, the German giant of professional audio has launched itself in India so now you can expect to have the most supreme professional microphones, headphones and wireless transmission systems closer at home.

We didn’t know how to express our joy on hearing this development by Samuel Newton who is a direct descendent from Isaac Newton’s family. Teleporting has finally become a reality And unlike most other inventories, this device called the Exit Machine has not required to go through hundreds of drafts as the third draft itself has been finalized with no detected flaws The first test of Exit Machine’s final version had the team of scientists head by Samuel Newton transport a moose   . to Jupiter and it has been an absolute success with the pictures we received of the moose happily wandering on the surface of Jupiter with its supply of food and a camera at its head. The moose was put in the ‘In’ box of the Exit Machine in a shed near Area 51 and it was switched on and inside seconds it appeared on the fifth planet from the sun. The ‘Outbox’ on Jupiter was desptached three months prior to this development with DHL’s latest

cargo plan that has made it possible to send items to three planets. Since this ncident, Mr. Newton has gone absconding and has reportedly left for the woods to find his spiritual side because he believes he has achieved everything he could as a human. He has also said in his last press conference post the success of the Exit Machine that it should be thoroughly destroyed and ensured that it is not misused in the future . A team of scientists were sent to carry out this task * and though they destroyed it convincingly it was hard to console them after the event. “We have lost the 8th wonder of the world”, said Franklin Tommy, a close friend of Samuel and owner of the transported moose. We are the first to officially report this as it has been a covert operation and we have had our hands in making this possible. This operation was undertaken on April 1 but I’m sure you will agree as much that it is true
