Canon Powershot SD1400 IS Digital [GUEST POST]

I have always liked the Canon’s line of Elph digital cameras, but I was really impressed with the new Canon Powershot SD1400 IS digital—and not just because it’s one of the coolest-looking and colorful cameras on the market.

The new Canon Powershot SD1400 IS digital has a resolution of 14.1 megapixels, one of the clearest on the compact market, so you can zoom into the pictures you take so much that new pictures you might have never even meant to take pop out of the background of your shots and stay clear enough to crop into a totally new image.

Most of us think being cool is important too, so for all of us, the Canon Powershot SD1400 IS digital is available in a bunch of colors from fun to sophisticated that suit just about anyone’s style. I also noticed they upped the quality of the digital zoom to a full 4x, and the LCD viewer is fantastic, even if you’re looking at it from far away, from an angle, or in really bright sunlight.

Plus, Canon threw in a bunch of cool effects in the Powershot SD1400 to make it even more powerful and fun. There’s a fisheye effect, and color swapping and color removal effects to make fun artsy photos with your friends, and this one even shoots video in HD and comes with an HDMI out so you can plug it right into the TV to watch your videos or view your photos.

For only $249, the Canon Powershot SD1400 IS digital is one of the coolest cameras around for its price!

Funny Hell and Jigsaw Boom - Gaming Saturday

Hello my dear friends! :) I hope you all are doing great :D Happy Saturday! ^_^



I was wondering to post about the Hackintosh building guide, but I have dropped the plan and I won't be posting it now. The reason is that the comprehensive guides are written by some mac experts and I don't want to be accused of copying anything from their websites, the reason being I would have used them for reference for sure. Thus, I have dropped that idea.

Anyways, I was thinking of posting some cool games. I was bored of posting the similar games, and last time when Gaming Saturday was posted, you guys must have seen some new type of games than the ones I generally share. Keeping with that I thought to post different types of games. So this time I am bringing for you all a Jigsaw puzzle game and a mario-type game which is funny, rather tooooooo funny!! haha! :D ( Don't mind so many o's in the tooooooo :P )

One more thing, as usual all the download links are 100% legal and free to use. So don't worry no malware/adware are attached, neither they are illegal. They are 100% legal, free, fun, etc. etc. etc.!! :D

Google Cleaning for 2013 - Fromrum Friday

Hey all! I hope you all are having a great Friday! :) Welcome to my blog on this Fromrum Friday! :D

Straight from Google's Blog

I am copying this content directly from the official google blog(Original article here). You all must take a look at the big changes coming in this year.

A second spring of cleaning
(Posted: Wednesday, March 13, 2013)

We’re living in a new kind of computing environment. Everyone has a device, sometimes multiple devices. It’s been a long time since we have had this rate of change—it probably hasn’t happened since the birth of personal computing 40 years ago. To make the most of these opportunities, we need to focus—otherwise we spread ourselves too thin and lack impact. So today we’re announcing some more closures, bringing the total to 70 features or services closed since our spring cleaning began in 2011:

• Apps Script will be deprecating the GUI Builder and five UiApp widgets in order to focus efforts on Html Service. The rest of the Ui Service will not be affected. The GUI Builder will continue to be available until September 16, 2013. For more information see our post on the Google Apps Developer Blog.
• CalDAV API will become available for whitelisted developers, and will be shut down for other developers on September 16, 2013. Most developers’ use cases are handled well by Google Calendar API, which we recommend using instead. If you’re a developer and the Calendar API won’t work for you, please fill out this form to tell us about your use case and request access to whitelisted-only CalDAV API.
• Google Building Maker helped people to make three-dimensional building models for Google Earth and Maps. It will be retired on June 1, but users are still able to access and export their models from the 3D Warehouse. We’ll continue to expand the availability of comprehensive and accurate new 3D imagery on Google Earth, and people can still use Google Map Maker to add building information such as outlines and heights to Google Maps.
• Google Cloud Connect is a plug-in to help people work in the cloud by automatically saving Microsoft Office files from Windows PCs in Google Drive. But installing Google Drive on your desktop achieves the same thing more effectively—and Drive works not only on Windows, but also on Mac, Android and iOS devices. Existing users will no longer be able to use Cloud Connect as of April 30.
• We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months.
• Beginning next week, we're ending support for the Google Voice App for Blackberry. For Blackberry users who want to continue using Google Voice, we recommend they use our HTML5 app, which is more secure and easier for us to keep up to date. Our HTML5 site is compatible with users with Blackberry version 6 and newer.
• We’re deprecating our Search API for Shopping, which has enabled developers to create shopping apps based on Google’s Product Search data. While we believe in the value this offering provided, we’re shifting our focus to concentrate on creating a better shopping experience for users through Google Shopping. We’ll shut the API down completely on September 16, 2013.
• Beginning today we’ll no longer sell or provide updates for Snapseed Desktop for Macintosh and Windows. Existing customers will continue to be able to download the software and can contact us for support. We’ll continue to offer the Snapseed mobile app on iOS and Android for free.

These changes are never easy. But by focusing our efforts, we can concentrate on building great products that really help in their lives.

Washington Post article, printing with permission

Google Reader being taken down news is a big concern for many webmasters. I know this news is quite outdated, but hey, I am a blogger, and google reader is about to be taken down this Monday, so just refreshing memories. So memories refreshed? :D See you all soon again. Have a great weekend up ahead! :)

What is Hackintosh? - Tech Tuesday

Hey all my dear friends! :D How are you doing. Posting at 11:00 pm? not my style, I know but it was long tiring day!



Maintenance of blog is going quite cool. I spent 2 hours today to make the banner exchange page look better. Trying to make lengthy pages appear a bit smaller, and decreasing page load time, etc. Phew, this blog optimization is a tiring work. I also accepted a few pending 'adult banner exchange' requests. I was reluctant to add those not so work friendly banners on my blog till now. But somehow I thought I should approve them. The request has lingered quite long :/ And of course as I was adding any other banners, not accepting those was not a cool idea. Let's leave this, and come to our topic of discussion.

And just to keep the article going I would first give a one line definition of Hackintosh - ahem, ahem! "Running Mac OS on any Hardware/Software environment that is not Apple Computer."

Do you know Macintosh(Mac)

I know you are wondering it to be a bad question, LOL! I know you all know the world renowned Apple Inc. Operating System, Macintosh? Rather "The Macintosh" :P But there are a few things not everyone knows, since they don't own it. Of course these are common things that mostly people know, but those who don't think about those extremely expensive products hardly care to add this to their knowledge. Instead of touching upon many of those and losing the essence of the article completely, I'll discuss just one that we need to know for our topic of discussion right now.

Apple does not license OS X for use on non-Apple computers

Yeah, the truth and rather the bitter truth. If you like that ultra bright looking UNIX based operating system and are fascinated by it but don't have the money to purchase that ultra-expensive Macbook, you certainly wished to use Mac. Else, there was some real cool app that runs only on Mac and you cry out loud thinking why you can't afford a Macbook. Then you rush to a nearby store and purchase a Macintosh OS disk(Not sure if they are this easily available to buy! LOL!). Just then you realize that whoa! money burnt! My too good to be bad PC can't boot that damn setup! >_< The problem is Apple doesn't want you to use Mac on anything other than what Apple sells >.> Of course this sounds disgusting, but well that's their rule, if you break it you are doing something illegal then how so much you fight later about it.

Solution - Hackintosh

Recently, I was reading the Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion License Agreement. Yes, I do read license agreements before blindly clicking I agree and proceed since I don't trust the companies and why should I? If they have made a clause that should have been paid attention to, but wasn't gievn much attention, the company might exploit such ignorant users later. So my advice, if not always, when you have time read the terms and conditions of use of those software. Anyways, we were talking about Hackintosh.

We already discussed Mac won't install in your machine directly and hence you need to do some tweaks. The Virtual one is an easy catch, but the real on requires careful selection and is advisable in 2 cases:

1. You have a lot of money to burn, or
2. You are buying a new PC

Why advisable in these two cases only? Because since Apple doesn't licenses you to use Mac on any other system so you need carefully selected hardware. The choice of your processor is also quite rigid that makes the choice of motherboards too thin. So building a hackintosh is no child's play.

I have found some nice articles on how to build your own hackintosh, and would share the guides with you all soon. But for this post let's keep ourselves just to the definitions, and this post then can be referenced in any post relating Hackintosh later, right? :)

Although here I gotta contradict what I said. Actually, building a hackintosh—that is, installing Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware—used to require extremely restricted hardware choices and quite a bit of know-how. Now your options are vast and the installation process is fairly simple. But that is all in comparison to the earlier versions. The process is not as simple as getting the Windows work! :)

Why would you need a Hackintosh?

• Mac is quite expensive, so cost is a very big reason to go for a hackintosh
• You have fun playing with your computer! :D "GEEKY STUFF" haha :D
• Do I need to buy Mac? I'm not sure it's worth. So just to get rid off these confusions, you can try a virtual hackintosh and see if you would like to buy a Macbook :)
• I don't want to buy Mac. I just want to use that good looking app designed for mac! A good reason to go for a virtual Hackintosh, or a real one if you like to spend more :)

So in summary hackintosh is just running Mac OS on non-Apple Computer. When talking about Virtual Hackintosh, which most people suggest because of costing, etc. issues, I would say it is very easy to build one with a correct set of guidelines. Booting the Vanilla Installer directly is quite a pain in the, *ahem!*, so many HackBoots are available to get through. Sounds all illegal stuff, right? From Apple's point of view, yes illegal, but from a tester point of view it is better to be sure of things before buying the actual stuff, and that too something which is this expensive!

I know I touched the definition of Hackintosh a little, but seriously the article won't have been more than a one-liner if I just shared the definition and walked away. I hope you all like the information I shared with you all. Stay tuned, I'll share the guides of building your own Hackintosh within a week or so. See you all soon again. Good Night for now :) Training tomorrow and also further maintenance work here on the blog. Phew! As the blog gets old the maintenance becomes more and more time consuming, especially when it is done once in a lifetime! LOL!!

Have a great night! :)

"Catch my breath" and "Since U be Gone" by Kelly Clarkson - Musical Monday

Hey all my dear readers! How are you? Welcome to my blog on this hot summer evening, phew! SUMMERS!! It's too hot outside



My training started today, it was quite tiring. I was thinking what to post here, then recalled it's a musical monday! :D So I'm here to post some cool songs! :D Enjoy! ^_^

"Catch my breath" by Kelly Clarkson

Lyrics

I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time

Catching my breath, letting it go,
turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them let me down,
it's all so simple now

Addicted to the love I found
Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud
Making time for the ones that count
I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith when it comes around
I will spent the rest of my life

Catching my breath, letting it go,
turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them let me down,
it's all so simple now

You helped me see
The beauty in everything

Catching my breath, letting it go,
turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them let me down,
it's all so simple now
It's all so simple now

Catching my breath, letting it go,
turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life,
I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back,
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them let me down,
it's all so simple now

"Since U be Gone" by Kelly Clarkson

Lyrics

Here's the thing, we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone

You're dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since you been gone

How can I put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone

How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
I get what I want
Since you been gone

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

Since you been gone (since you been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get
I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get it)
You should know (you should know)
That I get
I get what I want

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone

I hope you all like these songs. Have fun! :) I hope to see you all soon again! :D

"Garden Defence"; "Brick Shooter Egypt"; "Bird Valley" - Gaming Saturday

Hey all my dear readers! Happy Weekend! ^_^ I hope you all are doing good :)



So I am trying to keep up posting here! :D Bringing for you all 3 games from the Internet to download and play. As usual all downloads are legitimate, that is, legal, free and fun! :D So let's check the games! :D

Garden Defence

Description

The sleepy suburb of Lindencroft is under attack, and the Smith Family is the town's only hope! Allen and Laurel Smith have teamed up with their daughter, Charlotte, to investigate the swarms of ravenous critters eating the town's flowers, and stop the pests before it's too late. Help the Smiths by deploying a wild arsenal of lawn ornaments, bug-fighting plants and other oddball inventions to stop the threat in the Smith's backyard and beyond.

Place your items around the garden, then watch them fight the enemy. With the money you earn for defeating the pests, you can add more defenses, or upgrade the ones you have to be bigger, better, stronger, and weirder. Research new, more effective ways to protect your flowerbeds. With each garden that you rid of enemies, you draw closer to unraveling the mystery of the hungry bugs.

Do you have the nerves to withstand an onslaught of ferocious fruit flies, aggressive ants, and slimy slugs? Can you plant a spitting sunflower without losing an eye? Do you have the right screwdriver to attach a rocket launcher to a garden gnome? Then join the battle, and master Garden Defense!

The game sounds fun, take a look at these screenshots and you'll definitely love to play it! :D

Brick Shooter Egypt

Bird Valley

Description

This is a puzzle game. I don't think it is inspired from Angry Birds, but the birds look like the Angry Birds' characters! Let's not make any conclusions like that since it has nothing to do with this game, neither this is developed by rovio, nor we are fighting against the bad piggies. It is a simple same-colo-in-a-row matching game with simple rule, just get the same colored birds together and hunt for the artifact. Putting the same thing other way, Create sequences of birds of the same color and find Golden Bird artifact.The game has 250 levels, phew! that sounds long, erm VERY LONG! and 3 gameplay modes and various power-up bonuses! :D Would run smoothly on your old Windows 2000/XP machine, or a recent Windows 7/8 machine too. Being a small game, it is a funtime-pastime game with those easy-on-eyes graphics and very low resource consumption.

Check out these screenshots and if you too find it worth playing like I think it is, hit the download link! :D

So that's all for the day, see you all next time :) Good Day! :)

Copy.com cloud storage Review - My Take

Hey all my dear readers! :) I hope you all are doing great! :D See I kept my words as per my last post! :P



You guys do know what cloud storage is, right? Rather you know what Cloud is, correct? o.O er, NO? Chill, we will discuss that first then! :)

What is Cloud/Cloud Computing and Cloud Storage

Of course not the one that hides the sun, or rains down -_\ Right now we are discussing about the computer term, Cloud. We rather use the term Cloud Computing to be precise and specific. Cloud computing is a colloquial expression used to describe a variety of different computing concepts that involve a large number of computers that are connected through a real-time communication network(one of the most widely used such network is Internet). Cloud computing is a jargon term without a commonly accepted non-ambiguous scientific or technical definition. In science, cloud computing is a synonym for distributed computing over a network and means the ability to run a program on many connected computers at the same time. The popularity of the term can be attributed to its use in marketing to sell hosted services in the sense of application service provisioning that run client server software on a remote location.

The necessary thing to understand here is the fact that the central system with the data in a distributed network is not necessarily the case in cloud computing. At times, the data is distributed and shared among the whole network as if it were at a single place. The main use for a home user is Backup, which can be don on-the-go, and also retrieving the data/sharing it with friends even when not being at home. For businesses, it is more of shared space so that clients/employees in remote locations can work simultaneously on the same set of data hosted on the cloud.

Copy.com - An example of Cloud Storage

Anyways, our topic of discussion was this newly emerging cloud storage website Copy.com. Before I say anything, let's get some words straight from the horse's mouth! ;)

Copy is the easiest way to store, protect and share amazing things. It keeps your computers in sync and your files available from anywhere, even on your mobile devices. With Copy, you can also easily share files with anyone publicly or privately. Copy for companies extends the cloud storage and sharing benefits into corporate environments with user and group management and added control of proprietary company data.

I joined this website a few weeks ago and have been using it to store some files since then. The files I stored on Copy are those which I use regularly, either edit them or not, and some which are used rarely. This way it was easy to easy to analyze the software performance in varying situations. The things I would like to highlight before we proceed are:

1. I joined this website quite early
2. Since I have joined, the Copy Agent(Desktop Client) has been updated a couple of times
3. I have tested with files of varying formats(zip, rar, images, videos, documents, executables)
4. I have tested with files of varying sizes, ranging from a few KBs to a few hundered MBs

The following is the review of Copy.com, based on my experience. Of course this is not a sponsored post since I didn't tag it as one. This is my personal, and 100% genuine experience. I am dividing the review into four parts, Overview, Good Points, Bad Points, and Conclusion.

Overview

I joined Copy from a referrer. This meant that I got 5 GB Bonus Space. For the start I got 15 GB from Copy itself, that meant 15 + 5 = 20GB cloud storage. That sounded cool, I thought to check it out and the experience turned out to be a mixed one, though majority of it being a good one.

Good Points

• 15GB for every new comer
• 5 GB Bonus(limited time period offer) for both referrer and referred. You may join through my referral link: CLICK HERE
This would help me and you both! :D
• No file size limits. This is what copy itself claims and I tested with file sizes of a few hundred MBs and found their claim to be correct. This certainly is better than 25MB that iCloud offers to free customers, or 250MB(per file) that most of the other cloud storages offer.
• Direct Links of the files can be shared with people. The servers are secure and privacy is 100% You may opt to share some files publicly if you wish to, else you may distribute the link to your file to whomsoever you wish to share it with.
• FREE! With 20 GB for everyone who joins through referral, at least for now, I guess the free plan is good enough. More than that can be bought at a nominal fee, though still for most of the users, especially the home users, 20GB is more than sufficient.

Bad Points

• Copy Agent is slow, it adds up to the booting time of the PC if you add it to system startup
• Copy Agent is resource unfriendly. Currently I'm using v1.30.0347 and it eats up the system resources especially the CPU. Most of the time my idle CPU is at 50% usage(if I use my i3 2nd generation), and at around 30%(when I use my i5 1st generation).
• Most of the times the agent is unable to scan files which are modified or newly added
• Timeouts are a major problem most of the time, though they save Internet usage in times of useless of uploading, but still at times when things are normal, Timeouts are real pain in the, ahem!

Conclusion

Copy is a nice solution for personal Cloud storage for the time being. It is new in the market right now, so I guess it would be better to give it more time before we expect a Dropbox class service. The no-filesize-limit policy is truly amazing! The only bad point is the copy agent, that has although improved significantly since the first version that I used, but still needs much improvement, especially in the resource management part. For Business users, I would say take a back for now and let things settle down so that Copy becomes more reliable and at least wait till they release a nice update to the Copy Agent making it more resource friendly. Apart from that, the Copy Agent is quite user-friendly and everything is quite self explanatory. Also, the users can directly upload files without the need of Copy Agent, though it makes the seemless syncing is easy. The download/upload bandwidth can be limited using the options in the Agent, so nothing to worry about really! :)

Wassup on my side?

Hello my friends! :) How are you all? I'm doing good, by the way, and hope the same for you all! :)

Actually it's been a little while since my exams got over. Still I have not posted much here. Only a guest post this morning. Actually I have been damn busy since the exams got over. Now that does sound strange that after a long tussle with exams when they finally got over I am still busy, phew! :/

Well, I have been busy visiting relatives, buying books, and also looking around for training, which I finally found a good one and joined the other day. So the 6 weeks of the holidays, all that I have left now will be totally engulfed by that training. But don't worry that certainly doesn't mean I won't be posting here anything. I will be posting as regularly as I can.

For the coming time, I have a couple of things in my mind like a review of a cloud storage website I recently joined, and some games I want to share with you all. But apart from that I am looking for guest bloggers who would like to share stuff at my blog. I didn't know much of this guest blogging earlier, though I'm now trying to get familiar with this trend.

Apart from all this, I have updated my Disclosure policy, that can be found here. Also you might have noticed the link on the page-select bar above. Apart from all this, I have been busy with maintenance of my blog. What maintenance? You didn't notice any changes, right? Well they are minute. I have tried to improve the performance of my blog a little, deleted some redundant code, and also many broken links have been removed.

I was thinking of going on with a nice maintenance of all my posts to get rid of many broken links that must've been there in my old posts since videos get removed, websites are closed, etc. But with more than 250 posts, this task seems quite irritating and for the time being I have dumped this thought of mine.

So what maintenance is going on these days here? Well, I have been seeing if there are any link/banner exchanges that are no longer cool enough. I mean only I have their link here, or the link is broken, changed, etc. Such links are being renewed and removed. So a lot of small things here and there are going on my blog. So don't think that I am neglecting this place even though my exams are over for now.

I am trying to spend time here, but seriously things have been quite busy at my end. Also I am taking care of many things at the blog at the moment, and I will be coming with a few posts real soon.

Also I just want to inform you all again, that I have started to accept guest posts here and if you wish to make a guest post here, you can contact me at gp4blog@gmail.com. The post will be reviewed before going live, but certainly not be edited. At most 2 backlinks to your blog/website will be acceptable.

So that's all going on my side, how about you all? Hope to post here soon again! :) Good day friends! :D

Student life on screen [GUEST POST]

Here are ten movies about student life, and even though these movies are just a drop in
the ocean compared to how many there truly are, it is still hard to find realistic student
movies. So few student movies tell of what life is really like in schools these days. The
movies on this list each have a snippet of school life that you may recognize, but as for
authentic realism, they all seem to be deficient. The list is in no particular order, and you
should know that some descriptions contain spoilers.

1 - 10 Things I Hate About You

A new kid in the school has a massive crush on a girl, but the only problem is that to
date her, he is going to have to find a date for her sister. Her sister however is the
meanest girl in the school, so he has to go to great extremes to find someone who will
agree to date her.

2 - The Breakfast club

This is a story about five students who all have detention at the same time. As we learn
their stories, we see that they each have something in common, even though they are
all part of different cliques. Each student represents a different student stereotype.

3 - School of Rock

A lame guy pretends to be a teacher and takes it upon himself to teach the stuck-up kids
how to play music instead of learning things they will need. He does it all so that he can
enter a competition that his own band decided to enter, shortly after kicking him out of
the group.

4 - High School musical

No doubt, you have heard of this movie already, where child actors who are great at
singing but terrible at acting are forced through the stereotypical school story arch. If
you are already a fan of High School Musical then there is nothing that can be written to
sway you. If you have not seen it already then it is probably best to give it a miss and let
it fade into history.

5 - Mona Lisa’s Smile

Julia Roberts plays a schoolteacher in what turns out to be a finishing school. Eager
to teach the girls that they can be more than pretty wives, and she takes them on life
lessons. All of this happens as the girls’ lives take turns of their own.

6 - Mean Girls

The new girl Cady makes friends with the popular A-list girl clique when she joins a new
school. But then she has feelings for one of the ex-boyfriends of the popular girls, and
trouble follows.

7 - Donnie Darko

In this movie, we seem to experience the life of a student who becomes more and
more disturbed, until we realize that we are actually watching him relive events in his
disturbed little mind because he is sorry that he killed a girl.

8 - Carrie

This starts out as a story about an abused child, until she goes to school and we see that
the people at school are just as cold and evil as her mother. But the wronged girl gets
back at them by employing her telekinetic abilities to make them suffer. It is not a feel
good movie, but it is based on a Stephen King novel so you cannot expect gold.

9 - The Social Network

Based loosely on the life of Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg, it shows how he invented
the world’s largest social network, only to be sued and attacked by every power that be,
from privacy legislators and a former business partner, to two brothers who claimed he
stole their idea. This is not a typical student movie, but it is more realistic than a story
about kids who burst into song every time a student drops a pencil.

10 - School Ties

In this 1992 movie, Brendan Fraser tries to make it as a real actor, but apparently failed
(judging by his subsequent movies). In School ties, a Jewish boy attends a 1950’s elite
school, but his religion is exposed by another school student. At which point his school
life takes an irrecoverable turn for the worse.

"Mirrors" - Justin Timberlake

Lyrics

Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Aren't you something, an original, 'cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare 'cause I see truth somewhere in your eyes
Ooh I can't ever change without you, you reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you looking back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now (show me baby)
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life

Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, it's already gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are

You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life

Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do

You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life
You are you are the love of my life

"Suit & Tie" by Justin Timberlake

Lyrics

I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit, tie
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
Can I show you a few things?
A few things, a few things, little baby cause
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
I be on my suit and tie shit, tie shit
Let me show you a few things
Let me show you a few things

Wait a minute
You ready, JT?

I can't wait til I get you on the floor, good-looking
Going out so hot, just like an oven
And I'll burn myself, but just had to touch it
It's so fly and it's all mine
Hey baby, we don't mind all the watching
Cause if they study close, real close
They might learn something
She ain't nothing but a little doozy when she does it
She's so fly tonight

And as long as I've got my suit and tie
I'mma leave it all on the floor tonight
And you got fixed up to the nines
Let me show you a few things
All pressed up in black and white
And you're dressed in that dress I like
Love is swinging in the air tonight
Let me show you a few things
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things about love
While we're in the swing of love
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things about love
Hey

Stop, let me get a good look at it
So thick, now I know why they call it a fatty
Shit so sick got a hit and picked up a habit
That's alright, cause you're all mine
Go on and show 'em who you call daddy
I guess they're just mad cause girl, they wish they had it
My killer, my thriller, yeah you're a classic
And you're all mine tonight

And as long as I've got my suit and tie
I'mma leave it all on the floor tonight
And you got fixed up to the nines
Let me show you a few things
All pressed up in black and white
And you're dressed in that dress I like
Love is swinging in the air tonight
Let me show you a few things
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things about love
While we're in the swing of love
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things about love
Hey

Hey, get out ya seat, Hov

All black at the white shows
White shoes at the black shows
Green card for the Cuban linx
Y'all sit back and enjoy the light show
Nothing exceeds like excess
Style got gout from having the best of the best
Is this what it's all about?
I'm at the restaurant with my rent
Disturbing the guests
Years of distress, tears on the dress
Try to hide her face with some makeup sex
This is truffle season
Tom Ford tuxedos for no reason
All Saints for my angel
Alexander Wang too
Ass-tight Denim and some Dunks
I'll show you how to do this young!
No papers, catch vapors
Get high, out Vegas
D'usses on doubles, ain't looking for trouble
You just got good genes so a nigga tryna cuff you
Tell your mother that I love her cause I love you
Tell your father we go farther as a couple
They ain't lose a daughter, got a son
I show you how to do this, hun!

And as long as I've got my suit and tie
I'mma leave it all on the floor tonight
And you got fixed up to the nines
Let me show you a few things, show you a few things
All pressed up in black and white
And you're dressed in that dress I like
Love is swinging in the air tonight
Let me show you a few things

Let me show you a few things, show you a few things
Show you a few things about love
While we're in the swing of love
Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things about love, hey
Ohh...

All pressed up in black and white
And you dressed in that dress I like
Love is swinging in the air tonight
Let me show you a few things, show you a few things

Let me show you a few things, show you a few things
Show you a few things about love, love, love
L-l-let me show you a few things, show you a few things
About love
Hey!

Ooh!

Ba da da doo!
Yeah yeah

I hope you all like these songs. Have a great day, and have fun. I hope the next exam goes on well!! :) See ya all soon!!
