CLEAN DRINKING WATER FOR ALL

1 Fact: 1 billion people do not have clean drinking water. Where: Africa and India are most affected.

The threat: More people are lost in the world through this situation than war.

The solution: We can make a difference through UNICEF Tap Project. If you want to, please do.

True fact 2: For as little as $10, one person can have clean drinking water for a lifetime.

That’s like a beer at a Hollywood club with the tip. Amazing aye! Act. Bump this post on too. Let’s flow. :)

FACEBOOK BROTHERHOOD – GROWING UP WITH MARK ZUCKERBERG IN PICTURES

Grow up with Mark Zuckerberg throughout the years in 6 pics via Time Magazine on S.U.

What a guy!

In Time’s latest Person of The Year Awards? Mr. Zuckerberg is listed as no.1 most influential person of 2010. He is also described as being the leader of ‘the third largest nation on earth’ or, with 600 million (one tenth) of the world’s population in his self-made kingdom.

If you’re a Facebook community peep, this would technically make Mark your ‘founding father’ or in modern day speak “your daddy.”

These photos of Zuckerberg growing up, also give a vibe of Mark being your older or younger bro too.

He’s everywhere. With a sister with a name Randi, growing up, how could you not do something awesome to put people together? *jokes*

Mark shares his fame with the J.K Rowlings audiences of her books and films by featuring his family at the Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando, Florida. A generous gesture from a dude, who really is the real life boy wizard with a Facebook wand. Magic is in peoples simple every day words, they are allowed to share with the world and others they care about.

What is the most important thing in the world? People. People. People. This man, from the least to the greatest has included US all and our humble knowledge of words we want to share with others in his vision and enterprise.

SNOOP DOGGS! SIS UPS THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT OVER PRIVATE CITIZENS PHONE, PC INFO AND MOVEMENTS

While Prince Harry Windsor announced that he was interested in hiring Snoop Dogg for his brother Prince William‘s bachelor party celebrations, this is not the kind of fun Snoop Dogg experience New Zealanders are talking about today.

TV3 News reports via Deanna Harris: The Security Intelligence Service of New Zealand is to get greater powers to snoop into personal computers and electronically track people in their vehicles.

Prime Minister John Key has introduced the New Zealand SIS amendment bill designed to update the New Zealand Security and Intelligence Service Act 1969.

“The original legislation is over 40 years old and modernising it is long overdue,” says Mr Key.

“The bill updates the warrants framework, paying particular attention to electronic tracking devices, computer surveillance and technologies like mobile phones and cyber identities. In practice this does not change the threshold to obtain a warrant.

“In New Zealand the SIS currently issues approximately between 11 and 15 domestic warrants each year and I don’t expect number to alter because of the change in legislation.

“What the amendments do is bring the legal and technological framework around the New Zealand SIS up to date.”

The bill will have its first reading on Thursday.

Commentary: New Zealanders are very transparent people as a rule. When the New Zealand government collects this information, where exactly does it go? And why?

Whatever happens in New Zealand–always sets a precedent for other nations. New Zealand is always a guinea pig of new systems. Especially digital and “Snoop Dogg” systems. The bill needs updating for sure though. 1969, wow! The gov will at least need to know what is going on with Facebook. That’s the biggie.

WALL STREET JOURNAL ON GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK DRAMA

Tee shirt slogan Humor: “I work my Facebook  9-5. It’s not easy these days–so many profiles, pictures and relationship status updates to keep up with. I generally try to take at least a one hour lunch break from Facebook.”

A mantra of 500 million people, the “youth” of today, Facebook users.

Are Facebook Lads too much about take, and not enough give?

Reports the Wall Street Journal: “Google Inc. is launching a salvo against Facebook Inc., saying it will no longer allow the social network to grab information about Google users’ social and professional contacts in Gmail, Google’s email service.

Google has always allowed Google users to transfer data, including their contacts, to other websites. Until now, new Facebook users could find out whether their contacts on Gmail also had Facebook accounts, simply by typing in their Gmail user name and password as part of the Facebook signup process.”

That’s all changing as Google wants to be Facebook too. And develop it’s own similar service to Facebook. The article gives the outcome of Facebook’s unwillingness to share as being this result:

“Google’s move, reported earlier by TechCrunch, can be seen as largely symbolic. It comes six years after Facebook’s launch and the social networking site now has more than 500 million users, many of whom previously exported their Gmail contacts lists to Facebook.

In addition to competing on the social-networking front, Google and Facebook are expected to compete more heavily in the race to sell so-called display ads online.”

It’s all about the advertisers buck, and, Google and Facebook realizing that more and more people watch their own personalized TV clips choices online more and more.
