10 things you can learn from Twitter

-->
Get this: A new review of research from Michigan State University found that students who used Twitter had higher GPAs at the end of the semester than those who didn't.
But besides constant updates--and apparently a boost in study habits--you can learn a helluva lot more than 140 character news tidbits from the social media hub.

In fact, here are nine more ways your Twitter feed can help you. The best part? You don't even need to leave the house..
1. You'll be the first to know
Whether you're following the trending hashtags #Frankenstorm or #Sandy to follow the storm, or your favorite sports team to keep up with the score, you're going to be the first to know about big stuff--right when it happens. In fact, Twitter has been first to break news stories like Whitney Houston's death and even the raid of Osama Bin Laden. If you're on the East Coast this week, follow handles like the National Hurricane Center (@NHC_Atlantic), or CNN Breaking News (@cnnbrk) to follow the storm.

2. You can predict the future
You don't need a Wall Street analyst if you've got Twitter. According to a new study in which tweets were categorized by emotion, there was a correlation between the tone of a tweet and events such as Election Day 2008. Results showed public anxiety leading up to Election Day, but an increased calm on the actual day. Leading up to this year's election, follow both presidential candidates on Twitter at @BarackObama and @MittRomney, and watch the tempers fly.

3. You can find a job
You can't upload your resume to Twitter, but a recent study found that 34 percent of job hunters rely on the little bird to help them find work. There are search engines such as Monster.com that provide careers advice through Twitter (@MonsterCareers) and certain companies who also have their own career handles. For example, Verizon tweets job openings and career fair information at @VerizonCareers. And if you can't find a handle for your desired company, broaden your search by using hashags such as #JobPosting or #Jobs.

4. You can get a promotion
A recent study out of Cornell University found that people tend to wake up positive, but that emotion declines over the course of the day. Researchers gathered data from public Twitter posts all around the world. So put your game face on when you walk into the office, and ask for that raise early--your boss is more likely to be in a better mood, Twitter says so. (Then make sure to master the

5. You can stop a cold in its tracks
Use the hashtag #FeelingSick the next time you feel under the weather. Geotagged tweets--4.4 million, to be exact--containing the word "sick" allowed a team from the University of Rochester in New York to accurately predict the onset of flu symptoms. But no social media site can beat the

Why you should worry about online stalking

-->
In 2008, Alissa got a summer gig waiting tables at a local restaurant in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Fifty-nine-year-old Roger Troy had taken to sitting in her section. To Alissa, then 21, he seemed harmless enough—a lonely guy, bald and paunchy, who just wanted some attention—but when he asked for her number, she refused. He kept asking, though, so eventually she gave him an email address to an account she rarely used. “She didn’t want Troy calling but thought if he had her email he’d stop bugging her,” recalls Brent Blanton, Alissa’s boyfriend at the time.

Troy would email to ask Alissa to let him know what shifts she was working, which she did. Then one day, as she was leaving work, Troy tried to hug her. Alissa’s manager intervened before Troy got close enough, but the incident spooked her; she began ignoring his emails. Two weeks later, she quit to start her job at a local school. Angry, Troy took to his computer. “Too bad you let John [the manager] ruin a good friendship,” he wrote in an email. “I really did ‘love you to bits’ in a fatherly way….”
Alissa mentioned to Brent that Troy was sending creepy emails but left it at that. “She hated talking about him,” Brent says. “She didn’t want me to worry about her.” Alissa stopped checking the account, figuring Troy would get bored and leave her alone, and instead focused on her upcoming wedding—Brent had proposed that winter and the couple was happily planning a late-summer ceremony on the beach. “Right after we got married, she happened to log in to her old account,” Brent says. “There were hundreds of new emails from Troy. That’s when I realized how serious this was. He was obsessed.”

The couple immediately went to the police. “We showed the officer the emails—some of which contained details about Alissa’s hair and weight, things that Troy could know only because he’d been following her,” Brent says. “His only advice was to file for a restraining order, but he made it seem like we wouldn’t get one, since it wasn’t a crime to email someone.”

Believing there was nothing the police could do, Alissa and Brent tried to move on with their lives. In October 2009, they signed the papers on a little three-bedroom fixer-upper on a side street in Cocoa. “Alissa was so excited about owning our first home and tackling some DIY projects,” Brent recalls. That January, the two were doing yard work when they found an envelope in the grass addressed to Brent. It wasn’t postmarked. Inside was a three-page letter from Troy detailing a series of fictional affairs involving Alissa: “If you knew what I know, you would run [away] and not leave [her] a forwarding address…. You should have kicked her cheating, lying ass…to the curb. What the HELL is wrong with [you]?”

Freaked out that Troy had apparently been to their home, Alissa filed for a restraining order. A hearing followed, but the judge wasn’t convinced that Troy posed an imminent threat. He scheduled another hearing for a few weeks later and declined to issue a temporary restraining order in the interim. “We were really upset by the decision,” Brent says. “Alissa was such a happy person, but after the hearing she was anxious

5 social media mistakes that mess with your career

-->
One wrong tweet, and you could lose more than just a few followers--you could lose your job. In March, two developers were fired after one of them took to Twitter to complain about sexist jokes that the other had made at a tech conference. The male developer was fired because of his comments, and the female developer appeared to be laid off due to the harsh backlash she and her company received in response to her tweets.

Whether these employees should have been let go is debatable, but the incident is a good reminder that companies are keeping tabs on what you post online--and they can punish you for it. "Social media is not trivial anymore," says Miriam Salpeter, author of Social Networking for Career Success. "We have to realize that even though something may seem like a throwaway comment, people are listening."
So how can you make sure that your social networking habits aren't screwing with your career? Start by avoiding these major mistakes:

Mistake #1: You don't know your company's policy
More businesses are adding social media stipulations to their employee handbooks, says Mike Haberman, human resources consultant for Omega HR Solutions. So now might be a good time to actually read all that paperwork you received when you were hired. Even if your employee handbook doesn't specify that you could be terminated for a rogue Facebook post, that doesn't mean you're off the hook. Companies will often find a way to fire someone if they feel it's necessary, says Salpeter. Most workers are employees at will, which means they can be fired at any time, for any reason, she says. So it's crucial to know what might get you in trouble before you do it. If that's not outlined in the handbook, schedule a meeting with HR ASAP to find out what the policy is.
Mistake #2: You stir up controversy
Advertising your political or religious beliefs on Facebook and Twitter is practically the norm these days, but these types of posts can backfire at work, warns Salpeter. After all, if something seems offensive to your HR department, it could result in a reprimand or even a termination. And it's not just the usual hot-button topics you have to worry about. Even something that you don't automatically view as controversial--like following Chris Brown on Twitter or posting about sexual health rights--can affect someone's perception of you. And when that person has the power to fire you, you definitely don't want to come off as offensive to them.

Mistake #3: You're overly negative online
You wouldn't go around the office ranting and complaining all day, so don't do it online, either. HR may see a string of rude or angry comments as a red flag--whether they're work-related or not. "You're demonstrating your temperament and your attitude," says Salpeter. So keep the hate-tweets and humblebrags to a minimum, especially when you're applying for a job.

Mistake #4: You accept your boss' friend request without a second thought
While it's generally not a good idea to seek out your boss on Facebook, it can be tricky if your boss friends you. If you haven't yet found yourself in this position, you can change the settings on your profile to make it completely unsearchable and explain to your coworkers that you're just not a Facebook person. But if a colleague's friend request is already pending, the best you can do is clean up your profile, accept their request, and be hyper-vigilant about what you post in the future. To be on the safe side, consider everything you post online to be public, even if you've set up tons of privacy settings.

Mistake #5: You treat all social-networking sites the same
If you're trying to maintain a strong personal brand, you need to be active on a variety of social media sites--but not all of them have to be associated with your work life. If your tweets and Instagram posts tend to be frivolous, that's OK--just don't list your job or company in your bio, says Haberman. You should, however, focus on beefing up your LinkedIn with professional contacts. You may also want to customize the URL so that it ends with your full name (just go into your profile settings--it's free and easy to do). That way, your LinkedIn will be one of the first things people see when they Google you.
The key: using good judgment when you decide what you want to post and where is the most appropriate place to post it. "What's more important to an employer than someone who knows how to exercise good judgment?" says Salpeter.

3 instant ways to be more popular

People most want to follow users who share information and respond to others, according to
researchers who followed 500 Twitter users over 15 months--good for more than half a million tweets.

How can you transform your Twitter presence and strive for Justin Bieber status on the social media hub? Here are scientifically proven dos and don'ts from lead study researcher C.J. Hutto, a Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech.
Want more advice on how to manage your social status delivered straight to your inbox? Sign up for the free!

3 Ways to Gain Followers
1. Ask Questions
Tweet this: "@TwitterUser Cool photo. Did you have a good time at the auto show?"
Why it'll work: You wouldn't want to have a conversation with someone who only talked about themselves, right? Same thing goes for Twitter--people want to follow people who interact. Make yourself visible (and hopefully more attractive) to the followers of your followers by asking questions, says Hutto. Reply to tweets, retweet ones you like, and favorite a few here and there.

2. Inform (Instead of Me-form)
Tweet this: "Trey Burke is putting up 19.1 points and 6.9 assists per game for Michigan? Magic Johnson-like numbers definitely help your campaign for National POY."
Why it'll work: On Twitter, very weak social ties connect users--but it's the content that matters. Followers won't care if you won your intramural basketball game, but they may care about the NBA or March Madness. According to the study, informational content attracts followers with an effect 30 times greater than talking about yourself. "Think of Twitter as an information network rather than strictly a social network," says Hutto.
(Did you know Social Media can make you smarter? Focus on these.
3. Use Intelligent Language
Tweet this: "I want to see a movie this weekend. Who has an out-of-the-box suggestion?"
Why it'll work: Hutto says people rely on linguistic cues like spelling and vocabulary to compensate for the lack of it in our day-to-day culture. Use correct grammar, spell out "see" instead of writing "c," and punctuate your messages. If your tweets look like a middle schooler's texts, then potential followers will likely skip right over you.
. . . And 3 Ways to Lose Them
1. Whine About Your Crazy Day
Don't tweet this: "WTF. I hate everyone in my office today."
Why it drives people away: Researchers found negative content had an adverse effect on follower count over time, possibly because weakly connected strangers find complaining and whining annoying. Hutto says there are a few exceptions: Using negative sentiments along with humor, controversy, or inspiration (think: a quote or comment on a tragedy) didn't have as negative of an effect on followers in the study. But as a rule of thumb, positivity grows wider networks.

2. Hashtag Tweets to Death
Don't tweet this: "Just ran into the spitting image of Mila Kunis. #gothernumber #winning #hot"
Why it drives people away: Used in moderation, hashtags signal keywords to make you searchable (or funny if you use them the right way). However, multiple hashtags (and multiple words within a single hashtag) make tweets hard to read. If it looks like you're spamming other users, #peoplewillunfollowyou. (While we're on the subject, avoid these .)

3. Tweet Once Every Three Weeks
Don't tweet this: "So, I definitely haven't tweeted yet this year. Whoops."
Why it drives people away: You don't have to tweet like a fiend, but forget you have a Twitter account, and forget about gaining followers. Tweeting anywhere from 8 times an hour to every few days is okay, says Hutto. But users with long periods of silence are less attractive than up-to-date accounts

Paris Air Show crowd greets third Airbus A350 test flight

It was a good day for Airbus publicity as its energy-efficient passenger A380 jet flew over the high-profile air show and the French president hitched a ride in an A400M airlifter.

The Airbus A350 XWB -- short for extra-wide body -- competes with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, another two-aisle passenger jet designed to cut fuel costs for workhorse airline routes. The Dreamliner, though grounded temporarily after battery problems earlier this year, has a multi-year head start.
During the Paris Air Show, though, Airbus parent company EADS got some good news: $21.4 billion in commitments from customers who plan to buy 69 of A350 jets. The new orders came from Singapore Airlines, United Airlines, Air France-KLM, and Sri Lankan, Airbus said.
The French company also got some publicity when French President Francois Hollande arrived at the show on the company's A400M, a hulking four-engine airlifter for military customers. Airbus took in $68.7 billion total in orders for new aircraft, doubtless welcome news in a country afflicted by the European economic malaise.

Part of that was a $8 billion deal to sell 20 of its massive A380 jets, which with two full decks are the largest passenger jets on the market today.
Both the A380 and the 787 Dreamliner were fixtures at the Paris Air Show making daily flights for thousands of customers, suppliers, and members of the public who attended the premier show.

تقنيات ومميزات الجيل HD7000

سوف نلقي نظرة سريعة على مميزات الجيل السابع من بطاقات AMD، ونجد أن AMD أضافت بعض المميزات الجديدة الجاذبة للانتباه بشدة والتي تقدمت بها خطوة على غريمها التقليدي nVidia.
Divider

تقنية ZeroCore Power :

من أفضل التقنيات في هذا الجيل حيث أن البطاقة تضع نفسها في وضع الخمول بشكل تلقائي عند عدم الحاجة لها، وبالتالى يقل استهلاك البطاقة للطاقة وبالتالي هذا يعمل على خفض نسبة الحرارة المنبعثة من البطاقة وبالتالي خفض درجة حرارة جهازك الكلية داخل الصندوق، لاسيما خفض نسبة الضوضاء حيث أن مع تفعيل هذه التقنية فإن مروحة البطاقة لا تعمل.
AMD ZeroCore Power Technology
تنخفض نسبة استهلاك البطاقة عند تفعيل هذه التقنية إلى 2.7W من الطاقة فقط وتعود البطاقة للعمل بكامل طاقتها بشكل تلقائي عند بدأ الاحتياج إلى المعالجة الرسومية مرة أخرى.

تقنية AMD HD3D :

AMD HD3D Technology
هل أنت من هواة استخدام تقنية 3D في الألعاب أو الأفلام ؟!
إذا كانت الإجابة ( نعم ) فما رأيك إذا استطعت استخدام 3D مع تقنية Eyefinity أي إمكانية العرض الثلاثي الأبعاد على أكثر من شاشة في نفس الوقت ؟!
بالتأكيد سوف تصبح تجربة ممتعة للغاية، الآن AMD تدعم تقنية HD3D مع تفعيل تقنية Eyefinity في نفس الوقت، وليس هذا فحسب ولكن طورت AMD منافذ بطاقاتها كي تستطيع العمل على أقصى سرعة نقل بدعم HDMI 1.4a وهذا يعني أنك سوف تستطيع استخدام 3D على أعلى مقاس عرض FullHD وهو 1920*1080p مع تردد 60MHz، وبهذا سوف تستخدم تقنية 3D بسلاسة فائقة.
Divider

تقنية Tessellation :

الجيل الجديد HD7000 من معالجات AMD يستخدم Tessellation Engine Gen 9.0 الذي يعمل على تحسين مستوى التغطية Tessellation بنسبة تصل إلى 4 أضعاف مستوى الجيل الأسبق HD6000 الذي يدعم Tessellation Engine Gen 8.0، وهي بالطبع نسبة كبيرة والتي سوف يكون لها آثار إيجابية على التطبيقات والألعاب وجودة معالجة الرسوميات.
Tessellation
Divider

PCI Express 3.0 :

كان السبق لشركة AMD بدعمها لواجهة الجيل الثالث بإخراج أول بطاقات تدعم سرعة النقل الجديدة مع واجهة PCI Express 3.0 والتي من أهم ما يُميزها هي دعمها لضعف سرعة نقل مقارنة بالجيل الثاني، حيث يدعم PCIe 3.0 سرعة نقل تصل إلى 32GB/s بينما الجيل الثاني PCIe 2.0 كان يدعم 16GB/s فقط، ولكن عند مقارنة الأداء بين الجيل الثالث والثاني الآن لن تجد هناك أي فارق في الأداء أكثر من 1%.
و لكن ربما يرجع هذا إلى أن طبيعة الألعاب والتطبيقات حاليًا لا تحتاج سرعة نقل عالية وربما في المستقبل سوف نرى تطبيقات تحتم عليك استخدام سرعة نقل كبيرة.
Divider

دعم كامل لبيئة Direct3D 11.1

مع إطلاق إصدار Windows 8 منتصف العام السابق والذي يدعم بيئة عرض جديدة تُسمى DirectX 11.1، فقد كانت AMD على أتم الاستعداد لدعم البيئة الجديدة، فقد تم إعداد بطاقات HD7000 كي تدعم بيئة DX11.1 قبل إصدارها الرسمي، وبالطبع هي نقطة تُحسب لصالح AMD حيث أنها دائمًا تسبق الغريم التقليدي nVidia في دعم التقنيات الجديدة.
Divider

تقنية AMD EyeFinity 2.0 :

AMD EyeFinity 2.0
ما هو شعورك عند استخدام أكثر من شاشة أثناء اللعب أو مشاهدتك لفيلم سينمائى؟ أو حتى ممارسة أعمالك المكتبية على سطح مكتب كبير للغاية؟ أليس هذا ممتعًا!!
هذا ما سوف تحصل عليه مع الإصدار الثاني من تقنية EyeFinity التي تسمح لك بالاستخدام المتعدد للشاشات عن طريق بطاقة رسومية واحدة أو أكثر إذا أردت، فالآن يمكنك اللعب على مقياس عرض شاسع للغاية مع عدد شاشات يصل إلى 6 شاشات كما هو موضح في الشكل الآتي ..
AMD EyeFinity 2.0
و ليس هذا فحسب فقد دعمت AMD فى تعريفات البطاقات الرسومية تعريف Catalyst 12.2 إمكانية تقسيم سطح المكتب الخاص بك، فإنك الآن لست مضطرًا إلى بذل مجهود كبير للوصول إلى قائمة Start أقصى اليسار، ولكن يمكن وضع القائمة فى الشاشة الوسطى كما هو موضح في الشكل الآتي ..
AMD EyeFinity 2.0
Divider

تقنية DDMA :

أو ما تعرف بـ Discrete Digital Multi Point Audio والتي عن طريقها يمكنك فصل مصادر الصوت المنبعث من كل شاشة على حدا، بالطبع مع تفعيل تقنية EyeFinity 2.0، وهذه التقنية مفيدة للغاية في محادثات الفيديو الجماعية حيث أنك تستطيع فصل الصوت المنبعث من كل شاشة على حدا.
