Do you ever cruise the Internet and wonder how some of the more popular sites got their start? Can you imagine yourself creating the next MySpace or Facebook? If all of this sounds interesting to you there is a new movie that is a must see, The Social Network is the unofficial biography of how the social networking giant Facebook got started. The Facebook Movie may not be a golden globe winner, but it will definitely shake up commonly held ideas about what it takes to start a business and make it successful.
What is Social Networking?
There are a few people on the planet who are still unsure why these sites are so wildly popular. Facebook and MySpace are giants on the World Wide Web, nearly everyone has one or the other and some people have both. These sites are used to connect with friend and family both near and far as well as making new "friends". Depending on the site you use you will have some latitude in designing your profile page, MySpace allows a great deal of creativity including backgrounds and music, where Facebook is a bit more plain Jane.
What most of these social network sites do have in common is the ability for you to share your life in pictures, comments and messages to a broad number of people all around the globe. That is the draw and appeal today though in the beginning Facebook was merely used among certain colleges, beginning with Harvard.
Today, however Facebook is the way people interact, both good and bad. It is not uncommon to see an all out war on the pages of the site between two or more people. Pictures, comments and messages can become extremely revealing and ugly and it is hard to imagine just how many people are watching the drama from afar silently.
The Social Network - A Facebook Movie
The Social Network is a movie about how all of this got started. The plot and script are based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich and neither have been sanctioned by the people closest to the top at Facebook. This tale of money, genius, betrayal and sex should make for a great guilty pleasure, even if the facts are not 100% verified by the people they are about! It is very unlikely the people portrayed would be absolutely honest about their character flaws or weaknesses anyway.
There is a great cast set for The Social Network including Brenda Song and Justin Timberlake. If you have always wondered what it would take to start The most popular website for you, this rich movie! Of course, most of us will go to the movies just to enjoy the money of betrayal, intimacy, even if what you need to blast it!

The terms "open source" and "Free software" are well known among the computer users. Most of people use these terms interchangeably as many of today's "open source" softwares are available free of cost.
For example, sourceforge.net which is world largest repository of "open source" community software with over 180,000 projects organized under a wide range of different categories. This site having served over a period of about a decade mentions that it offers free "open free source" software. Such mixed use of these terms make them appear one and the same thing at least to the lay man.
"Open source" software term is said by Eric Raymond and its definition is maintained by non-profit corporation named OSI or "open source initiative". The OSI is also considered as the bastion of what is called "open source movement" in comparison to the free software movement these two movements complement each other in certain ways. Sourceforge.net provide standards if any one wants to release software under OSI approved license. These standards are simply a collection of recommended best practices that a software should have to be labeled as open source. any software license to be termed as open source,it must give complete access to source code,no discrimination against the people or industry to used. Any one can use the term open source as it is not trade mark. this means any company can release its software and term or suggest it as open source. It might allow software author to restrict distribution of modified source code under certain conditions.
Due to these conditions, open source is termed as a software development methodology in which free source code is central theme for review and community participation for improvement of the software. And this does not mean that software itself is free.
The freedom to run the program means the freedom for any kind of person or organization to use it on any kind of computer system, for any kind of overall job and purpose, without being required to communicate about it with the developer or any other specific entity. In this freedom, it is the user's purpose that matters, not the developer's purpose; users are free to run the program, and if author distribute it to someone else, then person is free to run it for his purposes, but author is not entitled to impose his purposes.
The freedom to redistribute copies must include binary or executable forms of the program, as well as source code, for both modified and unmodified versions. (Distributing programs in run able form is necessary for conveniently installable free operating systems.) It is OK if there is no way to produce a binary or executable form for a certain program (since some languages don't support that feature), but you must have the freedom to redistribute such forms should you find or develop a way to make them.
Free software stand for respecting user's freedom where open source stands to promote a better software development approach against the property, and open source appeals business decision makers as they would not like to go issues surrounding free software. On the other hand,free software has nothing to do with marketing tactics as it considers property software a social problem.

Rhythm is something that many guitarists don't spend a lot of time thinking about or practicing. This is in direct contradiction to the importance of rhythm. Even so, learning how to solo, how to play every chord under the sun & learning how to play the melodies of the most popular songs continue to be the focus of so many guitarists and guitar publications.
Rhythms are perceived in a number of different ways, but the best way to begin to analyze and understand rhythm is with the most basic, steady heartbeat pulse. This is the most common type of rhythm, steady, monotonous, droning. I play it down and make it sound like something that's not worth learning, but considering the fact that it's the backbone of some of the most memorable music of our time, it's something that we have to pay attention to. Listen to any Stevie Ray Vaughn song or classic rock song, and behind all the fancy notes and solos is a steady and consistent rhythm.
These types of rhythms are grouped together. Each group is called a measure or a bar. If you've ever seen staff notation, the vertical bars at regular intervals along the staff are the marking that delineate the measures. Each one of these measures, or bars, will contain two, three, four and more notes, that together form the rhythm.
At the beginning of the piece of music in staff notation, you'll see a time signature, that tells you how many beats per measure the rhythm Appears. It is one of the other phone number, it will be smooth and you'll know it when I saw the time. Time signature, but, but, some indicators are not broken, is no substitute for the type of note or measure is not to get beat. 4 tells us that the most common type of beat / 4 time, quarter note and four-stroke is measured by a beat that has been signed. Tells us that there are four beats to the measure of lower numberstells us that it's the quarter note that marks one beat.
If you're not familiar what a quarter note is, let me break it down to you. Starting with the whole note, the note value names are whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth and so on. You'll notice that each name represents a division of the previous. The whole is divided into half, the half into quarters and so forth. When thinking about duration, the only real way to explain it in a flexible enough way is to set a base value and subdivide from there. Therefore in 4/4 time, if there are four beats at 120 beats per minute, you would play 30 whole notes in one minute, 60 half notes, 120 quarter notes, 240 eighth notes, and so on. It's just the most practical way to express duration.
The rhythm is created when you begin to think of each measure as it's own unit. You have four beats and then the whole process starts over. Within that measure or bar, the composer is free to create any type of rhythm he wants. Without the delimiter of a measure, however, everything would break down and we would no longer have any kind of structure & therefor no rhythm. This is often times forgotten by self trained musicians & often times is a marker in the abilities and skills of a musician.
People who don't practice rhythm can solo and play the most unique and expressive chord progressions, but their music doesn't seem to go anywhere. Notes just flow into one another with no end in sight. If you're serious about The music can you invest in a metronome, and start reading the music staff. In this way, you understand, you can begin to practice good pace. Good luck and enjoy!

The Buddha introduced a number of things that are unique to all religions and spirituality. Two of these are The Four Noble Truths and Interdependent Origination. The Buddha claimed that one could not attain enlightenment without understanding both of these intuitively, or with the heart, and not only the mind.
Interdependent means dependent upon something else for its existence; something comes first; a cause, which causes an effect. Cause and effect . . . action and consequences. This is the basis of Interdependent Origination which when understood releases human beings from their constant stress by explaining the cause of that stress, and how to eliminate its cause.
Nothing exists that is not dependent upon Interdependent Origination - from the mighty galaxies in the universe to the bean sprouts in our gardens. Even we are dependent upon Interdependent Origination, and understanding its steps is what can release us from its prison of endless rebirths.
The bean sprout is dependent upon many causal factors, such as sunlight, water, and basic consciousness. Likewise, rebirth of a human being is dependent upon twelve causal factors, which are:
1. Ignorance,
2. Volition,
3. Consciousness,
4. Name and form,
5. Six sense spheres,
6. Contact,
7. Feeling,
8. Craving,
9. Clinging,
10. Becoming,
11. Birth,
12. Old age and death.
If we can break the chain of causality at any point along this 12-point chain, we can become free of rebirth.
1. Ignorance is the basis of all of our stress. Ignorance is why we crave sense pleasure, we crave existing, or sometimes not existing. Ignorance causes us to cling to pleasant experiences, ideas, and most importantly, to the idea of a permanent self, or an "I" thought. Therefore, our ignorance, craving and clinging are the cause of our actions.
2. Volition is our habits formed from our particular points of view that develop in our stream of consciousness, or our life-continuum consciousness. These habits or mental formations are our kamma, and are formed by our repeated actions, which become our personality that we take into our next lifetime, and which consists of our past lifetime, augmented by our actions in this present lifetime.
3. Consciousness is the result of kamma or volition above. Because of our past habits and mental formations, we form in our minds the idea of a self, or an "I" thought, and this is what seeks consciousness again after death.
4. Name and form is the body and mind that is born into the world.
5. The six sense spheres result from the birth of the body; eyes, ears, nose, tongue, bodily sensations, and mind.
6. Contact results when one of these sense spheres contacts an object; we see, hear, smell, taste, feel, or think something.
7. Feeling. When we make contact with a sense object, we feel either attachment toward it, aversion, or neutrality.
8. Craving. If we feel attachment, we will crave that object.
9. Clinging. If we attain the object, then we will cling to it.
10. Becoming. The one who clings and craves, and the one who attaches and averts is nothing but an illusionary self. Clinging and craving is the form of creation that becomes a self, and in turn the illusion of this self becomes another being after rebirth.
11. Birth is the formations because of becoming and clinging to the "I" thought.
12. Old age and death is the result of birth, and the cycle continues.
The first way we can understand the 12 links is over the course of our past life, this present life, and the future life. Ignorance and volition belong to our past life. They represent the conditions that propelled us into this lifetime.
Consciousness, name and form, the six sense spheres, contact, feeling, craving, clinging, and becoming belong to this life. Birth, old age and death belong to a future life.
The second way that we can understand the 12 links by dividing them into three cyclical components; afflictions, volition, and becoming.
Afflictions consist of ignorance, craving and clinging. Actions are made up of volition and becoming, and sufferings are made up of consciousness, name and form, the six sense spheres, contact, feeling, birth, and old age and death.
If we tie all of this together, we see that ignorance, craving and clinging result in actions, both in previous lives and this lifetime, which result in habit patterns, volition, or kamma very similar to our old lifetime.
Then, these volitions create a self, or "I" thought, which the idea of which carries forward after death seeking another form in which to carry on the illusion in the form of rebirth consciousness. From this arises consciousness, name and form, the six sense spheres, contact between the sense speres and objects, then arises feelings because of this contact, craving and clinging results, and then follows becoming, or the idea of self that attaches or averts. This then is the cause of rebirth, and subsequent old age, disease and death.
Breaking this cycle of birth and death is the goal of a Buddhist. If you were looking for an address in a strange town and couldn't find it, going around and around, eventually you would ask for help, or access a map. Then you could follow the instructions and find the address. Similarly, we go around and around in lifetime after lifetime with no road map. Interdependent Origination is the map. All we have to do is break the 12-point chain at some point.
Interdependent Origination falls between personality belief and nihilism. An independent, eternal self is seen through as an illusion, but the kammic residue that causes rebirth negates nihilism. Therefore, something continues, but not the ego. Clinging to either scenario only continues the 12 point cycle.
This all opens the door to enlightenment.
