Posted by Shane On September - 15 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Well, if your one of those who received  Twitter’s new terms of services in your Email Inbox, don’t be shock for that.

Twitter has altered its  Terms of Services and Privacy policy after getting a series of complaints from the user.

Twitter, a social networking website, that is almost used  by whole of the people leaving in various part of the earth has a famous and powerful people into it.  Right from US President Obama to the Hottest and smartest celebrities followed by the People who browse online use  the Twitter service.

Though how much popular it be, Twitter has indeed  been a long victim for Copyright Infringement and  Hackers heaven.  I still remember how   i was unable to login into twitter for many hours , 3 months ago and later twitter posted that it has been attacked by hackers making them to Shut down the website for maintenance for  1 day.

And now, Twitter has  made its  rules stronger and clearer.

1 .   Twitter Basic Terms  says to user that,

Post the content in  Twitter  on your Own risk , which is to say  the user that is posting a  article in twitter might face copyright violation”

This statement  by Twitter clears the air  on the risk of  posting an Content in twitter.

2. Twitter Password:

Here  twitter strongly says to the user to make a best case of  password with the combination of upper, lower, alpha numeric.

The problem is, a user cant remember such a password. This is the real fact :|

3.Content on the Services

Twitter clearly  informs the user  on the issue that  Twitter will not be able to monitor and control the content that a user post.  Twitter  openly admits that  the content  posted  here can be risked for copyright and the user  should post any content on Twitter on his own interest.

4 :The Services are Available “AS-IS”

Now this is the most  important message from Twitter.  Twitter in their terms of conditions clearly states

Obama’s School Speech Video

Obama's School Speech

Obama's School Speech

I am sure all of you are interested in knowing what US President Barack Obama has said to the students. For those of you who missed it. Here are the highlights. Well, in short he wanted the children to stay in the school. He also students have to be careful of what they are posting in the internet as they can be misused. Moreover, he wanted the students to stay focused on studies. He went far enough to say that students who drop-out of school are actually in a sense betraying their country cause they won’t be able to serve it in an intellectual way.

Overall, the speech is good. I didn’t find anything wrong with it. But lets wait for the critics to make their call. I am sure they are busy right now finding mistakes. Just a lot of advices to the children so that they grow up to become something useful for the country rather than a burden.

Anyways, here is the video from CNN.

UPDATE : COMPLETE 18 Mins Video of the speech available on Youtube.com,
Part 1:

Part 2:

OBAMA JACKSONVILLE

American President Barrack Obama surrounded by the Secret Service during his short meet with supporters

I was Browsing online where i came across this interesting story that explains whats going on around the American President.

The  article reports that American President Barrack Obama receives atleast 30 death threats per day , making him unique on receiving the highest death threats for an American President.

The issue was under the cover by the  Secret Service fearing more threats. But its out on a new book mentioning the threats that Obama receive. The Secret Service is actually a well trained cops to guard the American President.The book was written by the President of Secret Service named Ronald Kessler.

The book reports that the death threats for Obama is  400 percent high than any other American President so far. The Secret Service who was in-charged for the Presidential Ceremony where Barrack Obama took Oath as the American President, reports that there were much threats from the local Somalian group trying to  kill the new president.

The  Book goes on to add  that, fearing for the safety of the incoming new President, the secret service deployment almost 40,000 agents and officers from some 94 police, military and security agencies.

According to The Telegraph, some of the threats issued against Obama, whose Secret Service codename is Renegade, have been publicized.

After Obama was elected president, his two children Malia, 11, codenamed Radiance, and Sasha, eight, codenamed Rosebud, began receiving Secret Service protection.

Obama’s wife Michelle is codenamed Renaissance. The Secret Service also started to protect Vice-President Joe Biden’s children, grandchildren, and mother.

The poor Secret Service agent who were less in number worked very hard for the safety of the President. One of the a Secret Service agent goes on to say

“We have half the number of agents we need, but requests for more agents have fallen on deaf ears at headquarters,”.

Well, all this is done for the safety of the first citizen of the states. And its worth the honor to serve the country and the President of  USA .

Telling Barack Obama that “Hillary Clinton called” might land one in trouble, for this is one of the 21 things that the White House staff is barred from saying to the U.S. President.

According to the Politico, a list of 21 things the staff were not allowed to say to the President was circulated in the White House.

The 21 Things You Cannot Say to the President after a News Conference are:

1. Hey, we hear the Golf Channel is going to carry it next time. Well, actually, only the Golf Channel is going to carry it next time.

2. Don’t worry. We’ll get ‘em next year.

3. Professor Gates called. He can’t find his house keys.

4. You want to take a mulligan on this one?

5. We did try to plant a question about Bo, but nobody would go for it.

6. Saying, “I don’t know all the facts … but the police acted stupidly” is a little like saying, “I don’t know if there are weapons of mass destruction … but let’s invade Iraq anyway.”

7. We’ve decided to call the whole news conference a “teachable moment.”

8. You want a cigarette?

9. Biden called.

10. William Henry “Bill” Gates is the Microsoft guy. Robert Michael Gates is the secretary of defense guy. Henry Louis Gates Jr. is the Harvard professor. They are not related and have never performed in Vegas together. Gibbs will walk this back in the gaggle. 1. Tape it over? But, Mr. President, these press conferences are live.

12. The reason we can’t put the questions on the teleprompter is because we aren’t supposed to know the questions in advance.

13. Those bunched-up clothes in the bed turned out not to be Douglas Elmendorf.

14. That reporter wasn’t from North Carolina; he was from North Korea.

15. Hillary called.

16. You want a blue pill?

17. We checked: After six months, they can’t fire you.

18. If nobody blogs about it, we think you’ll be OK.

19. Now, is somebody willing to rehearse more and play golf less?

20. The only poll that counts is the one on Election Day.

21. Rahm wants to see you in his office immediately

Argentina PresidentFormer Argentine President Nestor Kirchner has announced that he will resign as the head of the party after finishing second in the high profile race with a Millionaire. Some believe that, the rival faction within the party is the root cause of the resignation.

Now this is said to be a major drawback for the ruling Peronist party as they are supposed to see mid polls soon. After the retirement from the Argentine President earlier 2007, his wife Cristina Fernandez  succeeded him as the President of Argentine.

Even the current government under President Cristina Fernandez is facing hard times due to few unpopular economic policies  and the increase effect of global meltdown.Correspondents say Sunday’s mid-term polls were seen as a referendum on the presidential couple who have dominated Argentine politics for the past six years.

President Cristina has brought the october elections earlier  arguing that this may help the country to reunite in this bad times of global recession.
