Listen to Music With Your Friends

Music is one of the most powerful and fun ways to connect. Whether it's at a concert with a bunch of people or on a long car ride with your best buddy, we love listening to music with our friends. But what if you could listen to music with your friends when you're alone, like at work, at home or on the go?

Today, with music services on Facebook, there's a new way to listen with friends. This feature lets you listen along with any of your friends who are currently listening to music. You can also listen together in a group while one of your friends plays DJ.

You can listen to the same song, at the exact same time—so when your favorite vocal part comes in you can experience it together, just like when you're jamming out at a performance or dance club.

How It Works

Look for the music note in the chat sidebar to see which of your friends are listening to music. To listen with a friend, hover over their name, and click the Listen With button. The music will play through the service your friend is using.

When a new song plays, you'll come along for the ride, discovering new music while your friend DJs for you.



You'll also have the option to chat about what you're listening to.  As other people start listening along, they'll join the party in a group chat.



You can control who you're listening along with through your settings. Learn more here.

Rollout Starts Today

Now, you can experience enjoying music together with your friends no matter where you are. This feature will start rolling out over the next few weeks. We hope you enjoy listening with friends!

Apps bring your timeline to life
Once you've added an app, you can begin updating your timeline with your activities as they happen. For example, if you love design, shopping or fashion, you can add the Pinterest or Pose apps to make your favorite items part of your timeline.



If you love to cook, you can add the Foodily app to your timeline and share your latest dishes. If your friends have added the Foodily app, you can discover new recipes with each other, as you'll see their updates in the ticker and their timeline, and possibly News Feed.

If you're a traveler, you can add the Gogobot and TripAdvisor apps to bring a virtual passport to your timeline, and show your friends where you've been and share tips about your favorite spots from around the world.

Soon, there will be apps for all types of interests, as more apps will launch over time. Whether you love snowboarding, gardening, hiking, or knitting, or something else, there will be an app for you.



How to add apps to your timeline
Timeline apps are for the activities you want to share with friends. You choose when to add an app, and you decide who can see it. After you've added an app, you can always remove posts directly from timeline, and you can also edit your settings from your personal Activity Log.


You and your friends can start adding apps to your timeline today to discover new recipes, places to go, events to attend, and more.

How to create disk image without software or free? How to create ghost image of hard disk for free? or How to clone a disk for free?

If yes then you are the person who want to backup complete disk along with OS. So lets see how we can create hard disk image or ghost image or disk clone without using those highly priced ghost creating software.

Requirements:

Ubuntu Live CD/DVD, A hard disk with more capacity than the one you want to clone and some basic knowledge of Linux.

Procedure:

Linux provides disk dumping feature, this feature can be used for creating complete backup of any possible storage media. And we will use this feature of Linux command shell to create ghost images. While writing this tutorial I am assuming that you want to backup a hard disk which already have an OS installed in it.

Boot from Ubuntu Live CD/DVD

Now mount the hard disk you want to take backup on /mnt folder

Now take backup using following commands,

[root@localhost~]dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/image.img

this will create complete image of hard disk partition sda1, next you must take backup of partition table,

[root@localhost~]#dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/partitiontable.img count=0 bs=512

or

[root@localhost~]#dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/partitiontable.img count=0 bs=1024

Now while restoring first restore partition table on new hard disk

[root@localhost~]#dd if=/mnt/partitiontable.img of=/dev/sda count=0 bs=512

or

[root@localhost~]#dd if=/mnt/partitiontable.img of=/dev/sda count=0 bs=1024

Finally restore ghost image,

[root@localhost~]#partprobe /dev/sda

[root@localhost~]#dd if=/mnt/image.img of=/dev/sda1

Now please note that when you'll create ghost image no matter what amount of data you have in disk your ghost disk will be of actual size of source hard disk, that means if your source hard disk is 40GB in size then your ghost hard disk will also be of 40GB. If you think above tutorial was little geeky then even I don't take different view from you, yes its really little geeky but believe me its not that difficult.

Facebook & Google GOing TO Be Banned ?

Yes,Facebook Is going to be banned in India bye the governament.If the news is right it is going to be banned by july.About 25 million facebook users in India Are shocked By hearing this news.!
Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Kapil Sibal explained the decision at a late night press conference yesterday, “This Facebook thing has gone way out of control, much like the ‘Savita Bhabhi’ fiasco two years ago, when we had to ban that site. (Never mind the proxy servers, which still allow some of my colleagues to check it every now and then.) Coming back to Facebook, the reputation of all our esteemed ministers, most notably the Prime Minister and myself, is being torn to shreds with offensive status messages, obscene photoshopped images, and above all, totally fictitious articles on websites like News That Matters Not.

An uncermonious end to a global phenomenon?

“Moreover,” he continued, “unlike other forms of media, we don’t yet have absolute control upon these social networking sites. Such social platforms are the only thing democratic in this country, and we must move in swiftly to fix this anomaly at once.”
When reporters wondered if it did not suppress freedom of speech, Sibal replied with a sly smile and a chuckle, “You have never had that freedom anyway; you have merely been led into believing that you do.”
He also said, “On a personal note, when I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is check out my pictures from the press conferences on the first page of the newspaper. On the other hand, when my children get up, they open Facebook, and check their ‘News Feed’ where more often than not, politicians like myself are made a mockery of. How humiliating is that?”
“Mr Sibal, are you not wary of the public backlash that will most definitely follow this decision?” a female reporter asked.
“You mean sitting on fast unto death? These days, every Tom, Dick and Baba is doing it. As if, it is going to make a difference on our thick-skinned brains. As long as I get my three delicious meals a day, I don’t give a rat’s ass!”
“Sir, you must have some alternate ideas to make up for this sudden removal of a means of communication as vital as Facebook itself?”
“Oh yes, of course. We are going to launch www.upa-book.gov.in. We have already copied the entire Facebook source code line-by-line into our website. The only difference is that we will be able to moderate vulgar comments and pictures about ourselves. As far as the copyright suits are concerned, all Bollywood movies are based on some Hollywood script, yet how many have been sued? None, I guess. Also, in our testing mode, the site has been down ever since we put it up, just like the rest of government sites. But then, who cares, as long as we survive in the office for one more day!” He got up, raised his arms in a triumphant manner and spoke, “Thank you—” (looking around apparently hoping for an applause, shouts disappointed) “—You will thank me for this one day, you insolent fools.”
After the press conference, we decided to check Sibal’s Facebook account. He had just updated his status, “Wow guys, what a kick-ass conference! How many likes?” We firmly believe this decision has something to do with the minister’s not-so-secret love for Orkut, another social networking site that has been extinct from the Indian market for ages now.
P.S.: Check out this link for the actual views Mr. Sibal gave on the topic; this news may not be fictitious in the future after all: http://www.medianama.com/2011/03/223-it-minister-kapil-sibal-on-internet-block-social-media-worries
