Google Earth easter egg

Google not only a search engine although it started that way, has provided a lot of cool stuff. One of the earliest known application is Google Earth. Latest version is version 5.

But I believe most of you already knew about this interestin' application, unless there's a place you're curious to see from space, it's just to big to browse around, it seems like a huge work to bring us this application, and still they have the time to have fun with it.

They've included the planet Mars for you to view as well, so why would you visit Mars anyway, there's nothing there to see, other than the ice cap on the north pole and the famous human face like formation on the ground. But I wanted to introduce you to someone there, yes...a Martian livin there!

So here's how, first of course you need Google Earth. Then on top there's a planetary button, click and choose Mars.


Once there, you can see a few color dots on Mars, some places named by scientist and also you can find famous landscapes. In the search bar marked in the red box; search for Meliza, yes a female Martian.


Now you see MELIZA, the female (I think) Martian, appropriately placed near the famous landmark call Cydonia (the face on Mars)


And my chat with her, hahaha


Here's my other conversation with Meliza:

Meliza:Greetings, Earthling! Tell me about yourself.

Earthling:hi Martian

Meliza:Are you sure? Maybe hi earthling

Earthling:but you are not an Earthling

Meliza:What makes you think I am not an earthling ?

Earthling:because you are not on Earth

Meliza:My friend Marvin has been meaning to use his Eludium Pu-36 on the Earth. He's always annoyed with how Earth obstructs his view of Venus.

Earthling:go ahead

Adobe Reader 9.1 fix critical vulnerability

For those of you who still uses Adobe Reader to view all your PDF format files, just so you'll know, there's a new version out now; version 9.1. I recommend you update your Reader or if you have the full Adobe Acrobat version; update that too, this effects both the free Adobe Reader and full Adobe Acrobat versions, what do I mean by effect?

There seems to be a vulnerability found on those Adobe products below version 9.1 i assume; which allow hackers to exploit, I guess we heard this all the time, but this bug has already been around for 2 months without any fix, so hackers might already been exploitin' it, which in turn classify this update as a 0-day patch; I believe that means, there's no time to waste, update it NOW! hmm


I've personally stop using Adobe Reader for a long time, ever since I found Foxit Reader, another free PDF reader which I found much snappier and smaller compare to the original Adobe Reader, for a high end computer maybe that's not a problem but for the moderate and below, I recommend Foxit Reader.

I've been using it for years and found no serious problems with it, if all you do it to open PDF files, you should use it; and maybe do a little gettin' use to if you're with Adobe for a long time; overall it's just similar, for me what else I need to know other than zoom-in, zoom-out, scroll up and down, next page, previous page :) So why the need for the bigger resources hogging Adobe Reader when you can get somethin' smaller and simple, but that's just me, try it, you might like it.

Flash player critical vulnerabilities

Flash player is a very famous and commonly use player in the internet today, i've seen it been a very unimportant use years back after YouTube started to serve videos in flash, everyone took this up and incorporated into their site and blogs to display videos and music, just like here; i've use mostly flash videos, long time ago it use to be Quicktime players and WMP players, with the customizable skins and player feel, it's just a recommended this to do these days, of course it doesn't support all file formats, depending on what file formats they are, which player has to be use, but why use others when Flash is recommended :)

It's probably due to it's security that people start to like it but then bad news happened yesterday where a few vulnerabilities were found on Flash player version 10.0.12.36 and before, it's critical base on the company's statement, so peeps, please do update to the latest version 10.0.22.87.
