Michael Jackson's success was beyond translation

To contact us Click HERE
Michael Jackson’s brand of pop knew no borders and needed no translation, linking listeners around the world through the accessible corridors of rhythm, beat and dance. And as reaction to his sudden death began to pour in Friday, its extent underscored how far his influence had spread.

From Sydney to Hong Kong, China to Los Angeles, fans, officials and fellow entertainers spoke of their shock and sadness. His music echoed from cafes and car speakers, and everyone from national leaders on down seemed to weigh in.

President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela called the star’s death “lamentable news,” though he criticized the media for giving it so much attention. The former president of South Korea Kim Dae-jung, who had met Mr. Jackson, said: “We lost a hero of the world.”

In Paris, fans held a ceremony in his honor in front of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame Friday night and planned a memorial moonwalk at the Eiffel Tower for Sunday.

Huge crowds gathered in the shadow of Notre-Dame, linking hands and chanting Mr. Jackson’s name, cheering and sometimes breaking into song. Some held flags adorned with images of Mr. Jackson, and others held up signs.

Everything I didn't tell you / ola osa den sou eipa - Melina Aslanidou

It’s better to go away before I see you going
Before I see you avoiding me without pity
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping

To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...

I have paid for my words without meaning
Caresses and bad names. Which word will kill?
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping

To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...



Πιο καλά να φ�γω π�ιν σε δω να φε�γεις
να με αποφε�γεις πάλι αλ�πητα
λίγο π�ιν το τέλος θέλω να θυμάσαι
κάποια στη σιωπή που σε κοιτο�σε να κοιμάσαι
Î�α σου πω πως σ΄Î±Î³Î±Ï€Î¬Ï‰ θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ λίγο
να σου πω πως θα πεθάνω θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ αστείο
να σου πω πως δε με νοιάζει θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ ψέμα
δε λέω τίποτα μα νιώθω...
Τα άσκοπά μου λόγια τα΄Ï‡Ï‰ πια πληÏ�ώσει
χάδια και β�ισιές ποια λέξη θα σκοτώσει
λίγο π�ιν το τέλος θέλω να θυμάσαι
κάποια στη σιωπή που σε κοιτο�σε να κοιμάσαι
Î�α σου πω πως σ΄Î±Î³Î±Ï€Î¬Ï‰ θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ λίγο
να σου πω πως θα πεθάνω θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ αστείο
να σου πω πως δε με νοιάζει θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ ψέμα
δε λέω τίποτα μα νιώθω...

Introducing HTML Mail v2.0

To contact us Click HERE

A new version of the popular HTML Mail utility is now available at ctrlq.org/html-mail. →

You may use the tool to create and send rich-text emails to anyone with a click. It offers a WYSIWYG editor for writing emails visually but if you are comfortable with HTML, simply switch to the HTML mode and code messages in HTML and CSS directly.

What’s new then?

One, the email program now uses the HTML Boilerplate template and thus your messages should render alike across all popular email clients including Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Outlook.

Everything is wrapped inside a background table to prevent your email message body from stretching outside the available width of the email client. The boilerplate stylesheet also includes fixes to make your messages more readable on a mobile phone.

The HTML Mail program now requires you to sign-in using your Facebook or Google Account before send an email. This was necessary to prevent people from abusing the program and also, the email address provided by these services will appear as the FROM: address in the header of your outgoing messages.

The tool can also be used for designing HTML signatures for your email program. Social icons, like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, can be added to the signature with a click.

How to Fake your Location in Google Chrome

To contact us Click HERE

Sometimes websites may request access to your location so that they can serve more relevant information. For instance, if you are looking for a gas station, a maps website may use your current geographic location to display stations that are near your place. →

Google Chrome will only share your location if you click Allow.

How Browsers Determine your Location

Earlier, websites would use the IP address to determine your approximate location but with the HTML5 Geolocation API, web browsers can more accurately detect your location using data from GPS, Wi-Fi networks, cell towers, Bluetooth and the computer’s IP address. If you agree to share your location, the browser will send these details to Google Location Services for estimating your location which is then shared with the requesting website.

To give you an example, open the Where am I app in your browser, allow it to use your location information and the app should be able to display your latitude and longitude coordinates (it is more accurate on mobile browsers as those devices have built-in GPS).

Fake your Geolocation Coordinates

When you happen to visit a location-aware website, the browser will always ask for a confirmation before sharing your location. If you aren’t keen to share your geographic coordinates, you can always deny that request or, if you are using Google Chrome, you can even send a fake location to the website.

Here’s how. Press F12 (or Ctrl + Shift + I) in Google Chrome to open the Developer Tools. Click the Settings icon in the lower right corner and switch to the Overrides tab (see the next screenshot). Now you can specify the exact latitude and longitude coordinates* that you want to share with that website.

[*] You can use the Postal Address finder to know the latitude and location of a place.

Make sure that the “Override Geolocation” setting is checked and then refresh the page to send that fake location. And this is obviously a useful feature for web developers who would like to test their geolocation-enabled apps from the same location.
