Esperanto (help·info) is the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language.Its name derives from Doktoro Esperanto, the pseudonym under which L. L. Zamenhof published the first book detailing Esperanto, the Unua Libro, in 1887. The word esperanto means “one who hopes” in the language itself. Zamenhof’s goal was to create an easy and flexible language that would serve as a universal second language to foster peace and international understanding. Esperanto has had continuous usage by a community estimated at between 100,000 and 2 million speakers for over a century, and approximately one thousand native speakers. However, no country has adopted the language officially. Today, Esperanto is employed in world travel, correspondence, cultural exchange, conventions, literature, language instruction, television and radio broadcasting. At least one major search engine, Google, offers searching of Esperanto-related websites via an Esperanto portal.
On Facebook lot of people are complaining about FB’s policy to allow their advertisers use your private images for FB ads. Facebook was always inventive with their advertising system. They were the first to let people thumb up or down ads and now they want to make their ads be part of your online life.
Here is how Facebook explains the system:
“Facebook occasionally pairs advertisements with relevant social actions from a user’s friends to create Facebook Ads. Facebook Ads make advertisements more interesting and more tailored to you and your friends. These respect all privacy rules. You may opt out of appearing in your friends’ Facebook Ads.”
Nobody can blame them for trying to monetize the site, but the question is has this gone too far? I feel that it may be confusing for my friends to see me on a matrimony Ad or a dating Ad. They may think I’m promoting something on FB and in fact I’m not. Thankfully Facebook gives you an option to opt out from adverts. Here is how:

GeeMail is a client for the popular free e-mail from Google, Gmail. GeeMail supports the good old UI of gmail itself. The software runs under Adobe AIR, which ensures constant updates of your InBox and other assets, such as running on multiple operating systems and offline support.
The program has a similar interface like Gmail, which eliminates the common ‘how do I’ questions. GeeMail has everything in place which is required to access your email from Gmail. You don’t need to configure POP and IMAP settings like traditional email clients. However, it lacks service settings and Gtalk, widely used by Gmail users.
Here’s the direct link (.exe) to download Geemail.
