Hi, friends after a long a I came here to explain you a useful post on how to install windows 10 using iso and usb.
So, let's begin--☻

First of all, download windows 10 media creation tool you can also select whether 32-bit or 64-bit if your system is 32-bit then download 32-bit or download 64-bit and after installing run it.

NOTE: TO CHECK WHETHER YOUR COMPUTER IS 32-BIT OR 64-BIT FOLLOW THIS:
Right click on the computer and go to properties and see under the section SYSTEM > SYSTEM TYPE.

you will see the below window   


At this screen you can select whether to upgrade your current pc or create an installation file for installing on other pc it gives you an iso file.So choose your desired option and click next.


After that select the language and edition, MICROSOFT provides several editions and different editions allows different updates for your pc, I recommend you to select PRO as all the useful updates are given to this edition and finally architecture it is what OS bit you want either 32 or 64 bit, click next.


Here, you can choose to install your os directly on to a usb to boot or you can save an ISO file on system drive choose whatever you want I'd select iso file as we can use it to create many copies. Click next.


And select a path for the iso file to save on you drive. Click save.


Let it do it's work and after 100% done it'll show you a successful message windows and you're done.
And after this you need to download usb tool to create a bootable usb named RUFUS.


Using the drive button on the rufus software select your ISO file path you've recently give on the media creation tool window and click on start and wait for 10-15 minutes and after completing restart your PC and select your USB device on boot menu as default boot device.

That's all folks, continue your installation and it is similar to windows 8.1 installation.
Sorry for posting after longtime, I've been working on a real time site for my shop which is about marriage Album Designing and you can visit it @ DIGITALCREW on your interest.

 Hi, friends today i'm going to explain you how to play a game in your pc without graphics card.

Yes, this sounds crazy isn't it?
After a lot of struggle I've found this trick or software which can be used to play games without graphics card by using a technology called "Software 3D rendering".

First of all you must find the software called "Swiftshader". Usually it is not a software but a simple ".dll" file which will be used for playing or using it for software(graphic) compression.


After downloading the file, extract it to the root folder of any game which cannot be played without graphic card.
using a swiftshader.ini file the software configures the game and makes less graphics as much as it can.

Below are the settings to play a game without lagging.

 Open "swiftshader.ini" and do following changes.


[Capabilities]
PixelShaderVersion=30 <-----change it to the version the game requires 10,14,20 or 30 (10 = 1.0, 20 = 2.0, 30 = 3.0)
VertexShaderVersion=30 <-----change it to the version the game requires 10,14,20 or 30 (10 = 1.0, 20 = 2.0, 30 = 3.0)
TextureMemory=256 <----- Increase it if you have Ram more than 1GB if not then leave it to 256
Identifier=0

[Caches]
VertexRoutineCacheSize=1024 <-----Dont change anything . It wont increase FPS
PixelRoutineCacheSize=1024
SetupRoutineCacheSize=1024
VertexCacheSize=64

[Quality]
TextureSampleQuality=2 <----- Change this to reduce quality of game.I Dont know it increase performance or not
MipmapQuality=1 <----- Turn Off MIPMAP to increase FPS +1
PerspectiveCorrection=1 <---change this to 0
TranscendentalPrecision=2 <---change this to 0
TransparencyAntialiasing=0

[Processor]
ThreadCount=0
EnableSSE3=1
EnableSSSE3=1
EnableSSE4_1=1

[Optimization]
OptimizationPass1=1
OptimizationPass2=0
OptimizationPass3=0
OptimizationPass4=0
OptimizationPass5=0
OptimizationPass6=0
OptimizationPass7=0
OptimizationPass8=0
OptimizationPass9=0
OptimizationPass10=0

[Testing]
DisableServer=0
ForceWindowed=0 <---- Change it to 0 to do some test on swiftshader cause sometimes the game will freeze u can easily End the process using Windows task manager
ComplementaryDepthBuffer=0
PostBlendSRGB=0
ExactColorRounding=0
DisableAlphaMode=0
Disable10BitMode=0
FrameBufferAPI=0
Precache=0 <---- Precache will preload textures which means it will improve Performance
ShadowMapping=3 <---- Change it to 0 to disable shadow mapping in games it will increase FPS

[LastModified]
Time=1291707648
Save it and run your game and you should be wondering how this happened and njoy with this software.

Hacking, that sounds crazy, isn't it? In computer security context, a hacker is someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in a computer system or computer network. Hackers may be motivated by a multitude of reasons, such as profit, protest, or challenge.The subculture that has evolved around hackers is often referred to as the computer underground and is now a known community. While other uses of the word hacker exist that are not related to computer security, such as referring to someone with an advanced understanding of computers and computer networks, they are rarely used in mainstream context.

Classifications
Several subgroups of the computer underground with different attitudes use different terms to demarcate themselves from each other, or try to exclude some specific group with which they do not agree.

Eric S.Raymond(author of THE New Hacker's Dictionary) advocates that members of the computer underground should be called crackers. Yet, those people see themselves as hackers, Instead of a hacker/cracker dichotomy, they give more emphasis to a spectrum of different categories, such as White hat, Grey hat, Black hat and Script Kiddie.

 Am I boring to you. I'm really sorry about that we will go for your cause of presence here/

Hacking is not a simple thing it needs so much dedication, intelligence and an analytic mind.Unfortunately there is no shortcut or magic to become a hacker you need to learn from your colleges or elder who are interested or it is better to consult your programming teacher.

To become a hacker, you first must have a keen interest in computers, how they work, their components and how computers communicate at the lowest level. If you aren't a programmer, you need programing skills.

Eric Raymond suggests that you learn Python first. After becoming comfortable with Python, you should learn C/C++, Java, Perl and LISP. Python, Java and Perl are all C-based languages but Python is an easier first language to grasp. LISP is an ancient language (in computer terms) but its approach will give you a different perspective on programming and will make you a better programmer and hacker.

You also need to obtain an open source operating system such as Linux, FreeBSD or OpenSolaris to use to hone your skills. Using existing code as a guide helps you learn to program.

Other than programming, what other skills do you need as a hacker?

Look back at the list of attributes given earlier: dedication, intelligence, analytic, problem-solving, communications and persistence.
You'll need dedication because becoming a competent hacker doesn't happen quickly. Like any job, you need to start small, grow and set personal goals. You need to have at least average intelligence.Believe it or not, the ability to communicate verbally and in writing is extremely valuable and is an essential tool in your skillset. And, Eric Raymond further suggests that you need at least a functional grasp of English, the language of hacking.

Finally, read all that you can about computer security, hacking and programming.
And, as kRishna tEj would say, "Happy Hacking!"

Google,the leading search engine worldwide,was founded in 1998 by Stanford University graduate students Larry Page and Sergei Brin.



Sergei Brin and Larry Page


While at Stanford in 1996,Page and Brin began developing a search engine they eventually entititled BackRub. This search engine was designed to look at the connecting links between web pages in order to determine a site's authority. In 1998,Page and Brin set up their first data center in Page's dorm.


With the encouragement of fellow Stanford alum David Filo, who started Yahoo a few years earlier, Page and Brin decided to start a company and started looking for investors to back them. Andy Bechtolsheim, one of the founders of Sun Microsystems, invested $100,000 in the company after receiving a demo of their search technology. Eventually the pair raised over $1M.

Google, Inc. was established on September 7, 1998 in a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California. Page and Brin hired their first employee, Craig Silverstein, who was later to become Google's Director of Technology.

In their humble beginnings, Google served over 10,000 queries a day and quickly gained a reputation as a trustworthy source of information. By 1999, it was serving 500,000 queries a day and the company moved from the unassuming four walls of a garage to the now mega Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Google achieved praise and publicity as news spread rapidly through online and offline media as well as their receipt of numerous awards and recommendations. Their audience continued to grow along with their reputation for effectiveness, relevance, speed and reliability.

In 2000, Google replaced Yahoo's own internal search engine as the provider of supplementary search results on Yahoo. Now, with more than 50% share of the total search market, Google provides search results for numerous search engines on the web.

Google has become all-important to both search engines and search engine optimization specialists alike. The other search engines have a tendency to mimic any algorithmic changes made by Google. 

Likewise, search engine optimization specialists continually study the changes as well in order to provide their clients with the best search engine rankings.

 The average user has 130 friends

Are you worried about your popularity? The average number of friends on Facebook is 130, and women tend to have somewhat more than men. Yet despite having hundreds of friends, most people only interact regularly with 4 to 7 people. 

So, what's YOUR number? (Link)

 Over 25% of users have already been dumped via Facebook

Over 25% of users have already been dumped via Facebook
A June 2010 survey of 1,000 Facebook users -- 70% of whom were male -- found that 25% had been "dumped" via Facebook (via their significant other updating his or her relationship status).

Twenty-one percent of those surveyed said they would end a relationship by changing their Facebook relationship statuses to "single." While worrisome, the survey does show the majority of people do not split up via Facebook.

PD: This photo is from a genuine FB status. (Link)

 Facebook doesn't allow breastfeeding photos

Facebook doesn't allow breastfeeding photos
Facebook, the popular social networking website, provoked a squall of maternal wrath when it yanked photos of breastfeeding babies that women had posted on their personal profiles because it deemed them a little too revealing. This, by the way, from a website that allows photos of women in thongs and bikinis and of couples making out; it has even accepted paid advertising for a dating website that featured a topless model. (The topless ad was taken down after angry women noted the hypocrisy.)

In response to the terse notices alerting mothers that they were violating Facebook's decency policy, "lactivists" responded with a virtual nurse-in; 11,000 women posted photos of themselves breastfeeding and/or updated their profiles to read: "Hey, Facebook. Breastfeeding Is Not Obscene!"

The pro-breastfeeding group has attracted over 250,000 members. (Link 1 | Link 2)

 Facebook causes 1 in 5 Divorces

Facebook causes 1 in 5 Divorces
It used to be the tell-tale lipstick on the collar. Then there were the give-away texts that spelled the death knell for many marriages. But now one in five divorces involve the social networking site Facebook, according to a new survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

A staggering 80 per cent of divorce lawyers have also reported a spike in the number of cases that use social media for evidence of cheating. (Link)


 Al Pacino was the first ‘face' on Facebook

Al Pacino was the first ‘face' on Facebook
Remember that sad-looking blue guy on Facebook's homepage who used to stare you down every time you went to log in? They did away with him in 2007, so if you were late to the social networking party, then you probably have absolutely no idea what we're talking about. Anyway according to David Kirkpatrick's The Facebook Effect , it turns out that that guy in the logo, created by Zuckerberg's friend and classmate Andrew McCollum, was none other than a young Al Pacino “covered with a fog of ones and zeros — the elementary components of digital media.” Crazy, right? (Link)


 36% of users check Facebook, Twitter or texts after sex

36% of users check Facebook, Twitter or texts after sex
Lighting a cigarette after sex? That's soooo last season.

An October 2009 study by Retrevo suggested that social networks are becoming an increasingly important part of young people's lives. Among under-35s, 36% admitted to "tweeting, texting and checking Facebook after sex." Forty percent of respondents admitted to doing so while driving, 64% said they do so at work, and 65% use these communication channels while on vacation. (Link)


 Over 350million people suffer from Facebook Addiction Disorder

Over 350million people suffer from Facebook Addiction Disorder
Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD) is a term introduced by US phychologists for those who are addicted to Facebook and their life is really affected by their uncontrolled activities on Facebook. The most common effects are the loss of productivity, the inability to concentrate, the superficiality of friendships as well as isolation in the extreme cases.

It has been said that approximately 350 million people are suffering from the disorder. (Link)


 Facebook users have lower grades than non-users

Facebook users have lower grades than non-users
According to a new study by doctoral candidate Aryn Karpinski of Ohio State University and her co-author Adam Duberstein of Ohio Dominican University, college students who use the 800 million–member social network have significantly lower grade-point averages (GPAs) than those who do not.

The study, made in 2009, surveyed 219 undergraduate and graduate students and found that GPAs of Facebook users typically ranged a full grade point lower than those of nonusers — 3.0 to 3.5 for users versus 3.5 to 4.0 for their non-networking peers. It also found that 79% of Facebook members did not believe there was any link between their GPA and their networking habits. (Link)


 Burger King gave away free burgers to users who unfriended people on Facebook

Burger King gave away free burgers to users who unfriended people on Facebook
In January 2009, an advertising campaign from Burger King titled “WHOPPER Sacrifice” rewarded Facebook users a free “Angry Whopper” for publicly deleting 10 friends, who would then receive a blunt message informing they were deleted for a free hamburger. The campaign, conceived by Burger King agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky and executed by Refresh Partners, used the tag line “Friendship Is Strong, but The Whopper Is Stronger.” 

At press time the application had been downloaded more than 55,000 times and over 250,000 ‘friends' were sacrificed. (Link)


 A man was arrested for openly asking his 13-year-old daughter for sex over Facebook

A man was arrested for openly asking his 13-year-old daughter for sex over Facebook
On perhaps one of the worst crimes perpetrated in Facebook, a Pennsylvania father was arrested for allegedly asking his teen daughter for sex over Facebook. John Forehand, 39, referred to himself as "Bad Daddy" in the online correspondence with his 13 year-old daughter, in which he openly propositioned her and made explicit sexual suggestions. Forehand told his daughter he had been having "inappropriate" dreams about her, and wrote to her, "I'll take very good care of my little girl."

The girl told her mother about the inappropriate Facebook messages, and she then alerted the police. The police captured Forehand by tricking him into coming to what he believed would be a meeting with his daughter. How sick is that? (Link)

eyloggers have been a major problem today as it does not require any prior knowledge of computers to use it. So, it is often used by hackers to steal passwords, credit card numbers and other confidential data from your computer. Below are some methods through which you can protect your computer from key loggers:


1. Use a Good Antivirus

This is the first and the basic step that you need to take in order to protect your computer from key loggers and other online threats. Use a good antivirus such as Kaspersky, Norton or McAfee and update it regularly.

2. Use a Good Anti spyware

If you are a frequent Internet user, then you could be exposed to a number of spywares on a regular basis. Since key logger is basically a spyware, it is better to install a good antispyware program. Make sure that the antivirus and the anti spyware you use do not conflict with each other.

3. Anti logger can be Handy

Anti loggers are the programs that detect the presence of key loggers on a given computer. Over the past few years, I have tested a lot of anti-logging programs and have found Zemana Antilogger as the best one.
Normally, a key logger can easily be detected by a good antivirus program, but hackers may use some methods such as hexing, binding or encrypting to make it harder for the antivirus program to detect it. In this case, Zemana Antilogger comes handy as this program is specially designed to protect your PC against harmful key loggers.
Zemana Antilogger

4. Online Scanning

When ever you receive a suspicious file, you scan it with online scanners such as Multi engine antivirus scanner which scans your file with 24 popular antivirus engines and reports it back to you if the file is recognized as a virus or spyware. This ensures that none of the malicious programs can escape from being detected as there are 24 different antivirus engines involved in the scanning process.

5. Use Sandboxie

Sandboxie is another great program to help you protect your computer against harmful keyloggers and spywares. Sandboxie runs your computer in an isolated space which prevents your program from making permanent changes to other programs in your computer.
When ever you receive a file that looks suspicious, just run the program with Sandboxie so that, you can test it without the risk of making permanent changes to your computer.
Sandboxie
To run a program in Sandboxie, follow the steps as mentioned below:
  1. Open the Sandboxie tool and click on sandbox menu on the top.
  2. Now go to Default sandbox.
  3. Then click on run any program.
  4. Now select the file you wish to run in sandboxie and click open.

6. Key scrambler

Keyscrambler is one of the best program that offers protection against keyloggers. It is a small program which encrypts your keystrokes so that, even if your computer has a keylogger installed on it, only the encrypted keystrokes are captured by the keylogger and not the actual ones.
The free version of Keyscrambler currently supports Firefox, IE and a few other applications. However it’s premium version supports more than 160 applications.
Hope you liked my post! Pass the comments.

What is HACKING?


1.originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.

2. One whoprograms enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming
rather than just theorizing about programming.

3. Aperson capable of appreciating hack value. 

4. A person who is good at programming quickly. 

5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it; as in ‘a
Unix hacker.’ (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them congregate.)

6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker, for example. 
7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing
limitations. 

8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence
‘password hacker,’ ‘network hacker.’ The correct term for this sense is cracker.

Cracker

One who breaks security on a system. Coined ca. 1985 by hackers
in defense against journalistic misuse of hacker (q.v., sense Cool. An
earlier attempt to establish ‘worm’ in this sense around 1981–82
on Usenet was largely a failure.

Use of both these neologisms reflects a strong revulsion against
the theft and vandalism perpetrated by cracking rings. While it is
expected that any real hacker will have done some playful cracking
and knows many of the basic techniques, anyone past larval stage
is expected to have outgrown the desire to do so except for immediate,
benign, practical reasons (for example, if it’s necessary to get
around some security in order to get some work done).
Thus, there is far less overlap between hackerdom and crackerdom
than the mundane reader misled by sensationalistic journalism
might expect. Crackers tend to gather in small, tight-knit,
very secretive groups that have little overlap with the huge, open
poly-culture this lexicon describes; though crackers often like to
describe themselves as hackers, most true hackers consider them a
separate and lower form of life.

It’s clear that the term cracker is absolutely meant to be derogatory. One
shouldn’t take the tone too seriously though, as The Jargon File is done with a
sense of humor, and the above is said with a smile. As we can see from the
above, illegal or perhaps immoral activity is viewed with disdain by the “true
hackers,” whomever they may be. It also makes reference to cracker being a
possible intermediate step to hacker, perhaps something to be overcome.

Script Kiddie


The term script kiddie has come into vogue in recent years. The term refers to
crackers who use scripts and programs written by others to perform their intrusions.
If one is labeled a “script kiddie,” then he or she is assumed to be incapable
of producing his or her own tools and exploits, and lacks proper
understanding of exactly how the tools he or she uses work. As will be apparent
by the end of this chapter, skill and knowledge (and secondarily, ethics) are the
essential ingredients to achieving status in the minds of hackers. By definition,
a script kiddie has no skills, no knowledge, and no ethics.

Phreak

A phreak is a hacker variant, or rather, a specific species of hacker. Phreak is
short for phone phreak (freak spelled with a ph, like phone is). Phreaks are
hackers with an interest in telephones and telephone systems. Naturally, there
has been at times a tremendous amount of overlap between traditional hacker
roles and phreaks.

White Hat/Black Hat/Gray Hat

White Hat Hacker:

White Hat hackers are good guys who does the hacking for defensing. They probably work an organization for providing security.

Black Hat Hacker

Black hat hackers are bad guys(the malicious 
hackers or crackers). They usually steal the other bank information and
steal the money. 
They use their skills for illegal purposes.
They are creators of viruses,malware,spyware.
They will destroy your pc.

Gray Hat Hackers


Grey hats are hackers who may work offensively or defensively, depending on the situation.
This is the dividing line between hacker and cracker. Both are powerful forces on the Internet,
and both will remain permanently. And some individuals qualify for both categories. The
existence of such individuals further clouds the division between these two groups of people.
In addition to these groups, there are self-proclaimed ethical hackers, who are interested in
hacker tools mostly from a curiosity standpoint. They may want to highlight security problems
in a system or educate victims so they secure their systems properly. These hackers are
doing their “victims” a favor. For instance, if a weakness is discovered in a service offered by
an investment bank, the hacker is doing the bank a favor by giving the bank a chance to rectify
the vulnerability.

Top 10 fascinating facts about FACEBOOK



Facebook Image

Amy-Mae Elliott:


Facebook's astronomic rise, staggeringly large user-base, and world's youngest self-made billionaire CEO make it one of the most fascinating companies around today.
While everyone knows the basics about the service's Harvard dorm room origins, we've delved a little deeper to find out more interesting snippets of info.
Here are 10 facts you might not know about Facebook, so read on and let us know your favorites in the comments box below.

1. Al Pacino's Face Was on the Original Facebook Homepage

Prior to a major homepage redesign back in 2007, Facebook's front page used to feature a man's face partly obscured behind a cloud of binary code.
Dubbed the "Facebook guy," it was not known who the mystery man was — until recently. David Kirkpatrick has revealed in his book The Facebook Effect that the image is a manipulated photo of Al Pacino created by a friend and classmate of Mark Zuckerberg.

2. One Early Facebook Function Was a File Sharing Service

You won't find this in the official Facebook timeline, but one of Facebook's early add-ons was a peer-to-peer, or more technically friend-to-friend, file sharing service called Wirehog, developed alongside Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg and three others.
It launched in 2004 and is reported to have been planned as an integral FB feature. In 2005 Facebook was actively promoting the service and Zuckerberg told The Harvard Crimson "I think Wirehog will probably spread in the same way that thefacebook did."
However, likely due to piracy concerns, Wirehog was axed in 2006 before Facebook got really big, although its photo-sharing functionality lives on in spirit.

3. The First "Work Networks" Included Apple and Microsoft

Many of you may know about Facebook's initial staggered rollout, where they started with Ivy League colleges before encompassing other educational institutions. But do you know who Facebook first went corporate with in terms of official work places?
In May 2006, Apple and Microsoft were among the first, as was Intel, EA and Amazon. Others in the first round also included Accenture, Gap, Intuit, Pepsi, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the non-profit organization Teach for America. It wasn't until September 2006 that everyone, regardless of school or company affiliation, could join Facebook — and just over a year later the site hit 50 million active users.

4. Facebook's Hidden Easter Eggs

Facebook is no stranger to Easter eggs. Early on, mysterious movie-related references (apparently Zuckerberg is a big film buff) could be found littering the site.
The references could be found in the footer of the old "Friends Page" in 2007, and one of the first was a quail-themed quote from the film The Wedding Crashers. Later dubbed "quails," other quotes with the avian theme continued to appear in the footer text, including “Only the craftiest of quails survive hunting season,” and “What doesn’t kill a quail only makes it stronger."
In addition, Facebook once boasted a Konami Code (you know — up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, enter) that changed the background of the site to display colorful circles and light flares.
Finally, there's the "Chris Putnam," a Facebook Chat Easter egg that still works today. To test it out, when in chat type in :putnam: and hit enter — ta da!

5. The Meaning of the Term Poke Has Never Been Defined

While Facebook explains how "poking" works on its help center, there's no explanation to be found for the origin of the phrase. The most common definition is a friendly "nudge," but the more flirtatious connotations cannot be ignored.
David Kirkpatrick reveals in The Facebook Effect that Zuckerberg once responded to a question about what a poke meant on the social networking site with: "We thought it would be fun to make a feature that has no specific purpose... So mess around with it, because you're not getting an explanation from us."

6. The Average Facebook User Has 130 Friends

How many Facebook friends do you have? To put your friend count in perspective, the average user has 130. Facebook's official stats page is full of little gems like this, and more staggering stats, such as the fact that people spend over 500 billion minutes per month on Facebook, while the current active official user count now stands at over 500 million.
As far as Facebook the platform goes, over a million websites have integrated with Facebook, and more than 150 million people engage with Facebook on external websites every month.

7. There's an App to See What's on the Facebook Cafe Menu

Like at Google, Facebook staffers get three free meals a day (as well as free drinks and snackage) served up by the "Facebook Culinary Team" at Cafe X or Cafe 6.
If the staff want to know what's on the menu, they don't need to leave their seats. In fact, they don't even need to leave their Facebook profiles — the "Lunchtime" Facebook app offers a weekly view of what's being offered. And it looks real good.

8. Mark Zuckerberg Calls Himself a "Harvard Graduate"

As you can see for yourself over at facebook.com/zuck (the personalized URL Zuckerberg nabbed for himself), Mark Zuckerberg tells a little fib on his profile page. He lists himself as a "Harvard Graduate," which simply isn't true, as he dropped out to concentrate on getting Facebook up and running.
When 60 Minutes reporter Lesley Stahl confronted Zuckerberg with this little inconsistency, he said "That's true. We don't have a setting for dropout."
Er, memo to Zuck — you kind of have the power to make that happen...

9. California is Huge on Facebook

As far as Facebook goes, California (home of Silicon Valley) is the most social state, with an amazing 15,267,160 users in the region, according to Facebakers. This amounts to a 41% penetration rate — pretty astounding that nearly half the state is connected via Facebook.
The next biggest user-base can be found in Texas with 9 million users, but it's nowhere close to California. New York comes in third with 8 million, and rounding off the very bottom of the list is ... Delaware. Of course, actual state population size is a factor here, but you get the point.

10. A Facebook Employee Hoodie Sold for $4,000 on eBay

If Facebook merchandise is collectible now, imagine what it will be worth in years to come. A Facebook employee standard-issue hoodie recently sold on eBay for a whopping $4,050 with nearly 50 bidders battling it out to win the auction.
The fact that Mark Zuckerberg had just been seen sporting the same garment at the D8 Conference and revealed its mysterious insignia to the world certainly helped up the bids, but considering the one that sold had not touched Zuckerberg skin, it's an astonishing amount.

Facebook is the most upcoming social networking site hats off to it and the person who founded it
