The essence
of Imagination:
"What we can easily see is only a small percentage of what is possible.
Imagination is having the vision to see what is just below the surface; to picture that which is essential, but invisible to the eye."
But how? And how to prevent this from happening to you?
Today I was checking the recent tweets from the people I follow after many days of inactivity.
I do not follow anyone that talks about politics, as this is the most boring and stressing topic on the Internet. However, today I learned about a new “wave of unprecedented hacking” that several twitter users in Venezuela were experiencing.
Rumor has it that a group of pro-government hackers had finally gotten a hold of the login information for at least 6 people from the government-opposition community.
The stolen information was apparently related to their emails and twitter accounts.
Obviously, these so-called “hackers” would try to make a big deal out of it as it is normal on the minds of those who claim such glory over something so low that is unfortunately so easy to do.
It would be hard for me to know exactly or with a 100% certainty of how those accounts are being hacked unless I know case by case about the circumstances of each of the account owners; but I can think of a few ways that this can be accomplished easily and I will offer some advise on what to do in order to prevent this from happening to you or at least to make it very hard for these so-called hackers.

Today, Adobe released the Public Preview version of Adobe Edge. A software that will allow designers to add animations that are similar to those from Flash into their website by incorporating HTML5 + Javascript + CSS3 together.
I couldn’t resist my curiosity and right away decided to download a copy of the preview version to try it out. I can tell right away that the user interface looks very easy to use if you are already familiar with Flash.
I immediately began to test it on a website I was making and although I don’t think I will end up using it for this particular website, I’m pretty sure I will be one of the first ones to buy this software once Adobe releases a complete version.
