Why is it not clean?

March 30th, 2012 No comments

rain windowA young couple moved into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they were having breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the washed clothes outside.

“That laundry is not very clean”, she said, “She doesn’t know how to wash properly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap”.

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: “Look! She has learned how to wash properly. I wonder who taught her this.” Her husband replied back: “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!”

MORAL: What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look. Before we give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves, if we are ready to see the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge.

Facebook photos now available in high resolution and full screen

March 23rd, 2012 No comments

This is definitely a great news to all users and photographers who share photos often in Facebook.

Facebook photos are now available in better resolution and full screen mode.

I have been having concerns with the recent changes made to Facebook Photos few months before, as it was not showing high resolution photos.

Yesterday Facebook rolled out a new update to Facebook photo viewer.

Now the photo viewer will automatically display photos in the highest resolution possible. On a large display, this can be up to 4 times bigger than before.

How to get the full screen mode in Facebook Photos?

If you’re using the latest version of Firefox or Chrome, click the arrows at the top-right corner of a photo to expand to full screen.

Isn’t a cool tip?

This new feature will have considerable impact on the load time. However, it is definitely a better trade-off as it gives high resolution photos.

Thanks to Facebook team!
