Facebook introduces high-resolution image sharing, improves viewer & upload interface
While Facebook has been utilized by users as a place for image
sharing for quite a while, its maximum size (largest edge) of images was
limited to 720 pixels (up until March 2010, it was 604 pixels),
stopping users from uploading high-resolution images. Now however, the
social networking giant has decided to do away with that limitation, and
making the maximum size 2048 pixels on the largest edge, which
translates to an 8x increase.
Other changes include a more stability and performance for image uploading, as well as improved tagging for a single person across multiple images.
This effectively puts Facebook up there with Flickr and Picasa
as an image sharing portal, and, gives users the ability to store and
share high-res images online in one place, instead of linking them
externally from Facebook. Facebook has also enhanced its image viewing
interface to make it more like Flickr’s lightbox galleries, allowing for
easier and more intuitive viewing.
We're increasing the size of the photos stored from 720 pixels to 2048 pixels on the largest edge, for an 8 times increase overall. I'm really excited to be launching this feature. To see the quality of these pictures, you can view National Geographic's "Top-Rated Your Shot Photos (September)" album or Sports Illustrated's "Football Across America" album. Download high-resolution photos by clicking the "Download" link.If you haven’t yet noticed these changes on your account, you will need to wait for a bit, for while the rollout starts today, it will take a while to be globally implemented – meaning a few weeks.

[must read] The Beautiful Rose inside us...................!!! [we have to search for it n also help others.......!!!]
A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it
blossomed, he examined it.
He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.
So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.
We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.
Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.

This is one of the characteristic of
love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person
into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help
others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose"
within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom
many times over.

Sand & Stone.....!!! *** Good Story ***
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After the friend recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND, AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives......!!!
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and
snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
The butterfly emerged easily but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch it,
expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body,
Neither happened!
In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around.
It was never able to fly.
What the man in his kindness
and haste did not understand:
The restricting cocoon and the struggle
required by the butterfly to get through the opening
was a way of forcing the fluid from the body
into the wings so that it would be ready
for flight once that was achieved.
Sometimes struggles are exactly
what we need in our lives.
Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us.
We will not be as strong as we could have been
and we would never fly.

Make a Difference........!!! *** If each one think this way we can change the world someday....***
A man was walking
down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along he began to
see another man in the distance.
As he grew nearer
he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something
up, and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling
things out into the ocean.
As our friend
approached even closer he noticed that the man was picking up starfish
that had washed up onto the beach, and one at a time, he was throwing
them back into the ocean.
The first man was
puzzled. He approached the man and said, "Good Evening Friend, I was
wondering what are you doing?" And he replied, "I'm throwing these
starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all
these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them
back into the sea, they will die from the lack of oxygen."
"I understand,"
my friend replied "but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach
and you couldn't possibly get to all of them. There are simply too many
and don't you realize that this is happening on hundreds of beaches up
and down this coast ... can't you see that that you can't possibly make
a difference?
The local native
smiled, bent down, picked up yet another starfish ... and as he threw it
back out into the sea, he replied, "It made a difference to that one!"
You may feel like
you cannot make a difference in the world today, but you CAN make a
difference in one life at a time.

Give some time to your dear ones........*** Good Story ***
An elderly man in Mumbai calls his son in New York and says,
'I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 35 years of marriage.... and that much misery is enough!'
'Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams.
'We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the old man says.
'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!'
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this.'
She calls Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, 'You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??' and she hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.. 'Okay', he says, 'It's all set. They're both coming for our anniversary and paying their own airfare!!'
MORAL:
No man / woman is busy in this world all 365 days.
The sky is not going to fall down if you take few days LEAVE and meet your dear ones.
OFFICE WORK IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE and MONEY MAKING IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE.
Twelve Good Thoughts........!!! ### Must Read ###
1. Maybe God wants us
to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right
one so that when we finally meet the right person,
we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
2. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out that you still care for that person.

3. When the door of
happiness closes, another opens but often times we
look so long at the closed door that we don't see
the one which has been opened for us.
4. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
5. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

6.
There are things you'd love to hear that you would
never hear from the person who you would like to
hear from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it
from the one who says it from their heart.
7. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, in the end it fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
8. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
9. A careless word may kindle strife, a cruel word may wreck a life, a timely word may level stress, a loving word may heal and bless.
10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
11. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
12. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches..

Love and Time........!!! ***MUST READ*** Good One.....
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it
was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed
boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
