Chatroulette creator – 17 years old boy

Aija — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:08:36 +0000

Chatroulette is a website that pairs strangers from around the world together for webcam conversations. It was one of the most popular websites in 2010. Visitors to the website begin an online chat (video, audio and text) with another visitor who is chosen at random.

The Chatroulette website was created by Andrey Ternovskiy, a 17-year-old school dropout from Moscow. Ternovskiy says the concept arose from video chats he used to have with friends on Skype, and that he wrote the first version of Chatroulette in “two days and two nights”.

In early November 2009, shortly after the site launched, it had 500 visitors per day.One month later there were 50,000. Around the beginning of March, Ternovskiy estimated the site to have around 1.5 million users. As of March 2010, Ternovskiy was running the site from his childhood bedroom, assisted by four programmers who were working remotely, and the site was supported through google adsense advertising links to an online dating service. He created the site for “fun” and had no “business goals” for it in the beggining. He’s had to rewrite the code several times in order to allow it to scale. Chatroulette runs on seven servers in Frankfurt, Germany.Website generates about $100,000 monthly. With $1.2 million coming in every year, and only 3 people working on the site, it’s certainly looking like a legitimate long-term business.

And Andrey still hasn’t finished the school.

About Andrey:

He was born on April 22, 1992, less than four months after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and grew up in a small apartment in a typically Moscow high-rise. His mother, Elena, is a talented mathematician who works at Moscow State University. His father, Vladimir, is an associate professor of mathematics at the same university. Andrey started with games, usually of the reality-simulating. By fourth grade, he was writing codes. Like many young Russians with programming skills, Ternovskiy turned to hacking. When he was eleven, he came upon zloy.org (which translates as angry.org), a hacker forum led by a young man named Sergey (a.k.a. Terminator), who trained his followers in cyber warfare. Using the handle Flashboy, Ternovskiy soon mastered the art of the denial-of-service attack, wherein a target system is paralyzed by a mass of incoming communication requests. Next came Web-site and e-mail hacking. By 2007, at the age of fifteen, Ternovskiy had learned about what hackers call “social engineering”–getting what one wants through deceit or manipulation. Posing as a teacher, Ternovskiy got access to some practice tests before they were delivered to his school. ….and then by fun he created Chatroulette….

The US recession

denlove — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 13:08:32 +0000

The USA are no longer “AAA” and that is affecting countries all over the world. An interesting story line from CNN Money-”President Obama and lawmakers should seize the opportunity to start making real changes to reduce the debt, budget expert Maya MacGuineas argues.”

Put a multiyear plan in place: Congress must pass and President Obama must sign a plan this year that generates these trillions in savings. Not next year when more downgrades may have come. And not after the election when politicians will have dug themselves deeper into unworkable promises and a full-blown market crisis could have kicked in.

Your money in a AA-rated world
“We have to fix Social Security once and for all. Let’s start with the obvious: Raise the retirement age, fix cost-of-living adjustments and add a “means testing” component to how benefits are calculated so benefits are better apportioned according to need.
We need multiple layers of health care reforms starting with a stringent budget for spending and a willingness to try different structural reforms, including premium support and opening up traditional Medicare.
Discretionary spending does need to be cut overall, but some major areas of public investments need to be increased. And we should adopt more performance measures so programs that aren’t working can be quickly eliminated.
And, of course, we have to consider revenues. Tax reform is a no-brainer. Getting rid of the hundreds of billions of dollars in regressive tax breaks would allow us to lower rates and generate more revenue to close the deficit.”

According to Forbes, The most-well paid actor in 2011 is Leonardo Dicaprio, whose net worth reached $200 million USD in 2011. It seems that some actors don’t feel the mondial crisis that seems to never go away. But, not again at Hollywood.
Another actor that has a debut at a young age but now is reaching the acme of fame and wealth is Johnny Depp, the cherry’s cake in The Pirates of the Caribbean. The actor earned an estimated sum of $50 million between May 2010 and May 2011. It seems that these are veritable sums, as Forbes declares:”To compile our earnings numbers we talked to agents, lawyers, producers and other industry insiders to come up with an estimate for what each actor earned between May 1, 2010 and May 1, 2011. Earnings consist of pretax gross income. Management, agent and attorney fees are not deducted.”
The list continues with Adam Sandler with $40 million, Will Smith with $36 million and Tom Hanks with $35 million.

Norway attack

denlove — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 07:59:02 +0000

Anders Behring Breivik-The suspect in Norway’s July 22 terror attacks, told the police officers that he planned attacks on other targets, but the investigators have not revealed the other potential targets named by Breivik. CNN news revealed that the new information emerged during a 10-hour interrogation session Friday,Anders being interrogated for the second time since his being arrested.
Breivik is expected to be interviewed many more times in the weeks ahead, with investigators likely to ask more questions rather than just letting him talk, Kraby said.
Breivik is being kept in solitary confinement at Ila Prison, near Oslo, which held prisoners of the Nazis during World War II. His sole contacts are with his lawyer and prison staffers who take food to him.
Breivik has admitted carrying out the bombing in Oslo, in which eight people died, and the shootings on Utoya, his lawyer and a judge have said. He has also pleaded not guilty in court.
The attack on Utoya targeted members of the Labour Party’s youth movement as they attended a summer camp. Read more here on CNN

Saint Angelina Jolie?!

Aija — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 17:33:24 +0000

Do you know what is she? World’s most known person, very beautiful woman, talented and Hollywood’s highest-paid actress, mother of 3 biological and 3 adopted children, in relationship with Brad Pitt. Is she happy? We don’t know that, but people and media love her and speak about her and her family, as just Matt Damon said that if Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt go for a walk, it turns into an international incident. I believe it is very complicated to live such way in attention of media 24 hours a day.

What are the facts and rumors about Angelina Jolie:

Angelina former bodyguard said that Angelina is totally psycho, self-centered and a control freak. She has no patience at all. She doesn’t do things out of the kindness of her heart. And she’s totally psycho. While Brad is laid-back and patient with his kids, Angelina screams and yells a lot, then walks away,
Rumors tells she made suicide attempt in 2010,
In the latest interview Angelina and Brad said they want 14 kids,
She is openly bisexual and has had previous love affairs with women,
Angelina collects knives and has an interest in mortuary science,
Her childhood dream was to become a funeral director,
Angelina doesn’t have an agent or a publicist – all publicist job she does by herself,
Angelina confessed in an interview with London’s Mail on Sunday, that she doesn’t like being hugged. She said, ‘Growing up, I had a thing about people hugging me, even my mother, I’m holding my breath now just talking about it.’
Angelina Jolie is a licensed pilot.

But it all are just sheer nonsense, because Angelina is one of the rare few celebrities who actually goes more further doing her ambassador job. Actually she’s the only one! I can’t say the same for other celebrities who just take a couple of photos holding babies or kids and come back home and sip their margaritas lying under the sun. Angelina does really holy job, and donate billions on money to help poor and starving countries and Angelina covers all of her costs herself. Jolie was named a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador at UNHCR headquarters in Geneva on August 27, 2001. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie established the Jolie-Pitt Foundation in 2006 to assist with humanitarian crises around the world. She has visited displaced people in more than 20 countries including Sierra Leone, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Already in 2010, she has been to Ecuador, Bosnia, and Haiti and by traveling to these countries Angelina shows unique sympathy to people fate stories.

Jolie even agreed to have the first picture of her pregnant Belly in people magazine for $500000 donation to the charity.

I could admit to some of the media journalists that Angelina Jolie is like mother Teresa and she will be admired by her heroic deeds.

Bollywood

Aija — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 13:53:44 +0000

Guess, what were my favorite movies when I was a child? Yes – those were Bollywood movies with typical Hindi love songs and dance. And I still search on YouTube for Hindi songs to listen to, if I want to improve my mood and smile a little about this innocence. What is Bollywood?
Bollywood is the largest film producer in India. The name “Bollywood” is derived from Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood. However, unlike Hollywood, Bollywood does not exist as a physical place. Basically, it is India’s answer to Hollywood.
Bollywood films are usually musical. Movies are three to four hours long and include dozens of songs and dances. The plots are often melodramatic. Many Bollywood movies use the same basic storyline, involving love, action, comedy and lots of drama. The movies are mostly family friendly, with none of the explicit sexual content often seen in Hollywood releases. Bollywood movies are usually very colorful. They’re big on visuals and filled with elaborate costumes.
Bollywood films are being shown in American and British theaters and Indian movies are becoming more and more popular world-wide.

My Bollywood movie top 5:

3 Idiots
Ghajini
Geetha Arts
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
My Name Is Khan

Enjoy, smile and be happy by listening these Hindi songs:

CNN-about space

denlove — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 09:08:07 +0000

A great story from CNN:Before humans ever went into space, there were books about the possibility.

Some were fantasies about life in the cosmos. Some were scientific histories. Eventually, after the Space Age began, some profiled the men and women who brought space exploration to life.

With the shuttle Atlantis concluding America’s 30-year space shuttle program, it seems only fitting that we sample a few books about space exploration. The United States began its program with the seven Mercury astronauts, so here are seven books — six works of nonfiction and one of fiction — about aiming for the stars.

Top 5 space movies

“The Right Stuff” by Tom Wolfe

Wolfe’s history of the early space program, which originated as a four-part series in Rolling Stone, was a 1979 best-seller. The book blends the stories of test pilots such as Chuck Yeager — fearless, free-spirited fliers who blazed the trail for the future Mercury astronauts (all of whom were pilots themselves). “It is Tom Wolfe at his very best, better in fact than he’s been before. It is technically accurate, learned, cheeky, risky, touching, tough, compassionate, nostalgic, worshipful, jingoistic — it is superb,” wrote C.D.B. Bryan in The New York Times. Indeed, it may be Wolfe’s best book.

J Lo and Mark split

denlove — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 07:16:30 +0000

Mark Anthony and Jennifer Lopez have split up. After seven years of marriage, they decided to end it, although they have 2 children, 3-year-old twins Max and Emme. From People we find out that “This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.”

Despite of their declarations, the main issue that caused their break-up is not revealed. Anyway, maybe it was caused by a number of factors which had come altogether during their 7-year-marriage, being married since 2004, in Beverly Hills.

Mr Knock Out has won again

denlove — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 12:22:08 +0000

Yesterday, Lucian Bute fought against Jean-Paul Mendy and won with a memorable K.O.
He is a Romanian-Canadian professional boxer, being the current IBF Super Middleweight champion, since 2007.

Lucian Bute turned pro in 2000.

He is still trained by Stéphan Larouche, who also trained former world champions Éric Lucas and Leonard Doroftei. Lucian Bute successfully defended his IBF Super Middleweight title for the eighth time in a row in Romania on July 9th against the previously unbeaten Jean-Paul Mendy of France. The Frenchman was the IBF’s No 1 contender and the mandatory challenger. This was Bute’s first defense in Romania and his second fight there since 2005. The event took place at Romexpo and Bute won in the fourth round by knock out.
