Top Fact - World Longest Tennis Match

►

Longest Professional Tennis Match

Yes you got it.............

Wimbledon 2010 holds the Title of the worlds longest tennis match for both in terms of TIME and Number Of SETS.

Accurate time keeping of tennis matches did not begin until 1968.

On May 24 at the 2004 French Open in Roland Garros Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clément started playing tennis but eventually darkness fell and they had to stop, but like good tennis players, they came back the next day and played some more.

After 6 hours and 35 minutes of actual playing time, spanning two days, the world's longest tennis match was over and Fabrice Santoro was the winner (6-4 6-3 6-7 3-6 16-14).

But the record was broken on June 22 to June 23, 2010 in the first round of wimbledon 2010. The match was played between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut.

John Isner Nicolas Mahut

                        V/S

The game lasted 183 games and involved 11 hours and 5 minutes of time. Some interesting facts of this game are:

Longest set by time and games: The fifth set of the match required 138 games played over 8 hours and 11 minutes.
Longest play in a single day: The first 118 games of the fifth set, played on 23 June 2010, lasted 7 hours and 6 minutes. This time is longer than the entire tennis history.
Most games in a single day: 118, on the 23 June.

THE RESULT
John Isner (left) defeated Nicolas Mahut (right) 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(7), 7-6(3), 70-68.

Top Trick - Save Facebook Chat

How To Save Your Complete Facebook Chat History

The Internet: Transforming Society and Shaping the Future Through Chat - Dave Barry


By Scraptv

When you’re trying to remember the exact course of a conversation, to retrieve a lost web address, or just want to reminiscence tales of a past long gone, your chat logs can help you out big time.

Taking note of conversations may sound unnecessary, or even plain paranoid, but often proves to be extremely useful. Recalling those conversations word by word is one heck of a superpower.

Below is an alternative method to permanently save your Facebook chat history, using browser extensions.

The technique does not allow you to delve into long lost conversations, prior to the usage of these extensions. Why not? Simple; because Facebook does not keep those around.

By Cusoccer

Start out by downloading and installing Facebook Chat History Manager as a Firefox add-on or Google Chrome extension. There’s still a little work ahead before they’re running smoothly, though.

On Google Chrome, go to Window -> Extensions -> [FbCHM] Options, as can be seen in the screenshot above. You’re now in the extension’s Options pane. On the left, select ‘Get Facebook ID‘.

On Firefox, go to Tools -> Facebook Chat History Manager -> Get Facebook ID.
After logging into your account and authorizing the Facebook application, you’ll be able to view your Facebook ID. This is a number unique to your Facebook account. Copy it to your clipboard; you’ll need it in the next step.

On Google Chrome, go to Window -> Extensions -> [FbCHM] Options -> Create Account.

On Firefox, go to Tools -> Facebook Chat History Manager -> Create Account.

Use the previously obtained Facebook ID to create your account. The passwords here do not have to match your Facebook log-in password.

It’s solely to keep your chat logs safe. Because you’ll have to log in later on, and again whenever you want to browse your chat history, an easy to remember login name can speed this up. This is optional though.

After creating your account, the set-up process is complete. The browser extensions will quietly keep track of your Facebook chat history, and allow to access it later on.

The Google Chrome extension will place an icon on your address bar, as can be seen in the screenshot above. Clicking it will prompt you for your username and password, before sending you off to your chat logs.

On Firefox, simply go to Tools -> Facebook Chat History Manager ->View History. Here too, you’ll need to enter your account details.

Enjoyyy.......

Top Tip - Improve Mobile Photography Skills

Capture The Moments With Mobile

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still
- Dorothea Lange

We are living in a time where ‘convergence’ is everywhere. Gone are the days when a camera was a camera, a MP3 player was an MP3 player, a phone was a phone….

Here are few points to work to improve your mobile photoshoots:

1. Light the Subject Well

Try that the subject to be captured should have ample focus of light. The better the light the brighter and cleared is the image.

If you’re turning on lights in a room to add extra light to your shot be aware that artificial light impacts the colour cast in your shots and you might want to experiment with white balance to fix it.

2. Minimize the Distance from the Subject

The distance has a direct effect on the size and clarity of the image captured.fill up your view finder with your subject to save having to zoom in on the subject in editing it later (which decreases quality even more). But in some mobile phones, getting too close to the subject creates distortion. So adjust the distance accordingly.

3. Keep Still

The more steady your camera phone the more clearer is the image.

4. Avoid Using the Digital Zoom

As tempting as it might be to zoom in on your subject when taking your picture if the zoom is a ‘digital zoom’ it will decrease the quality of your shot to use it.

Plus you can always edit your shot later using photo editing software on your computer. Some camera phones are beginning to hit the market with ‘optical zooms’ – these are fine to use as they don’t enlarge your subject by enlarging pixels.

5. Experiment with White Balance

White balance allows you to modify colour balance in your images based on shooting conditions. Read your manual to find out how it works on your phone.

6. Shots and Experiment

Camera phones are particularly good for experimenting with new angles and perspectives – shoot from down low, up high, close up etc and you’ll end up with interesting and fun shots. Plus you get better and better every time you shoot.

7. Follow Composition Rules to Break them

Learn some basic rules for composing a photograph. Like the Rule of Thirds (place your subject squarely in the middle of your frame).

Remember that the beauty of a camera phone is its ability to break all conventions – some of the best shots around break all the rules. So shoot whatever you feel like.

And Yes Don't Forget To Keep Your Lens Clean And Try To Use High Resolution Camera Phone.

What To Look For Before Buying A Portable Media Player?????

Cheer's To Music Cheer's To Life

Portable Media Player's are the first choice for the music lover's. It's Like carrying the music you like into you pocket. But selecting you very own pocket theater is not as easy as it look's . However these are few point's you can look for before deciding which media player you want.

* Know your requirement and know your budget. This is really important, unless you don't know how much damage you can do to your pocket and what are your expectations, you cannot reach to a result.

* Look for the connectivity. What are the different modes via which the player can communicate with other devices. The computer connectivity is really important.

* High end system has bluetooth and wireless connectivity also. Depends on your share of wallet.

* Storage capacity and it's extension. How much can you store when no additional storage media is added and till what extend the capacity can be increased additionally.The flash memory based media players typically start from 1GB, the hard disk based players like the iPod Classic can offer 20 GB storage space or even higher.

* If you are an audiophile and always want to listen to the music you should buy a player that has a higher storage capacity and has expandable storage in the form of SD cards and some others do not.

* The audio and video file format supported by the device. It should not only support mp3 format but other formats like wav,avi etc.

* Not all media players sound great with the headset provided by the manufacturer. Therefore, a player that has a standard 3.5mm jack should be chosen as it will be compatible with a wide range of good quality headsets.

* The screen size and resolution of the media players. It should be visible in the sunlight also.

* The software of the media should be user friendly. It should allow the smooth controlling of the device.

The above are only few points which may help you decide your music device. But a lot depends upon your choice and taste too.
