Just a Little Bit. . .


My Title Inspiration
Today I felt like giving you all some background information on why I titled my blog Just a Little Bit. Well to be honest with you, music is major to me and at moments it is truly my best friend. It one of the only things in the world that knows exactly what to do or say to make me feel better. If music was a person I would marry it!
I decided to name my blog after two of my favorite songs that exist in this unfamiliar world we live in. I am a hopeless romantic that is is denial. So these two songs describe me perfectly, how I would react to love and anything dealing with it.

Here are the songs. . . ENJOY. !

The orignal version: Little Bit - Lykke li

The remix: Little Bit - Lykke Li Ft Drake
[I actually heard this version first]

FBI wiretapping Facebook

FBI pressuring Google, Facebook to allow ‘back doors’ for wiretapping

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/17/fbi-pressuring-google-facebook-wiretapping/

The Obama administration, last year, planned to create a new law -- an update to the 1994 Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act.   A FBI Director, Robert Mueller, traveled to Silicon Valley to convince major Internet players to build "back doors" into their software that will allow law enforcement to wiretap data on their networks. The update includes all new communication technologies; such as Facebook, Blackberries, and etc.
People that are for the update believe that just the ability to wiretap a phone is not enough anymore. As new technology abilities grow the use of the phone use decreases. People are more into technologies like Skype/Oovoo, Facebook, and other social network sites. They believe in order to stay current with what's happening now, they must update laws.
But Privacy Advocates believe this new proposal update can give hackers an easier way to find access to people information and use it for their personal gain, and even criminal use. The privacy advocates main concern is the abuse the proposal can lead too.

Tell me what do you think, do believe that the government should have this new ability to help find criminals or does this new proposal actually give a lending hand to the criminals?

FBI uses Facebook to find criminals

FBI using Facebook in fight against crime

-Daniel Nasaw


Do you really know the person you are adding? People has to ask themselves that for now on because now FBI agents are using social networks, including Facebook, to help find criminals. The FBI creates a fake profile, which is against the terms & conditions of Facebook, and use that profile to add suspects and search their profile for evidence of crimes.
What did you find interesting?
I found it interesting that how FBI is using something current to help find criminals and how some people are dumb enough to actually admit to crimes online. I also found it interesting how the FBI are breaking the terms & conditions of Facebook.

Why is it controversial?
This is controversial because in the article is mention that how the FBI could be using Facebook can be consider illegal action since they are breaking Terms & Conditions. But others believe agents should go undercover on the Internet just as much as they go undercover in the real world.

What questions do you have about the subject?
Is it okay for the FBI or any other government's agency to break the rules for their better good?
Does this action goes against the Bill of Rights?
Will help put more criminals behind bars?
How much will this affect our future?

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree or disagree?

Upload blocker. ! Really ??


I am so upset Facebook as an Upload blocker, which prevents you from uploading any photos for 7 days. Facebook said because I tagged people at a high rate, it created awareness to them. So now I can't even upload my Homecoming pictures. NOT COOL!

I love the song && I believe this video did a great job of reflecting the song. :)

Pretty Hot and Tempting.


From the first sentence, the first word, the first nervily in-drawn breath, this compulsively watchable picture announces itself as the unmistakable work of Aaron Sorkin. His whip-smart, mile-a-minute dialogue made The West Wing deeply addictive on TV, and after uncertain works such as Charlie Wilson's War and the strange, small-screen drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip – in which Sorkin's distinctive, faintly martyred seriousness was bafflingly applied to the backstage shenanigans of a fictional television comedy – this writer is triumphantly back on form. He's found an almost perfect subject: the creation of the networking website Facebook, and the backstabbing legal row among the various nerds, geeks, brainiacs and maniacs about who gets the credit and the cash.

Part boardroom drama, part conspiracy thriller, the story is adapted from Ben Mezrich's non-fiction The Accidental Billionaires. There appears, however, to be nothing accidental about it. The film version perfectly displays Sorkin's gift for creating instantly believable sympathetic-yet-irritating characters, and the chief of these is Facebook's driving force, Mark Zuckerberg, played with exemplary intuition by Jesse Eisenberg. He is a borderline sociopath, never smiling, never raising his voice, never conceding an argument, driven to create his masterpiece through the unforgettable pain of being dumped in the movie's opening scene. What perfect casting Eisenberg is. (I couldn't help remembering, incidentally, his character's disparagement of Facebook in the movie Zombieland: jeering at idiots with status updates like: "Limbering up for the weekend.") Sorkin gives everyone great lines. It's pretty much a non-stop fusillade of put-downs, insights and zingers. I wonder if the real-life Zuckerberg has ever physically said as many words as this in his entire life.

David Fincher's direction creates just the right intensity and claustrophobia for a story that takes place largely in a stupefyingly male environment at Harvard University in 2003, shown in flashback from various acrimonious legal proceedings. Here, computer-science student Zuckerberg has the same sense of entitlement and self-congratulation as everyone else, but combined with social resentment about being barred from snobby fraternities and clubs. When his girlfriend Erica (Rooney Mara) breaks up with him, the director shows how the emotionally wounded Zuckerberg embarks on a retaliatory campaign not far from the sinister world of Fincher's serial-killer films Se7en and Zodiac. He blogs vengefully about Erica and, in an evil-genius frenzy, creates Facemash, a spiteful and misogynistic site that invites the guys to rate campus girls against each other. (Slightly leniently, the movie explains it away a little by emphasising that Zuckerberg has had a couple of beers.) It is from this beginning that the smilier, friendlier Facebook emerges. But we have been cleverly shown the site's nastier, more paranoid origins: a clue to its unspoken world of friend-number envy, cyber-stalking and anxiety about having no friends at all.

Zuckerberg gets investment from fellow geek Eduardo Saverin, played by Andrew Garfield, of whose marginally superior social success he is jealous and whom he later betrays by cutting him out of the action in favour of web entrepreneur Sean Parker, smoothly played by Justin Timberlake. Wealthy alpha-male twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (both played by Armie Hammer) plan to launch their own site, called The Harvard Connection, and try to recruit Mark as their tame techie-nerd; initially dazzled by their cachet, Zuckerberg plays them along, fatally delaying their launch while secretly getting his own up and running. Shrewdly, Sorkin and Fincher show how the Winklevosses are afraid to sue, because that's not the action of an effortlessly superior Harvard man.

Probably conceived when Facebook was at the top of the heap, the movie now arrives in cinemas at a time when Twitter has overtaken it in zeitgeisty importance: a lesson in how fast-moving internet trends can be. It would be great to see a movie about an ageing Australian-American media mogul trying to stay with-it and hip by tragically investing in MySpace – what tremendous scenes of rage-filled incomprehension there could be as the great man rants in front of downward-trending graphs. Or perhaps a Made in Dagenham-type British comedy about that once whiter-than-white-hot phenomenon Friends Reunited, run by a blameless couple in a spare room of their Barnet home: a dark destroyer of marriages, a reopener of school-day wounds, far more toxic than Facebook could ever be.
The success of The Social Network lies in capturing the fever of Facebook's startup, while subversively implying that it created money and ephemeral buzz, but not a whole lot else; there is very little about the interconnectivity and creativity that its evangelisers often claim. With its fanatical rivalry, envy and preeningly clever half-wits butting heads, the film reminded me a little of the BBC's excellent TV play Life Story from 1987, the story of Francis Crick and James Watson and their ill-tempered race to discover the structure of DNA before anyone else. (Sam Mendes and Pippa Harris are reportedly developing a remake.) Yet that was a story with something substantial at its close. This has … well, what? At the end, all is loneliness. This is an exhilaratingly hyperactive, hyperventilating portrait of an age when Web 2.0 became sexier and more important than politics, art, books – everything. Sorkin and Fincher combine the excitement with a dark, insistent kind of pessimism. Smart work.

my AWESOME wordle! =)

Oh man, Just wrap it up!

It's called a CONDOM!! Duh
I believe this picture demonstrates perfectly how powerful the disease AIDS is to a person body. This picture illustrates that AIDS can infect and affect any and everyone, it does NOT matter how rich, healthy, powerful, intelligent or even how cautious you are; anyone can get affected. Just wrap it up!!! [if you are sexually active]. This disease does not discrimate, "Aids makes us Equal". This ad is created for anyone sexually active and for anyone thinking about becoming sexually active. The creator of this ad is probably a Non-Profit Organization created to spread the word of AIDS. Remember that. . .
EVEN WONDER WOMAN CAN GET IT!
