Illusion
Say aloud the ink color of each word. How quickly can you do it? Did you slow down?

This one is pretty strange. Just look at the words below. Doesn't make any sense, does it? Now sit back and try to read the text. The text will explain itself.

When you don't see the womans reflection in the mirror, you'll read hate. But when you see her reflection, you'll see her true self.

When looking at the following illusion, you'll probably read the word Life. But when you look closer, you'll see the characters are pretty messed up.
__________________________________________________ ________________
he following illusion looks like a couple of blocks don't doing anything. Can you see the words within these blocks? Try closing your eyes just a little bit, looking through your eyelashes.

Read the text in the triangle below out lout.
Did you read I love Paris in the springtime? If so, you're wrong. Look again and check what is really spelled.

Count the "F's" that are in the following text.
Quote:
| FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS. |
How many "F's" did you find?
Wrong. There are 6 F's in the text above. Read and try again.
How is this possible? Your brain isn't capable of processing the word OF. Everyone that finds the six F's at once is a genius. Three is normal, four is very rare.

Women 'as likely as men to enjoy casual sex'
A Deakin University researcher has said that women are as likely as men to enjoy casual sexual arrangements, but for different reasons.
Kylie McCardle, who has been looking for 400 'friends with benefits' to take part in a survey, said the women who took part in an initial study said these arrangements gave them sexual confidence.
"The men were more likely to say they enjoyed the intimacy of the friendship," the Age quoted McCardle as saying.
The initial study was based on in-depth interviews with 15 couples, or 30 'friends with benefits'.
"A lot of study of casual sex has focused on the negative impact, especially for women. While 'friends with benefits' have been part of popular culture for a while now, it's only just started to be researched," she said.
The study identified two kinds of relationships -- 'sex buddies' who had little contact outside the bedroom, and those who were friends before and after the sexual relationship.
While many of the respondents were in their 20s, McCardle also interviewed several Generation X divorcees who preferred sex with a friend to emotional involvement.
A 2010 survey of customers on the RSVP website found that 36 per cent of women and 30 per cent of men had had friends with benefits.

Android App Uses Facebook Profile Pictures For Caller ID
The free Android application WhoAreYou uses information including Facebook photos, names, locations, and business logos to immediately let Android smartphone users know who is calling, even if the caller is not listed in their phone contacts.
The app from YouMail taps a database of more than 200 million U.S. phone numbers for the information, with many of those numbers tied to social profiles, including Facebook.
WhoAreYou also offers users a “ditch” feature, which allows them to send calls from selected numbers directly to voice mail.
YouMail Visual Voicemail Plus users can even play “This number is out of service” messages for selected callers, helping users to remove themselves from telemarketers’ lists.
Users can also tap WhoAreYou to search for information on any phone number.

7 More Facebook Timeline Fixes We’d Like To See
I wonder whether the grace period effectively extends the testing of this advanced profile, since Facebook can respond to feedback from the less-technologically inclined types who have just begun to tinker with the timeline over the past week. Even techie types continue to find things that might resemble bugs as much as features.
So with that in mind, here are some suggestions for Facebook to polish the timeline, serving as a sequel to a September post about how the social network can improve this advanced profile.
1. Clarify in the pulldown menu the difference between hiding and deleting items — if the later is permanent, then the label needs to read “permanently delete.” The former could say “hide from others.”
2. Don’t publish stories to the news feed about adjustments to timelines that haven’t yet been published. Only announce edits of profiles already visible.
3. The red notifications showing up just above the button labeled “activity log” need to be more consistent, and mouse-over text might be necessary to explain what kinds of things have notifications appearing where.
4. Allow the tagging of people who aren’t on Facebook yet when adding life events to the timeline. For instance, I ran into a dead-end when attempting to input the birth of a niece below the age of 13 within the family section of my own profile. The site wouldn’t create a new record without a name linking to someone who already has a profile.
5. Set a minimum service requirement for all third-party open graph applications to appear on timeline: They must be consistently editable. (Message to GoodReads: I desperately want my timeline to feature what I’ve read when, so please stop teasing me with the promise of this yet-to-function capability!) While we’re on the topic of third-party applications, let’s bring in the proverbial 300-pound gorilla…
6. Facebook ought to comply with anything Apple asks for so that iTunes can become visible in timeline. And, there’s another sizeable simian…
7. The social network ought to make peace with Google so that we could see YouTube videos show up in the timeline.
Readers, what improvements would you like to see based on your own explorations of the timeline?
