How to Make a Mac OS Wallpaper
October 13th, 2007
This tutorial i found on Dr. Photoshop while surfing on the net and think good enough to share with you to create a Mac OS Wallpaper yourself. Follow these steps to create a Mac OS wallpaper or download Video.
Procedure to create a Mac OS wallpaper:
1. Create a new document that is double the size fo your intended project. In this examle it is 5000 pixels x 5000 pixels. Use #0A5FAF as a fill for the backgound.
2. Create a new layer.
3. Expand the window making a large margin outside the document canvas.
4. Using the pen tool, make a curve that starts outside the document and ends outside of it as well.
5. Right click or Ctrl Click on the pen path and fill the path with white or #FFFFFF.
6. Apply a stroke effect of about 1 to 5 px depending on the size of the document.
7. Adjuts the fill to about 10-30%
8. Repeat Steps 2-7 a couple of times.
9. Duplicate each layer for safety measure. Just hide the original so no changes will take effect on it. Also, so you won’t have to re-do every layer in case you make a mistake.
10. Apply a mask to the newly rasterized layer (you can find the button in the bottom of the layer palette). Take the gradient tool and set it to black to white and blending mode darken. On the layer mask, apply gradients by clicking and dragging. By setting the blending mode to darken, you can apply the gradient multiple times and it will not undo the region masked region created on the gradient you dragged out just before. This would not be true if it were normal. You want to leave the center and the middle of the stroke mostly intact and hide the ends and sections not close the the line.

Beware Credit Card fraudsters around
August 5th, 2007
The device is used mostly at retail outlets: Bars, Restaurants, shopping complexes and petrol stations. It has been reported that sometimes the employees are involved in the racket of cloning the cards and duping the original owner.
The person who stole the information of the card using the skimmer may use the information on his own or sell the information to a bigger racket. This bigger racket may even use this information to make cards and use in the foreign country. A single skimmer can copy up to 12000 cards information.
How to safe guard yourself from Credit Card related thefts?
Credit card, debit card and related fraud are a multi million dollar industry throughout the world. It’s been reported that fraudsters in UK itself netted 504.80m pounds in 2006 through this crime.
2. Always checks the receipts and bank statements after each transaction made by you. If possible verify by calling up the credit card help line for the recent transaction made.
3. Subscribe to the Alert facility, which comes for free. This will enable you to know the transaction and its amount made from your credit card whenever your card is swiped for any transaction.
4. Interestingly, a credit card receipt is enough to make a replica of the card you own. In US, customers are advised to shred the receipts after verification.
5. Keep changing the PIN number of the card. And never write it on any paper as anyone can access the papers and take advantage. Also don’t use date of birth, anniversary as these can be easily guessed.
6. Don’t use same PIN for all the cards you own.
That’s not enough, in case of ATM’s :
2. If you see a strange object/gadget near the card slot, don’t insert your card. Keep an eye out for the miniature camera (these records your PIN).
