Fastest way of moving around any applications/games quite unachievable unless there is a combination of keyboard and mouse. In Photoshop, to move around quicker that your fellow colleagues or friends, how about starting with mastering the Tools; the most important element in Photoshop, from my point of view.

 Quoting current and former government officials

That the aim of the extensive hacker attacks on Google in late 2009 was to spy on US counterintelligence information. According to the newspaper, the hackers gained access to a database which contained information about Google Gmail accounts that had surveillance orders on them.

Apparently, the thousands of orders included classified ones from a US federal court that approves surveillance on foreign targets such as spies, diplomats and suspected terrorists. The report quotes one official as saying that the attackers could have used this information to warn Chinese agents who had attracted the US authorities' attention, enabling them to take steps to destroy information and get people out of the country. According to the official, the Chinese could also have sought to deceive US intelligence officials by conveying false or misleading information.

When Google disclosed the discovered attacks in early 2010, the company said that the attack mainly targeted the email accounts of Chinese human rights activists. There was no information about a breach of a database that contained court orders. The Washington Post says that, even now, it remains unclear how much information the hackers actually obtained. Reportedly, a high-ranking Microsoft executive said only weeks ago that attackers had, at around the same time, also searched the company's servers for information on accounts that had a surveillance order on them.

Both Google and the FBI reportedly declined to comment on the newspaper article. In 2010, China denied any involvement in the hacker attacks. Instead, the country said that China itself had been the victim of the most extensive hacker attacks.

  Here's a new call of duty game Call Of Duty : Ghosts

Ghosts is set to release on November 5 for Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox 360 as well as with the eighth generation of consoles, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

  Call of Duty is making another setting change for its leap into the next generation. The series has evolved from a World War II shooter into a modern warfare shooter before Black Ops II finally closed out the console generation and a near-future sci-fi shooter.

Xbox One Halo Live Action Series  

If you don’t see the point of keeping data you have stored across assorted Google services separate then you’re in luck: The company agrees with you. So now your storage will be shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+.

Google on Monday announced a change to how it offers free cloud storage to its users: 15GB will now be shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+. This change will start rolling out over the next couple of weeks.
Previously, Google offered 10GB for Gmail plus another 5GB for Drive and Google+ Photos. Now the company has decided that it makes more sense to unify the free storage across its three services.
As part of the change, Google is tweaking its Drive storage page to show a pie chart that breaks down your storage use across the trio. Here’s how it looks:
As before, you can still upgrade your storage space. Plans range from $4.99 per month for 100GB to $799.99 per month for 16TB.
What is most interesting for Gmail users here is that the 25GB upgrade is no longer the limit. Any additional storage you purchase will also apply to Google’s email service.

Google Apps

The Google Apps story is only slightly different: Google is offering its business customers 30GB of unified storage across Drive and Gmail. Storage will also be shared with photos customers upload to Google+ larger than 2048px, and just as before, files created in Docs, Sheets and Slides don’t count against this storage quota.
Here’s the updated Google Drive storage page for enterprise customers:
Google Apps customers are also no longer limited to 25GB for their inboxes. Once again, additional purchased storage can be shared and used by Gmail.
This unification will help Google market how much storage it offers by default, as well as push its storage plans to existing users. It’s not so much a smart move, as a necessary and obvious one.

Over the years, you’ve continued to surprise and delight us. And the past year was no exception. Who would have guessed that a tux-rocking K-pop star would shatter records left and right or that Sesame Street would go global with 1 billion views? That’s one of our favorite things about our global audience: you’re as unpredictable as you are creative and irreverent.

The Chromebook Pixel comes with a 12.85-inch high resolution IPS display (2560×1700), equal to 239 PPI, at a rather unorthodox 3:2 aspect ratio.
Under the hood is an Intel Core i5 Ivy Bridge processor with Panter Point PCH, along with 4GB of DDR3 RAM. There’s only 32GB of storage via an SSD, but that’s bolstered by 1TB of additional cloud storage through Google Drive.

Jealous yet? We are.
