From its birth in the labs of Tim Berners-Lee back in 1992, to its interaction with the Napster in 1999, and its 2004 induction of Wikipedia: the Internet as we know it, has evolved drastically, been around the world literally, and changed the way humans live permanently.
Nothing can replace it, nothing is like it, and it has no alternative. The internet is like a diamond mine for the people who wish to acquire wealth, a profound lake of information for those who have an insatiable appetite for knowledge, and an eternal form of entertainment for those wish to amuse themselves.
With the passage of time, people from amongst us have emerged with the craziest of ideas to test and enhance the potential of this God’s gift to mankind. And it is due to the efforts of these noble souls, that we have the entire world at the simple tap of our fingers.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee – World Wide Web
Sir Tim Berners-Lee; the father of World Wide Web. On 25 December 1990 he implemented the first successful communication between an HTTP client and server via the Internet with the help of Robert Cailliau and a young student staff at CERN.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee is also the founder of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology which comprises of companies that are willing to create standards and improvements of the Web.
From my point of view, if it wasn’t for him, none of the below mentioned personalities existed.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin – Google Inc.
Two PhDs from Stanford University started work in the garage of a friend’s. And they were defiantly not building steam engines!
They were, however, creating the internet’s most powerful search engine. Sergey Brin and Larry Page are arguably the world’s most successful Internet entrepreneurs and developers in history. This enabled them to earn billions, while assisting everyone from high school students to particle physicists have an easy time searching for information over the internet.
Google was first launched on Stanford’s website (google.stanford.edu) and then finally on Google.com in 1997. It is estimated that GOOGLE is worth about a staggering $25 billion dollars.
David Filo and Jerry Yang – Yahoo! Inc.
Yahoo! too is the creation of two Stanford University’s Electrical Engineer graduates, called Jerry Yang and David Filo. Yang started by listing web pages on the Internet and named it “Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web”. Then, he decided to switch it to Yahoo! and the initial URL was at akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo
In December 1994, that particular website had already received over a million hits. Realizing its potential, David Filo and Jerry Yang got serious and diversified Yahoo! as a web portal.
David Filo’s net worth is $2.9 billion dollars and Jerry Yang’s is $2.3 billion dollars.
Bill Gates – Microsoft
William Henry “Bill” Gates III, is an American business magnate, philanthropist, the world’s third richest person (as of February 8, 2008), and chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
Gates also holds the record of being the Richest Person in the world for 15 consecutive years.
Steven Paul Jobs – Apple Inc.
Steven Paul Jobs is the co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc. and former CEO of Pixar Animation Studios.
In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, created one of the first commercially successful personal computers. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven GUI (Graphical User Interface)
After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets.
Jobs is currently the Walt Disney Company’s largest individual shareholder and a member of its Board of Directors. He is considered a leading figure in both the computer and industries.

He founded Facebook, the online social networking website. Zuckerberg launched The Facebook (FaceMatch) from his Harvard dorm room in 2004 and started promoting it to all Ivy League schools and some Boston institutions.
Soon, he bought over Facebook.com domain name. Facebook is now a household name with people of all ages, groups and interests, interacting with each other. Its business and pleasure at the same time!
Kevin Rose – Digg
You all know Kevin, don’t you? Perhaps one of the most respected internet idealist and TV show host, Kevin Rose has definitely placed a huge impacts among all Digg users.
He became well known as an on-air talent and later as a co-host working on TechTV’s popular show The Screen Savers (which later became Attack of the Show! ) until his departure from the network on May 2005.
He also co-founded Pownce and Revision3 besides his popular Digg.com, social-bookmarking website. He created Digg in 2004 by hiring a freelance programmer who Kevin Rose paid $12 per hour through eLance.
Kevin Rose later bought Digg.com domain name for $1,200 and then went on to buy larger server space. Digg received an ultra boost of capitals when they received $2.8 million of venture capital from Omidyar Network, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen and Greylock Partners.

Jimmy Wales at first started a peer-reviewed, open-content encyclopedia which is Nupedia. He then utilized the ideas of Nupedia with his “wiki” software to form today’s Wikipedia.
His work with Wikipedia, which has become the world’s largest encyclopedia, prompted Time magazine to name him in its 2006 list of the world’s most influential people.
Chad Hurley and Steve Chen – YouTube
Chad Hurley (aged 28) and Steve Chen (aged 27) became the founders of the popular San Bruno, California-based video sharing website YouTube, one of the biggest providers of videos on the Internet.
Chad Hurley used to work for eBay’s PayPal in the designing department where he designed their logo. Together with PayPal colleagues, Jared Karim and Steve Chen, Chad founded YouTube in 2005.

Thomas Anderson – MySpace
Thomas “Tom” Anderson is the President of the social networking website, MySpace. He is one of the people identified as a founder of the site, along with CEO Chris DeWolfe.
Since newly created MySpace accounts include Tom as a default “friend,” he has become known as the face of MySpace. As of November 20, 2008, Tom has over 250 million “friends”, a number which is constantly increasing due to new MySpace accounts being created.
In 2003, working for eUniverse under the preview of Brad Greenspan he and a few other eUniverse employs set up the first pages of MySpace and the site grew from there. It is currently the most popular social networking website in the United States, and is the most popular website for teenagers as well.
Interesting Fact: According to several sources, in 1985 then 14-year-old San Pasqual High School (Escondido, California) student Tom Anderson was a computer hacker operating under the alias “Lord Flathead“.
He was known for leading a team that broke into Chase Manhattan Bank computers, altered records and left a message saying that unless he was given free use of the system he would destroy records. He was never charged.
Linus Torvalds – Linux
Linus Benedict Torvalds is a Finnish software engineer best known for having initiated the development of the Linux kernel. He later became the chief architect of the Linux kernel, and now acts as the project’s coordinator.
Initially Torvalds wanted to call the kernel he developed “Freax” – a combination of “free”, “freak”, and the letter X to indicate that it is a Unix-like system, but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server where the kernel was first hosted for downloading, named Torvalds’ directory linux.
Since Linux has had thousands of contributors, such a percentage represents a significant personal contribution to the overall amount of code. Torvalds remains the ultimate authority on what new code is incorporated into the standard Linux kernel.
Jack Dorsey – Twitter
Jack Dorsey is an American software architect and businessperson best known as the creator of Twitter – a free social networking and micro-blogging service.

I don't do Netbanking, shopping using Credit cards, don't store anything important in my home PC, then why would a cracker hack my PC?
You too, like most of home users, might have the same perception.
Now let me show you how dangerous your "hacked pc" could become, for you and for others, after it has been hacked.
See the picture carefully:
So in nutshell your PC could be used as a "Launching Pad" to further launch attacks. Just imagine if some cracker try to hack into Indian Army Computers through your computer, offcourse your IP Address would be logged there and cops would be knocking your doors!!!
The graphic above shows the different reasons criminals may want access to your system. Author has explained each category in more detail below:
Illicit Web Hosting
Cyber criminals commonly use hacked PCs as a host for a variety of dodgy Web hosting schemes, including:
- Spam Web sites
- Phishing Web sites
- Malware download sites
- "Warez" servers, or hosts for pirated software and movies.
- Child pornography servers
Zombie Grunt Work
Infected PCs also frequently are turned into zombies designed to carry out all sorts of monotonous, repetitive tasks for cyber crooks, such as:
- Relaying junk e-mail
- Participating in so-called denial-of-service attacks designed to extort money from Web sites by pelting them with massive amounts of bogus Web traffic if they refuse to pay protection money;
- Engaging in "click fraud," which uses zombies to gin up fake mouse clicks for networks of phony Web sites that siphon money from advertisers.
- Serving as a proxy through which bad guys route their Web traffic.
- Providing computational power that criminals use to help solve CAPTCHA challenges, the squiggly lines of numbers and letters many free Web mail services require you to solve - designed to tell humans apart from zombies.
E-Mail/Webmail Attacks
An infected PC potentially has great value to spammers and attackers beyond simply acting as a relay for junk e-mail. For example, compromised systems typically are harvested for e-mail addresses that will be sold and used in future phishing and spam attacks.
An attacker doesn't need to compromise an Internet user's computer to wreak havoc with their identity and online life. A compromised Webmail account, for example, can yield a bounty of useful information because many people often will use the same e-mail address and password for multiple services. (Even if the victim uses different passwords at each service, usually those passwords can be reset as long as the attacker has access to the victim's inbox).
Hacked Webmail accounts also frequently are used to scam the victim's friends. Sometimes, crooks will use a hijacked Webmail account to blast out tailored spam to all of the victim's contacts, usually recommending some no-name, bargain basement e-commerce site that is set up merely to steal credit and debit card information.
Another long-running scam involving hacked Webmail accounts goes like this: Scammers blast out a note to all of the victim's contacts, claiming that the victim has become stranded in some foreign country and desperately needs friends and family to wire money.
Account Credentials
Any stored credentials -- particularly user names and passwords for online services - are fair game on hacked PCs. Stolen eBay credentials often are used to abuse the victim's good reputation and used to list non-existent or stolen items for auction. Compromised Paypal records can aid in these bogus auctions as well, or drained of its funds. Credentials for voice-over-IP or Internet-based telephone services like Skype also are a hot item on underground cyber criminal forums, because they can be used to mask the caller's location and aid in a variety of scams.
Credentials that victims use to administer Web sites -- even social networking site Web pages -- can be of huge value to cyber crooks. A number of automated threats will scrape credentials that victims use to transfer files to and from any personal or professional Web sites they may administer. Stolen file transfer protocol (FTP) credentials, for example, give attackers control over the victim's site, which is often then use to host malicious programs or other illicit content that helps further a variety of online criminal schemes.
Finally, credentials that allow access to the network of the victim's employer or company can be of great interest to digital thieves. In many corporate environments, employees cannot log in remotely without having a special, password protected encryption certificate saved on their computer. Some families of malicious software -- including the Sinowal or Torpig Trojan -- will try to steal these certs from infected systems.
Virtual Goods
Virtual goods, those that have seemingly intangible value, are among the most sought-after commodities in the general hacking scene. Entire families of malware exist to harvest license keys for thousands of computer games and steal credentials that gain access to online games in which a player's worth is determined largely by the amount of virtual goods his or her character has amassed. There is a mature, multi-billion dollar market for these accounts, and the goods themselves, at least some of which is stolen from compromised PCs.
Financial Credentials
When casual Internet users think about the value of their PC to cyber crooks, they typically think stolen credit card numbers and online banking passwords. But as we have seen, those credentials are but one potential area of interest for attackers.
This is by no means an exhaustive list.
I hope this information will let you realize how dangerous your "scrap" PC could become if hacked by crackers. Secure your PC's
Megaupload is one big name among file sharing websites. One reason of Megaupload popularity big user base sharing billions of files of various types like video, Movie, Images, Software, Cracks, Pirated software etc. but Megaupload files are not clean nor the procedure of downloading files from Megaupload website..

Here is simple MegaUpload Hack/Trick to bypass County level download slot limit...
Megaupload Hack- Trick to Bypass Country Level Download Slot Limit
(Please note that this hack is only applicable for Firefox users..
Method 1:
This method requires modifying User Agent string of firefox about config
The Mozilla FireFox V3 is undoubtable a great browser , but with some little Hacking tweaks ,u can doublize its performance..
1. Enable pipelining
Browsers are normally very polite, sending a request to a server then waiting for a response before continuing. Pipelining is a more aggressive technique that lets them send multiple requests before any responses are received, often reducing page download times. To enable it, type about:config in the address bar, double-click network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining so their values are set to true, then double-click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set this to 8.
Keep in mind that some servers don’t support pipelining, though, and if you regularly visit a lot of these then the tweak can actually reduce performance. Set network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining to false again if you have any problems.
2. Render quickly
Large, complex web pages can take a while to download. Firefox doesn’t want to keep you waiting, so by default will display what it’s received so far every 0.12 seconds (the “content notify interval”). While this helps the browser feel snappy, frequent redraws increase the total page load time, so a longer content notify interval will improve performance.
Type about:config and press [Enter], then right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) somewhere in the window and select New > Integer. Type content.notify.interval as your preference name, click OK, enter 500000 (that’s five hundred thousand, not fifty thousand) and click OK again.
Right-click again in the window and select New > Boolean. This time create a value called content.notify.ontimer and set it to True to finish the job.
3. Faster loading
If you haven’t moved your mouse or touched the keyboard for 0.75 seconds (the content switch threshold) then Firefox enters a low frequency interrupt mode, which means its interface becomes less responsive but your page loads more quickly. Reducing the content switch threshold can improve performance, then, and it only takes a moment.
Type about:config and press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New > Integer. Type content.switch.threshold, click OK, enter 250000 (a quarter of a second) and click OK to finish.
4. No interruptions
You can take the last step even further by telling Firefox to ignore user interface events altogether until the current page has been downloaded. This is a little drastic as Firefox could remain unresponsive for quite some time, but try this and see how it works for you.
Type about:config, press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New > Boolean. Type content.interrupt.parsing, click OK, set the value to False and click OK.
5. Block Flash
Intrusive Flash animations are everywhere, popping up over the content you actually want to read and slowing down your browsing. Fortunately there’s a very easy solution. Install the Flashblock extension (flashblock.mozdev.org) and it’ll block all Flash applets from loading, so web pages will display much more quickly. And if you discover some Flash content that isn’t entirely useless, just click its placeholder to download and view the applet as normal.
6. Increase the cache size
As you browse the web so Firefox stores site images and scripts in a local memory cache, where they can be speedily retrieved if you revisit the same page. If you have plenty of RAM (2 GB of more), leave Firefox running all the time and regularly return to pages then you can improve performance by increasing this cache size. Type about:config and press [Enter], then right-click anywhere in the window and select New > Integer. Type browser.cache.memory.capacity, click OK, enter 65536 and click OK, then restart your browser to get the new, larger cache.
7. Enable TraceMonkey
TraceMonkey is a new Firefox feature that converts slow Javascript into super-speedy x86 code, and so lets it run some functions anything up to 20 times faster than the current version. It’s still buggy so isn’t available in the regular Firefox download yet, but if you’re willing to risk the odd crash or two then there’s an easy way to try it out.
Install the latest nightly build (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/), launch it, type about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Type JIT in the filter box, then double-click javascript.options.jit.chrome and javascript.options.jit.content to change their values to true, and that’s it – you’re running the fastest Firefox Javascript engine ever.
8. Compress data
If you’ve a slow internet connection then it may feel like you’ll never get Firefox to perform properly, but that’s not necessarily true. Install toonel.net (toonel.net) and this clever Java applet will re-route your web traffic through its own server, compressing it at the same time, so there’s much less to download. And it can even compress JPEGs by allowing you to reduce their quality. This all helps to cut your data transfer, useful if you’re on a limited 1 GB-per-month account, and can at best double your browsing performance.
A bare copy of Firefox is a wonderful thing, but when you start stuffing it with add-ons it gets even better.
So what are the best add-ons for power users? Here’s our top 25:
1. All-in-one Sidebar
All-in-one Sidebar makes Firefox’s Sidebar more useful by displaying pretty much anything you might want: source code, downloads, add-ons, page info, entire web pages…
2. Stealther
Jealous of Safari’s Porn Mode – ahem, Private Browsing? Now you can have it too, with Stealther.
3. Web Developer Toolbar
The name’s a clue: the Web Developer Toolbar adds a toolbar containing useful tools for web developers.
4. Instapaper
Install Instapaper’s bookmarklet and you can store interesting things to read later. You can view pages without ads or other distractions, and it works on phones as well as PCs.
5. FireFTP
FireFTP is an excellent bit of charityware – it’s free, but donations are encouraged. It puts a fully featured FTP program right inside your browser.
6. Greasemonkey
The Swiss Army Knife of the Internet, Greasemonkey enables you to bend sites to your will through the power of JavaScript.
7. Tab Mix Plus
Get complete control over Firefox’s tab handling, from the way tabs look to the way they work, with Tab Mix Plus.
8. User Agent Switcher
Browser sniffers stopping you from seeing sites? Pretend you’re using a rubbish browser by changing the user agent string with User Agent Switcher.
9. IE View
Sometimes you need to view or test a page in IE. IE View is a Windows-only extension that makes it a one-click job.
10. IE Tab
Does much the same as IE View, but opens IE within a Firefox tab. Once again IE Tab is Windows-only.
11. Sage
Firefox’s RSS support is pretty basic. Sage gives you a fully-featured RSS and Atom feed reader that’s a joy to use.
12. HideBad
Pretend you’re busy working with this excellent boss key. Not only does HideBad replace the current tabs with safe ones, but it zaps your browsing history, too.
13. Download Statusbar
Keep track of and control your file downloads without leaving the main browser window with Download Statusbar.
14. DownThemAll
Download every link or linked image from a web page in one fell swoop, filtering out unwanted file types automatically with DownThemAll.
15. FoxyTunes
FoxyTunes lets you control your music player, or take advantage of Yahoo!’s online MP3 player, while you wander around the Web.
16. Gmail Space
So unofficial that Google will probably kill you if it catches you using it, Gmail Space turns Gmail into an online hard disk.
17. StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon is the easy way to discover sites that other people liked.
18. NoScript
Eliminate annoyances and security risks by blocking scripts and other executable content from sites you don’t trust with NoScript.

23. BetterSearch
BetterSearch adds previews to search results so you don’t end up on irrelevant, malicious or obscene websites. Unless that’s what you’re looking for…
24. FlashBlock
Flash is often used for in-page annoyances, so FlashBlock gets rid of all of it unless you specifically click on a bit of Flash content.
25. Adblock Plus
Adblock Plus eliminates invasive ads and makes some sites look very weird as a result.
