Top 20 The best movies 2013 Part 2
20. Killer Joe
Director: William Friedkin
Actors: Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Gina Gershon, Juno Temple, Thomas Haden Church
The power of a thunderous movie ending should never be underestimated. Even if everything that precedes a film’s closing scenes underwhelms, the last shot can send audiences out on a high that’ll make them forgive all of the inadequacies. Acclaimed director William Friedkin’s (The French Connection, The Exorcist) extremely pulpy and grimy, though unfairly NC-17-rated, Killer Joe has one of the craziest, entertainingly off-the-rails endings in recent years, but what makes it such a complete success is that the film as a whole is a victory.
In Pulitzer Prize-winning screenwriter Tracy Letts’ adaptation of his own 1993 play, Matthew McConaughey serves a smoldering, combustible turn as a seedy Dallas cop, nicknamed Killer Joe, whose side hustle involves killing folks for cash. His target of the moment is the good-for-nothing mother of a young, in-debt deadbeat (Emile Hirsch) from a dysfunctional trailer park family. Unable to pay Joe, Hirsch begrudgingly gives his cute space cadet of a little sister (Juno Temple) up as a “retainer.”
19. Ruby Sparks
Directors: Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris
Actors: Paul Dano, Zoe Kazan, Annette Bening, Chris Messina, Antonio Banderas, Steve Coogan, Elliot Gould
Take our advice: Rent a copy of Ruby Sparks, schedule a home video night with your preferred lady friend, and be prepared to receive cool points a-plenty from your fairer-sexed partner. Perhaps even some post-movie loving as a reward for displaying such quality taste in cinema. But we digress.
Whats truly special about the second feature film from sharp husband-and-wife directing team Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (Little Miss Sunshine) is the wonderful script from star Zoe Kazan. Blending magical-realism with touching romance, Kazans screenplay brilliantly develops a romance from the seemingly impossible.
The actress real-life boyfriend, the perennially underrated Paul Dano, gives a strong leading man performance as a struggling novelist who inexplicably wills a fictional dream girl (Kazan) into existence and falls in love with her. Ruby Sparks works on several levels concurrently: Its a genuinely sweet comedy, a heart-tugging love story, and a Twilight Zone-esque look at human connection in a heightened reality. Most critics would call Silver Linings Playbook the years best romantic comedy—around these parts, the title goes to Ruby Sparks.
18. Beasts of the Southern Wild
Director: Benh Zeitlin
Actors: Quvenzhane Wallis, Dwight Henry, Levy Esterly, Gina Montana, Lowell Landes
It’s rare that a movie given such a high amount of critical hyperbole and instant prestige lives up to the hype. After winning both the top grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in January and the Camera d’Or (designated for best first-time director) at the Cannes Film Festival in May, debut feature helmer Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild rode one of the loudest, most enthusiastic waves of pre-release build-up seen in quite some time before its late June release.
Thankfully, all of the positive word was absolutely justified. Anchored by an astounding performance from 6-year-old rookie Quvenzhane Wallis, Beasts is an emotional powerhouse. The film follows a tough little girl, Hushpuppy, who, living in a fictional New Orleans marshland community called “The Bathtub,” must contend with both a dying father (the equally dynamite Dwight Henry), mythical monsters known as “aurochs,” and rising waters that are washing her homeland away.
Shot in the heart of New Orleans with newbie actors and a tight-knit production crew, Zeitlin’s picture is as authentic as it is captivating. When Hushpuppy’s defiant narration isn’t either making you laugh or stand at attention, the film’s rich characters and brave narrative turns will leave you clutching for fresh Kleenex. It’s a towering achievement from a director and young rugrat/actress whose names we’ll be hearing a lot of come awards season.
17. The Spectacular Now
Director: James Ponsoldt
Actors: Miles Teller, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Shailene Woodley, Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Jason Leigh
Shailene Woodley gives a performance of such fragility and power in The Spectacular Now that the rest of the movie almost feels dull by comparison. Director James Ponsoldt (Smashed) adapted Tim Tharp’s coming-of-age novel with heartfelt sincerity, and the result has wooed enthusiastic Sundance crowds. Miles Teller stars as Sutter, a high school senior with a great enthusiasm for human connection and partying, but little enthusiasm for classwork or future planning. Think Ferris Bueller with a concealed depression and an alcohol abuse problem. Woodley dominates every frame she’s in with sweet hesitations and a nervous smile. She provides a mesmerizing portrayal of young love. If only The Spectacular Now had been about its strongest character, it could have really been something.—Jeremy Mathews
16. Crystal Fairy
Director: Sebastián Silva
Actors: Michael Cera, Gaby Hoffman, Juan Andrés Silva, José Miguel Silva, Augustin Silva
If Michael Cera was typecast as the poster boy for Type B romantic heroes—awkward but sweet, soft but humble, geeky but loveable—his turn in Sebastián Silva’s Crystal Fairy marks his arrival as an unlikeable Type A anti-hero. In one of the actor’s two Chile-based collaborations with Silva at Sundance (the other is Magic Magic), Jaime (Cera) is an ugly American, obsessed with mind-altering drugs and oblivious to his own self-centeredness. Stoned at a local party, he invites fellow American Crystal Fairy (Gaby Hoffman)—a hippie, hairy, sometimes off-putting and often-naked free spirit—on his quest for a rare mescaline-producing cactus on a camping trip with friends. The sparse plot nonetheless provides opportunities for a little self-reflection and some original, dark humor, making the druggy affair a worthwhile trip to the theater.—Josh Jackson
15. The Crash Reel
Director: Lucy Walker
Even for those of us who have no interest in snowboarding or winter sports, The Crash Reel provides a remarkable story about family. What could have easily been a by-the-numbers recovery story about a niche sport is constantly compelling in the hands of one of our most talented young documentarians—Oscar-nominee Lucy Walker. It’s striking how different each of Walker’s movies are in both subject matter and feel, yet she’s remarkably consistent. She finds the right story and the right tone every single time.—Michael Dunaway
14. Afternoon Delight
Director: Jill Soloway
Actors: Kathryn Hahn, Juno Temple, Josh Radnor, Jane Lynch
We often see films about male midlife crises, so it’s refreshing to experience one from a woman’s point of view. From the beginning of the movie, McKenna (Kathryn Hahn) feels like a fish out of water among her friends, and she’s losing touch with her husband (Josh Radnor). Director Jill Soloway does a really good job of building that frustration so when McKenna has a spark of chemistry with a young dancer at a strip club (Juno Temple), it’s more believable that she’d let her into her life. Her character is obviously well-intention, but her self-destruction isn’t sugar-coated. And we get to see a new side of Josh Radnor than we’ve seen before—darker, more troubled and internal.—Michael Dunaway
13. The Gatekeepers
Director: Dror Moreh
Dror Moreh’s documentary has already played at Telluride and Toronto, and is even already nominated for an Oscar, but it plays Sundance this year in the Spotlight section, reserved for a select few films that have played other festivals. It earns its spot, and then some. Amazingly, Moreh conducted interviews with every single head of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. The access boggles the mind, and some of the stories are riveting. If there’s a flaw in the film, it’s one of bias—the film dwells on Israeli atrocities while mitigating its criticisms of Palestinian terrorism. Still, it’s a fascinating look behind the curtain. And it’s a technical tour de force—Moreh does things with still photos that I’ve never seen done in a film before.—Michael Dunaway
12. Toy’s House
Director: Jordan Vogt-Roberts
Actors: Nick Robinson, Nick Offerman, Moises Arias, Gabriel Basso, Alison Brie, Megan Mullally, Erin Moriarty
Comedies generally fare well at Sundance. After hours of watching dark, disturbing dramas and depressing documentaries, sometimes you just need a laugh. Toy’s House provides plenty. Like Superbad (but with less raunch and even more heart), it tells the story of three boys on the brink of becoming men—struggling to fit in at school and at home. Joe Toy (Nick Robinson) has had enough of his overbearing, miserable widower father (Nick Offerman) and decides to build a house in the woods for he and his friend Patrick (Gabriel Basso). Moises Arias steals scene after scene as the awkward third roommate who just kind of shows up.—Josh Jackson
11. Fill the Void
Director: Rama Burshtein
Actors: Hila Feldman, Razia Israeli, Yiftach Klein, Renana Raz, Ido Samuel
The press materials describe the film as a Jane Austin novel set in Tel Aviv’s ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community, and that’s about as close to the mark as we can get. It’s more than just a peek behind the veil of a seldom-depicted society, though. The tender film is anchored by a sensitive bravura lead performance by Hila Feldman. Somehow her struggles with family and marriage, while maintaining a parcularly Orthodox spin, still seem completely universal, as well.—Michael Dunaway
10. Don Jon’s Addiction
Director: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Actors: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Rob Brown
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has come a very long way since Third Rock From the Sun (and a rich career as a child actor that preceded even that). He’s shown an amazing range in films like Hesher, Mysterious Skin and his recent run of blockbusters. And he stretches himself further in his first directorial effort, Jon Don’s Addiction, playing a New Jersey Don Juan whose routine involves his car, his gym, his club, his church, his women and his porn. It’s an interesting—and hilarious—look at both how men objectify women and how women objectify men. His seemingly irredeemable character finds redemption in surprising ways.—Josh Jackson
Director: William Friedkin
Actors: Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Gina Gershon, Juno Temple, Thomas Haden Church
The power of a thunderous movie ending should never be underestimated. Even if everything that precedes a film’s closing scenes underwhelms, the last shot can send audiences out on a high that’ll make them forgive all of the inadequacies. Acclaimed director William Friedkin’s (The French Connection, The Exorcist) extremely pulpy and grimy, though unfairly NC-17-rated, Killer Joe has one of the craziest, entertainingly off-the-rails endings in recent years, but what makes it such a complete success is that the film as a whole is a victory.

Samsung Orb The Latest Camera Technology Breakthroughs in Galaxy S4
Most of the users of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean may be familiar with Google Photosphere which allows an individual or the photographer to take 360 degree panoramic photos. Photosphere existence itself is essentially not new, since this feature has also been used by the Nexus devices based on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
Well if that possibility to be believed, it seems Samsung will make an application or device itself and could debut with the camera feature called "Samsung Orb" with its smartphone Galaxy S4. The latest camera features called Samsung Orb was originally scheduled to be debuted with Samsung Galaxy S4 soon to be released in the near future.
Although still not sure how the feature will work, but if had to guess probably not be much different from Google Photosphere. So with the inclusion of features Samsungs Orb, practical product line will increase the strength of Samsungs latest flagship in the days to come

QR Code The Quick Response Code Can it replace Barcode
QR Code (The Quick Response Code)-Can it replace Barcode
Now a days we all see a square containing squiggly images, some thick lines some small squares within it looking like an indoor children game or a puzzle on many packages in the market. Initially it’s use was started in Japan for tracking car parts, but now its use has been much increased. Even train tickets are marked with a QR Code in China. All most we all do not notice it but this rectangular image contains every thing about the thing in side the pack. Though human eyes can not read the contents behind it but the image reader can read and display the information on the screen within a fraction of second. The Quick Response code on an product/package will look like the one below -
A simple QR Code-Source-wikipedia.org
This rectangular group of codes is called The Quick Response code commonly QR code. Before the invention of QR code the Bar code was in use but Bar code had it’s own limit of 20 Digits maximum and Toyota, a major car manufacturer of Japan was facing difficulties with bar code. Then the responsibility to get rid of this problem was solved by their subsidiary company Denso, in 1994.
Where Bar code was limited to 20 digits, QR code was capable of responding more than 7000 number or about 4300 alphanumeric character thus almost 350 times of the barcode.
Though in the beginning, reading of the QR code was possible with the dedicated reader but now with the use of QR code in marketing, the reading of QR code has also been going to be easy. Some smart phones have capacity not only to read but create QR codes with the help of software available on line. i-nigma QR code, QR Scanner and Quickmark-QR Code and many more software are available online at a very low or at no cost.

The Easiest Way to Improve Control Over Your Employees
Image credit: The People Group
Business management and norms keep on changing in accord with the modern world’s requirements. Each day employers cope with different business norms and experience. Anyway, the main strategic points never change - the better is the employer–employee interaction, the better is the business growth. Business monitoring is one of the inevitably important issues in this regard. The key to success is the trust in any kind of activities, but monitoring and control shouldn’t be left in ignorance under any circumstances. In this modern digital world, employers face the growing need for such supervision each and every day.
Monitoring and Control
Reasons for Business Monitoring and Control
Beyond any doubts, the basic building blocks of any kind of relationships are trust and commitment. Trust is requirement number one in all respects. On the other hand, as employers deal with human beings, they are well aware that constant business control should be applied on each step. More particularly, such monitoring should be oriented towards internet and mobile phone usages at places of work. The majority of company managers are already applying supervision systems in their offices (installed on office computers, etc.) that are called to limit the usage of internet, etc.
Of course, there is still much to be done in this concern, because the control over, e.g. this or that social media page is rather challenging – the employers should find out whether their employees are using their personal pages for their own purposes, or are just using the company pages for the company’s business purposes (for updating, etc.).
This is true of office mobile phones as well – the bills include both personal and business calls, so employers should again find out the purpose of phone calls. The difficulty lies in the fact that no one can do away without both internet and phone usages, and the only way out is to try to keep an eye on all these points. What is more crucial, employees can easily give some confidential information to competitors; though, this can be done both intentionally and unintentionally.
Ways for Business Monitoring and Control
The ways to solve business monitoring problems are technological. The thing is that these problems themselves are of technological nature. One of the ways to carry out such supervision is to use special devices and software. These are developed to check the necessary data and information (contacts, history, conversations, etc.) in order to find out if they have served the required purposes.
One of the above mentioned software applications is called “mSpy”. This mSpy software is one of the best ways to keep an eye on what is going on inside your office. This way, employers get the easiest way to spy over their employees’ activities concerning both data change and phone calls, messages and web browsing history, stored and shared files, locations, etc. Thus, everything that is being fulfilled via mobile phones, in regard with the given company’s business affairs, remains within the reach of the company’s manager. On the other hand, this is an excellent way to keep your employees on alert all the time, and enlarge the control over information flows and leakage.
Such business monitoring is not restricted only to mobile phone usages; it can also be applied for the control over computers. What is more, do not forget about reliable employees! They are of vital importance in all kinds of business affairs. So, even if you decide to turn to the above mentioned ways of business monitoring and control, try to have a reliable team of employees. This will undoubtedly contribute to the success of your overall business to a greater extent!

Samsung Series 7 Ultra the Beautiful Ultrabook to Work
In 2013, the ultrabook parties still has not stopped. Major vendors seem still not satisfied bring portable computer that has a thin and lightweight characteristics on the market. Electronic device manufacturers from South Korea, Samsung, is a fairly diligent vendor produces the Ultrabook. the Ultrabook one of the latest series that has been present on the market is the Samsung Series 7 Ultra.
Design of Series 7 Ultra is still the same as the previous series, very unsightly. However, what about the ability of computing? Lets look at the following review.
Like the other brands ultrabook, the Samsung Series 7 Ultra thin appearance and carries a light weight. It has a thickness of 17.5 mm and weighs 1.46 kg. Her body looks gorgeous with cast aluminum casing with material type. Samsung logo printed on the back of the screen is made of polished aluminum. Silver color, or referred to Samsung as "Metal" became the main theme of this ultrabook. Logo sticker was white and gray a bit aligned.
According to the statement of the Samsung, only a few products that received the title "Premium" by Intel, of course, one of which is the Samsung Series 7 Ultra. Samsung puts all input / output ports on the right side and left ultrabook.A row of connector on the left side is:
- 2x USB 2.0
- Card Reader
- Kensington Lock
Connector on the right side is:
- 1x USB 3.0
- 1x HDMI
- 1x VGA (adapter)
- Headphone-out jack (3.5 mm)
- Adaptor
Uniquely, still on the right, there are RJ-45 connector for wired LAN. Usually, because it comes with a thin body, the vendor provides a separate ethernet dongle.
The keyboard on the Samsung Series 7 Ultra uses chiclet design with matching buttons with the casing, making this device more beautiful when it is opened. Series of buttons is quite wide, prevent users from incorrectly ketik.Touchpad used relatively large for the size of portable computer, which is 10.7 x 7.7 cm wide. Has a width size, makes the user comfortable to move the mouse pointer. However, this measure also raises the negative side, the touchpad so often touched accidentally.
The entire surface of the touchpad is sensitive to pressure. Unfortunately, there is no separation between the left and right click buttons. Users have little to guess between the two keys. Same with a new ultrabook and a portable computer on the market, the touchpad supports multi-gesture input.
The Samsung has repeatedly called this product as a premium device. This is evidenced by features backlighting on the keyboard. Premium products usually use these features, in addition to facilitate the user when typing in low light conditions, as well as to enhance its products.
For sound system problems, Samsung handed it to JBL. The sound it produces is quite stunning.
Samsung Series 7 Ultra is equipped with a dual-core Intel Core i5-3337U-speed 1.8 GHz, 4GB of DDR3 RAM combined. This combination is more than enough to handle a wide range of usage scenarios, ranging from just running word processing, surfing the internet, to photo editing.
Run any multimedia file is not a difficult thing for this device. Full-HD movies (1080p) can be played smoothly, without any lag. The screen resolution is very supportive playback Full HD movies. Resolution reaches 1920 x 1080 pixels with 16:9 ratio. The display quality of the Samsung Series 7 Ultra looks good. Display looks bright and sunny. After further investigation, it is known that the type used is the IPS screen with 350 nit brightness level.
Ultrabook is not equipped with hard disk storage media. It was equipped with a SSD with a capacity of up to 256GB. Its capacity is not too large, but this component can help speed up the waiting time for loading applications. The section also makes boot up time is very fast. To get into the operating system, the system only takes 2 seconds only. If users want more capacity, it is recommended to use an external hard disk.
Samsung Series 7 Ultras keyboard keys are quite soft and give positive feedback that feels comfortable for typing. Unfortunately, as mentioned previously, the touchpad is large and feels a bit disturbing. Processor Intel Core i5-3337U is equipped with Intel HD 4000 graphics. The GPU is already quite strong, but Samsung still complete this ultrabook with discrete graphics in the form of the AMD Radeon 8570M.
The graphics card itself is not the type of graphics processors aimed to berain heavyweight game. Users can still use the ultrabook to play game titles that are not too heavy. Users have to do some setting changes, such as lowering the resolution and graphics detail, if you want comfortable playing.

Phishing The worldwide internet threat an overview
Phishing-The worldwide internet threat, an overview
Phishing-What is it ?-The word Phishing is derived from the word ‘Fish’. The activity is also of the similar nature. As a fisherman drops his fishing line in the sea among the countless fishes, some times he succeeds and other times not. Phishing is a problem faced by Banking institutions worldwide. It is an attempt to fish for your banking details. Phishing could be an e-mail that appears to be from your bank. Please note that Banks will never ask for confidential password, login ID or any other data because they already have these. Most common mistake done even by the highly skilled users and computer experts is that they provide their account ID, Pass words, and other account information. Why don’t they apply a small amount of their mind that their bank already has these details and need not to ask you on emails and this information is provided to him by the bank it self. Phishing is a technique which came in light and was described in detail around 1987, and it’s first recorded use of the term "phishing" was reported in 1995. The term is a variant of fishing probably influenced by fishing and alludes to "baits" used in hopes that the potential victim will "bite" by clicking a malicious link or opening a malicious attachment, in which case their financial information and passwords may then be stolen..
Common Phishing Techniques-
Spear Phishing
The Phishing attempts made directed at some specific individuals or companies or a banking institution is termed as spear phishing. In this type of phishing the attackers first gather detailed information about their targeted victims to increase their probability of success.
Clone Phishing
In this type of phishing attack a clone of, a previously delivered, legitimate email (May contain an attachment or link) its content and recipient address is taken and used to create an almost identical cloned email. The attachment or Link within the email is replaced with a malicious version and then sent from an email address spoofed to appear to come from the original sender. It may also claim to be a re-send of the original or an updated version to the original. This could be used to pivot (indirectly) from a previously infected machine and gain a foothold on another machine, by exploiting the social trust associated with the inferred connection due to both parties receiving the original email.

Whaling
When phishing attacks have been directed specifically at senior executives and other high profile targets within businesses, is termed as whaling. In this type of phishing attackers will be in huge benefit if successful. In such cases two senior executives are targeted. For example “Thedi Corp.” has business relations with “Kolkata Corp.” and “Thedi Corp.” frequently transfers money to the account No-9999999999 of “Kolkata Corp.” at Kolkata. The attacker has stolen the details of the account of “Kolkata Corp.”. He will send an email to “Thedi Corp.” that we(“Kolkata Corp.”) are establishing a new business office at Mumbai(or may give any other reason) therefore in future make all payment to account no-8888888888 at Mumbai. This account 8888888888 will be of the Phishing person and assuming the email genuine, Now Thedi Corp will start transferring all payments related to Kolkata Corp. to the account no-8888888888 and some times until the fact reveals the victim may have lost a huge amount.
Link manipulation
In Most cases some kind of technical deception designed to make a link in an e-mail appearing to be from the genuine organization, which will lead to the destination desired by the fisher Misspelled URLs or the use of sub domains are the Common tricks used. Let us understand it by the following example - The URL, http://www.thedibank.comp.com/, at first sight it appears that the URL will take you to the comp section of the thedibank website, but actually this URL points to the " thedibank.comp.com " i.e. the phishing website. Now a days every body is in so hurry that he don’t read the complete URL. They have no time to think on the difference between thedibank.com and thedibank.comp.com. They never think and click immediately while they see the name of there bank.
Text instead of a link
Another common trick used is to make the displayed text instead of a link, the text between the tags suggests a reliable destination, but the link actually goes to the phishers site. By the following example let us try to understand. The link, http://www.thedibank.com/current appears to direct the user to the "Current Account"; section of the thedibank but actyally it will take the user to a URL hidden behind the text “current” in other words to the fisher’s site. In such cases the user can detect, where the URL will take him, by hovering his cursor over the link for a couple of seconds the lower left hand corner of most of the browsers users can preview and verify where the link is going to take them, but this can still be set by the phisher.
Software Installation –(The MailFrontier Phishing)
Some times you will receive an email with an attachment. Bank’s logo/monograms and style will appear to be the same as if it has been received from your bank. The email will contain instructions to install the software contained in the attachment for the sake of improvement in speed, security, service or may be some other reason. Never click on such attachments and report the matter immediately to your bank otherwise your balance may be zero within minutes, because the software will immediately send your account details including the password and user ID to the phisher.
