Last month at WWDC, Apple promised that consumers would be able to get their grubby paws on Mountain Lion come July. It looks like the latest version of OS X is one step closer to being fully-baked, with seeds of the Gold Master hitting the company's developer download site today. The operating system upgrade will run you $20 when it's ready for us non-developers. In the meantime, here's a hands-on with the beta version of the OS.
The word gold can make any person’s eyes light up. Well, they will really light up when you hear that there’s more than 165,000 metric tons of it! In 2011, this was the best estimate of the world’s total gold in weight. More than half of humanity’s gold has been mined from the earth in the past 50 years!
To break this down, almost four olympic sized pools could hold all the gold that has ever been mined. Also, if everyone on earth were to get their fair share in the world’s gold total, each person would receive five gold rings!
One major question is, how is this mined gold used? Just around 52 percent goes to the jewelry trade. Then, 18 percent makes up the total holdings of the world’s central banks. The rest fall to investments and industrial use. Gold is a powerful thing, and India leads the way at about 745 metric tons of consumption!
For millennia, gold has been considered a precious commodity. It’s a resource that can be saved, sold, bartered, and consumed. Despite these modern times, when technology and globalization are highly valued, gold is still one of the world’s most prized possessions.

Each and every industry has its own sets of trends that come and go every now and then. Similar is the case with the design industry where trends are always short-lived. There are some styles of logo designing that were famous in a certain point in time but lose their vigor after a while.
You know poster printing is one of the most effective tool to promote any product,service or organization today and of course in the past.Well,as a retro fan of everything, i also like posters that don’t get old.They are all like time machines which take me back to old times.
Ever since I first saw images of Dubai a few years ago, I have been fascinated with the place. It is just one of those places that have a lot of amazing things about it (it is named one of the world’s most expensive cities for a reason!), it went from being an obscure place that not many knew about, to a lush and luxurious city seemingly (to us in the USA I guess) overnight.
Gold’s meteoric rise over the past decade (up about 650 percent) might make you wish that you’d liquidated your stock portfolio and used the proceeds to fill a safe in your basement with gold coins. Whether the bull market in gold will continue as economic uncertainty drives more people towards its safe haven is unknown. But if still you’re looking to get into gold, you’ll need to decide whether to buy physical gold, mining stocks, or funds that buy and hold gold bullion for you – and avoid scams and negotiate a host of complex tax rules. Here’s four things to consider so you don’t get burned.
