You can not delete anything on Internet

It's always fun to write about research that you can actually try out for yourself.

Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL to the picture is (the actual photo, not the page on which the photo resides), and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will.

Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University (so you know this is legit, people!) have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request.

Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying to access the service simultaneously. (Yahoo! Tech is served by dozens of servers, for example.) But because changes aren't reflected across the CDN immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks.

In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time." Though obviously that time can vary considerably.

Of course, once a photo escapes from the walled garden of a social network like Facebook, the chances of deleting it permanently fall even further. Google's caching system is remarkably efficient at archiving copies of web content, long after it's removed from the web. Anyone who's ever used Google Image Search can likely tell you a story about clicking on a thumbnail image, only to find that the image has been deleted from the website in question -- yet the thumbnail remains on Google for months. And then there are services like the Wayback Machine, which copy entire websites for posterity, archiving data and pictures forever.

The lesson: Those drunken party photos you don't want people to see? Simply don't upload them to the web, ever, because trying to delete them after you sober up is a tough proposition.

Photoshop: Advertising Banner Design For website

In this tutorial I’ll teach you how to make a nice, sleek and professional advertisement banner. It’s really quite easy, but you will need previous Photoshop knowledge to successfully complete this tutorial.


Step 1:

First step is to make the document in Photoshop. File > New, use a size of 468 x 60 pixels.
Now fill the background with a nice orange gradient, the colors I used for my gradient were #e14d0f and #4d1805.

Note that you’ll need to use the Gradient Tool to fill the background with the gradient. You can find the gradient tool on the same button as the fill bucket tool.

Step 2:

Next thing to do is create a new layer. Now using the Polygonal Lasso Tool, make a selection like mine in the left section of your document.

Be sure you’re on a new layer, then fill your selection with a nice, bright gradient, the colors for the gradient I used were #0084e6 and #003967.

Right-click your layer and go into the Blending Options, apply the following layer styles for your blue gradient layer:


After you applied those two layer styles, your thing should now look like this:

Lastly for this step, add a nice glossy highlight to your blue gradient layer, you can do this by following these few simple steps:

1. Start by making a new layer, now select the blue gradient layer by holding ctrl and clicking the layer’s thumbnail.
2. Using the Gradient Tool, drag a white gradient inside of your selection.
3. After making your gradient, nudge your selection down 30 pixels (hold shift and press the down arrow key three times) then press delete.
4. Change the layer mode for your shine layer to Soft Light, and lower the opacity to about 30-55%.

Step 3:

How about adding some nice details?
Start by using the pen tool to make a nice, smooth path in the background on the right. After you made a nice selection, do a little soft brushing inside then change the layer mode to Soft Light and lower the opacity if needed.



Step 4:

Write out your description text in the left section using the Horizontal Type Tool, write your text out in white (#FFFFFF.)


The font used above is called RockWell, you can find it for free on DaFont.
After writing out your text, apply the following layer styles:


That will have made your text stand out a bit more nicely.

Step 5:

Next thing to do is add in some thumbnails or something else on the right side, or you could use some descriptive text. I added in 3 thumbnails from tutorials from PhotoshopSpot, then applied this Inner Glow and this Stroke.


You should have something like this:

Step 6:

Lastly you’ll want to add in something that will attract the users’ eye, so I added in a little star badge with the text: “GO!”

Firstly I made the star badge by using the Polygon Tool, then I added in the following layer styles:



And you should have a badge that looks like this:

Lastly I added in the text for the badge, I then applied the following layer styles:


And now you should have text that looks like this:

Step 7:

Last thing you will want to do is add in the border, I guess it depends what sort of website it will be going on to choose the color. If it’s going on a black website, you should use white as the border, if it’s going on a white website, you should use a black border.
