The Continuing Public/Private Surveillance Partnership

If you’ve been reading the news recently, you might think that corporate America is doing its best to thwart NSA surveillance.

Google just announced that it is encrypting Gmail when you access it from your computer or phone, and between data centers. Last week, Mark Zuckerberg personally called President Obama to complain about the NSA using Facebook as a means to hack computers, and Facebook’s Chief Security Officer explained to reporters that the attack technique has not worked since last summer. Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, and others are now regularly publishing “transparency reports,” listing approximately how many government data requests the companies have received and complied with.

CSS3 – change image – blur, brightness, saturation, hue, contrast, invert colors, grayscale and sepia

Sh*ts, , , , , , , , ,

So, if you plan to change some of image properties with CSS filter is your solution.

-webkit-filter: filter(value);
-moz-filter: filter(value);
-o-filter: filter(value);
-ms-filter: filter(value);

You can replace filter with the following values

  • blur
  • brightness
  • saturate,
  • hue-rotate
  • contrast
  • invert
  • grayscale
  • sepia

Example

filter: invert(100%);
// Browser Specific
-webkit-filter: invert(100%);
-moz-filter: invert(100%);
-o-filter: invert(100%);
-ms-filter: invert(100%);

Concat/concatenate then

filter: blur(5px) brightness(0.5);

Displaying charts in tabs

Sh*ts, ,

I have two amcharts on different tabs. A stock chart to be place on #chartdiv and a pie chart to be placed on #chartdivpie. This is how I solved my problem.

My custom css – to overwrite bootstrap –

#chartdivpie { width: 1138px; height: 500px; }
.tab-content .tab-pane {
   position: absolute;
   top: -9999px;
   left: -9999px;
   display: inline;
}
.tab-content .tab-pane.active {
    position: inherit !important;
}

JQuery call

$('#myTab a').click(function (e) {
      e.preventDefault()
        $(this).tab('show');
        chart.invalidateSize();
        chart.write('chartdiv');
    })
