Cover Photo issues - Facebook Timeline

I am pretty sure you must have activated the facebook timeline by now. If you haven't, why? Why? It's pretty and super-cool! :) [at least mine is.] Google how to activate timeline, or wait till 11th, whatever suits you.
Well for those of you who have activated it, you might have faced some issues involving the cover picture. At least I did, my browser was showing just the bottom half of the picture on anyone's timeline. So here's what you can do to rectify it.
Go to your profile page, hover over the photo, and you'll get an option to change it. From the drop down menu choose reposition and then press cancel.
If you still have a problem then click near the top of the picture.
That should do the trick! :)

Happy(?) Diwali

Remember a certain satellite view of a brightly illuminated India on Diwali night making rounds of internet last year? I am sure you'd have seen the above-mentioned image shared by some 50 odd facebook friends of yours who are now waiting excitedly for this year's view. If only you had taken some pains to type into google, you'd have known by now that its just a hoax and is not what it claims to be. This happens to be an overlay of images of India's night illumination taken by NASA over the years. Anyways, you could've judged for yourself how inaccurate this pic is without all that help from the news channels and the blogs. They missed out all the smoke! I photoshopped the original image to show what an actual Diwali night satellite view of India might look like.
India on Diwali! Cheers!
Wishing you all a happy and more importantly clean and safe Diwali.
