"Pop-ups" are browser windows which open without prompting, displaying new information and/or text when engaged. They have existed since the days of dial-up Internet access and have served to be both useful and annoying, depending on who programmed them. For the most part, modern pop-ups are benign, and are used to prompt users for more information.
Currently, one of the biggest trends with pop-ups is to use them to create scary optical illusions or simulations. The tricks of the eye and the mind have long been documented and many popular "parlor tricks" can now be replicated using the Internet and the power of pop-ups. Standard scary illusions and alerts can be used to grab a viewer's attention or force them to pay attention when they are otherwise occupied. Some basic tips and methods of using such scary optical illusions include:
Showing that the mind can be tricked to prove a point. Certain tricks of the eye are now commonly established and the doubts created by these tricks are now very popular among conspiracy theorists and image fanatics. Persons who enjoy looking closely at images in order to spot distortions can be proven right or wrong by potentially scary optical illusion pop-ups. Many UFO websites and other conspiracy theory websites use scary pop-ups in order to help visitors understand that what they think they know may in fact not be true.
Startling or frightening the user for an effect. This is particularly popular with Halloween sites. So-called "screamers" which display a scary image or effect in addition to a loud noise are particularly popular, since they are effective at giving the viewer a startle-scare. Unexpected pop-ups, particularly those that wait some time before appearing, are particularly good for this use. The use of such pop-ups has been shown time and time again to be effective in virtual haunted houses.
Surprising the reader in order to get their attention. Many causes and campaigns need to frighten their readers a little bit in order to get them to understand the seriousness of the situation. A pop-up that surprises the reader with graphic images or strong language can be one of the quickest ways of evoking a visceral response. A number of political groups now use this sort of pop up, especially when dealing with medical and social issues which are particularly graphic.
Startling a user who may have fallen asleep. Very long or very boring websites with a large amount of text or a slow video clip may find that they can engage their viewers through the use of a scary pop up illusion or two. Suddenly making the screen appear to melt or change behavior can grab the attention of a sleepy visitor and make them pay attention.
Fooling a visitor into thinking they are viewing a page that they are not. Modern web browsers and broadband connections load pages so quickly that a user may not notice that a pop-up illusion has slipped right in front of their face. By using a scary pop-up illusion in this manner, it is possible to trick a viewer into thinking they are looking at something that isn't there, an excellent trick for creepy effects for those who want to make an artistic point.

Internet Authors Don't Need Timing
Of all the useless advice given to would-be authors, perhaps the most unhelpful is the idea that to be a successful author you need 'timing'. That is, your great idea for a novel has to hit the public consciousness at a time that makes your story relevant to them. An example might be, for instance, that right now, in the autumn months of 2007, I'm working on a thriller that starts from the proposition that Princess Diana was deliberately murdered in 1997 in Paris by a combination of national security organisations. I started working on a synopsis a couple of months ago, and I've got a number of chapters under my belt. Now I look at the TV News and notice that a new Inquest has started in London into the death of the Royal lady. What luck! Well, no. If my book was in the bookshop right now at this moment in time then it might attract attention and, possibly, sales. But it won't even be finished for a few months. By the time it gets to the publisher even if they like it, which they might not it would take a Traditional Publisher many months to get it ready for publication. Judging by their usual timescales, they might get the new book onto the bookshelves by, say, Christmas 2008. Woops, the moment has passed. Timing is everything, say the advisors. You should have got the book written last year, then it would be ready for when it is really needed. Like, now.
Great. Good advice. That is, if I could have seen into the future or, more unlikely, guessed that an Inquest would ever take place in England. Last year, no one believed it was possible. After all, the idea had been around for nearly a decade and the authorities kept refusing it. Who could have foreseen it would happen? Worse, who would risk their time and imagination creating a novel about Lady Di just in case it became topical. Not many authors would bend their creative will to such an eventuality. Better to write the book you really want to write, not the one you hope that the public will enjoy. After all, synchronicity is very rare, very rare indeed. I know of only one real-life example. An author in England, now famous for his Science Fiction, wrote an adventure back in the 1970s about a war in the South Atlantic. Publishers rejected it, but when the Falklands War broke out in 1982, they dug it out, dusted it off, and published it to great success. Much money was made. So was the writer. His career was launched, from that day.
Back to Princess Diana. Okay, so Traditional Publishers are going to find it hard to 'jump on the bandwagon', but what could an Internet Author do? The answer is quite a lot. It seems, in fact, that the Inquest is scheduled to rumble on for another six months. Plenty of time to finish the first draft and get it published at an on-line, on-demand publisher like Lulu. That means, yes, the Internet Author could make use of the 'timing' advice and make their 'Diana' novel available while her name is still in the news. Quite an opportunity! Anybody but me willing to give it a go?
Well, maybe, not me. Because I've got an even more interesting opportunity that has arisen recently. A friend of mine took part in a TV documentary earlier this year. The programme is part of a series that will be going out soon. The date, for broadcast on national television, hasn't been agreed but will probably be in later October. In August I got the idea of writing his biography, (or, more accurately, his Autobiography, partly written with my help). In terms of Traditional Publishers, this is a ridiculous timetable. Not so for the Internet Author. The first draft of the book was put together in September, and loaded up onto Lulu at the beginning of October. My vision is this: my friend will be interviewed on the 'Richard and Judy' TV chat show later in the month. They'll be keen to hear about his TV programme. They'll notice he has had a pretty exciting and interesting life. 'Yes, Judy,' he will say, 'and I've written about it.' At that point he will hand her a brightly coloured paperback book. Richard and Judy love books. They accept the copy being offered and agree to read it. Later in the year, they review it. My friend is invited back onto the show to discuss it. His career takes off. The rest is history.
There is a theme here. It's simply this: in the world of Traditional Publishing, it's a heck of a long timeframe from the finish of writing a manuscript to getting the book printed, distributed and on the bookshop's shelves. In that world, it's sheer luck whether the new novel arrives at a time that is in any way relevant to the readers. Those who get the luck are said to have 'good timing'. However, in the world of the Internet Author, it's a darn sight quicker from manuscript to print, which means that timing hardly matters. In real terms, a matter of months is nothing, but that's how long the internet publishing process can take from start to finish.
Another good reason for would-be writers to look first at the internet, rather than the oft-advertised claims of the Traditional Publisher. Think about it. You read the newspaper, you watch the TV News. It gives you an idea for a book. Great. You might just be able maybe with a bit of luck to succeed in getting your novel written, published and in the public eye before the news item goes completely out-of-date. What an opportunity that is!

president kennedy conspiracy?
sorry if i spelled his name wrong lol me and my mum were talking about the MJ and Elivis conspiracy (btw i believe their both dead) and my mum mentioned that some people think Kennedy's assasination was a conspiracy, what's all that about? didn't he die in front of loads of people?
After time and improved scientific forensics, there is no doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald did it and did it alone. For reference, use Vincent Bugliosi's epic work "Reclaiming History". It answers every question you may have about the JFK Assassination in it's 1612 pages.
