Here is how heaven looks like

 What happens when you die? It is most certainly one of life's biggest questions.

Several near-death survivors have come forward to narrate what they had a glimpse of when they were in heaven.

Now, Don Piper, an ordained Baptist minister, who was once pronounced dead following a car accident, has shared his intriguing story.

He says he remembers music that was "beyond spectacular" and aromas he'd never smelled before. His grandfather was there to greet him warmly, as dozens of others who had died in years past stood before him in front of a magnificent gate, reports ABC News.

Piper, who insists it was no dream and visited heaven, has chronicled his experience in the New York Times bestseller, "90 Minutes in Heaven." "It was the most real thing that ever happened to me," he said.

There were lights reflecting off the gates, which looked like they were "pulsating with life. "That's because in heaven there is no artificial light, God illuminates it with his glory. In front of the gate stood his grandfather, welcoming him "home," he said.

"I was heartbroken when he died," he said. "Now I'm at the gates of heaven (and) he's the first person to greet me."

Piper, who was ordained in 1985, said he could not have imagined what he saw in heaven. "You know, if I was having a dream about it, this wouldn't be in it," he said. "Some of these people who met me at the gates, I haven't thought of in decades."

He believes he was sent back to spread a special message: "Heaven is a real place." (ANI)

Germany officials asked facebook to stop using the face recognition software

We all know that most of us want privacy in different situations especially when we’re online. So many people don’t want their identity to be uncovered when they’re online and that’s why in most of the social networks, online forums and in other websites which people can log in and have membership many people prefer to use different names. It is common to find a comment online from someone with a display name “thesuperman1” or “123be” or any other name which doesn’t look like a real name. All this is because we want privacy.

This week Germany officials have scolded facebook on privacy issues. The Germany officials said that facebook use face recognition software in a manner that violates German and European law. They asked Facebook to delete all the biometric data that they have collected.

"If the users' data falls into the wrong hands, it would be possible to compare and identify anybody captured in a photo taken with a mobile phone," Caspar told the Hamburger Abenblatt newspaper.

They programme allows Facebook users to locate new "Friends" after discovering their identity through a biometric data scan.

The programme tries to match data captured in a picture with the trove of data it has already collected from its hundreds of millions of users.

"This is what's most problematic. The programme feeds off a stock of data designed to physically identify millions of users," he said.

He further scolded Facebook for collecting and storing biometric data without users' consent, insisting the practice violates privacy laws.

Germany, which is considered a leader on Internet privacy issues, has criticised Google for its "Street View" programme, which makes street-level images freely available online.

German officials also previously urged Facebook to beef up its privacy protections, notably over its Friend Finder feature, which allowed the site to register or even import users' entire email address books without notifying them.

In January, Facebook agreed to inform its members that it had obtained email addresses in their accounts.

Facebook claims to have more than 750 million members.
