Being trolled online has become somewhat of a norm. People consider creating fake accounts abusing someone’s identity as a casual indulgence, which is indeed a very dangerous attitude. Specifically, with the boom of social networks, the trend has gained traction. In what may turn out to be the first case of its kind, a woman who has been trolled on Facebook now aims to bring these trolls to the realm of legal action.
Iran has been increasingly isolating itself in the realm of internet. It has been closing itself from the rest of the world and trying to become self-dependent in all things, from web hosting to emailing services. We earlier reported that Iran was planning to launch an ‘internet’ of its own and apparently, the regime is now going forward with the notion.
Online hacktivism is a gaining trend and scores of young fellows, specifically teenage boys, have taken a liking to it and are becoming a part of it. With hacktivist outfits having hacked a lot of websites and revealed leaks of personal and official data, governments around the world are taken their activities a lot more seriously.
Social networks have been under fire recently because of the poor implementation of user privacy, at instances. Facebook has been actively working to aid the users in guarding their privacy in the best way possible. The social network has now updated its Data Use policy so that the users can understand more clearly what the policy means.
Imagine that you are a really boring person with status updates which no one really cares to read. And that you wished you could make people notice your status updates oftener. Well, if are not getting any wittier or interesting, Facebook may have the right solution for you. It is called the new ‘highlight’ feature.
Making fun of recent technology or social service is very common. Like previously we published funny video of G-Male And Siri. Now they same group Comediva brings a new video which shows what if we start Pinning like Pinterest in real life with real stuff? It shows the scary situation in a funny style. Its a must watch video.
Google has been trying to bring a ‘social experience’ to Google search. It did so by integrating the Google+ accounts with its search so that you could see results from your G+ account in the Google search results. The feature was being called ‘Search Plus your world.’ However, it was severely criticized as a result because it chose not to integrate Facebook and Twitter in this ‘social search’ venture. Now, the second most used search engine, Bing is doing what Google didn’t.
Twitter has seen a huge surge in its popularity recently. People from virtually every sphere of life are flocking to the micro-blogging site to vent out their thoughts. However, at the same time, Twitter has become the hub for spammers who spew a huge amount of spam tweets through bots and fake accounts. It would seem that a recent data breach resulting in the public publishing of 55000 accounts’ details may have targeted spammers.
The battle of browsers are getting more intensive. Internet Explorer (IE) was the top browser of 2011. Firefox has been the first browser to challenge IE’s dominance. Chrome has also gained market share over the last quarters. A new development in this war is Microsoft’s decision to ban Firefox and other browsers on its new ARM-based Windows RT systems. Aren’t you eager to know the real reason behind this drastic decision?
Facebook has confirmed that they have launched a new app center. Facebook wants to bring all types of apps such as iOS apps, Android apps, web apps, mobile web apps even desktop apps on this App Center. By using mobile app center, a user can browse apps which is compatible with their device, if a mobile app is needs to be installed then the user will be sent to download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
Social media has come about to play a huge role in our lives, so much so that nearly every other person is somehow there on one or other of the social networks online. But these online interactions have also come with their problems and risks. For instance, one can easily create a fake identity to fool others.
Mobile platform has become increasingly important for nearly everyone in the tech world. With billions of users hooked up to the mobile platform, it is definitely overtaking the regular computer platform to become the top priority. A recent report by ComScore now shows that Facebook users who use it on their smartphones spend lot more time on it than such Facebook users who log in from its regular version from a computer.
Google had offered the ‘Hangouts on Air’ feature to a limited number of Google+ users. And now, the company has rolled out the feature to the entire user base of its social network. This feature is really cool and very useful in that it allows you to broadcast an event live from your YouTube channel as well as from the Google+ stream.
One of the major changes that have been added to Facebook is the Facebook Timeline. Timeline essentially overhauled the very interface of a user profile. While it was embraced with open arms by many for its sleek looks, others had been suspicious because of privacy concerns as Timeline seemed to be making public a lot of things they wouldn’t want to be public.
Given the immense expansion of the tech population, it is only inevitable that some security loopholes will go unnoticed for years. Same is the case with a number of exploits in Microsoft’s Office for Mac. Researchers at Microsoft have found out these flaws only now when a new malware attempts to exploit them. The flaws are there in the three-year-old version of Office for Mac.
