A very important Facebook security feature you must op-out of

Jasen — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 04:01:00 +0000

This feature by default gives all your Facebook information to your friends applications.

Why in the world would my friends Facebook applications need my Bio, My videos, Birthday, My links, Interested in and looking for, Photos and videos I'm tagged in, Religious and political views, Hometown, My website, Current city, If I'm online, Education and work, My photos, Places I check in to?

This is absolutely insane, when you play Farmville or Mafia Wars you are actually giving away all your friends personal information(thanks a lot friend). Then these applications can do whatever they want with it, cause you allowed them to, I mean you didn't not allow them to

So to opt-out of this ridiculous privacy infringement, goto Account > Privacy Settings > Info accessible through your friends, and uncheck everything!

Ubuntu Parallax New Full Screen Interaction

HP Releases the Palm Pre 2 with WebOS 2.0

Jasen — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 01:17:22 +0000

When it comes to webOS 2.0 (now actually called HP webOS), it almost felt like we'd never see the version number, let alone get to review it. It's been an intense few months for Palm: after floundering in the early part of the smartphone wars, it was scooped up by HP for a tidy sum of $1.2b. Though it seemed like the dream of webOS could fade away, the company made it clear that it had plans to not only continue the work Palm had done in the mobile world, but extend what the tiny company had created to other platforms as well (tablets, and yes, printers). We've heard a lot of talk from both parties since the acquisition, but have seen little in the way of proof that progress was indeed being made -- but that's all changed today. Palm has officially released its second generation OS into the wild, along with a new, beefed up version of the Pre (at least in France -- North American handsets are coming soon). The company offered us an early developer phone to test out the new OS and see if the combination of tightened code and a significantly faster device (the Pre 2 clocks in with a 1GHz CPU) could make a difference between last place and a fighting chance.

Bing and Facebook New Search Feature

Jasen — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 17:05:21 +0000

The Most popular Social Networking site "Facebook" and Micro$oft's Search engine "Bing" have teamed up, recently revealing new search features. Micro$oft is adding "input from users" feature, using Facebook data in the results of a search, giving an idea of what your facebook friends think on a particular topic. Both companies stress privacy is a priority, but the advertising opportunities will be tempting

Although I have not seen this feature in action, It sounds to be much like the "Social Circle" feature in Google + Buzz

Mageia A New Linux Distribution

Jasen — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 02:15:15 +0000

As you may have heard, the future of the Mandriva Linux distribution is
unclear.

Most employees working on the distribution were laid off when Edge-IT was
liquidated. We do not trust the plans of Mandriva SA anymore and we don't
think the company (or any company) is a safe host for such a project.

Many things have happened in the past 12 years. Some were very nice: the
Mandriva Linux community is quite large, motivated and experienced, the
distribution remains one of the most popular and an award-winning product,
easy to use and innovative. Some other events did have some really bad
consequences that made people not so confident in the viability of their
favourite distribution.

People working on it just do not want to be dependent on the economic
fluctuations and erratic, unexplained strategic moves of the company.
Forking Mandriva Linux? Yes.

Forking an existing open source project is never an easy decision to make,
and forking Mandriva Linux is a huge task.

It was not an impulsive decision. We all spoke a lot before: former
employees, Cooker contributors and users' communities. We collected opinions
and reactions in the past weeks as we needed to get some kind of global
agreement and to gather, before going ahead.

We believe a fork is the best solution and we have decided to create a new
distribution: Mageia .

Escher-like internet map could speed online traffic

Jasen — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 21:11:06 +0000

A novel map of the internet created by Marián Boguñá and colleagues at the University of Barcelona, Spain, could help make network glitches a thing of the past.

Boguñá squeezed the entire network into a disc using hyperbolic geometry, more familiar to us through the circular mosaic-like artworks of M. C. Escher.

Each square on the map is an "autonomous system" – a section of the network managed by a single body such as a national government or a service provider. The most well-connected systems are close to the centre, while the least connected are at the edges. The area of the hyperbolic plane grows exponentially with distance from the centre, so the edges of the map are "roomier" than the middle.

Like all good cartographers, Boguñá's team hopes their map will help speed up navigation. At present each system routes traffic by referring to a table of all available network paths, but keeping this up to date is difficult as new paths keep coming on stream while others shut down.

The PlayStation 3 powered super-computer

Jasen — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 13:05:27 +0000

Gaurav Khanna combined games consoles to make a super-computer capable of serious number-crunching

Playing the PlayStation and getting your homework done are not usually activities which go hand-in-hand, but one university professor may have cracked it.

Dr Gaurav Khanna has no less than 16 Sony PlayStation 3 consoles working together to create a super-computer which he says rivals the power of more than 200 conventional PCs.

But Dr Khanna is no hardcore gamer. Instead, the University of Massachusetts professor is using the entertainment machines for highly complex calculations.

His research is attempting to go back 13 billion years to learn about the origins of the Big Bang, as well as looking at the black holes that exist in space today.

He explained to Digital Planet just how he manages to harness the consoles to carry out the work.

"The PlayStation comes loaded with GameOS - which is what you use to navigate through to look at pictures and movies and to launch games. But it also has the option, if you dig into the settings, to install [an] alternative operating system."

Google explains technology behind Instant search

Jasen — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 16:40:58 +0000

How to handle five to seven times more results pages per query

The system provides a live feed of search suggestions as the user types, and has already won widespread favor.

"Our key design challenge was to make sure people would notice relevant results without being distracted," said Ben Gomes, a distinguished engineer Google, in a blog post. "We knew it would take extensive testing to find the right design, so we ran through a sequence of prototypes, usability studies (testing with people from the community), 'dogfooding' (testing with Google employees) and search experiments (testing with a small percentage of Google users)."

Initial trials revealed some problems, Gomes explained, such as the results appearing too slowly or in too complex a form, but these were overcome after continued user experiments.

The new feature raised some infrastructure challenges, however, and Google decided to create a technical solution rather than invest in more server capacity.

"When we came to the infrastructure team and said that we are going to be serving five to seven times as many results pages for each query performed in Google Instant, first they threw a fit, then they figured out how to get us there," said Gomes.

The solution involved a range of technical measures, including new caches that can cope with high refresh rates, and an optimised page-rendering JavaScript code designed to let the browser keep pace with the system.

Google expects to keep innovating with Instant search. "While it is a big change, I believe that we'll look back and wonder how search was ever any other way," said Gomes.

Google Instant shows search results as you type

Jasen — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 03:51:13 +0000

(CNN) -- Tired of waiting the tenths of a second it takes to get Google search results?
Google promises it'll get faster.
The search giant on Wednesday introduced Google Instant, which will give users suggested results before they're even done typing.
"It's not quite psychic, but it is very clever," said Othar Hansson, a senior software engineer at Google.

Using the new system, as a query is typed, the search box immediately jumps to the top of the search page, and a constantly changing list of suggested pages appears. If the user finds the right site, they don't need to finish typing or hit "enter."

Will WebOS 2.0 let HP compete with Apple?

Jasen — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 02:43:39 +0000

The next generation of WebOS will make or break HP’s attempt to slide in among RIM, Apple and Google in the mobile arena.

Last week was an Apple launch week, and short of the launch of World War III, there were likely few things that could pull much interest away from this event. Still, HP chose the week to launch WebOS 2.0 in advance of what will is expected to be a line of products that will actually dent Apple’s dominance in the tablet and smartphone space. But hasn’t that boat already sailed, you ask? Can anyone really slow down Apple? And if someone was going to do it, wouldn’t it more likely be a vastly more consumer-oriented company like Sony or Panasonic, than a firm that started out making calculators and test equipment?

Ah, but you forget that HP was the only company to have ever actually scared Apple in the MP3 player space, so much so that Steve Jobs offered HP the opportunity to clone the iPod in order to kill HP’s effort. That scam worked beautifully, but HP is still pissed, and WebOS 2.0 along with its upcoming tablets from HP are Palo Alto’s chance for revenge. That’s high drama, and makes this battle worth watching.

Where the Apple platform is weak

Apple leads with a strong media core, and the company is likely to remain that way when it comes to media. However it fumbles with two things: partnering, and integration with third-party products. This has made the iPhone kind of a joke, because it sucks at being a phone, and with PDA functionality, at least when it comes to connecting to non-Apple e-mail and calendaring services. HP is actually rather good at both partnering and integration It has to be, as the leader in PCs and servers, and HP teams have to work closely with companies like VMware and Microsoft in order to complete their solutions.

This means that HP won’t be as religious about going to war with Adobe and Flash, it will better integrate withMicrosoft Exchange and it will work more closely with more carriers. That means HP may even be better with Apple’s core partner, AT&T, but certainly will emerge rapidly on Verizon and Sprint possibly T-Mobile

Facebook closes hole that let spammers auto-post to walls, friends

Jasen — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:34:56 +0000

Facebook has closed a hole that was being used by spammers to automatically post wall messages and direct messages to friends, the company said on Tuesday.

Just clicking on the link to one of the applications that were taking advantage of the bug would allow the auto-posting to happen, Facebook said The apps, which appeared to be sending people to a survey Web site, were disabled on Monday, the company said.

"Earlier this week, we discovered a bug that made it possible for an application to bypass our normal CSRF (cross-site request forgery) protections through a complicated series of steps. We quickly worked to resolve the issue and fixed it within hours of discovering it," Facebook said in a statement. "For a short period of time before it was fixed, several applications that violated our policies were able to post content to people's profiles if those people first clicked on a link to the application."

Facebook users should be wary of suspicious-looking links, even if they come from friends.

AllFacebook called it "one of the fastest spreading scams we've seen on Facebook to date, and also one of the largest security glitches in the Facebook platform."

The scam comes just days after Facebook fixed a similar bug in its photo-uploading process that allowed a spammer to post photos to people's profiles that had not been approved.

The Top 7 Best Linux Distributions for You

Jasen — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:47:50 +0000

There are various approaches to answering this question. The broad answer is: "any of them," but that's not very helpful if you're just looking for a place to start.

The problem is, there never can be one best Linux distribution for everyone, because the needs of each user tend to be unique. Telling someone who's looking for a good introductory distribution to try Gentoo, for instance, would be a mistake because for all its positive qualities, Gentoo is decidedly not a beginner's distro.

All too often, Linux aficionados will tend to list the distributions they like as the best, which is fair, but if they are not aware of their audience, they could suggest something that does not meet that person's needs. Finding a good Linux distribution is like finding a good match in an online dating service: good looks aren't the only quality upon which to judge a Linux distro.

To help users discover the Linux distribution that's best for them, this resource will definitively list the best candidates for the various types of Linux users to try. The use-case categories will be:

Best Desktop Distribution
Best Laptop Distribution
Best Enterprise Desktop
Best Enterprise Server
Best LiveCD
Best Security-Enhanced Distribution
Best Multimedia Distribution

Once you find the best Linux distribution for your needs, you can visit our Linux Migration Guides to assist you in installing and using the one you'd like to try.

Best Linux Desktop Distribution

There are a lot of Linux distributions that have the primary focus of becoming the next best desktop replacement for Windows or OS X. Of all the categories in this list, this is the most sought-after, and contentious, group of distros.

While it would be ideal to include many distributions on this list, the reality is that there really needs to be just one "best" Linux distribution. For early 2010, that distro has to be Canonical's Ubuntu.

to give every Indian a lifelong Unique ID (UID) number

Jasen — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:02:15 +0000

This month, officials from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), armed with fingerprinting machines, iris scanners and cameras hooked to laptops, will fan out across the towns and villages of southern Andhra Pradesh state in the first phase of the project whose aim is to give every Indian a lifelong Unique ID (UID) number for 'anytime, anywhere' biometric authentication. While enrolling with the UIDAI may be voluntary, other agencies and service providers might require a UID number in order to transact business. Usha Ramanathan, a prominent legal expert who is attached to the Center for the Study of Developing Societies in the national capital, said that, 'taken to its logical limit, the UID project will make it impossible, in a couple of years, for an ordinary citizen to undertake a simple task such as traveling within the country without a UID number.' Next step, tying that UID number and biometric information to to their RIM BlackBerry PIN number."

Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit corporation formed to educate about and advocate for the benefits of open source and to build bridges among different constituencies in the open-source community.

One of our most important activities is as a standards body, maintaining the Open Source Definition for the good of the community.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Jasen — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:22:29 +0000

Over the last few years I have been blown away by Ubuntu and it's progression, I am happy to say I have not booted into my windows os's in over 2 years, but I get plenty of practice fixing Windows for clients.

Ubutuntu 10.04 has some real ground breaking features this go around, with new out-of-box support for most wireless cards, Nvidia graphics cards, and all the mobile broadband cards I could throw at it, including sprint, cricket, also my palm-pre as a usb network device. but one of the best features is under 10 second boot time (for moderately new pc). plus out-of-box support for ipod iphone ipad. Plus loads of eye candy, with newly bundled compiz.

If you have ever been interested in what open source is about, and have tried Linux or Ubuntu in the past, but were not ready to commit, now is the time. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is rock solid even in the beta2 stage.

here is a video of Ubuntu 10.04 beta2 booting in about 20 seconds

Open Source is not just a software methodology to me, I believe that open source and community developed software will make the world a better place. By taking the price tag off information & knowledge, we can truly move forward.

It is like this, major car manufacturers bought the patten on hydrogen powered cars 20 years ago, and we are still using gas. If these super corporations didn't dominate the industry, we could truly move forward. The same goes with Microsoft, while Mac has a different approach they use 90% open source for there operating system, then add 10% proprietary, then charge an arm and a leg for what the Open Source Community mostly created.

Use Open Source and the planet will be a better place, share knowledge and we can all grow
