Social 
How many times have you accessed your facebook account from a public internet library , or an internet cafe and forgot to log out before you left? Such an incident can really lend you into trouble and you can ever get your account hacked. So is there any solution?
Well facebook seems to have found one. A new security feature from facebook allows you to log out of any facebook session that you may have left active on another computer or any other device. Now you can see if you are logged in on any other device from any where and immediately log out from them with one central control on your account.
You can have information about all the active sessions which includes login time, the device name, the location from where your account is accessed and even the operating system and browser used for access. Very helpful to track someone accessing your account without you being aware off

Social The most recent headache that many of the facebook users have to bear is that they are unable to forward their friend requests. Quiet a few accounts have also been disabled by facebook. All this is a result of facebook’s sudden realization that they too have a privacy policy which they have to make sure is followed.
What Are The Reasons:
There are two most obvious reasons as to why facebook has banned you from sending any further friend request or even accepting them in some cases. First one is that you might be adding friends virally. Too many friend requests sent in a quick succession is against facebook rules.
Secondly there is a chance that you might have send too many friend requests without the other person responding back. Adding more friends over already plenty of pending friend request is not allowed by facebook.

Misc. Geek-ism, a subculture which got pwnage and Uberness at its core. Most non-geeky person try to thumb them down by defining them as social boy-cotters, who have no offline life, and are wasting there life coding or loling. Geeks/Koders on the other side, does not give a sh*t to those people (include HTML gurus in those as well, see last of the image below 
) and remain in their contagious feeling of 1337ness and being superior. This programmer hierarchy describes what in general Programmers feel themselves superior to.
PS: Whatever, I didn’t expected that much inferiority from Java guys, or the maker is a .NET chap maybe….

Web There are two type of things very famous and trendy on the Internet. The former are popular websites such as Youtube, 4Chan, Red… ahem etc etc. The second are silly pics of cats, dogs and other pets/animals etc. And one good guy at College Humor combined the effects of both, resulting in the shots below. The next thing maybe is, ‘how animals are painted as popular websites’. I guess the last one would be for an Ostracod!

Web 
For anyone new in web designing and html lingo, the most dare some thing is to remember all the tags and what particular thing they do, in short. The case is same with anyone new to the world of chemistry, elements and their periodic table, sometimes remembering many of them becomes a pain in the neck.
Elements of both type, are difficult yet crucial to memorize, to do something better with the subject. For chemistry elements periodic table, please head over to somewhere else, but for the other one, here it is, Josh Duck’s periodic table of HTML5 Elements.
Ok its HTML, but why particularly HTML 5. The answer is because it is the future of web development. Ever seen audio, video, keygen, canvas tags? They all are included in HTML 5, so for example, videos can now be tagged and included natively in any html document, without the use of embed/object tags and a half page of script etc.
Click on any tag, and a tooltip will appear, describing what the tag is all about in short, and gives a link for any detail guide if available from W3Schools and W3C Developer’s Guide. So never miss again any tag, use all of them effectively, wet your hands with HTML5, and be a true web ninja!
