New Apps Analyzation For Malicious Behavior Have Discovered

2014-03-07T20:07:00.001-08:00

In July 2013 the Russian software company "Doctor Web" discovered malicious apps in the app store "Google Play".Doctor Web, comes with its own terms and conditions, informed Google, the apps were still available for download for several days.Doctor Web estimates that in this way approximately 25,000 smartphones were used in order to cheat and make money illegally.

Computer scientists have made software which helps to discover malicious apps in the app store, from the German Saarland University.This software notice where the app gains sensitive data and where data is going from the smartphones and if software finds any link between source and sink then it gives information about suspect behavior or reports about that.

"Your address book is read, hundreds of instructions later and without your permission an SMS is sent or a website is visited", said Erik Derr.

The computer scientists from Saarbrucken use new technique to recognize a link between source and sink and give suspicious combinations as input.
Erik Derr said, "So far we have tested up to 3000 apps with it. The software analyzes them fast enough that the approach can also be used in practice."

4 To 6 Years Old Nursery Kids Can Solve Algebra

2014-03-06T21:35:00.000-08:00

Solving algebraic equations is not so much easy for every student, but most nursery kids and kindergarteners can solve algebraic questions before becoming a part of maths class.

Recently published study in the journal Developmental Science, reseachers find that most nursery students and kindergarteners, children between four and six, can solve basic algebra and study lead by author and post-doctoral fellow Melissa Kibbe and Lisa Feigenson, associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Johns Hopkins University's Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.

Post-doctoral fellow Melissa Kibbe said, "these are very young children, some of whom are just learning to count, and few of whom have even gone to school yet, are solving basic algebra with little effort." "They do it by using their "Approximate Number System" their inborn sense of quantity and number."

The "Approximate Number System" is also known as "number sense" and helps humans and animals to size up the quantity of objects.

In the study, children sat one by one with an examiner who told them about the two characters, each of whom had a cup filled with an unknown quantity of items.They saw the pile before it was added to, and after, so they had to decide how many objects Gator's cup and Cheetah's cup kept.

At the end, the examiner mixed up the cups, and asked the children select whose cup it was.Mostly the children knew whose cup it was.Director of Johns Hopkins Laboratory for Child Development, Feigenson said , "What was in the cup was the x and y variable, and children nailed it." "Gator's cup was the x variable and Cheetah's cup had y variable. We found that young children are very good at this. It appears that they are harnessing their gut level number sense to solve this task."

Algebra is difficult for teenagers because "One possibility is that formal algebra relies on memorized rules and symbols that seem to trip many people up," Feigenson said.The ANS helps in solving basic algebra and are needed to master the complex algebra problems that are taught later in the school age years.The study find that an ANS ability does not follow gender boys versus girls, both have equal proportions in solving algebra.Feigenson said, "we see no evidence for gender differences in our work on basic number sense."

Feigenson said, "We find links at all ages between the precision of people's Approximate Number System and their formal math ability." "But this does not necessarily mean that children with poorer precision grow up to be bad at math. For example,children with poorer number sense may need to rely on other strategies, besides their gut sense of number, to solve math problems. But this is an area where much future research is needed."

"Tribo-Electric" Which Converts Movement Into Power,Human Movement as well

2014-03-04T21:16:00.000-08:00

Researchers had built a prototype device which changes movement into power, at the Georgia Institute of Technology.Scientists in the United States said Tuesday it lies within reach, thanks to a smart way to harvest energy called tribo-electricity.

A professor of materials science and engineering, Zhong Lin Wang described the invention a "breakthrough." He told AFP by email, "Our technology can be used for large-scale energy harvesting, so that the energy we have wasted for centuries will be useful."

"Tribo-electric" is a modern device with previous rules from the Greek word for "rub."The device generates electricity from friction between two things that cause a charge of electrons travel from one to the other like walking on nylon carpet with plastic-soled shoes.The device has ability to generates 1.5 watts.

In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Wang's team said they had overcome key hurdles to converting a haphazardly-generated electrical charge into current.

There are two circular sheets, an electron "donor" and the other an electron "receiver" moved together by rotary movement.An electrical charge isolate would use if the sheets are separated.It has one more disc with electrodes, work as a bridges the gap and allows the current to flow at a top speed of 3,000 revolutions per minute.

Wang said, "It can run on a gentle wind or tap water, or "random jerky motions," including human movement, to provide the rotation.""As long as there is mechanical action, there is power that can be generated."

Wang also said, "the prototype used copper for the rotator and gold for the electrodes in lab tests, but these could easily be substituted for low-cost synthetics."

The team of researchers is still working to harvest power from the ocean.

By 3D Printer Teen Develops Robohand for Boy(Video)

2014-03-02T20:21:00.001-08:00

Mason Wilde is interested in 3-D printers and made a hand for a 9-year-old family friend. Matthew was born with only a thumb on his right hand, but a 3-D printer solves this problem.

Mason Wilde, a 16-year-old Louisburg High School junior, loaded blueprints from "Robohand" onto computers and using their 3-D printer at Johnson County Public Library made a prosthetic hand that is driven by the motion of the wrist.The hand opens if the wrist move up and the fingers close if move down.Mason Wilde wants eight hours to build this Robohand with the 3-D printer.

Jennifer said, “Every day, kids were asking him, ‘What happened to your hand, what happened to your hand,’ and I noticed it was wrecking his spirit,”. “Social stigma was starting to creep in on him.”

Matthew's mother discovered a Robohand on the internet but it is so expensive approximately $18,000, his mother cannot afford this hand.Mason Wilde made some changes to the hand developing the structures of the mechanism.

"When it is all done, to be able to say you gave a kid a hand, gave a kid the ability to grasp something and let him high five or hand shake, it is a pretty amazing feeling," Mason Wilde said.

"I actually have fingers. I didn't know what that felt like until now," Matthew said.

Matthew said, “I call it my toy tool, It is the future.”

"It has been a huge blessing. It has changed the conversation from, 'what happened to your hand?' to, 'oh my gosh! That is so cool.' That is huge when you are 9 and when you're a little bit different," Matthew's mom said.

Mason Wilde is looking into a career in the biomedical field and has inspired to start a non-profit to make prosthetics from 3-D printers for other children.

Google Launches the Google Maps Gallery

2014-02-28T21:53:00.000-08:00

Google has launched the Google Maps Gallery, which enables organizations to share and publish their data on a map to discovered by people using Google Maps, Google Earth and search engines.In other words the Google Maps Gallery helps to “unlock the world’s maps”.Maps Gallery works like an interactive, digital atlas where you can find historic city plans, climate trends, deforestation changes and up-to-date evacuation routes.

Google Maps product manager Jordan Breckenridge said, "As the Gallery grows, it'll be easier to find out where we've been, where we are, and where we're going, giving us a new way to look at the world around us."

The Google Maps Gallery includes several maps, they are National Geographic Society,World Bank Group, United States Geological Survey, Florida Emergency Management agency, and City of Edmonton and many more.

With the Google Maps Gallery, governments, nonprofits and businesses can publish maps and manage their content with personal sitting that enable control over maps branding, styling and licensing.Organizations can apply to submit their request to join the Map Gallery.The gallery can browse at: http://maps.google.com/gallery/.

Fastest Car in the World (Video)

2014-02-27T00:51:00.001-08:00

The American sports car unofficially gained the title of world's fastest production car, it's Hennessey Venom GT car has set the new record fastest car in the world with reaching a top speed of 270.49 mph (436 km/h) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.The Venom GT has powered by a 7.0-litre twin-turbo, V8 engine with a horsepower of 1,244 bhp, gain a top speed of 270.49 mph and this Venom GT costs $1.2 million a car.

“The Venom GT reached a maximum speed of 270.49 mph as measured by the world-renowned maker of VBOX 3i GPS data-acquisition systems,” said Racelogic engineer Joe Lachovsky.

The Guinness Book of World Records has not certified the Venom GT as “the fastest production car.”For the new record to stand, it has to be ratified by Guinness. So, the car needs to complete two runs in two directions with the average speed to break previous record.The Venom completed one run because NASA allowed to use its 3.2-mile space shuttle landing runway for only one run to complete.The world record is currently held by the Bugatti Veyron which reached top speed of 435 km/h in 2010

Driver Brian Smith said, "It was still pulling. "If we could run on an eight-mile (12.8km) oval, we could go faster than that."
“Thankfully, its Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes were able to haul the car down from 270 mph well before the end of the runway’s 1,000-foot threshold,” the Hennessey team said.

Finger Ring Reads Books Aloud (Video)

2014-02-24T19:19:00.004-08:00

The FingerReader developed by the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab.The FingerReader is a Braille scanners for the visually impaired people.It is a finger-mounted computer to help visually impaired people that reads text aloud, in other words it scans printed text and reads it aloud.

It works basically as a fingertip moves along lines, a camera in the ring records and analyzes the words, and are then said in a robotic voice.The FingerReader uses other tech like vibrations are given to the user when reader nears the end of a line and to note where a new line begins and also able to translates other languages.

Reachers Said, "the FingerReader is a wearable device that assists in reading printed text. It is a tool both for visually impaired people that require help with accessing printed text, as well as an aid for language translation. Wearers scan a text line with their finger and receive an audio feedback of the words and a haptic feedback of the layout: start and end of line, new line, and other cues. The FingerReader algorithm knows to detect and give feedback when the user veers away from the baseline of the text, and helps them maintain a straight scanning motion within the line."

Inflatable Jungle Gym Gives New Experience

2014-02-22T20:48:00.001-08:00

It is designed by Croatian-Austrian collective Numen/For Use, "string prototype" is a inflatable jungle gym made up of a grid of cables which are able to carry human weight.It is located near the Viennese countryside. The designer group that build "String jungle gym" is known for its large-scale interactive environments and made an inflatable building with a network of cables known as large geomatric inflatable object installation.

It works on the same pattern(principles) or rules like a bounce house.In jungle gym air is filled into the whole things of gym like wires to make the cables strong to climb on.When the body will inflate, the cables will pull and tight into a structure and able to support human body weight.

"Bodies entrapped in 3D grid, fly in unnatural positions throughout superficial white space, resemble Dadaist collages.Impossibility of perception of scale and direction results in simultaneous feeling of immenseness and absence of space." said designers who are working on the project.

A New Laser Makes Optical-Fiber Network 20 Times Faster

2014-02-20T22:53:00.002-08:00

A team of researcher at Caltech has developed a new laser which has enough potential to increase the rate of data transmission in the optical-fiber network and replace the 40 years old fiber optic communications system.The study was published the week of February 10–14 in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Light is capable of carrying vast amounts of information, approximately 10,000 times more bandwidth than microwaves.This new laser is noticeable due to its high spectral purity, spectral purity means close to operates on a single frequency.The closer (narrower) the tone, the more information laser light can carry and allows data to travel with the faster speed, so it is called faster internet.

Nowadays worldwide's optical-fiber network is known as the distributed-feedback semiconductor (S-DFB) laser.This distributed-feedback semiconductor (S-DFB) technology developed in the mid 1970s in Yariv's research group.The S-DFB laser manages to attain such spectral purity by using a nanoscale corrugation within the laser's structure that acts like a internal filter, discriminating against spurious "noisy" waves that effecting or making bad the ideal wave frequency.

The old S-DFB laser consists of continuous crystalline layers of materials called III-V semiconductors which absorb light causing a damage of spectral purity.The new laser technology still using the III-V material which stores the light in a layer of silicon, silicon does not absorb light.This new high spectral purity allows the laser to achieve range of frequencies Which is 20 times narrower the S-DFB laser.

Yariv and his team trying hard to improve laser technology and believe that the new laser will certainly improve the optical-fiber networking system.

US Navy Ready To Deploy Laser For First Time This Year 2014

2014-02-18T20:50:00.000-08:00

The U.S. Navy wants to deploy its first laser on a ship later this year and it plans to test an electromagnetic rail gun prototype aboard a vessel within two years.Lasers which designed to shoot down aerial drones and electric guns that fire projectiles at hypersonic speeds like "Star Wars" movie series .

Program manager for directed energy and electric weapon systems for the Naval Sea Systems Command, Capt. Mike Ziv said "It fundamentally changes the way we fight,"

The solid-state Laser Weapon System is designed to hit out "asymmetrical threats," such as aerial drones, speed boats and swarm boats etc.

The Navy also plans to test a newly designed electromagnetic rail gun prototype aboard a ship within two years.

Rail guns which have a ability to fire a projectile at six or seven times the speed of sound and cause damage.

Defense analyst at the Lexington Institute, Loren Thompson said "Lasers may lose their targets if it's raining, dusty, or if there's turbulence in the atmosphere, and the rail gun requires vast amount of electricity to launch the projectile."

The Navy's new destroyer, the Zumwalt, is the only ship which has enough electric power to run a rail gun and its gas turbine-powered generators can produce 78 megawatts of power.

The laser beam is invisible to the human eye and operates on 30 kilowatts of electricity."You see the effect on what you are targeting but you don't see the actual beam," Ziv said.

Wanxiang Has Won a Fisker Bankruptcy Auction With $149 Million Bid

2014-02-16T20:59:00.002-08:00

Wanxiang Group, China's auto parts maker group, has won a bankruptcy auction for the assets of Fisker Automotive with a bid of more than $149 million.
Wanxiang beat out Hybrid Technology, led by Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li, with a bid of $149.2 million in cash, including Fisker's plant in Wilmington, Delaware.

People who participated in the auction said that Wanxiang's bid, which includes more than $100 million in cash, beat out Hybrid Technology.The auction, which began on Wednesday and ended on Friday, Hybrid had offered $30 million in cash and cancellation of $25 million in debt it says it is owed as Fisker's senior secured lender.

Wanxiang had offered $35.7 million in cash and an equity stake for creditors in a reorganized Fisker, with the possibility of additional recoveries for creditors through lawsuits.

Hybrid statement:-

"After actively bidding in the auction, Hybrid has elected to retain its rights as a lender rather than continue to bid for ownership of Fisker.

Hybrid acquired the Department of Energy’s secured loan of US$168 million in November 2013, and is the senior secured creditor of Fisker. After repayment of its debtor-in-possession financing and certain other costs incurred as part of the bankruptcy proceedings, Hybrid is entitled to be repaid ahead of the unsecured creditors on account of its security and, in relation to any assets that are ultimately determined to be unencumbered, will share in those assets together with all other creditors.

Hybrid will consider taking all necessary steps and appropriate measures to protect its interests in this matter, and remains committed to exploring other long term investment opportunities in the United States."

Million year Old Footprints Have discovered In Britain

2014-02-13T00:27:00.001-08:00

Scientists have discovered human footprints in England that are at least 800,000 years old.These footprints have been discovered when heavy seas washed sand off a beach in Happisburgh, Norfolk.

The footprints were discovered by a team of the British Museum, the Natural History Museum and Queen Mary University of London.

British Museum archaeologist Dr. Nick Ashton said published in the journal PLOS ONE "a tangible link to our earliest human relatives."

There are five different types of footprints.The footprints indicating adults, males and children walked through the beach.They are the earliest evidence of human ancestors and belong to first ever Britains.

The scientists and researchers believe the human who left the prints may have been related to ancestor known as Homo antecessor, or "Pioneer Man".

Natural History Museum archaeologist Chris Stringer said that 800,000 or 900,000 years ago Britain was "the edge of the inhabited world."

There are three sites in the world where older footprints found, 3.5 million years old in Tanzania and 1.5 million years old in Kenya, which are in Africa.

Isabelle De Groote, a specialist in ancient human remains at Liverpool John Moores University who worked on the find, said that "These individuals traveling together, may be that they were somehow related," and also said about the pattern of the prints.

The footprint will be a part of an exhibition, "Britain: One Million Years of the Human Story," open at the Natural History Museum on 13 February.

Male Fruit Flies Have Special Cells That Promote Fighting

2014-02-11T00:00:00.001-08:00

According to biologist David Anderson "the brains of male fruit flies contain special cells that promote fighting" from the fly laboratory of California Institute of Technology.These fruit flies Known as Drosophilae.

Researchers says that the male flies have specific cells in their brains that promote fighting and that specific cells are not present in the brains of female fruit flies.

According to David Anderson, he says "The sex-specific cells that we identified exert their effects on fighting by releasing a particular type of neuropeptide, or hormone, that has also been implicated in aggression in mammals including mouse and rat.""In addition, there are some recent papers implicating increased levels of this hormone in people with personality disorders that lead to higher levels of aggression."

Fruit fly's genes play similar roles like to those of a human being.Researchers are not sure about these genes control behaviors like aggression.Anderson says. "Our study validates using fruit flies as a model to discover new genes that may also control aggression in humans."

A neuropeptide produced by neurons called tachykinin, or Tk, linked to aggression.By controling neuropeptide produced by neurons, scientists were able to make flies less or more angry.

Google Doodle And Quote Against Anti-gay Law And Propaganda

2014-02-07T21:36:00.001-08:00

Pneumonia Symptoms, Types , Causes And More

2014-02-02T23:11:00.000-08:00

Pneumonia is a lung infection that can make you very ill.In Pneumonia lungs tissue can fill with pus and patient feel difficulty breathing. Bacteria or viruses usually cause pneumonia.Things can cause pneumonia are viruses, fungi, chemicals, other infectious agents.

Pneumonia is caused by viruses are the influenza virus (flu) and adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).The disease has multiple symptoms like cough,fever, and have a hard time breathing.

There are several types of Pneumonia like Pneumonia get at school and office called community associated pneumonia, get in a hospital called healthcare associated pneumonia.

Double pneumonia means that the infection is in both lungs.Walking pneumonia means that is mild case and is a less serious, also called atypical pneumonia and is often caused by a tiny microorganism, Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Pneumonia starts when we breathe the air that contain viruses into our lungs.Bacterial pneumonia can sometimes start after a bad cold or flu because flu and cold make it difficult for lungs to fight against infection.Both infections cause by viruses and bacteria are same symptoms.

Symptoms:-

Fever.

chest pain.

sore throat.

Coughing that produces pus or mucus.

Difficulty breathing.

vomiting and dehydration.

Feeling tired and weak.

Headache.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), you can stay away from pneumonia with proper vaccinations and antibiotics to help prevent pneumonia.

NSA Using Leaky Apps Like "Angry Birds" To Get Personal Data From Smartphones

2014-02-01T00:41:00.001-08:00

Recent documents reveal the NSA and GCHQ is using the apps so-called leaky apps to collect data from smartphones.

According to documents provided by Edward Snowden and published in the New York Times, the Guardian, and ProPublica Monday__ the National Security Agency (NSA) and Britain’s Government Communications Headquarter (GCHQ) have been collecting information and data about a user’s age, address books, gain information from web browsing etc from cell phones.From Angry Birds to apps which are able to share pictures and location like Facebook, Flickr and Twitter as well as Google Maps are called leaky apps and use to collect data.

The New York Times reports:-

Since then, the agencies have traded recipes for grabbing location and planning data when a target uses Google Maps, and for vacuuming up address books, buddy lists, phone logs and the geographic data embedded in photos when someone sends a post to the mobile versions of Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Twitter and other services.

All type of data that has been collected, the spy agency can place together everything like the location of tagging photo, web browsing history and phone call records to put together a picture of where you have been and what you were doing.

The two spy agencies have been collecting data since 2007 and the NSA saw its budget from $204 million to $767 million.

It is not clear that companies know that their apps were being used in this way.Angry Birds creator Rovio has reported that the advertising that come with the free version is handled by a third party company called Millennial Media.

At this time the NSA and GCHQ collection methods are unclear.

The World's Deepest Undersea Immersed Tube Tunnel

2014-01-29T19:18:00.005-08:00

Marmaray is a tube tunnel for rail transport.Marmaray is located in the Turkish city of Istanbul.It is a undersea rail tunnel under the Bosphorus strait, along the Sea of Marmara from the European side to the Asian side.The Marmaray name comes by combining the sea of Marmara with "ray" meaning rail in Turkish.

Construction started in May 2004, and was completed on September 23, 2008. The opening of the Marmaray Rail Tube Tunnel and Commuter Rail Mass Transit System delayed due to the discovery of historical and archaeological finds.It was opened for public first time on October 29, 2013.

A 76.3 kilometre (47.4 mi) high-capacity line between Gebze and Halkalı, is a first standard gauge rail connection between Europe and Asia by crossing the Istanbul Strait.

It is the world's deepest undersea immersed tube tunnel with 60.45 m (198.4 ft), 55 metres below sea level and 4.6 metres of earth.

The above ground suburban lines have been upgraded to three tracks, two for commuter and one for long-distance or high-speed passenger trains.The capacity for the suburban lines is 75,000 passengers per hour and there are 37 aboveground srations and three underground stations.Platforms are 225m long and average station space is 1.9 km.

The stations are base on metro style operations and also work for high speed trains travelling at 100km/h (62mph) with an average speed of 45km/h (28mph).Total number of passenger cars are 440.

Hyundai Rotem announced on November 11, 2008, that it had signed a €580 million agreement to supply the rolling stock for the Marmaray cross-Bosphorus tunnel project in Istanbul.

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the European Investment Bank had provided major financing for the project. As of April 2006, JICA had lent 111 billion yen and EIB 1.05 billion euro. The total cost of the project is expected to be approximately 2.5 billion US dollars and as of late 2009, costs were expected to increase by approximately 500 million US dollars due to the archaeological delays.

The tunnel was opened on October 29, 2013 on the Turkish Republic's 90th anniversary Republic Day.

Human Brain Can Process Images That The Eye Sees In 13 milliseconds, Research

2014-01-25T23:08:00.000-08:00

U.S. researchers discovered that the human brain can process images that the eye sees in just 13 milliseconds.A team of neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was recently published in the journal Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics.

That speed is eight times faster than the 100 milliseconds recorded by previous studies. Researchers asked viewers to look at a specific image, like a "picnic" or "smiling couple", they viewed a series of six or 12 pictures, presented for 13 to 80 milliseconds and viewers successfully identified images.

Mary Potter, an MIT professor of brain and cognitive sciences and senior author of the study said the fact that you can do that at these high speeds indicates to us that what vision does is find concepts.Professor Potter explained in the study a rapid-fire processing may help direct the eyes to their next target.

""The job of the eyes is not only to get the information into the brain, but to allow the brain to think about it rapidly enough to know what you should look at next.So in general we’re calibrating our eyes so they move around just as often as possible consistent with understanding what we’re seeing.""

A team of the researchers explain the process in which information flows from the retina to the brain.When someone look at something, after an image hits the retina, then the retina sends that information such as shape, color and orientation to the brain.

The researchers said, the images were only seen for 13 milliseconds before the next image displayed, the results indicate that part of the brain continues processing the images for longer.

Professr Potter says that in some cases, viewers were not asked about the presence of a particular image until after they had seen the whole sequence.

‘If images were wiped out after 13 milliseconds, people would never be able to respond positively after the sequence. There has to be something in the brain that has maintained that information at least that long,’ Professor Potter said.

The MIT team researchers decided to gradually increase the speed of images until they were no more accurate and they reached a point where subjects’ answers were no better than if they were guessing.

Professor Potter said, this didn’t really fit with common assumptions my colleagues and I have had for what you can see.

As the images were presented progressively faster, better performance may be that they were able to practice fast detection.The subjects received feedback on their performance, allowing them to adapt to this extremely fast presentation.

If An Employer Ask For FB Password, Is It against the Law or Not?

2014-01-20T02:46:00.003-08:00

In many countries employers have been asking for their Facebook account and Password in order to get the job.

Oregon joined 11 other states to stop for asking user account logins from employees, when a law passed begining in May 2013 went into change.

Laws protecting the privacy of your personal online accounts are needed because without them, employers and organizations like colleges and universities, are able to get access or interfare into your personal life.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, in past 2012, six states passed laws to prevent schools and employers from asking way to enter or passwords to social media accounts.In 2013 seven more states joined and passed same laws.

"When an employer asks for access to their social media, it's basically the same as if an employer asked for full access to their house ... poking through their mail, sitting in on conversations at the dinner table," says Dave Maass, a spokesperson for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

ACLU advocacy and policy strategist Allie Bohm says schools frequently monitor the social media accounts of student-athletes.Some schools make law or rules for student to add school coach as a friend to social media accounts, while others make them install software like Varsity Monitor or UDiligence.

Nowadays Social media monitoring has gotten out of control and creating big problem for people to protect their identities.We need to stand up for our rights and demand for privacy and demand to stop employers from asking for Facebook passwords in order to get the job.
