ABG Seret Ibunya ke Meja Hijau demi Facebook

Ternyata Facebook bisa menjadi salah satu penyebab cekcok antara ibu dan anak, yang berujung di persidangan. Seorang remaja ABG belasan tahun baru-baru ini menyeret ibu kandungnya ke meja hijau, hanya gara-gara sang ibu mengintip isi Facebooknya. Seperti dikutip dailymail, Lane, 16 tahun, meminta kepada pengadilan Arkansas agar menghukum ibunya, Denise New, karena 'mengobrak-abrik' akun Facebook-nya. Lane menuduh ibunya tak hanya mengintip jeroan akunnya, melainkan juga memposting komentar-komentar yang bernada memfitnah atas nama dirinya. Bahkan Lane mengklaim ibunya juga lalu mengubah email dan password, sehingga ia tak mendapatkan notifikasi dari Facebook dan tak bisa masuk kembali ke akun Facebook miliknya.

8 Things that Netbook can Learn From iPad

Video is one of the important features for any portable computer. Netbook doesn't handle Video that good. Netbook works pretty well with downloaded video files–but for Flash-based video like YouTube or Hulu, there is an issue for full screen HD. iPad doesn't support Flash. But, Netflix apps are loaded very quickly on iPad and the pic is crystal clear. 2. Netbook is not that portable like iPad. iPad is very thin and weighs half of the 10″ Netbook. The power adapter of Netbook looks awkward, but, the power chord of iPad is just like smartphone. 3. You can turn your iPad ON instantaneously without rebooting. But, Netbook has boot time similar to Laptops. 4. Netbooks can't play most of the games. The 3D engine on an iPhone plays games better than most Netbooks, but the gaming experience gets better with ipad. Apple's App Store makes sure that all games are compatible.

Agustina, salah seorang pengguna Facebook di Gorontalo, Jumat, mengatakan mengaku cukup terkejut dengan informasi tersebut. "Jangan unggah foto keluarga, anak-anak anda , atau foto lainnya yang punya nilai kenangan. Jangan unggah sesuatu yang punya nilai hak cipta milik anda. Misalnya ada yang mengarang buku lalu di publikasikan di Facebook. Facebook berhak menjual buku anda! Itu sama saja dengan anda menyatakan bahwa itu milik Facebook!," demikian Agustina menirukan isi informasi yang beredar pada sejumlah milis yang d...
