Facebook has put a full stop to its "Lighter Cousin" a.k.a Facebook Lite. Facebook Lite, launched in September 2009 in India and United States was aimed at the users, who prefer to use only basic features of the main site, instead of the clutter one. Facebook Lite used to serve the users with the most trivial social networking features of Facebook, such as accepting friends' requests, updating profile status, post photos and videos, writing on friends' wall etc. With its simpler interface, the slimmed-down site was gradually gaining popularity among the users, only when the Facebook admin has decided its fate. The company has not offered any proper reason behind shutting down Lite. Facebook stated that, We're no longer supporting it, but learned a lot from the test of a slimmed-down site. If you used Lite, you'll now be taken to the main Facebook.com site.

Facebook Privacy issues never seem to end. Did you ever care to know Facebook's new policy will allow Facebook apps to access your personal data. Even the quizzes you take might store your preferences. With the new changes Facebook apps will no longer connect to Facebook servers, but data required for the apps will already be available. According to Joey Tyson's blog's, the changes makes Facebook highly vulnerable to the attackers. He adds that opportunities for behavioral targeting and visitor tracking are increased since developers can now maintain complete archives of profile information. Another significant evidence is provided by ACLU, which launched awareness campaign surrounding the privacy issues of Facebook applications. ACLU reads, Even if your Facebook profile is private, when you take a quiz, an unknown quiz developer could be accessing almost everything in your profile: your religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, pictures, and groups.

It appears the saga of the lost (or stolen) iPhone prototype is drawing to a close. Tech blog Gizmodo, which paid $5000 for an unreleased, next-gen iPhone and then posted a detailed preview of the handset, now reports it has returned the device to Apple. Since Cupertino's legal sharks requested in writing that Gizmodo return the iPhone, there's little doubt the handset is the real deal. The result? Well, the world won't top spinning, but Apple may decide to make Gizmodo's life miserable with some sort of nasty legal action. Perhaps more importantly for Apple, the big reveal may curtail the media hype that will accompany the new iPhone's summer launch. In fact, the next-gen iPhone has already lost much of its mystery, if not its allure. Thanks to Gizmodo's scoop--ethically questionable or not--we already know what the new iPhone will look like, even though many of its finer attributes remain unknown.

Have you noticed the new " like " button , tucked in the " Comment " and " Share " options?  For any Facebook users, "like" button is just another feature that they find in Twitter and Digg, which allows them to share content with their social networks .

Bebo's parent company, AOL, has said it will sell or shut the website. Photograph: Linda Nylind Bebo UK plunged into the red last year as post-tax profits fell 143% year on year in the 12 months to the end of May 2009, a performance that led its parent, AOL , to decide to sell or shut the struggling social networking website.

Last week's announcement by Apple that the UK launch of the iPad will be delayed by a month was the headline news for consumers, but for geeks a more significant development came on Thursday with some changes in the 21,000-word "agreement" that you have to sign if you are going to develop applications for Apple's iDevices. Section 3.3.1 of the document stipulates that "Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++ and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the documented APIs (eg, applications that link to documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited)." Incomprehensible, eh? An API is an application programming interface – ie the protocol that programmers must follow if their software is to work with the iDevice. The really interesting clause, though, is the one enclosed in brackets. T...

Can Facebook get any bigger? The F8 developer event on Wednesday will reveal a Facebook 'like' button that will expand the existing sharing options between Facebook and the rest of the web, reports the New York Times . The existing share button will add a favourite link to a user's profile, but the new 'like' feature makes that much more substantial, allowing publishers to offer a wider range of social sharing tools and giving Facebook more data and what is being shared and who by. Photo by recursion_see_recursion on Flickr. Some rights reserved In return, publishers get access to some of that information to contextualise information on that page - so rather than listing the most read articles on its site, the like feature could show which articles the reader's friends had recommended.

A new type of malware infects PCs using file-share sites and publishes the user's net history on a public website before demanding a fee for its removal. The Japanese trojan virus installs itself on computers using a popular file-share service called Winni, used by up to 200m people. It targets those downloading illegal copies of games in the Hentai genre, an explicit form of anime. Website Yomiuri claims that 5500 people have so far admitted to being infected. The virus, known as Kenzero, is being monitored by web security firm Trend Micro in Japan. Masquerading as a game installation screen, it requests the PC owner's personal details. It then takes screengrabs of the user's web history and publishes it online in their name, before sending an e-mail or pop-up screen demanding a credit card payment of 1500 yen (£10) to "settle your violation of copyright law" and remove the webpage. Held to ransom The website that the history is published on is ow...

Google’s streak of strong quarters continues: The company just posted big increases in quarterly profits and revenue. Net revenue at the search giant was up 19 percent to $5.06 billion, compared to $4.1 billion a year ago. Net income increased to $1.96 billion, up from $1.4 billion a year ago. Both figures were squarely in line with analysts’ expectations. In after-hours trading, however, the company’s stock is down slightly. The performance comes as reports have said that the search market is recovering faster than anticipated. (Even during the midst of the recession, however, Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ) continued to grow). A report earlier this week , for instance, said that search-ad spending had jumped 20 percent during the first quarter. Some highlights: — Capital expenditures : Capital expenditures were only $239 million during the quarter, up slightly from the company’s $221 million in capital expenditures last quarter. That’s much less than what analysts had expected—and ...

Facebook believes 'under the radar' checks developed by its engineers are more important for keeping its site safe than public deterrents such as a Ceops 'panic button'. Photograph: Linda Nylind Facebook has developed sophisticated algorithms to monitor its users and detect inappropriate and predatory behaviour, bolstering its latest raft of initiatives to improve the safety of its users. Having launched an education campaign, an improved reporting procedure and a 24/7 police hotline on Monday, Facebook told the Guardian that it has introduced a number of algorithms that track the behaviour of its users and flag up suspicious activity, including members with a significant number of declined friend requests and those with a high proportion of contacts of one gender. Another filter, common on web publishing sites, scans photo uploads for skin tones and blocks problem images – the "no nipples" filter that caused pictures of b...

The Apple iPad’s stronger signal could throw off others’ wireless connections, Israeli officials said. Photograph: Reuters Israel has banned imports of Apple 's new product, the iPad , amid concerns that its Wi-Fi signals could disrupt other devices. Customs officials said yesterday they have already confiscated about 10 of the lightweight tablet computers since Israel announced the new regulations this week. The ban prevents anyone, even tourists, from bringing iPads into Israel until officials certify that they comply with local transmitter standards. The US federal communications commission allows devices with Wi-Fi capability to broadcast at higher power levels than are allowed in Europe and Israel meaning that the iPad 's stronger signal could throw off others' wireless connections, Israeli officials said.

Warga Haloban ternyata mendengar suara letusan dahsyat dari arah laut pada Selasa (13/4) malam, baru esoknya seorang nelayan menemukan daratan baru yang menyemburkan lumpur di antara Pulau Tailana dan Madang Kati, sekitar tiga mil arah utara Haloban. Wartawan Serambi, Dede Rosadi mendapatkan informasi itu di Haloban (Pulau Tuangku), 40 mil (lima jam perjalanan naik boat) dari Kota Singkil pada Jumat (16/4) siang. Beberapa warga Haloban yang ditanyainya, mengaku sempat mendengar suara ledakan besar dari arah laut pada Selasa (13/4) malam. Namun, saat itu tidak ada warga yang menduga ledakan itu ada kaitannya dengan fenomena munculnya daratan baru di dekat Pulau Haloban pascagempa berkekuatan 7,2 skala Richter (SR) yang terjadi sepekan sebelumnya (Rabu dini hari, 7 April 2010). “Ya, kami dengar ada suara ledakan besar dari laut, tapi kami tidak menyan...
