Those concerned about such an account needs to produce relevant information about the account owner for Twitter to take a justified action. The concerned party sends information via email or snail mail.

Facebook increases security options

Image via CrunchBase Facebook , ever the victim of criticism when it comes to users' security, has announced a number of new features to help keep its social network more secure. The most significant addition is " one-time passwords " that are designed for you to use when you're out and about - handy if you're at an internet cafe or using a library-based computer. Or you're at your buddy's house and you know that they'll frape you if they get into your account. The password is sent to you via text, after you text a request (simply write "otp") to 32665. You'll get a unique password that will last for 20-minutes. You will need to log your mobile phone number with Facebook to do this - otherwise anyone would be able to get in, although no doubt people will now moan about Facebook collecting phone numbers.

Moreover, the AIR apps run on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS of both iPod Touch and iPad .

Google to Roll out Cars that Drives by Itself

Image via CrunchBase Google announced that the company tested a self-driven car that travels 14,000 miles on the street of California. According to software engineer Sebastian Thrun , the car uses video cameras on the rooftop, radar sensors and a laser range finder to maneuver through other traffic. However, there is a driver in stand-by mode as well as a software expert to take control. They car goes through San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate bridge , passed the city's famous sloping streets, driven between Google offices, and made it around Lake Tahoe. Routes are pre-planned, mapped first by real drivers, and local police are informed ahead of time, he said. Sebastian also quoted figures from the World Health Organization which show that more than 1.2 million people are killed each year on the roads, and the number can be reduced after using self-driven car.
