Facebook: All Your Data are Belong to Us

Image via CrunchBase If you’re using social media , or basically anything on the Internet these days, you are really kidding yourself if you think you have true privacy.  That said, Facebook ’s latest change to their terms of service states that they own all of your data, even if you delete your account. We’ve run into things like this before. Google Chrome had a simlilarly suspicious TOS that was made more reasonable after a similar public outcry . Question is: will Facebook listen? It isn’t the first time they have come under fire.  Beacon and the  new facebook  were both a communication faux pas .  Can you blame Facebook though? They need to make money.  Nobody is twisting your arm to be on Facebook in the first place.   I respect that  CEO Mark Zuckerberg put out  a post  to respond to the situation at hand.  Mind you it would have been nice to see before all the public outcry, though at least they are addressing the ...

Do you use the same password for every website?

Despite high-profile security breaches such as  Jack Straw's Hotmail account being compromised , and cybercriminals gaining access to celebrity Twitter accounts after  cracking an administrator password , a third of computer users are still using the same password for every website they access according to newly revealed stats* from Sophos. Very few computer users seem to have woken up to the risks of using weak passwords and the same ones for every site they visit. With social networking and other internet accounts now even more popular, there's plenty on offer for hackers and by using the same password to access Facebook, Amazon and your online bank account, you're making it much easier for them.

WARNING: ‘Facebook Now Has A Dislike Button’ Scam Spreading Through Facebook

For users who have been awaiting the arrival of a  Facebook  “Dislike” button , don’t believe the wall posts you see claiming to be just that–it’s a scam. This fast spreading scam appears as a Facebook status update in your News Feed that says “Facebook now has a dislike button! Click ‘Enable Dislike Button’ to turn on the new feature!” Next to the Like and Comment links at the bottom of the post it also says “Enable Dislike Button,” but please don’t click on it! Once you click the link, the message will be posted as your status (exposing all of your friends to the scam) and a JavaScript code will run on your computer. These kinds of codes are very dangerous because they bypass security settings on your computer’s browser and leave your computer exposed to malware.

Benarkah Penerapan Hukum Qishosh di Arab Saudi?

Image via Wikipedia Tanya: Baru-baru ini mencuat berita pemancungan atas seorang TKW asal Indonesia di Arab Saudi bernama Ruyati karena terbukti telah membunuh majikan perempuannya. Benarkah yang demikian itu adalah pelaksanaan hukuman qishash yang benar dalam Islam? Jika tidak, seharusnya bagaimana?   Jawab: Syari’at Islam mengatur hukuman atas kejahatan terhadap fisik yang disebut dengan hukum Jinayat. Diantaranya ada kejahatan terhadap fisik yang dihukum qishash (hukuman serupa dengan kejahatan yang dilakukan) seperti kejahatan mematahkan gigi dan pembunuhan (jika keluarga korban tidak memaafkan), dan ada pula yang tidak dihukum qishash melainkan dengan membayar diyat (tebusan sebesar 100 onta atau 1000 dinar) seperti kejahatan memotong anggota tubuh selain gigi dengan ketentuan-ketentuan yang ada. Hukum Qishash pada pembunuhan ditetapkan oleh Allah swt sebagai hifzh an-nafs (menjaga jiwa), sebagaimana firman-Nya: وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيَاةٌ يَا أُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ لَ...
