Who is spying you on internet

who is spying

Mozilla's Firefox is the world's second most popular web browser. Mozilla, the maker of Firefox, has unveiled a new add-on for the popular web browser that gives users an instant view of which companies are -watching- them as they browse, the Daily Mail reported on Friday. 

The move comes the same week that Google pushed ahead with its controversial new privacy policy, built to provide even more data for Google's twenty eight billion advertising business -- despite concerns that the harvesting of private data might be illegal in many countries. 

The add-on will allow users to -pull back the curtain- on web advertising firms and other third parties that track people's online movements, says Mozilla CEO Gary Kovacs. 

Google's business is built on advertising - the company earned $28 billion from its Ad-Words service in 2010. 

Google's new privacy policy allows it to --streamline-- data from Android phones, YouTube, Gmail and web browsing to target its adverts even more precisely towards individual web users. 

Mozilla's Firefox is the world's second most popular web browser, a position under threat from Google's own Chrome browser. The Collusion add-on is an official Mozilla product, and was unveiled at the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference this week by Mozilla CEO Gary Kovacs.

One million dollars to expose Chrome bugs

one million dollars offer

                                 A offer for hackers, one million dollars to expose Chrome bugs

Google would pay up to one million dollars in prizes to hackers who can expose bugs and vulnerabilities in their browser (Chrome). Calling it a --big learning opportunity--- Google staffers Chris Evans and Justin Schuh unveiled three ways in which hackers can win the cash by finding flaws in their technology.

A top prize of 60,000 dollars will go to each hacker who can find a =---Full Chrome exploit---, a flaw that exists exclusively in Chrome.  The next prize of 40,000 $ will be paid to those who can find a ---Partial Chrome exploit--- a bug or flaw in Chrome that may also exist in other programs. 

Lastly, Google will give 20,000 dollars ---Consolation rewards--- to hackers who expose bugs of ---exploits--- that are not specific to Chrome, but affect users of all Internet browsers, The New York Daily News reports.  "We will issue multiple rewards per category, up to the 1 million dollar limit, on a first-come-first served basis,"  the Google Chrome Security Team said in a blog post. 

Each winner will also score a Chromebook, the report said. Earlier Facebook also offered incentives to programmers who can help expose bugs. 

The social networking giant began giving out "White Hat Bug Bounty Program" Visa cards last year, doling out thousands of dollars to hackers who found flaws and paying them on an exclusive debit card, which can be used just like a credit or ATM card.

Facebook is Reading your Text Messages

Facebook can read your text messages and having the ability to write text messages on your Android smartphone with Facebook app installed on it.

This was first reported by "The Sunday Times". It says Facebook has admitted to paper that it accessed users’ text messages for a test feature that company is planning to introduce in future.

 List of permissions you approve Facebook App for Android phones

facebook text messages

But facebookis not agreed to it. Facebook denied the report and said:

1) There is no reading of user text messages.

2) On the Android App store, the Facebook app permissions include SMS read/write.

3) The reason it is on there is because we have done some testing (not with the general public) of products that require the SMS part of the phone to talk to the Facebook App. That’s what the read&write refers to – the line of communication needed to integrate the two things.

4) Anyway – we have yet to make any such features available to the public. (so the Sunday Times is completely wrong when it says Facebook is reading people’s SMS. Wrong on the terminology, and wrong on the suggestion that it has been implemented).

5) But Facebook is right to insert this into the Android app permissions – because yes, the app technically has the capability to integrate with the phone’s SMS system – even if that is just for our own testing.

A very bad stretegy from facebook. It didn’t clarify that why its Android App asks for text message readand write permission. When the feature (that they are talking about) isn’t available to general public at all.

Privacy is the next biggest issue for the world on on smartphones. These devices store most private and confidential data, which is accurate at the same time, can get exposed to exploiters with just a single click without any option of undoing it.

Convert Your Facebook Profile To A Facebook Page

Facebook has released a new tool that lets users convert their personal profile into a Facebook Page. Though the terminology is often muddled, a key difference between the two features is that users can simply like a Page while they must friend (establish a mutual relationship with) a profile, which makes Pages a much better solution for businesses and public figures.

facebook profile page

Be aware that when you convert your profile to a Page, your profile pictures will be transferred, and all of your friends will be automatically added as people who like your Page. No other content will be carried over to your new Page, so be sure to save any important content before beginning your migration.

Migrating is irreversible at this time, so you may want to download your profile information including photos, wall posts, messages and friend list before making the switch.

After months of development,MSN Adds New Feature To Take Internet's Pulse. The feature sifts through millions of Internet searches and links circulating among the hordes on Facebook and Twitter. The chatter is then distilled into the equivalent of a digital water cooler -- a place where people can go to keep in touch without taking up a lot of their time. The trend-tracking service, called ---msnNOW--- tunes into the buzz by sifting through millions of Internet searches and links circulating among the hordes on Facebook and Twitter. The chatter is then distilled into the equivalent of a digital water cooler  """a place where people can go to keep in touch without taking up a lot of their time."""

This feature has been added on Thursday at http://now.msn.com.

The service is primarily aimed at college-age teenagers and young adults who are increasingly relying on smartphones and other mobile devices to remain plugged into what everyone is talking about from one hour to the next. It's an "information -snacking" addiction that msnNOW is looking to feed with a smorgasbord of morsels served up a team of about 20 editors who will write 100-word summaries of the stories driving online conversations, said Bob Visse, MSN's general manager.

Although it's tailor made for people on the go, msnNOW isn't offering an app for smartphones or computer tablets. It can be reached on all mobile Web browsers. The service also includes tools to make it easy to share on Facebook, Twitter and email.

CM's Laptop Scheme or advertisement of Nurgis Mujra

Shockingly there were Dances of stage actress Nargis in educational CDs given in Multan under Youth Laptop Scheme. This shocking mix-up has left many a recipient reeling in disgust as no one could expect such delinquency in an educational scheme.

Some 5,443 students of Bahauddin Zakriya University were given free laptops by the Punjab government. However, the CDs which were meant to have educational software instead had the stage actress’ dances.

The students said that: "CM Shahbaz Sharif should direct the officials concerned to check the CDs being given under the scheme."
