Facebook  privacy flaw exposes  Mark Zuckerberg  private photos A flaw in Facebook has granted prying users access to supposedly private photographs, including those of the website’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg. In total  14 pictures of Mr Zuckerberg  were posted to image site Imgur under the headline: " It's time to fix those security flaws Facebook ".The bug in the website’s photo reporting tool - which Facebook says was only temporary and has now been fixed - meant that users could access others’ pictures even if they were private. The flaw was first reported on the forums of BodyBuilding.com, presumably because the users of that website like taking photos of themselves and putting them online. The bug exploits the way the offensive photograph reporting tool works. Facebook has been heavily criticised in the last few years for matters of privacy and so there are people who will leap on this story as yet another example of ho...

ncreasing attacks on cyberspace in India has brought several professionals and experts from the Industry, in support with the Government of India to jointly form a national level program to identify credible and valuable information security experts. The program "National Security Database" is all set to launch this Saturday in Mumbai at a major Information security conference, MalCon.

"It is observed that some or other form of electronic notification is usually sent before a major terrorist attack, f...

One of the fastest growing social network Google Plus adds more facilities. The fastest growing social network, Google Plus, keeps improving its arsenal in the battle with rivals like Facebook and Twitter. Google’s newest heavy weapon is: face detection. This technology allows users to tag the photos quicker and easier than before, without manually entering the identity for individual pictures. When the user decides to publish an entire photo album, the new face detection feature will display in one place all the faces found in that album. Later on, grouping photos according to the persons that appear in them will be much easier and then tag them with the name and the email will be made with just a few keystrokes. Users can access this new feature from three different places. One way is to create an album from the sharebox or to add photos to an existing album. Once the upload is complete, Google will recognize the faces and the tagging feature will appear. Another way is to...

If 2011 was the year of the tablet, 2012 may well be the year of the  Ultrabook . Up to 50 new models of the extremely thin, lightweight laptops are going to be unveiled at the  Consumer Electronics Show  (CES) in January, one of the show organizers said. At a CES event in London, Shawn DuBravac, director of research at the Consumer Electronics Association, said he was expecting a torrent of Ultrabooks to make a splash at the show. “We expect to see 30 to 50 new Ultrabooks launched at CES,” DuBravac said, according to  PC Pro . Intel CEO Paul Otellini is scheduled to give a keynote at the show, where he’s expected to announce the official launch of the company’s “Ivy Bridge” processors. These chips employ Intel’s much-hyped Tri-Gate transistor technology to reduce power consumption while improving performance. Intel showed off some prototype Ivy Bridge Ultrabooks at its developer conference in September, and we believe most of the models launching at CES ...

Hackivist group Anonymous vows to “kill Facebook” on November 5, citing users’ lack of choice in privacy as its reason for attack. Update:  Anonymous confirmed via a tweet that while some of its members are organizing the upcoming attack against Facebook, the hacker organization as a whole does not necessarily agree with the attack. The group of hackers has claimed participation in just about every recent notable hacking attack of this year and successfully broke into 70 law enforcement websites and took down the Syrian Ministry of Defense website this week alone. This recent interest in Facebook, despite a slew of privacy concerns raised against the social network since its founding, may be a result of Anonymous’s recent announcement that it plans to create its own social network, called AnonPlus. After the group’s Google+ account, called “Your Anon News,” was banned, it began fleshing out AnonPlus.co...

Microsoft has announced a special version of the popular Firefox browser that comes with the Bing search engine. As you might guess, this version of Firefox changes the default search engine and homepage from Google to Bing. For Mozilla, this will serve as another form of revenue. For Microsoft, this move will help boost the user base for Bing. With two of the world’s most popular web browsers using Bing as their default search engines, this could help accelerate Microsoft’s plans to take over Google as the most popular search engine.

Android 1.5: Cupcake Android Version 1.5: Cupcake Cupcake was step one for what was, at the time, Google's recently acquired mobile operating system Android. While Android 1.0 was introduced on the G1 at launch, Cupcake marked the first iteration of the Android we generally know today (with things like a virtual keyboard!), and also the start of Google's dessert-based code name system for versions of the OS. So, we felt it was better to start here. Android 1.6 Donut Android Version 1.6: Donut Donut was largely a under-the-hood overhaul for Android, and brought support for CDMA networks, text to speech, a vastly improved market, and revamped the Search functionality to not just search the web, but your phone as well. Minor visual changes (like a lighter notification bar color) were implemented, but generally, it looked pretty similar to Cupcake. Android 2.1: Eclair Android Version 2.1: Éclair Éclair was Android's first visual revamp since the company...
