Facebook has made it popular with its users, not just through a water-resistant data protection principle. In many cases, has already changed the Datenschutzbedinungen Facebook and is also often led to criticism come. Increasingly tried Facebook, a rethink in terms of creating their own data. Not everyone is satisfied.

Only today is a new "proposal" was submitted to the community. In short, it is important that sites that interact with Facebook Connect, get information about the user. These include the profile photo, the date of birth or the name. The sticking point here is that this happens without the prior consent of the user. If you do not want this, you have to contradict manually.

My opinion you should, in principle, fall at his feet. I find this proposal very questionable, is doing, because Facebook this without asking the user. I also wonder whether the German law at all is legal. If anyone has information regarding this, they may like to immortalize in the comments. And what happens if the lawful in Germany would not? Facebook may not give the data of German users then?

Privacy Tips for Facebook

Who the first part of this article has read in the upper part, is certainly not happy that Facebook handles so irresponsible with the (sometimes) very personal data of users. Certainly there are some methods that are appropriate in the use of social networks. Part of this is that you need not publish every little detail of his life. Some data, such as the exact place of residence or as the political orientation, can be difficult to find jobs. But there are also a few more tips on how you're safe with Facebook.

Will not be indexed by Google

For many employers, it has long been a common practice: the boss (or personnel manager) "googling" the candidate on the Internet. This is a very clever way to find out more about the candidates. This is Google and Facebook will not find it, should you put two check marks in the settings. First of all you have to log you on Facebook. Then you shimmy on Account -> Privacy Settings -> search for this page further.

Once there, you have the possibilities for your viewfinder visibility results in Facebook to "Friends Only" to ask, and do not display in public search results permit. For this you simply removing the check mark in "Public search results".

Photo Tagging not allow

Often end up photos on Facebook, not everyone should see. These include pics of the last party. To go out of their way to these markings, you should also remove a check mark again. That you're doing on this page (Account -> Privacy Settings -> Profile Information).

Here you can specify that markings are visible only to you. Alternatively, one still has the option marks only a specific list of friends to give freely, you naturally create previously have. So it is possible to give friends the award marks the business partners do not.
Incidentally, it is also possible to make photo albums to the public as such only for certain groups of people. Can this be done in the same way.

In addition, it is of course still possible to make all the other information is not public. I basically have all the information to "Friends Only". Better as that

Actually, I'm not really the Apple fanatics. But one thing you have to let the boys from Cupertino: When they throw a new product on the market, then come directly to tens of others and want to be in the running. So also the German company Neofonie, offering the WePad (eieiei when the time is not a dispute about the name) its own tablet.

Roughly summarized, the WePad a Tablet PC, with a large pressure-sensitive display and built-in Wi-Fi. Yes, that would be so rough description I would give someone who wants a quick explanation. But for the domestic Techniknerds like me, I naturally have some more information about the device and compare it with the iPad (if a comparison is even possible).

If one looks so this table, then the whole story looks quite neat. Furthermore, the device is installed in a fancy aluminum jacket and has some sensors such as a motion sensor or a light sensor. With the latter it would be possible to control the screen brightness automatically to conserve energy, resulting in a longer run time with the result. Clever.

What is still unclear, however, is the price. I hope that the manufacturer shall make no mistake.

Caschy raffled on his blog at the moment a Flip MinoHD. Will you have them, you must publish a video on his blog. But not just any video. "Post the video that makes you laugh the most," according to the order. And I'm now just. Well, the video I have ever been posted (probably a few months ago, but seems to me like only yesterday), but it's super funny nunmal. So, take that, Caschy!

Today it is known that Windows Mobile 7, the new operating system for mobile phones from Microsoft without copy & paste function as well without multitasking comes along. In the latter case, the apps when switching to the home screen can be easily "killed" and removed from memory. It certainly brings some performance advantages, but also has many drawbacks. If one only once before, for example, you can navigate through the phone from the city and suddenly you are surprised by a phone call. The navigation can be ever forgotten. Would not it be much better if one accepts the call by voice command, and connected the phone via Bluetooth to the car? According to Microsoft probably does not.

In addition, you have to do probably also copy and paste in Windows Phone 7. This is also not very smart of Microsoft, has been rumored for months but Apple, the iPhone finally let them install a copy function. This has the iPhone now. WP7 not. Why not learn from the mistakes of others? Why is this a bug that the competitor has been rumored ever been copied? I can not explain it to me. Or Microsoft pursues the strategy of "From Apple you learn best?"

In both notices me is unfortunately only a courageous pity on her lips. I was still firmly convinced that my next phone a mobile phone with Windows Mobile is 7. Now I'm on to doubt whether this would be the right choice. Just hope for once that Microsoft nachbessert quickly. Have a little time to develop them still.

Today I stumbled over a News of the new gaming service OnLive streaming. If you just do not know what that is: If OnLive is a startup company. The same product out of the house makes it possible, even with a computer that does not meet the minimum requirements of a game to gamble, this. How does it work? It's simple: The games will be in the running of OnLive cloud server and is streamed in practice only the image on the home computer. By the user, only the keystrokes. According to OnLive, it will be possible to play a game at the highest level of detail and a resolution of 1024 × 768 px 3000 with a broadband line.
This all sounds very tempting. Easy to gamble at times as the netbook FacCry2 or GTA IV can. Only with the help of a plugin that just 1 MB in size. For the TV is also a set-top box is available, one on the whole the fullest on your TV. As I said, tempting. Were it not for a news, which I stumbled.

The message to, costs OnLive minutes per month. 14.95 U.S. dollars. And that's just the ongoing cost, ie the costs that must always be paid, because the server farms must also be paid. You can not play it. Per game, the customer will be asked to pay again ie. How much does it cost there is still not known. Out of sheer speculation, I would guess times that the games are not much cheaper than the store itself, the $ 14.95 is yes, only the server, and traffic costs. The publisher will even earn a little. So would the fun be quite expensive. But as I said, this is just speculation. OnLive has even commented on the additional cost for games not yet exist.

If this were really so, it would not be worthwhile to use OnLive. It is also of course so that it will be practically limited by DRM in the possession of the game. I go to the store, I've's in your hand. Even if the OnLive servers are offline, I can play. This is at the service not so.

As part of this news, I'm a bit of doubt on whether OnLive is really the blockbuster.
