Good for Amnesty International - though I have now permanently deleted my Facebook account, as I do not like the way Facebook operates in terms of privacy issues.

Sentenced on Facebook

Amnesty International is launching a Facebook application that will illustrate to users of the social media site how their posts could see them tortured, imprisoned or even killed in other countries.

The application, called Trial By Timeline, scans a person's Facebook page and determines what crimes they might have committed in other countries simply through listing their occupation, gender, relationship status or liking posts that an
oppressive regime may deem offensive. The application then lists what the punishment for that 'crime' is likely to be in particular countries.

Amnesty IT manager Vivian Chandra says the application is part of a new branding for the organisation, which has the tagline 'Protect the Human'.

Airline customer on hold for 15 hours

How long is too long to wait on hold? Thirty minutes? One hour? Try 15 hours, 40 minutes and one second.

But why wait so long? Well, the recorded message said someone would be with him as soon as possible - ''I wanted to find out what exactly they meant would be as soon as possible.'' And after a certain time, he did not want to give up his spot in the queue.

How Secure Are You On The Internet?

Microsoft has improved the security of it considerably, thanks to automatic updates and additional free security tools.

Lets assume you have got your browser updated to the latest version, and that you generally update the application immediately when a new version comes out. You are secure now, right? Nope, you are not. Why? Because it is not only about the browser software. Browsers make automatic use of other applications, commonly called plugins. Popular plugins like Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight or Java are attack vectors as well, and successful ones too.

Suit alleges Disney, other top sites spied on users
A lawsuit filed in federal court last week alleges that a group of well-known Web sites, including those owned by Disney, Warner Bros. Records, and Demand Media, broke the law by secretly tracking the Web movements of their users, including children.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Australia
The Australian government has censored approximately 90 percent of a secret document outlining its controversial plans to snoop on Australians' web surfing, obtained under freedom of information (FoI) laws, out of fear the document could cause "premature unnecessary debate". Clearly, they're hiding something behind all that black ink: nobody blacks out that much text unless there's something they know will enrage the public.

A change of Prime Minister down under is not enough to kill off one of the most stupid ideas of the 21st century.

I do not think I would like it all that much.

Kiwi search engine to take on Google (Kiwi = New Zealand)
Pingar, presents search results in a PDF document instead of listing links to external sites as Google or Bing does.

“It takes the browsing out of browsing,” Pingar managing director Peter Wren-Hilton said. “For example, if a user typed in ‘what investment opportunities exist in Wellington?’ they would probably get back a five page PDF document.”
now do you think this be good do you like this results in a PDF ?

Windows 7 was not modelled on the Mac OS, says Microsoft

Microsoft denies Windows 7 is modelled on the Mac OS

Redmond disowns comments made by one of its managers

"What we’ve tried to do with Windows 7 – whether it’s traditional format or in a touch format – is to create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics," he was reported as saying.
Looks like a Mac OS to me if you got window 7 do you think it look like a Mac ?

Return Virtual System very slow on the web try to send to clipmarks & no go most times so take off now PC is OK I am on dial-up the old RVS was good & not slow me down.

Anyone else have this problem: The game is activated on two profiles and works and is playable on one profile for days. But when the other profile is played for the first time on the second profile the game no longer is playable on either profile. I've even tried to install this on two different drives but it won't work. You can see the files necessary to play the game, but when you click on the .exe file nothing happens. This only occurs on games made by Alawar Games

Trick Ball worked perfectly on my computer.

ok because when i tried to download trick ball, after the download my computer went crazy.

This is legal software. And talking with some of the software authors. They are properly compensated for such promotional periods.

Is this illegal or legal, because after i downloaded one game for the first time, my computer went crazy, and then i had the T2d file making my computer act up too. Can i remove the t2d file, by just deleting it , because its not in my control panel.
