Facebook Wants To Be Your Music Level [PC Supporter]



Facebook wants to be your music level on your Device � [PC Supporter]





As Facebook edges toward the billion-user print, an entire ecosystem that has grown up in its raise, including developers, partners, advertisers and rivals -- is ready to focus what's incoming. They'll get answers Thursday at f8, Facebook's reference developer conference.



Anchored by a note from Facebook CEO Evaluation Zuckerberg, the conference traditionally serves as the launching tip for new features that map out the strategy of the party fabric, which now has many than 750 meg progressive users.


This period, penalty gift be a pupil focusing. Sources with knowledge of Facebook's plans say the tract is partnering up with services similar Spotify, Mog, Rhapsody and Rdio to yield users to portion penalty from polar services on the place. Spotify CEO Jurist Ek is slated to communicate at an f8 meeting on "the prox of digital euphony."


"What Facebook is leaving to do is, you'll be able to purchase to whatsoever you like and we'll be healthy to jazz a sharing penalization change," said Playwright Van Buskirk, application of music-meets-tech journal Evolver.fm.


But sources unaired to Facebook say the circle's modality extends beyond meet the sound area. The cultural colossus is activity a broader media document, with a catchword of "Show, Catch, Focus." The organisation's present "Similar" button could be feat some associate: Facebook is rumored to be set to tramp out new buttons to follow its new media movement.


But Facebook isn't making members inactivity until Weekday to signal sampling its stylish creations. The reserves has launched a strengthen flowing of tweaks and new features over the prehistoric period.


On Weekday, Facebook disclosed changes to its Intelligence Inclose. When users log in, they'll see large photos and a customised slant of state updates from their closest friends, which now changes depending on how newly they worst checkered the place. Facebook is eliminating unconnected tabs for "top word" and "most recent."


"You real shouldn't miss eminent updates from your friends," News Take creation trainer Keith Schacht said in an interview. A new timekeeper on the top justice of the Facebook page will show friends' activities on the parcel immediately after they occur. The features should be activated on everyone's ground within the next week or so, Schacht said.


But the user response to the interchange was swift and unkind. "This sucks. That is all," wrote one, summing up a blacklash that played out crossways Facebook pages and on Peep.


Facebook also lately beefed up its "lists" property, making it easier to part messages with a little subset of fill on your friends table, and launched a "take" button, which lets you build the cognition that shows up in your Programme Nutrient.


Detain tuned for much. "We're entering propulsion season," Facebook evilness presidency of application Mike Schroepfer said at the TechCrunch Discontinue discussion lastly week. The line echoed a evidence Zuckerberg prefabricated in July, at a intelligence circumstance he called the start to Faceboook's 2011 "launch flavor."




"We've been real antiquity up clean ... in making improvements we've been wanting to micturate for a durable dimension," Schroepfer told the Discontinue interview.


But some of those new features seem a bit -- symptomless, common. Subscriptions essentially brings Twitter-like updates to Facebook, piece the curation way Facebook calls "hurt lists" isn't too far removed from Circles on Google Positive (which unsealed to the people this hebdomad).


"I imagine contention is major," Schroepfer said. "It keeps grouping distinct."

3 Massive Apps for HTC Explorer





HTC Explorer: A low budget Android Smartphone, Running on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, having HTC Sense 3.5 and 3.2inch HVGA resolution Touch-Screen.


3 Massive Apps for HTC ExplorerA very common �low memory� notification is a serious headache for HTC Explorer users specially for social-network�s geeks. Whenever you try to download more than two or three apps from Google Play Store, that notification will warn you every time that you are using a low budget smartphone with a low internal memory.

There is an option to move apps to SD Card, but apps like Facebook and Twitter causing a big trouble as they do not have a move to SD Card option and they are very big on memory also.


Performance-wise the HTC Explorer is superb, with 600MHz of processor it gives a much high-end output every time. But the problem is to choose apps, which will gently fits in HTC Explorer�s limited memory, to resist its low memory notification.


These three social networking apps will not effect too much on HTC Explorer�s memory as they can be easily move to SD Card to wipe up some additional internal storage.


1. Instagram


Instagram for AndroidInstagram is a very cool and trendy photo sharing & editing app for Android Operating system. Due to very common in-use on social networks these days like Facebook and Twitter, everyone of you would like to install it in your phone but as it requires at least 12MB of space you will definitely not interested to get it although it�s a free app, but it has a move to SD Card option which is a good news. So don�t worry go ahead and get one to show-up your colleagues that you also have a high-end device. To read more about Instagram or download, visit the Google Play Store


 



 



 



2. Flipboard

3. Plume for Twitter


Plume for TwitterGoogle Play store have a specific category on their front cover, �HTC Recommends� , which shows you a large collection of free and paid top apps, inside that I find Plume for Twitter, one of the best Twitter clients for Android, also you can connect your Facebook account with Plume to get updates from your friends.

How to Google 2-Steps Verification - Sync With Google Authenticator App

 

google authGoogle 2-steps verification gives you a total security on all Google apps & services  like Gmail, YouTube, Google Play Store and many other services, by sending you a six digits verification code on your phone or on Google Authenticator app - available for Android, Apple and BlackBerry. This six digit code should be input whenever you log-in to your Google account for verification after you turned on the 2-steps verification.

Besides that, if you are going to log-in and you can�t receive a verification code or you don�t have any device � Google Authenticator app installed on: Google alternatively gives you 10 more backup verification codes � you can put them in your wallet or save them to a file on your computer. You can use them when you have no mobile coverage.

After turning on the 2-steps verification - you can use both ways either text messaging or Google Authenticator app to get a six digit verification code for logging into Google services.

Lets how to turn on the Google 2-steps verification on step by step:-

1. You must have a Google account � already verified by a text message or by a voice call with your cell phone or a landline number.

2. Go to www.google.com and Sign-in with your current Email address and Password.

3. After log-in to your Google account, on the upper right corner � click on your profile picture, and click Account, here you can see all your Account information on the that page.

4. Inside �Security� tab (showing on left side-bar) you will find �2-steps verification� text with an Edit button on the right side (as shown in the picture below) click on Edit. You will prompt for Password again, just type your Password and Sign-in again. Its only for verification this time.

Step-4

5. Now here is the Setup starts. Click on Start Setup to go to next step.

Step-5

6.  The next step is to input your phone number you want to connect with Google services, and choose an option how you want to get a verification code for the next step (Step 7), and click Send Code (the Send Code button is not shown in this picture, but you can find it down the page).

Step-6

7. A text message will be sent from Google to your cell or landline number (you entered in the Step 6) including a six digit verification code. Enter that verification code in the box (as shown below) and click Verify (as the Verify button not shown in the picture again, same like in Step 6).

Step-7

8. On this step Google will ask you if you trust this computer? Trusted computers only asked for verification code once every 30 days. So if this is your single and Personal Computer, you can remain with ticked-mark on this option and click Next, incase this is not your Personal Computer, or you cannot trust on this computer, click in the check box to remove the tick-mark, an option will pop-pup for verification again, and select the option I don�t trust this computer and than click Confirm. All done you have successfully turned on the 2-steps verification for Google services, and from now every time you enter a password to log-in to any Google service, you will get a verification code on your phone number via text message.

In the next step (Step 9), see how to access your Google Account with Google Authenticator app.

Step-8

9. All the previous steps were about to how to enable 2-steps verification on Google services? In this step we will show you how to download Google Authenticator app on your Android, Apple or BlackBerry device, and how to use it with Google 2-steps verification?

First of all download any barcode read for your device. Now download Google Authenticator app for your device from the links given below and install it on your device:

Google Authenticator for Android

version 2.1 or later

Google Authenticator for Apple

iPhone iOS 3.1.3 or later

**Google Authenticator for BlackBerry

OS 4.5 - 6.0

Google Play Store

App Store

blackberry app world

**The Google Authenticator for BlackBerry Download link was not found the time we were publishing this article.

After installing the Google Authenticator app for your device, and completing the 2-steps verification process, its time to use Google Authenticator for log-in to Google account.

For Android Users Only:

10. The further steps are the same for all three platforms Android, iOS and BlackBerry. The only difference in-between is use of Google Authenticator app on your device. We will focus on Android app at the moment.

After completing the Step-8 you will referred to this page shown below. Here at the top you will see your phone number with a green tick mark on the left side, which means your phone number is successfully connected with Google services for 2-step verification.

To connect your account with Google Authenticator app � open the app on your device, and tap on Add Account. You will find two option to add an account to Google Authenticator, �Scan Barcode� and �Add account manually�, select �Scan Barcode� and the Barcode scanner app will starts. (we have tested ZXING TEAM Barcode Scanner for Android device).

Step-10

To �manage application-specific passwords�, see the video clip below:

how to manage application-specific passwords using Google 2-step verification.

11. Now on your computer, click on Android (as shown in the image below), it will open another page includes a Barcode. Scan the barcode with your barcode scanner (which was turned on in previous step) and you will find your account in Google Authenticator app on your device, and a 6 digit verification code will appear on your device, put that code in that page down below (as shown in the image below), and click Verify.

Step-11

Its all done and you successfully connect your Google Authenticator app with your Google account. I personally recommend that way to use Google more securely and personally.

This verification code is changing every 30 seconds on Google Authenticator app, which makes your Google account more and more secure. The amazing feature about Google Authenticator app is that its not required any internet connection to update the verification code online, and it totally works in offline mode. You can add more than one account in a single Google Authenticator app.

The Future of Malware | News





The future of Malware | News from �PCadvisor.com�





Future of MalwareSecurity breaches look set to bet worse as hacker groups target smartphones and social media and release more information online. Jeff Vance reports.



Personal information leaked online is becoming an all too common occurrence. For example, Sony suffered a massive breach of its PlayStation Network earlier this year that led to the theft of names, addresses and possibly credit-card data belonging to 77 million users.


If you think the situation is bad now, just wait. Things will get worse as more information is dumped online by mischievous hacker groups such as Anonymous, and cybercriminals begin to target smartphones and social media.




In August, AntiSec (a collaboration between Anonymous and the disbanded LulzSec group) released more than 10GB of information from 70 US law-enforcement agencies. According to Todd Feinman, CEO of DLP vendor Identity Finder, AntiSec wasn�t motivated by money.


�AntiSec doesn�t like how various law-enforcement agencies operate and it�s trying to embarrass and discredit them,� he said.


But, he added, what it doesn�t realize is that when it publishers sensitive persona information, it�s helping low-skilled cybercriminals commit identity theft. Every week, another government department or business has its records breached � some 250,000 to 500,000 each year, estimated Feinman. Few details from those breaches are published online for all to see, however.


While certain high-profile attacks, such as the one on Sony, are intended to embarrass and spark change, the US law-enforcement breach could represent a shift in hacker thinking. AntiSec�s motivations appear to have a key difference, with the attackers consciously considering collateral damage as a strategic weapon. According to Feinman, AntiSec wrote online; �We don�t care about collateral damage. It will happen, and so be it.�




Social Networking




Facebook Malware

Experts say the future of malware is more about how potential victims will be targeted than how it will be engineered. Collateral damage won�t be limited to innocents compromised through no fault of their own.


Have you ever accepted a friend request on Facebook or connected to someone on Linkedin you don�t know? Perhaps you thought it was someone from school you�d forgotten about, or a former colleague whose name had slipped your mind. Not wanting to seem rude, you accepted them as a friend and quickly forgot about it. �When people make trust decisions with social networks, they don�t always understand the ramifications. Today, you are far more knowable by someone who doesn�t know you than ever,� said Kr Hugh Thompson, program chair of RSA Conferences.


We all know people who discuss everything they do on a social network or blog, from eating their breakfast to clipping their toenails. While most of us consider these people a nuisance and may hide their status updates, cybercriminals love them.


�Password-reset questions are easy to guess, and tolls such as Ancystry.com, while not created for this purpose, provided hackers with useful information,� said Thompson.


There are a few areas he believes the IT security industry needs to concentrate on: security for social media, ways to manage the information shared about you, and better methods for measuring evolving risks.




Enterprise Targets



mobile malware and your businessFake security software is the most common type of social-engineering attack that researchers at Blue Coat Systems come across. Chirs Larsen, head of the lab, explained that social network�s aren�t being used only to target individuals.


Larsen outlined a recent attack attempt where hackers targeted executives of a major corporation through their spouses.


The chances were at least one of the businessmen would have a poorly secured home PC that he shared with his non-tech-savvy wife. This would provide the backdoor needed to gain access to the company.


�Whaling is definitely on the rise,� said Paul Wood, senior intelligence analyst for Symantec.cloud. �Just a couple years ago, we saw one or two of these sorts of attacks per day. Today, we catch as many as 80.�


According to Wood, social engineering is by far the most potent weapon in the cybercriminal�s toolbox (automated, widely available malware and hacking toolkits are number two). Combine that with the fact that many senior executives circumvent IT security because they want the latest and trendiest devices, and cybercriminals have many valuable, easy-to-hit targets in their sights.


�Attacks on small businesses are increasingly dramatic because they are usually the weakest link in a larger supply chain,� said Wood.


There�s no sure way to defend against this. Until companies start scrutinizing the cyber-security of their partners and suppliers, they can�t say with any certainty whether or not they themselves are secure. While it�s common for large firms to keep a close eye on their suppliers, with factory visits that result in the implementation of an array of �best practices�, companies aren�t doing this when it comes to cyber-security.




Smartphone Threats



AndroidMalwareSmartphone threats are on the rise, but we�ve yet to see a major incident. This is partly due to platform fragmentation. Malware creators still get better results by targeting PCs or websites.


Larsen believes that platform-agnostic, web-based worms represent the new frontier of malware. Platform-agnostic malware lets legitimate developers do same of the heavy lifting for malware writers. As developers re-engineer sites and apps to work on a variety of devices, hackers can then target the HTML, XML, Jpegs and so on that render on any device anywhere.


Mobile phones are serving as a second identity factor for all sorts of corporate authentication schemes. Businesses that used to rely on hard tokens, such as RSA SSecureID, are moving to soft tokens, which can reside on mobile phones roaming beyond the corporation as easily as on PCs ensconced within corporate walls.


�Two-factor authentication originally emerged because people couldn�t trust computers. Using mobile phones as an identity factor defeats two-factor authentication,� said Marc Maiffret, CTO of eEye Digital Security.


Today, Android is the big smartphone target, but don�t be surprised if attackers soon turn their attention to the iPhone � especially if third-party antivirus programs become more or less standard on Android devices. iPhone demographics are appealing to attackers, and security experts will tell you that Apple products are notoriously insecure.


Apple is reluctant to provide third-party security entities with the kind of platform access they need to improve the security of iPhones, iPads, MacBook Airs and so on. �Apple is very much on its own with security,� said Maiffret. �It almost mirrors late-90s Microsoft, and it�ll probably take a major incident or two to incite change.�


If we�ve learned anything about security in the past 20 years, it�s that another major incident is always looming just over the horizon. With the number of IP-connected devices climbing to anywhere from 50 billion to a Trillian in the next five to 10 years, tomorrow�s hackers could target anything from home alarms and air traffic-control systems to flood control in dams.

How To Avoid Phishing Scams

AQUA ICONS SYSTEM ALERT STOPPhishing scams are commonly initiated via e-mail. Phishing is a fraudulent means of obtaining someone�s username and password. The con artist/identity thief sends an e-mail that appears to originate from a bank, credit card company, or other such company warning of a serious issue you must address right now by clicking a link and logging into your account. The link takes you to an official-looking site complete with text boxes for entering your username and password. If you enter this sensitive information, the con artist has what he or she needs to log in to your real account.


To avoid falling victim to e-mail phishing scams, take the following precautions:
  • Play it safe and go to the website yourself without clicking the e-mail or a link in the message. (You should be able to identify the website from the subject line or the address from which the e-mail originated.) If the website is legitimate and the message did in fact originate from it, you should be able to find something on the website about it; otherwise, it�s most likely a scam.

  • If your e-mail program features phishing protection, enable it. Check your e-mail program�s help system for details.

  • Be aware that most legitimate companies do not send alarming e-mail mes�sages with links to click to resolve issues. If you receive such a message, it�s probably not from the source it claims to come from.

  • Mouse over the link and look in the status bar at the bottom of the window to see the address the link will take you to. Chances are, the link indicates one destination while the address takes you somewhere else entirely. This is a sure sign of a phishing scam.

  • If you think the e-mail message is legitimate, head to the company�s website to obtain legitimate contact information, and then contact the company to verify that someone at the company sent the message.

  • If you determine that an e-mail message is fraudulent, report it to the legiti�mate company from which it supposedly originated so the company can take action.

TEENAGEPhishing scams are most common but not exclusive to e-mail. Con artists may try to obtain login information in chat rooms, via instant messaging programs, and in social networking venues (including Facebook). A good rule of thumb is this: provide sensi�tive information only if you initiated contact.

Avoiding | Filtering | and Blocking Spam

PC Supporter

Avoiding, Filtering, and Blocking Spam

Security_WarningSpam is unsolicited, unwanted e-mail�junk mail. When you first get an e-mail account, you receive very little spam. The spam starts to f low when you post your e-mail address on the web or sign up for free offers with companies that pass your e-mail address to others. Once your e-mail address lands on a spam list as a legitimate address, the spam is almost impossible to stop. When it comes to spam, an ounce of prevention is worth a kilo of cure. Here are a few tips for preventing spam:

 

  • Don�t use your primary e-mail address to register for anything on or off the web. Get a free e-mail account from Gmail, Yahoo!, or Hotmail and use this disposable e-mail address to register for stuff. If you start receiving too much junk e-mail, you can dump the address and use a different one.
  • If you receive a spam message, don�t reply to it. Replying verifies your e-mail address to the spammer and encourages more spam.
  • Don�t put your primary e-mail address on the web�for example on your website or blog. Spammers scan the web for e-mail addresses.

PC Supporter Tips

TipsIf you�re receiving an overwhelming amount of spam, try the following solutions to slow the flow:

 

  • Log in to your Internet service provider�s website to find out whether it uses a spam blocker and whether you can configure it to make it more aggressive in identifying spam.
  • If you have the e-mail account through a hosting provider (a business that hosts your website), log in to your account to find out about available options.
  • Purchase and install a spam blocker of your own. You can find plenty of good spam filters/blockers out there, including SPA Mfighter (www.spamfighter.com), ChoiceMail (www.digiportal.com), and Spameater Pro

E-MailMost newer e-mail programs offer some sort of spam protection (perhaps in the form of a Junk Mail folder) and enable you to enter settings to make the program more or less aggressive in identifying spam. In addition, you can usually create lists of safe senders and blocked senders and block e-mail from certain domains or countries. Search your e-mail program�s help system for �spam� to determine what, if any, spam protection features are available.

(www.spameaterpro. com), to name a few.

Know Your Browser�s Security


PC Supporter


Checking Your Internet Browser�s Security Settings



IE7_128Your web browser has its own security guard on duty that checks incoming files for potential threats. If you try to enter information such as a credit card number on a form that�s not secure, the web browser displays a warning message asking if you want to continue. If a site attempts to install a program on your PC, your browser displays a confirmation dialog box or a warning near the top of the window asking for permission to download and install the program.



With most browsers, the default security settings are fine, but they may be a little on the aggressive side, warning you too much. In any event, checking your browser�s security settings is usually a good idea, just in case your browser has a setting you�d like to change. To check security settings in Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, and then the Security tab.


If you use a browser other than Internet Explorer, check the browser�s help system for information on how to enter your security preferences. All browsers have security features, although they all handle them a little differently.

Can Online Communities Manage Their Privacy Problem?



image


Social networks are redefining the way people find and share information, they�ve provided a platform for a new wave of applications, and their impact has even spilled over into this year�s revolutions in Middle East.

The operations of these networks make money primarily through ads, wooing advertisers with the prospect of campaigns better targeted than anything competitors like search engines or television can provide. Consequently, social networks present the first serious challenge to the dominance of Google�s search-based advertising business. But to provide precisely targeted advertising, they must continue to make the most of the personal information provided by users. In the past, network operators have had a largely free hand in how they used that information, but on a number of occasions they provoked howls of protest by  overstepping the mark. Now privacy concerns are becoming the focus of attention from consumer advocates and governments around the world.


aThese concerns will become even more pressing as social networking is integrated with more and more online services, such as personalized search tools that factor in what you and friends like or recommendation engines that suggest which movies to see, restaurants to visit, or news read. But even as privacy issues linger, it�s likely that before long, not having a profile and some connections on at least on one social network will seem as strange as not having an e-mail address or a cell phone. � Stephen Cass.

TwitPic Under Fire

Image-sharing service slammed regarding rights controversy responds with �clarification�.

TwitPic found itself at the centre of a copyright storm in updating its terms to seemingly claim ownership over uploaded content. Founder Noah Everett soon apologised on the TwitPic blog, and in a post entitled �Your content, your copyrights� said users �retain all copyrights� to their photos and videos.

The image-sharing service is commonly used to store content uploaded by Twitter clients and felt compelled to amend its terms due to onganisations talking images without permission. However, TwitPic�s tie-up with the WENN news group to syndicate posted images has raised suspicions. The Americal Society of Media Photographers told .net it �noted the uncomponsated grabbing of rights related to uploaded images that is buried in TwitPic�s terms of service�, and made members aware of the potential consequences of using sites with such terms as opposed to Mobypicture, which has �more photographer-friendly terms�.

ASMP�s statement drew attention to TwitPic�s �extremely broad rights to license, sublicense and otherwise use uploaded images, whether for commercial purposes or not and whether compensated or not, without any obligation to pay anything to the content owners�, while indemnifying the service of any claims. During the incident, rival services clamored to reassure users regarding rights. Mobypicture founder Mathys van Abbe told .net such services should always �be transparent�, and added: �Business with ad-serving models shouild stick to those � why try to earn an extra buck selling other people�s content? Or at least share the income when a mediation role is played.� Writer Harry Marks told us online services should provided policies and terms in �non-lawyer speak� and cited Apple�s recent location-tracking Q&A: �The language in Apple�s document was controversial, but there was no fine print or legal jargon. Apple wanted people to know exactly what was happening to their data. TwitPic and similar services should follow suit.�
