Mon, 17 May 2010 21:09:12 +0200

Brussels: The Article 29 Working Party, the group of European data protection authorities, told Facebook in a letter today that it is unacceptable that the company fundamentally changed the default settings on its social-networking platform to the detriment of a user.

The Article 29 Working Party, which held its 75th plenary session in Brussels on May 10 and 11, 2010, sent letters to 20 social network operators that have signed the "Safer Networking Principles for the EU."

An Open Letter from Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 08:59:31 +0100

It has been a great year for making the world more open and connected. Thanks to your help, more than 350 million people around the world are using Facebook to share their lives online. To make this possible, we have focused on giving you the tools you need to share and control your information. Starting with the very first version of Facebook five years ago, we've built tools that help you control what you share with which individuals and groups of people. Our work to improve privacy continues today. Facebook's current privacy model revolves around "networks" — communities for your school, your company or your region. This worked well when Facebook was mostly used by students, since it made sense that a student might want to share content with

A Georgian blogger with accounts on Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal and Google's Blogger and YouTube was targeted in a denial of service attack that led to the site-wide outage at Twitter and problems at the other sites on Thursday, according to a Facebook executive.

the history, the figures

Pisa: Early 1950s - At a meeting of the Interprovincial Consortium of Universities (CIU), the municipal and provincial administrations of Pisa, Lucca and Livorno made available the sum of 150 million liras (over two million euros, at the current exchange rate) to the University of Pisa, to fi nance the construction of an electrosynchrotron. The studies began in February 1953 at the Institute of Physics of the University of Pisa and were quickly brought to an end: but the University of Rome, one of the project partners, made an offer of 400 million liras and transferred it to Frascati. August 1954 - Marcello Conversi, director of the Institute of Physics, along with Giorgio Salvini and Gilberto Bernardini, researchers from the same institute, approached the Nobel

Apple, AT&T sued for over-saturating 3G network with iPhones

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:18:30 +0200

San Diego: The 18-page complaint from customer William Gillis primarily relies on Internet reports of problems as the foundation of its argument and asserts that leaked information contradicts public statements by either of the defendant companies regarding 3G network performance. Gillis particularly criticizes AT&T. Although company new media representative Brad Mays has gone on record as saying the iPhone 3G has been "performing great" on its 3G network, the plaintiff counters by pointing to claims that the handset has required too much power. In tandem with the "high volume" of iPhones sold, the sheer signal demand has bombarded AT&T and in many cases kicks users down to the EDGE-based 2G network even when 3G coverage is guaranteed, according to the lawsuit. Apple and AT&T also

Google earnings surprise may give Yahoo leverage

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 13:59:40 +0200

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An earnings windfall for Google Inc should benefit rival Yahoo Inc in buyout talks with Microsoft Corp, as investors view the results as proof of a robust online advertising market. Yahoo is entering a critical week as it prepares to report quarterly results on Tuesday and faces a Microsoft-imposed deadline to accept the nearly $43 billion offer. The software maker has cast doubt on whether Yahoo is even worth that much with a weakening U.S. economy and general slowness in the ad industry. Google's strong showing could help its rival Yahoo stand firm on a higher takeover price on hopes Web marketing is more durable in a downturn. Industry analysts say Yahoo's first-quarter results are going to be a major swing factor in its talks with Microsoft. "The one

Talking safety : children and the web

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:12:58 +0100

These days, internet and the new media are part of children's daily lives. But adults don't always know how young people are using these technologies, and the dangers they might be exposing themselves to. To find out from young internet users what their needs are and how best to protect them, the Commission is today holding a European youth forum on internet safety in Brussels to mark its "Safer Internet Day". A group of 27 teenagers from 9 countries will meet the commissioners for information society/media (Viviane Reding) and consumer protection (Meglena Kuneva). It will be a unique opportunity to explain how they use technology like the internet and mobile phones, with the focus on the kind of dangers they encounter, how they respond to them and what action they would recommend.

Introducing MacBook Air. The world's thinnest notebook

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:18:02 +0100

MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable and ultra unlike anything else. But you don't lose inches and pounds overnight. It's the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard. What makes the Air so thin? MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard and large multi-touch trackpad. It's incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises. So many innovations. So little space. The incredible thinness of MacBook Air is the result of numerous size- and weight-shaving innovations. From a slimmer hard
