We all know how good Facebook can be especially as many of you like to keep in contact with distant friends and family around the world. With that being the case you would surely like to know that even though the massive social network has been making many changes that it still maintains the high level of personal security that we have call come to expect.
As many of you already know, Facebook has gone through some pretty impressive and large changes on their site. Some of them include the post button being removed in favor of the Enter key and also the new Facebook Questions has been successfully rolled out to all users. Now we are hearing that Facebook Photos seem to have become a Security Issue becoming the latest scam and we thought you should know about it.
We learned about the security problem through allfacebook.com’s Jackie Cohen who reports that if you haven’t opted out of photo tagging suggestions on Facebook then you may want to mainly because photos are the new way that Malware and spam is spreading throughout Facebook.
Here at OSM we’ve noticed the growing use and impact of social media, especially so over the last year. We looked at how the youth of today engage more in politics through social media, and recently told of the launch of President Obama’s 2012 Campaign and how social media will be prominently used throughout the campaign. Now we have heard of a poll in Canada that showed 1 in 5 voters now discuss political election issues using social media.
The new Ipsos Reis poll showed that a fifth of voters used social media on a weekly basis to discuss politics, according to Greg Markey of The Vancouver Sun. Traditional news websites as well as sites such as Twitter, Facebook and blogs are used by 21% of Canadians eligible to vote, to debate political policies and issues. However, only 1 in 17 of those do so on a daily basis.
With the whole 3D scene not taking off as well as the big manufacturers would have liked, action has been taken. It is Samsung who have made the move to make their 3 dimensional offerings more appealing by slashing the prices off their glasses and throwing in an extra pair.
One of the biggest turn offs about the 3D TVs is firstly the fact you have to wear glasses, secondly you normally only get 1 or 2 pairs included and thirdly the extra pairs of glasses you have to buy to please the family don’t come cheap. We are not talking cheap cinema plastic here, the flashy active shutter glasses sharply improve the 3D image and can cost up to £100 a pair! Samsung has announced starting from April 24th 2 pairs of glasses will be included in all 3D TVs, as reported by Cnet.
