New Google Search Alerts against Hacked Websites.

Notifications will warn users against web pages that may infect the computer.
On a normal day, you'd visit Google to search about something and click on one of the links in the Search Results. 
But there's no way of knowing if the link you clicked contains malicious code. Last weekend, Google made Search Engine updates live, which includes a new alert feature. From now on the Google Search Results will clearly show notification for hacked websites.

The notice of 'This site may be compromised' helps you avoid the pages that have been compromised with malicious code and spam to attack the visitor's system.

Google Body Browser Flaunts Web3D Tech (HTML 5)

Google Labs has always churned out pretty interested experimental features like Transliteration, Indic Music Search, WalkyTalky, Google Scribe and so on. 
Google has released a new Body Browser experiment that shows a detailed 3D model of the human body in Google Chrome web browser beta. 
Users can view through the anatomical layers of human body, zoom in and navigate to explore the human body parts. 
The new Google Body Browser is pretty commendable for use in a medical education environment. 

Body Browser is supported only by browser with WebGL support. WebGL is a cross-platform web standard for low-level 3D Graphics API exposed through the HTML5 canvas element. This experimental feature lets you identify whether you wish to explore male or female anatomy. Rest is all based on your interests and interactions with the 3D model of a human body. You can click and zoom in to different anatomical layers to see the finite details.

Facebook to use Face Recognition to Tag Photos


Face Recognition technology developed in-house to group similar faces together and make tagging simpler.

Facebook proudly boasts of getting millions of photos uploaded per day compared to photo-upload and sharing service - Flickr. After uploading hundreds of photos, it becomes difficult to tag all your friends. To make that task easier, Facebook has announced new Tag Suggestions feature that automatically suggests who (out of your contacts) should be tagged in the photo from a group of similar photos. 

This feature makes use of Face Recognition technology to group similar looking faces together. Facebook would be rolling out this feature for US region by next week. 


Popular social network Facebook is one of the most favorite hangout for youngsters and an online junction to connect for many. As of now, tagging multiple photos can be a time consuming task. 
With the new Tag Suggestions feature, thanks to Facebook's Face Recognition technology developed in-house, it will automatically show similar photos to be tagged, as soon as you upload a new batch. This is how it is supposed to work.

Suppose you upload photos of your recent college reunion on Facebook. When you wish to tag them, Facebook will groups similar faces together from the photos uploaded and show them with 'Who is this?' suggestion.

Think twice before you post anything on social networking sites.

Social networking sites allow you to express yourself and keep in touch with friends by exchanging messages or comments and posting personal profiles describing who you are and your interests, blogs or online diaries, photos, creative writing, artwork, videos, and music. Instant Messaging (IM) and sharing online profiles are popular forms of social networking.

If practiced safely, there can be many positive aspects of social networking. You can connect with friends and seek like-minded individuals. However, you should understand how posting too much information on your profile and communicating with people you’ve only met online can put you in potential danger.
BEWARE!

DID YOU KNOW???
Some sites and services ask you to post a “profile” with your age, sex, hobbies, and interests. While these profiles help you connect and share common interests, potential exploiters can and do use these profiles to search for victims.
Users may pose as someone else — a different person or a person of a different age — without others knowing. Such users have taken advantage of this and this aspect of social-networking profiles to entice or sexually exploit teens.
You can’t “take back” the online text and images you’ve entered. Once online, “chat” as well as other web postings become public information. Many web sites are “cached” by search engines, and photos and text can be retrieved long after the site has been deleted.
Teens have been punished by their families; denied entry into schools; and even not hired because of dangerous, demeaning, or harmful information found on their personal sites or blogs.

Facebook, Twitter, WordPress Fail Security Report.


Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress have failed a security exam conducted by "security think tank" Digital Society, highlighting old vulnerabilities most recently displayed by the spread of Firesheep.
Gmail and WordPress, which use an encryption and identification process known as SSL, received A's. Google scored a C, Yahoo and Amazon received a C-, and Hotmail and Flickr received a D-.


The main reason Twitter and Facebook failed is because neither uses complete SSL authentication, according to the report. In other words, a user can't know for sure if the authentication page they think they're visiting is actually HTTP. WordPress without SSL, the free version commonly used by personal bloggers, also lacked SSL authentication for logins.

A Facebook spokesman said the company has "been making progress testing SSL access across Facebook and hope to provide it as an option in the coming months."
