Analysis: False. Prank messages threatening Internet users with deletion or cancellation if they don't prove their accounts are "active" date back to 1999. There's nothing original about this hoax except that as of 2007 it found its way onto a new platform: Facebook.

For the record, Facebook officials have made no such announcement. Moreover, businesses operating on this scale don't issue misspelled and ungrammatical chain letters to their members. Even if they did, they wouldn't say they "need to get rid of some people" to make room for everyone else.

File this message in the trash bin where it belongs.

Official statement from Facebook:

We will never use any of the following methods to tell you information, or ask for you to take an action:
•Your Wall
•An inbox message from a friend—in other words, chain letters.
•Messages spread through Applications—if an application is telling you that Facebook is about to shut down, report it.
Since there's been a lot of wrong information about Facebook spreading around, we'd like to clarify a few things for the record:

•We are not shutting down accounts that are not "active" enough.
•We are not going to start charging you to use Facebook.
•We will never ask you to send us your password or login information.
•We will never put the responsibility on YOU to send information to your friends. If we have information we need to share, it's our job to get the word out.
•When we do communicate to you about the site (with the exception of posts made on this blog) it will always be from a collective Facebook. You won't hear from me, personally, or from Mark, or from Dustin, or from any of the Facebook bloggers you've seen here.

New GTA 5 Trailer

This new trailer about Grand Theft Auto 5 shows how Bryan, a young successful business man, suddenly realized that his long time partner, Patrick, is nowhere to be found or contacted. He became very desperate because he borrowed a lot of money from a loan shark to finance his business, and most of that money is still in Patrick’s hands. And then things got a bit more complicated when a man who wants to talk about the payment for his debt is waiting for him outside of his apartment.

Nanotechnology and Mobile Devices !

Nanotechnology and Mobile Devices

Nanotechnology is a field of science dealing with the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular levels, usually 100 nanometers or smaller, and the fabrication of materials and devices at that scale.


For many years technology companies have envisaged devices created using nanotechnology. Nokia believe that nanotechnology has the potential to radically change the way we view and use mobile devices within 7 years. They've recently launched a concept device to show us just what nanotechnology will do for our mobile experience.

In February 2008 they launched the Morph, a nanotechnology concept device developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK).




Just about everyone has spilled something on their mobile at one time or another. Well, with the Morph that won't be a problem. The Morph will be superhydrophobic making it extremely dirt repellent. So that ketchup, or whatever it is you spill on your Morph, will just run right off.

Don't you just hate the way you have to keep charging your mobile. Well the Morph will solve that problem too. It will be able to charge itself from available light sources using photovoltaic nanowire grass covering it's surface. Nanowire grass will have far greater surface area than traditional materials, allowing our solar cells to become much smaller. And it's not just mobile devices that will benefit from this technology. Buildings could soon be generating their power from panels of nanowire grass.





Not sure about the food in that restaurant? What if your mobile had built in sensors that could detect specific chemical compounds in the air? You could simply wave it over the en tray and dine with an easy mind. It seems our mobiles will become ever more invaluable in the future.

Did you realize that nanoscale electronics become invisible to the human eye? This has the potential to deliver totally transparent devices. Imagine wafer thin screens. In fact, the electronics that run the entire T.V. could be built into the those wafer thin screens.




Nanoscale electronics also allow stretching. Nokia envisage that a nanoscale mesh of fibers, as strong as spider silk, will allow our mobile devices to be bent, stretched and folded into any number of conceivable shapes.

Here the Morph is viewed in a standard looking mobile configuration and in a "Wrist Mode". Perhaps you're not sure if that green will go with any of your outfits? Well not to worry. Just use the built in high definition camera and assign the pattern from your favorite dress as Morph's wallpaper.

Haptic technology will allow the Morph's surface to become context specific. Displaying real 3D buttons at one moment, while becoming flat as a pancake the next.

According to Nokia, connecting people will become a lot more interesting in the future.

paypal not hacked !

PayPal - have not been hacked Web payments firm setting the story straight.
There were some media reports in the latter part of the last week that PayPal had been hacked, and that PayPal account information had been made public by attackers. The company has responded to the claims, asserting with authority that, "the PayPal site has not been breached or hacked in any way."

In reality, a group of hackers claimed to have compromized another site, which PayPal points out is "less secure." From the breached website, the attackers mined usernames and passwords of a number of accounts. Upon releasing the information publicly, the hackers suggested that people try accessing personal online accounts on websites using the same credentials, and PayPal was listed as a suggestion.

So there was no breach of PayPal's system, instead the hackers were just suggesting that some users would have used the same password as they did for the compromised website.

"PayPal's security team became aware of this particular security situation early on and proactively began monitoring a number of accounts for suspicious activity, in order to protect our customers," the company stated.

"PayPal always safeguards our customers from qualified unauthorized payments sent from their accounts. We regularly monitor for unusual activity on accounts and will work directly with customers if they suspect their accounts have been accessed fraudulently.

Top 5 Websites To Learn How To Hack Like A Pro

Whether you’re a college student, a middle-aged networking guru or a wife and mother fascinated by the world of online games – everyone occasionally comes across a situation where some form of hacking would make life a whole lot easier.
Maybe you’ve lost the license that came with your legitimate software package that you paid for. Maybe you want to make a backup copy of your favorite DVD movie, but there’s copy-protection encoded onto the disk. Or maybe you’re just stuck on a popular online game and you want to know if there are any hacks available to level up in the game without the required effort.
Whatever your specific needs or situation – I’m not here to judge. In the field of computers and Internet technologies, just about everything is written in one programming language or another. No programmer is perfect – they all make mistakes. There are back doors, secret codes and vulnerabilities in just about any application you come across. Because of that, if you learn how to hack on your own, or just following the efforts of active hacking communities can provide you with tremendous eye-opening insight into the inner-workings of even your most “trusted” software applications.

Where You Can Go To Learn How To Hack Like a Pro

One thing that’s obvious when you visit the websites where professional hackers hang out – there’s so much about programming that even the most seasoned professional programmers don’t know. Professional hackers are an exceptional, amazing and terrible breed of individuals all packaged into one. While I write this, I realize that I am also describing over half of our readership – you know who you are! These folks take programming to an extreme that’s simply astounding when you see it in actionWhile many of us write applications using all of the standard techniques that you learn in programming classes in college, these folks take programming into a realm where there are no rules. They can test all aspects of an application until they find a chink in the armor, and then exploit those vulnerabilities.
As we explore the world of hacking, it should be noted that there are two major forms of hacking – we’ll call it “white hat” and “black hat.” The “white hat” hackers call themselves “ethical hackers,” in that they find vulnerabilities and exploits only to make the programming and application communities more secure for everyone. However, there’s a whole other community of hackers who find vulnerabilities to do nothing more than exploit them as much as humanly possible. Now that you know what sort of community you may be entering, let’s get on with the list of top sites where you can learn how to hack.

#1 – CyberXtreme: Hacking and Warez

CyberXtreme is an impressive forum with a significant hacking section, but also entire sections on technology, graphics and even a tech support area. Here you’ll find cracks, secret codes, free download packages (some containing cracked software which may be illegal to download in your area, so be careful). The forum is very protective of its content, so you’ll have to register with a valid email address before you can even get a glimpse of the content that’s on the forums.

The hacking section is very detailed and, as shown above, includes not only free tools and software exploits, but if you want to learn some coding tricks from the resident hacking gurus, just enter the “Coding & Programming” forum and you’ll get your fill. Before long you’ll be writing up your own customized hacking tools!

#2 – EvilZone Hacking Forums

While the name, EvilZone, isn’t exactly the most inviting – it is easily one of the largest forum communities that you’ll find on the subject of hacking. With over 6,500 members and over 100,000 posts (and counting), this community likely has the skills and knowledge to answer any programming question you could possibly have. Just be careful about coming across as a “noob” – these guys don’t handle newcomers with kid gloves, so be careful.

You’d definitely be best off working through the programming and encyclopedia sections first, where you’ll find projects, tutorials and a lot more that will help you become educated and well-versed in hacking techniques and terminology.

#3 – Hack a Day

While I certainly don’t want to offer a nod to any blogs that may be considered competition, you really have to give credit where credit is due when it comes to a particular niche like hacking – and Hack a Day definitely offers an amazing library of information for anyone looking for specific categories like cellphones, GPS or digital cameras. You’ll find all hacks organized by category in the right column.

More than any other site, this particular “hacking” site is very much hardware based, and they redefine the meaning of the word hacking by literally hacking up electronic devices like a Gameboy or a digital camera and completely modifying it. Of course you’ll still find the occasional software hack, such as how to remove the Blackberry download limit.

While I personally don’t find the articles themselves very detailed (as an EE, I like schematics and elaborate descriptions) – but the site makes up for it with video demonstrations throughout.

#4 – Hack In The Box

If any site could be classified as the most comprehensive site to learn how to hack, this would be it. Hack In The Box is more about security and ethical hacking than anything else – and that’s more than obvious reviewing the classes and conferences listed on the main page.

The manage page is an informational portal that includes information from all other areas, including recent forum posts, conference updates, E-zine and news articles and a lot more. To be honest, there’s so much information stuffed on the main page that it’s almost overwhelming.

There’s a lot of material available, but if you’ve so interested in learning how to hack that you wouldn’t mind paying to attend a class or a conference – then this is the place to do it.

#5 – Hack This Site!

As always, saving the best for last – I’d like to introduce Hack This Site! This website is one of the coolest, free programmer training sites where you can learn how to hack accepting one of the challenges.

The site designers offer various “missions,” where you need to figure out the vulnerability of a site and then attempt to use your new-found hacking skills (you’ve carefully studied all of the articles on the site, right?) to hack the web page. Missions include Basic, Realistic, Application, Programming and many others.

If you’re able to figure out how to properly hack any of the most difficult missions on this site, then you’ve definitely earned the title of professional hacker.
Have you ever tried any of the tips offered at any of these websites and do they work? Do you have any good resources of your own for readers to learn how to hack like the pros? Share your insight in the comments section below.
