Facebook privacy policies changes applicable from 2013
The social network detailed the changes last week in a company blog post. Users will now see a “privacy shortcut” menu at the top of every Facebook page that give answers to three basic questions: who can see users’ posts, who can contact a specific user and information on how to block individual users on the site.Other new features in the update include a sortable activity log that lets users choose to see their actions on the site by type. For example, a user who is particularly concerned about photos they’ve recently uploaded to the site can choose to only look at those updates. In the case of photos in particular, users can also choose to remove tags associated with their names from multiple photos at once.
Reminders about the differences between removing something from a user’s news feed and a user’s timeline profile are also sprinkled throughout the site. One of Facebook’s aims in pushing out the redesign was to make those distinctions more clear.
The social network continues to make changes in an effort to provide users with clear, easy-to-use ways of managing their data and allaying fears about what Facebook does with data, Facebook officials said.
In a recent vote, over half a million people voted against new Facebook privacy policies that among other changes eliminated the voting mechanism. That still wasn’t enough for Facebook to take the suggestions of its users, as the site used to require 30 percent of its billion users to weigh in before agreeing to make changes based on a vote.

What makes the Paceman stand out from the rest of the Mini lineup is its new color LCD screen in the center of the dash, where previous Minis featured an analogue speedometer. The standard Paceman is a hip and youthful progression of the ever-growing brand. The John Cooper Works version adds some additional testosterone into the Mini Paceman mix.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga ( IPY) features, Windows8, Images , Wall Papers, tech Knowledge Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga features :
The new tablet from Lenovo features Windows 8 operating system and has Intel's dual core chipset as its processor. The tablet has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD hard disk. Lenovo claims the IdeaPad Yoga to be the thinnest tablet with 16.9 mm thickness and 1.47 kg of weight.
The IdeaPad Yoga offers 8 hours of Battery life. The design features include side buttons for quick and easy access, soft rubber coated exterior for extra grip and leather cover palm rest. The IdeaPad Yoga can be folded flat and has a 13.1 inch HD+ (1600 x 900 pixel) screen, which is bigger than any other tablet.
The multi-touch HD screen along with a super fast processor brings you a whole new experience of tablet handling. Due to its size, the tablet can also be used as a replacement for a laptop, but, the potability factor which the smaller tablets offer, will be missing in the IdeaPad Yoga. The efficiency of the tablet is quite evident with its specs, however, we would get to know the disadvantages of this device only when put into practical use.

Facebook users in US Charge one dollar For Non friend Massage
Facebook users in US Charge one dollar For Non friend Massage | Facebook news Updates 2013
Facebook users in US maybe charged a one-time fee of one dollar to send a message to another user's inbox who they aren't friends with, in a new option that is being tested by the social media firm.
Currently, if you send a Facebook message to someone you're not connected to, it may end up in the 'Other' tab, an oft-overlooked subsection of the inbox that basically serves as a spam folder, depending on whether you have mutual connections.
With the new option, however, you would be able to pay a premium to ensure the message ends up in the main inbox where it is likely to be seen by the recipient, Stuff.co.nz reports.
According to the report, Facebook said users will have the option to mark the incoming message as spam and move it to the 'Other' tab, which means the sender will be unable to reach their inbox afterwards.
However, if the recipient doesn't take any action, the sender will be able to continue messaging that user's inbox an unlimited number of times after paying the one-time fee, the report said.
"Today we're starting a small experiment to test the usefulness of economic signals to determine relevance. This test will give a small number of people the option to pay to have a message routed to the Inbox rather than the Other folder of a recipient that they are not connected with," Facebook said in a blog post.
The feature has only been turned on in the US so far, but the company added: "We'll continue to iterate and evolve Facebook Messages over the coming months.
Facebook is billing the change as an attempt to crack down on spam by seeing if "imposing a financial cost on the sender" serves as a deterrent to sending unwanted messages, the report added.

Vodafone India 2013 News extend its 900 megahertz (MHz) operating licenses for Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata
Vodafone India 2013 |Invoking a clause of the license agreement, Vodafone India is all set to extend its 900 megahertz (MHz) operating licenses for Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata telecom zones.
According to reports, the telco took this decision despits despite the Indian government earlier approving the proposal to re-auction the licenses after the existing ones expire in November 2014. The company is looking to extend its operating licenses by another 10 years.
A news daily reported that "the telco had invoked clause 4.1 of the license agreement, which states the government can extend the period of license by 10 years at one time if the request is made by the operator during the 19th year of the license period."
However, the licensor's decision on the matter "shall be final in regard to the grant of extension", which would indicate that Vodafone is at the will of the Indian government, the report said.
Earlier, the government had announced to re-auction the 900MHz operating licenses once the band becomes available again. The date, however, is yet to revealed. Operators may still hold 2.5MHz of spectrum in each telecom zone they had previously been operating in after paying a market-determined price, while the rest will be put to sale, the repport said.
Last month, Vodafone India said that the government needs to create a level playing field between private operators and state run entities BSNL and MTNL regarding the onetime spectrum fees.
"BSNL and MTNL have a lot of spectrum and they don't use it very efficiently. Also, if I have to pay thousands of crores in spectrum fee while the competitor doesn't, to me that's not level playing field. There have to be same rules," Vodafone India managing director and chief executive officer Marten Pieters had told reporters.
Though Pieters declined to make specific comments on the 2G auction, he said that driven by the outcome of the auction and licence extension, there will be a lot of clarity in the regulatory environment going forward.
"In the last few months, we have seen a lot of decisions being made by the government, which is good. But a lot more needs to be done," he added.
