Facebook and Google tied up with CIA for tracking users

Mark Zuckerberg about Privacy: 

Remember when Mark Zuckerberg said you need to get over the fact that there is no privacy on the internet? He meant it.

Operation with CIA :

Hacker and writer Nik Cubrilovic has a post on his blog today revealing some really scary and downright police state Stasi-like aspects of the popular “service” that doubles as a data-mining operation for the CIA.

Facebook Cookie Tracking :

Cubrilovic writes that Facebook keeps track of every website destination you visit, even if YOU ARE LOGGED OUT OF FACEBOOK. It does this through the cookies it routinely plants on your computer.

Cubrilovic explains: “With my browser logged out of Facebook, whenever I visit any page with a Facebook like button, or share button, or any other widget, the information, including my account ID, is still being sent to Facebook. The only solution to Facebook not knowing who you are is to delete all Facebook cookies… It is all hidden in plain sight.”

Google Cookie Tracking:

What about Google+, Facebook’s competition? Same thing. Google+ has something called “Web History,” billed as a service to “search across the full text of the pages you’ve visited, including Google searches, web pages, images, videos and news stories,” according to Google.

Google connection with CIA and other security Agencies:

Google says you can disable this “feature,” but don’t believe them. Google, like Facebook, is in bed with the CIA. In fact, Google’s search technology is preferred by spook and snoop agencies, including the NSA.

Be Careful !!! You are being tracked!!!

MeeGo says "I am Going!", Tizen says,"Welcome me guys!"

What is MeeGo?

           Basically, MeeGo is a mobile OS introduced by a joint venture of Intel and Nokia.It is an an open-source Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open-source activity. It includes performance optimisations and features which enable the development of computational and graphically oriented applications and connected services, support for Internet standards, easy-to-use development environment based on Qt, and state-of-the-art Linux stack optimised for the size and capabilities of small footprint platforms and mobile devices. MeeGo currently targets platforms such as netbooks and entry-level desktops, handheld computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, connected TVs, and media phones.

Who we(a)re using MeeGo?

    Acer,AMD,Amino,Asus,Intel,Hancom,Gameloft,Mandriva.Nokia, pixArt and lot more!

What's in the news?

    First Nokia kicked MeeGo to the curb, and now Intel has scorned it too. Instead, the chipmaker's attentions have now turned to Tizen, an open source mobile OS that focuses on HTML5 support. The company sees the future in HTML5, and Tizen was the way to go. In the next couple months, Intel will work to make sure MeeGo developers can get through the transition.

So, Back again.. What's Tizen? 

  

      Tizen is yet another mobile OS,that combines the best open source technologies from LiMo and The Linux Foundation and includes HTML5 based web development environment, which most of the developers think the future.

What's in the news about Tizen?

    As soon as Intel planned to drop out MeeGo,it does not want to lose all its efforts on MeeGo. Thus it started its search for a new partner and got Samsung as the one. Thus born the new Mobile OS, Tizen.

      With the help of Linux Foundation and Limo Foundation, Tizen has evolved with the new technology HTML5 as its power to beat others. Yes, Tizen applications will be based on HTML5!But will be backward compatible with existing MeeGo applications. Intel is planning to use their AppUp Center for supplying apps for Tizen.

For Who Are All Looking Forward To It ? 

       Tizen is set to come to lights in early 2012 with the first device and SDK being released.

Amazon's Silk Browser in Kindle Fire - 20 times faster But a Privacy threat

One of the most unexpected features of Amazon’s new Kindle Fire was that it shipped with an all-new web browser, Amazon Silk – speeded up ’20 times’ by the power of Amazon’s ‘cloud’ computing servers.

But the processes the Kindle Fire uses to ‘speed things up’ are already setting off privacy alarm bells.


Writing on Naked Security, a blog for British computer security firm Sophos, senior security adviser Chester Wisniewski said:

"All web connections from your tablet will connect directly to Amazon, rather than the destination web page. Amazon will keep this connection between your Kindle Fire and EC2 open indefinitely while you are actively surfing, reducing the latency and connection times to retrieve web pages… Hopefully you can start to see the problem here. All of your web surfing habits will transit Amazon's cloud."

He also wrote , ‘If you think Google AdWords and Facebook are watching you, this service is guaranteed to have a record of EVERYTHING you do on the web.’

 Kindle Fire started getting Critics from Privacy analyst all through the world because of Silk.
