Phishing is a technique that hackers and cyber criminals often employ to acquire confidential information, such as passwords, social security numbers, credit card info and much more. It is typically done through fake websites that look or feel exactly like the legitimate ones. One of the easiest methods used to hack Facebook accounts is by creating a fake login page, or by redirecting you to one. FB Phishing Protector is a Firefox add-on that protects you from phishing scams carried through XSS injection attacks while you're browsing the social network.

Keep Track Of Facebook Feed Updates With Facebook News Feeds Reader

by on

Numerous updates from Facebook friends are often overlooked due to the enormous size of the Facebook feed. To some extend, this problem can be resolved by using the Facebook subscription feature. However, the problem is that the subscription updates are added to your notifications, which can end up mixing up your personal notifications with that of subscribed accounts. For instance, if someone posted on your wall, and you have subscribed to 20 friends, then your personal wall message notification may become difficult to notice among feed updates from 20 friends.

Orchestra (no, this is not another music-related game for iPhone) is a free iOS app that can be used to create reminders about tasks you want to do in the future. Not only that, you can even dictate tasks to Orchestra verbally, and create new reminders that way.

At the launch of iPhone 4S, Apple proudly highlighted the fact that iPhone’s camera is one of the most used cameras in the world and the origin of most photos on services like Flickr. If so many people are using their iPhone or iPad to share photos over the web, then iOS must focus specifically on photo sharing. Although there have been enhancements in this area with the release of iOS 5, there is still room for further improvement. And that’s where third-party photo-sharing apps like Batch come in.

Discovering new music has been made easier with online Radio stations and music streaming services like Spotiy, Last.fm, Pandora etc. The only problem is with these services you will only ever hear mainstream music. Radio stations play top and trending songs from famous artists. While this might be enough for the average music appetite, for someone who is more of an audiophile, finding great music by lesser known artists is also important. Earbits Radio is a web app that lets you sit back, relax, and stream online radio without any boring ads or commercials. The service features songs from different genres by lesser known artists. Earbits works directly with these artists to bring their work to you. You can go back and forth from one genre to the other, and skip through unlimited tracks. You can also share music with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Read More

Facebook Video Player: Watch Videos & Continue Reading Posts [Chrome]

Sharing videos is just another thing that makes Facebook so addictive. While you may be interested in scrolling through the latest album your friend has uploaded, you will, at the same time, like to enjoy the music they are listening to or perhaps a family video. The only problem is that Facebook’s interface or rather your news feed is not designed to view multiple items at once and that means if you want to read a detailed article or watch a video you have to navigate away from your Facebook page. Videos can be played directly in your feed but you can’t watch it unless you stop scrolling. Facebook Video Player is an extension for Google Chrome that enhances your video-watching experience on the social-networking giant by allowing you to play Facebook videos in a fixed location, to the right side of the page. Using this extension, you no longer have to pause your commenting or wall-posting, since you'll always have the video in front of you. As you click videos, they are all added to this side bar and each one is played in its own media player. Read More

How To Use Siri To Update Your Twitter And Facebook Accounts

Who doesn’t know about iPhone’s latest game-changer, Siri, by now? The voice-based personal assistant lets you perform a variety of tasks on your iPhone 4S without even having to look at your phone’s screen. But still, the tasks that Siri can perform are limited. You can not, for example, ask Siri to go to your Facebook account and update a status for you. Also, there is no direct way of getting Siri to send your tweets to Twitter, either. But we say directly because there is a workaround for that scenario, using which you can simply dictate your tweets or status messages to iOS’s latest addition. You will not need to have a jailbroken iPhone 4S in order to use this method, as this is just a rather clever use of some of Siri's existing functionalities. Read More
