Facebook Launches A New Feature That Tracks Friends Location

The new feature face book has called “Nearby Friends” will be able to find friends location easily anywhere in the world.

See that phone you are always moving with?. Yea that one. It always knows where you are. That’s why the government or your network operator like MTN,Airtel and the rest can track you any where when you have your phone with you. Well now, it doesn't have to be just the government and your network operator that can see exactly where you are. Any facebook friend can know where you are in a few clicks on Facebook's iOS and Android apps, however will only work for select locations at first.

How this feature works? Nearby friends taps into that steady stream of location information so friends can track each other in real time. The idea is to make it easy for people to meet up in real life, so they can have conversations in person instead of comment threads.

However for your peace of mind, the nearby friends feature is not turned on by default so if you don’t like your friends tracking you, don’t enable it. Friends will not be able to see where you are unless you decide to allow live-tracking in your Face book’s settings. Making a potentially non invasive feature because you can choose to share your general location with all your Face book friends, close friends or a customized list of people you feel most comfortable with.

The Moment this new feature is turned on, the Nearby Friends feature; Facebook starts collecting data on your exact location and keeps details on where you've been in the past, not just places where you've used its app to check in. It also collects location information even when the Facebook app is closed but you can turn off this location history in the Facebook app's settings. It's possible to delete individual locations from a history, or clear the whole thing and start from scratch. There is an option to share your exact location with specific friends, which can be handy for coordinating large groups at concerts or finding someone in a crowded area. Your friends will see a little image of your face on a map for a set period of time.

I have to say however - This is not the first time an application like this has come about. Apps like Highlight, which got a flood of interest in 2012, mapped out the locations of nearby strangers. Facebook also purchased a startup in 2012 called Glancee that also connected strangers. Combined, this is the technology that evolved into this new application and more private feature:”Nearby friends”.

Windows XP Is Officially Dead But Most Bank ATM'S Sill Use It

Banks scramble to replace Windows XP as microsoft drops support for it.But An estimated 95% of the world’s ATMs still run the 12-year-old operating system. Over 420,000 ATMs are now easy targets for hackers

On 8th April 2014, Microsoft officially dropped support for Windows XP. Despite being ancient in operating system years, XP is still used by anywhere about 95% world wide and about 98% of ATM's here in Uganda 
Statistics says it’s unclear what might happen to all those XP-fueled ATM's, but it’s possible that hackers could take advantage of the system’s openings to steal your card number and pin when you try to take out money.Big banks like Back lays Bank and Crane Bank are more likely to upgrade their systems to keep their customers safe. However it’s unlikely the ATM at your local town especially in the village towns are going to drop the kind of cash it coasts for the upgrade. Plus there's no upgrade that will help any machine made over ten years ago: they’ll just have to be replaced.

ATMs aren’t the only piece of everyday life that uses XP either. Nearly 10 percent of the computers in the US government run the operating system, and nearly 85 percent of the computers in the National Health Service in the U.K. rely on it. Almost half the people in China using a desktop or tablet computer are running XP. Without support for the operating system, any computer running it could become an easy target.

As a user, there's really not much to do to protect yourself from any of these problems, either. While you can upgrade your computer, you can’t control what your local ATM is up to. It might be worth checking to see if they’ve made any changes to keep malware from stealing your information when you try to take out a few bucks. And for the OpenSSL bug, GigaOm writes about the very limited options for what web users can do to make sure their information is safe:

All in all. I hop all our ATMs will soon have the upgrade they need for us all to have that sence of safty.

Yahoo Thretens To Block Facebook & Google

It's True Yahoo is going to remove the option to sign into any of Yahoo’s services with a Facebook or Google account, both options which have been available for years.

The company will be starting with “Yahoo Sports Tourney Pick ‘Em,” a fantasy college basketball service, and it says it will eventually remove Facebook and Google sign-in buttons from all its products.

Yahoo believes that its services are now attractive enough that Facebook and Google account holders can be compelled to switch — or at least that those who might turn their back on Yahoo now aren’t as valuable as those who stay.

Genuine Yahoo IDs might make users more likely to use other Yahoo services, and their activity can be tracked and experience personalized more easily. Recently, Yahoo freed up a number of new Yahoo usernames.

“This new process, which now asks users to sign in with a Yahoo username, will allow us to offer the best personalized experience to everyone.” a yahoo representative said.

Hope fully it's for the best. Just sit tight and wait.
