Social net means more information with less effort

Due Credit: DailyBits
Social networks have today made the job of social engineering all that more easier. Social engineering is the process by which individuals gather information on other individuals so as to use the data to try to crack into personal and private accounts.
It is common knowledge that information pertaining to DOB, school etc gets into people's passwords ( how are you expected to remember it otherwise). This information is also available on people's public profiles and now there are all too many of them spread across various networks and also searchable via the web.

Hence, from the security perspective it makes sense to refrain from publishing information that may perhaps be food for thought in terms of social engineering.

YouTube and Picasa on your television

Due Credit: DailyBits
Google and Matsushita are working in collaboration to bring the popular services on the web to television. Soon you will be having access to videos from YouTube and images from Picasa accessible on you TV.
Convergence of media from the web with popular devices has been long predicted. But the importance here is for quality. The videos on YouTube are generally of poor quality and beaming them on high definition TVs does not really improve matters a lot.
But the fact is that poor videos are due to bandwidth issues and that is scaling up so in course of time these issues will sort out and lets not forget that the TV audience is another big pool of viewers to sell ads to.
