| What Exactly Happens On Facebook After You Click Report Posted: 19 Jun 2012 12:59 PM PDT We all have at one point or another have encountered some stuff on facebook that was not suppose to be there. Could be someone pretending to be a friend or just posting random bullshit about your best friend. The point is that the Report button on facebook is probably used just as much as the like or share button. But privacy has always been a concern for people on Facebook, i mean you are sharing some of the most intimate information with the internet through facebook so the chances of things going awry is very real. So what exactly happens when you click the report button?
Well Facebook has been pretty transparent about its working, and staying true to their ways, they have published a detailed guide to what exactly happens when you press the report button and where exactly and who registers your report. This is what Facebook published for its viewers: “There are dedicated teams throughout Facebook working 24 hours a day, seven days a week to handle the reports made to Facebook. Hundreds of Facebook employees are in offices throughout the world to ensure that a team of Facebookers are handling reports at all times. For instance, when the User Operations team in Menlo Park is finishing up for the day, their counterparts in Hyderabad are just beginning their work keeping our site and users safe. And don’t forget, with users all over the world, Facebook handles reports in over 24 languages. Structuring the teams in this manner allows us to maintain constant coverage of our support queues for all our users, no matter where they are. In order to effectively review reports, User Operations (UO) is separated into four specific teams that review certain report types – the Safety team, the Hate and Harassment team, the Access team, and the Abusive Content team. When a person reports a piece of content, depending on the reason for their report, it will go to one of these teams. For example, if you are reporting content that you believe contains graphic violence, the Safety Team will review and assess the report. And don’t forget, we recently launched our Support Dashboard which will allow you to keep track of some these reports. If one of these teams determines that a reported piece of content violates our policies or ourStatement of Rights and Responsibilities, we will remove it and warn the person who posted it. In addition, we may also revoke a user’s ability to share particular types of content or use certain features, disable a user’s account, or if need be, refer issues to law enforcement. We also have special teams just to handle user appeals for the instances when we might have made a mistake. Content that violates our Community Standards is removed. However there are situations in which something does not violate our terms, but the person still may want it removed. In the past, people reporting such content would see no action when it didn't violate our terms. Starting last year, we launched systems to allow people to directly engage with one another to better resolve their issues beyond simply blocking or unfriending another user. Of particular note, is our social reporting tool that allows people to reach out to other users or trusted friends to help resolve the conflict or open a dialog about a piece of content. It is not only our User Operations Team that provides support to the people who use our service but also our engineers who build tools and flows to help you deal with common problems and help you get back into your account faster. On some rare occasions, users may lose access to their accounts by forgetting their password, losing access to their email or by having their account compromised, to help these people we have built extensive online checkpoints to help these people regain access. By using online checkpoints we can authenticate your identity both securely and quickly, this means there’s no need to wait to exchange emails with a Facebook representative before you can restore access to your account or receive a new password. Be sure to visit www.facebook.com/hacked if you believe your account has been compromised or use the Report links to let us know about an impostor Timeline. And it is not only the people who work at Facebook that focus on keeping our users safe, we also work closely with a wide variety of experts and outside groups. Because, even though we like to think of ourselves as pros at building great social products that let you share with your friends, we partner with outside experts to ensure the best possible support for our users regardless of their issue. These partnerships include our Safety Advisory Board that helps advise us on keeping our users safe to the National CyberSecurity Alliance that helps us educate people on keeping their data and accounts secure. Beyond our education and advisory partners we lean on the expertise and resources of over 20 suicide prevention agencies throughout the world including Lifeline (US/Australia), the Samaritans (UK/Hong Kong), Facebook’s Network of Support for LGBT users, and our newest partner AASARA in India to provide assistance to those who reach out for help on our site. The safety and security of the people who use our site is of paramount importance to everyone here at Facebook. We are all working tirelessly at iterating our reporting system to provide the best possible support for the people who use our site. While the complexity of our system may be bewildering we hope that this note and infographic have increased your understanding of our processes. And, even though we hope you don’t ever need to report content on Facebook, you will now know exactly what happened to that report and how it was routed.” You can also view the entire detailed infographic here.

Boosting the entertainment feel with Dolby Headphones and Dolby Digital plus, the user gets the best of music, games and movies.

| How To Convert Your Facebook Profile Into Pinterest Posted: 19 Jun 2012 11:51 AM PDT Pinterest is a virtual pin board styled social networking site which is mostly used for sharing photos of interior design, fancy dishes and elegant designs. It is basically a place where you put up stuff that u think would be praised by the others. The well ornate houses or the extraordinarily garnished dishes are frequently put up on this website.It has garnered a lot of popularity and recently has more than 80% women users in it which is staggering looking at the overall ratio on all social networking sites. Pinterest has left behind LinkedIn and StumbleUpon in terms of traffic (Alexa traffic rank). Theme-based image collections can also be created and managed by using Pinterest which is again an amazing thing and would interest the women a lot.
Friendsheet is a Facebook app through which your Facebook will look alike as a Pinterest account. It combines the layout and design of Pinterest with the photos of facebook friends. This application shows all public Facebook photos in a compact panel. This is extremely similar to how your experience would be like watching Pinterest board of your own pictures on Facebook.
Each photo is displayed with Captions and comments and the photos can be uploaded using Friendsheet. Facebook CEO who recently married Priscilla Chan liked the Friendsheet facebook application, which was launched in January 2012. So it does seem like that the application has full support of the Facebook hierarchy and we could look forward to the development of this application over a period of time. Also for all those who use Facebook just to browse through pictures of their contacts will find this application rally intuitive, useful and fun to use. Related posts:

| Switchover Makeover- All About Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime Posted: 19 Jun 2012 11:37 AM PDT Is it a tablet? Is it a notebook? No, it’s the transformer prime TF201.

We all saw it coming, didn’t we? A convertible tablet cum laptop and this one does it in style. Powered by the android OS ice cream sandwich(ICS) it is a slender, sleek and ultra portable device when used as a tablet. It effortlessly transforms into a notebook when you need those extra battery hours, additional ports or the keyboard. It sports an aluminum chassis with tapered edges and feels sturdy to hold and carry in both forms. The face is a 10.1 inch super IPS+LCD screen packing in a cool 1280×800 pixel resolution.

There’s a 8 megapixel camera on board that is quite effective in snapping clean high quality images. Specifications that is cloaked under the hood is also impressive.

| Google Soon To Introduce A Competitor For Siri? Posted: 19 Jun 2012 11:12 AM PDT Siri is probably the best assistant anyone has, and only God can foresee how many proposals it would get. Jokes aside, it seems like only yesterday that we saw Tim Cooks introduce us to this lovely feature. Since then it has become almost a fashion quote to be talking to your phone. However, since then we have discovered about a million other voice assistants, none more than the fancy S-voice in the Galaxy S III. Yet Siri has been the undisputed king so far.
However, according to The Wallstreet Journal, Google are working on its own Voice assistant. there is no reported release date or what exactly is this assistant but we do feel that it could be announced as early as the Google I/O in the coming week. However, for S-Voice we know that Samsung had a tie up with Vlingo, but this planned assistant may well work on just about every phone and may have its servers with Google only. This indeed maybe much better than having to download various third party applications such as Vlingo, Iris or Voice Commands which either are ad supported or just not that good. However, there are also suggestions that theis voice assistant maybe only available for those who will be running the next Android OS expected to be named as JellyBean. What are your views about the new Voice assistant? Is it even required? And if you use any of the third party Voice Assistants which one is it? Do let us know in the comments section below.

| What Exactly Was “I Am Rich” Application? Posted: 19 Jun 2012 09:46 AM PDT A controversial $999.99 app called "I am rich" was added by a developer and then was removed after eight people bought it. Well this sounds insane but yes it did happen.”I Am Rich” application was created by developer Armin Heinrich, who said that eight people had purchased it before it was taken off iTunes. The buyers include six people from the United States and one each from France and Germany.
The app does nothing apart from displaying a glowing red gem on a user’s iPhone screen for the sole purpose of proving to onlookers one is of the moneyed class and that they have enormous heaps of cash. Various blogs were able to get the official description, however, which reads in part: “The red icon on your iPhone or iPod Touch always reminds you that you were able to afford this. It’s a work of art with no hidden function at all.” On February 23, 2009, CNET Asia reported a “conceptually similar” application, I Am Richer for Google’s Android smartphone operating system. The app was released on the Android Market for the cost of US$200 which is the maximum limit of any application present on the Android Market. With the same name, the I Am Rich that was released on the Windows Phone Marketplace on December 22, 2010 was developed by DotNetNuzzi. An application which is equally useless as the original, costs US$499.99 which is the maximum for any application available in the Microsoft application store or market. We just thought that we always report applications that you can download and that help you make things better, but there are also equally useless things out there which cost alot. We hope this has been an interesting read. If you also know such trivia do let us know. Related posts:

| Microsoft Announces Surface Tablet Running Windows 8 Posted: 19 Jun 2012 03:53 AM PDT At the recent press event at Los Angeles, Microsoft confirmed its own line of tablets running windows 8 RT and pro versions under the badge name of 'surface'. As of now Microsoft plans to enter the tablet market led by Apple's ipad and a flood of android tablets with two separate 10.6 in models, one sporting an ARM based processor by NVIDIA and the other one with the old x86 architecture rocking an i5 processor. For those of you who have been in the dark, windows RT is the version of windows 8 designed to run specifically on ARM SoC's. Windows RT will not have any backward compatibility, supporting only apps from the Microsoft store designed for the metro interface. On the other hand windows 8 pro is a full fledged OS supporting both metro apps and will be compatible with x86 based software for which the market already exist.
Windows RT surface tablet measures just 9.3 mm thick and weighs under 1.3 pounds. The remarkable feature that makes it stand out of the crowd is the magnetically attached cover which unlike Apple's counterparts is just not a protector but more. Turns out its a full multi touch keyboard and a trackpad. As for expansion you can treat yourself with a HDMI port, a USB 2.0 and a microSD port. Storage the surface comes standard with 32 or 64 gb internal storage and a 31.5 Wh battery.
If you are looking for something with more woof, you can have the intel based surface for windows 8 pro tablet, which packs a larger 42 W-h battery, an Ivy Bridge Core i5 processor , USB 3.0 ports instead of 2.0, and a choice of 64GB or 128GB of storage (double the standard offerings of the RT Surface). You will also be treated with a 1080i display but comes wrapped in a package that’s 13.5 mm thick and weighs 903 grams and it all comes optional with a pen input. The pricing and availability on both these tablets has been kept in the dark for now. Those looking for a complete Windows experience in the form of a tablet will obviously head to the Windows 8 Pro model and those content with new, Metro-style apps engineered for Windows on ARM will likely save a few bucks by selecting that Surface. A lot of quarries remain unanswered like the RAM and specs of the processors. That and more will have to wait for now.
