SHALLOW HACKER ㋡

A freind of mine made a comment (on Facebook) that he thinks social sites are "a fashion" and won't be where we get all out info from. He's right I guess (or is he?) but the point is that this got me thinking about where social media is really headed. We all know things chop and change at an incredible rate here on planet internet(/webz/whateverz) and tomorrow's Facebook and Google+ sure ain't gonna look much like it does today (well litterally it will, but not figuratively.. doh, you know what I mean ;-). What I envisage is the following. Our actual social profile will be a metaphorical cloud that hovers above all the social sites we interact with, e.g. Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ (to take these as examples). What on earth am I talking about? Well let's look at it from my personal perspective as a social media user. Why do I use social media? To interact with others of course. Other people, other brands, other celebrities (maybe). Do I r...

Do the following: Go to "About This Mac" (top left under the Apple logo) Click "More Info..." Choose "AirPort" on the left-hand side (in the "Network" section) On the right-hand side look for "Card Type = AirPort Extreme" The "Firmware Version" underneath should indicate what chipset you have. E.g. "Broadcom BCM43xx"  Hopefully this will help you out. Maybe you want to know this because you're hoping to use Aircrack to do some WEP cracking :). This page lists compatible aircrack chipsets .

This is a quick heads up for Blogger bloggers that may have missed it. Blogger now lets you easily switch on an option to present your mobile readers with a special mobile formatted version of your blog. If you've ever read stuff on a mobile device that's not formatted for mobile you'll know how annoying it can sometimes be navigating a non mobiel-friendly web site, even with mobile browsers like Opera doing a good job at solving that issue. To switch on the mobile template view in Blogger, just Go to your blog's "Settings" tab Click "Email & Mobile" Then where it says "Mobile Template (beta)" choose "Yes" and your done! You can hit the "Mobile Preview" button to see what your blog will look like too.

There's nothing ground breaking here. But if you haven't got these Facebook setting switched on you should do so now! In Facebook click Account in the top right corner. Click " Account Settings ". On the My account page click "Account security" Check all the boxes and click the "Save" button. By the way, if you haven't given your mobile number to Facebook yet you'll need to do this before you can get SMS alerts, or you can just leave the "Send me a text message" box unchecked. Also! - once you turn these security settings on your iPhone Facebook app might be messed up. But don't worry! Just follow the 3 steps in my previous post here  to sort that out.

If you are getting an error every time you try to login to the Facebook app on your iPhone, try this solution. Go to http://www.facebook.com/iphone On the left-hand side (you may need to scroll down) click "Remove app" Now try logging in again on your iPhone. Source I found the solution here: http://goo.gl/LPYEu So what caused the problem?.. Not exactly sure, but this started happening right after I update my Facebook security setting. I had turned on HTTPS and had activated alerts for when a new computer or mobile device logged in to my account. One of these settings must have caused it.
