| Posted: 11 Sep 2014 03:30 PM PDT  Facebook’s Privacy Cleanup tool has triggered a massive push in profile cleanups, which is great, however some people are following up with a cleanup trend and not liking the results too much. The new trend for “cleaning up” Facebook profiles is often by un-liking every single page, deleting all apps and fixing a few privacy settings. However, this approach leads to unmanageable home feeds as Facebook will re-recommend all of those pages and apps back to you, with no real way of avoiding the recommendations. What a nightmare! With that in mind, there are some better ways to “clean up”... Read the full article: Cleaning Up Your Facebook Profile: What The New Facebook Cleanup Tool Won’t Do [Weekly Facebook Tips] |
| The Fundamental Advantages Of Using A Chromebook Posted: 11 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT  If you look at the readers’ comments for a Chromebook article, either on MakeUseOf or elsewhere, you’ll quickly reach one conclusion above all else – Chromebooks are highly divisive. Whether you see a long discussion about how useful Chromebooks are when used offline, a tirade against the lack of specialist software, or a stream of comments from the device’s advocates, it’s instantly apparent that a consensus about Google’s offering is a long way from materialising. It’s unlikely that this article’s comments will be any different. Nonetheless, if we were commenting on articles, you’d find us camped deep inside the advocates...

It’s long been known that frequent electrical storms and power outages can damage electronic devices or full-out destroy them, and that includes computers.

| Metadata – The Information About Your Information Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Do you care about your privacy? You should. Or are you one of those people that thinks, "I've got nothing to hide, so they can look at whatever they want!" Sorry, you may have something to hide and not even know it. "What?", you ask, "I just told you I have nothing to hide. I’ve never done anything against the law." That's not the point. What if someone could tell that you were going to have credit problems before you knew? Could they deny your loan or quote you higher interest rates? What if someone knew that you were having medical problems even...

| Top 15 Firefox OS Apps: The Ultimate List For New Firefox OS Users Posted: 11 Sep 2014 06:00 AM PDT  “There is an app for that”. Of course there is an app for that: It’s web technology after all.

Approximately 50,000 devices have been sold already, and it is expected to reach 500,000 by the end of November for the Intex Cloud FX Device alone. Yes, Firefox OS...
