Facebook Introduces Disposable Passwords Facebook provides a number of ways to help you protect yourself and your account, and today we are announcing new features to help make your experience on Facebook more secure. First, we're launching one-time passwords to make it safer to use public computers in places like hotels, cafes or airports. If you have any concerns about security of the computer you're using while accessing Facebook, we can text you a one-time password to use instead of your regular password. Simply text "otp" to 32665 on your mobile phone (U.S. only), and you'll immediately receive a password that can be used only once and expires in 20 minutes. In order to access this feature, you'll need a mobile phone number in your account. We're rolling this out gradually, and it should be available to everyone in the coming weeks. Second, the ability to sign out of Facebook remotely is now available to everyone. These session controls can be useful if you log into Facebook from a friend's phone or computer and then forget to sign out. From your Account Settings, you can check if you're still logged in on other devices and remotely log out. Under the Account Security section of your Account Settings page you'll see all of your active sessions, along with information about each session. In the unlikely event that someone accesses your account without your permission, you can also shut down the unauthorized login before resetting your password and taking other steps to secure your account and computer.

skype 5 for windows is available for download now with facebook integration & WebP (Google’s new image format for the web) JPEG is currently the most widely used image format in the world. It is a lossy compression method used since over a decade and has been working great. "Not exactly" thinks Google and decides to rewrite a completely new image format for the web which it claims to generate 40% smaller image files than JPEGS with undistinguishable difference in the quality of the image. Google calls it ‘WebP’ (file extension .webp). According to Google, 65% of the data floating on the internet at any given time is actually an image. And about 80% of these images are JPEGS. With the new WebP format, based on the VP8 codec that Google introduced in May 2010, Google expects faster image transfers over the internet. Even though WebP is a lossy compression method, it fares really well when it comes to file size without affecting much of the quality. For More Details:- http://goo.gl/7NDI
