Short Tutorial - How To Stop The @facebook.com Address From Showing Up On Your Timeline

Facebook recently began shifting the default addresses of its almost 900 million users from the email addresses they chose when signing up on the site to their Facebook addresses, which are the "username@facebook.com" ones. This has many users concerned, in part because some security experts believe those @facebook.com addresses are even more attractive to spammers and other cyber-
criminals.

Scan for a special offer from Nex-Tech QR Codes: What's in the Box?

The next time you buy something from the store, read a magazine or receive an advertisement in the mail, you may notice a strange geometric box. These boxes, called QR codes or Quick Response codes, are two-dimensional bar codes which link you effortlessly to a company's website. Developed in 1994 in Japan, they are growing in popularity worldwide for consumer products and advertisements.

 

QR codes are used in a wide range of applications to provide more information about a product. Scan a code on the plant you are thinking of buying, and you'll likely find information about sun requirements, watering instructions and preferred soil type. A code on your ketchup bottle will provide nutritional information.

All well-trafficked social media sites draw spammers trying to reel in unsuspecting users, and Pinterest is no exception. In fact, because of its rapid growth and heavy retail focus, Pinterest is especially attractive to spammers. (In case you're unfamiliar with Pinterest, it's a virtual bulletin board where you can "pin" images, share things you like with others, follow people you like, and have others follow you.)
