For those who have facebook account, be aware of what information you have put up in your profile.

Users of the popular social networking website Facebook have been warned that they are putting themselves at risk of identity fraud by posting even a handful of their details online.

According to the BBC's consumer rights television program Watchdog, fraudsters could open bank accounts and receive credit cards armed simply with the information found on a user's Facebook page.

The show created a user named "Amba Friend", posted a cartoon picture of a girl in her 20s on the fictional user's Facebook profile page, and contacted 100 people at random inviting them to be her friend.

Of those, 35 replied, despite knowing nothing of "Amba Friend", thereby giving program-makers personal details shared on the networking website.

One of the people who accepted the fictional character as their friend was Scott Gould, 23, whose Facebook entry contained his date of birth and home town, which the Watchdog team used to find other information on publicly available websites.

Armed with just those details, they were able to open an online bank account in his name, and successfully applied for a credit card.

"A lot of people using Facebook are trying to increase the size of their network and want to have as many friends as possible - to the point where they'll befriend people they don't even know," a program spokeswoman said.

"The program will show what easy prey they are for identity thieves."

It is possible for members to adjust privacy settings to protect information from fraudsters, but Watchdog said that many users fail to do so.

Facebook says that some 200,000 people sign up to Facebook every day, and the site has more than 42 million members - it decided last month to publicly list its members' profiles on search engines such as Google and Yahoo!, unless a user actively opts out of the scheme.

Scary Hurricane!

SOUTH POINT, Hawaii - Hours after getting jolted by a moderate earthquake, residents of Hawaii's Big Island holed up for a different force of nature Tuesday: Hurricane Flossie, expected to deliver up to 10 inches of rain, waves as high as 25 feet and strong winds in a powerful but glancing blow.

The storm comes on the heels of a 5.4-magnitude earthquake centered 25 miles south of Hilo. The quake Monday night caused a small landslide, but there were no reports of injuries or structural damage, said Tom Brown, a spokesman for Hawaii County Civil Defense.

More than two dozen aftershocks followed, the largest measuring magnitude 3.2, said Jim Kauahikaua, scientist in charge at the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Ever wonder when we will be having tinier camera, mobile phone, etc? With this new technology, we will be soon using more handy devices.

researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and MIT have developed a new material that eliminates the need for a multilayer battery. They grew carbon nanotubes on a silicon substrate and impregnated the gaps between the tubes with cellulose—that's right, plain old paper. The cellulose also covered the ends of the nanotubes, but once it had dried, the paper material could be peeled off of the silicon substrate, leaving one end of the carbon nanotubes exposed to form an electrode.

By putting two sheets of paper together with the cellulose side facing inwards (and a drop of electrolyte on the paper), a supercapacitor is formed.

The European Union (EU) are looking at reforming English spelling in a five year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English". The goal is to standardise English spelling so that non-native speakers can learn English spelling more easily.
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". This should reduse any synisism about the plan. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

The letter "x" will be replased by "ks" and the "-ed" ending on verbs with "-t" or "-et". Although only sometimes spelt and pronounst as "t", in the interests of konsistensy, all "-ed" words will be spelt this way.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspektet to reach the stage where more komplikatet changes are possible. The EU will enkorage the removal of double leters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they should go away.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" wiz "v".

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropt from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem of a unite t urop vil finali kum tru!

Ryu Hayabusa battles baddies in a screen shot from "Ninja Gaiden Sigma".

PlayStation 3 owners finally get some thumb-splitting action with an exclusive game in the "Ninja Gaiden" series. But not all is what it seems with "Ninja Gaiden Sigma."

"Sigma" (Rated M, $59.99) may be the only title in the classic action series for the PS3, but it's actually a remake of 2004's "Ninja Gaiden Black" for the original Xbox.

"Sigma" does just about everything better than "Black," however, and that's saying a lot considering how uniformly excellent this action franchise originally was.

An important note: This game is hard — brutally, unforgivingly hard in a way that only a true game junkie can appreciate.
