உலகின் முன்னணி சமூகவலைத்தளமாக திகழும் பேஸ்புக் ஆனது தொடர்ச்சியாக பல்வேறு புதிய அம்சங்களை தனது பயனர்களுக்காக அறிமுகப்படுத்தி வந்தது.


இருந்தும் சில சந்தர்ப்பங்களில் பாதுகாப்பு காரணங்களுக்காக சில அம்சங்களை நீக்கிவிடுவதுண்டு. 


இதன் ஒரு அங்கமாக கடந்த டிசம்பர் மாதம் நண்பர்களை தேடும்போது அவர்களின் புரபைல் பெயர்களை காட்டாதவாறு மாற்றம் செய்யும் வசதியை நிறுத்தியிருந்தது.

How to Check Your Antivirus is Working?

Here is a common method to determine if your antivirus program is working properly or not. Some of you may know it already, but for the beginner (noobs) this can be informative.

 

► Open Notepad and copy/paste the Code given below.

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

► The text should be in one horizontal line.

► Then save file as "checkantivirus.com" including quotation-marks.

► After some seconds saving this file, your Anti-Virus should notify you with the message that this file is infected with a virus asking permission for its deletion/clean.

► This file is secure and it’s not going to infect your computer in any way. It is a standard text developed by the European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research (EICAR). Every Anti-Virus is programmed to load this file as a virus.

► If your Anti-Virus did not detect this file as a virus, a program will appear as DOS window with this text EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE.

► If this happens then you should probably find a better Anti-Virus. It means that your PC might already be infected with viruses and your current Anti-Virus does not recognize them.

Google Maps Gets Updated 3D Imagery For 50 U.S. Cities!

Google today announced one of its largest updates to Google Maps’ 3D imagery since it launched last year. The service now covers a number of additional cities that weren’t included in the previous releases. Most of these are smaller towns like Las Cruces, NM and Bend, OR. The company also released updated imagery for a number of cities, including, for example, San Francisco, CA.

 

Here is a full list of towns with new or updated 3D imagery:

 

Anniston, AL; Auburn, AL; Barstow, CA; Bastrop, TX; Bend, OR; Birmingham, AL; Boulder City, NV; Buffalo Core, NY; Cape Girardeau, MO; Casper, WY; Cheyenne, WY; Chicago, IL; Chico, CA; College Station, OH; Delano, CA; Desert Hot Springs, CA; Dubuque, IA; Edmonton, NY; Enid, OK; Farmington, NM; Grand Forks, ND; Grand Junction, CO; Great Falls, MT; Hanford, CA; Healdsburg, CA; Helendale, CA; Hot Springs, AR; Idaho Falls, ID; Kelso, WA; Killeen, TX; Las Cruces, NM; Lawton, OK; Leeds, OK; Madera, CA; Malibu, CA; Merced, CA; Modesto, CA; Ocala, FL; Odessa, TX; Ojai, CA; Picture Rocks, AZ; Pittsburgh, PA; Prescott, AZ; Rapid City, SD; Redding, CA; Riverside, CA; San Angelo, TX; San Francisco, CA; St George, UT; Texarkana, TX; Twentynine Palms, CA; Victoria, TX; Winnipeg, TX; Yuba City, CA.

With this update, Google is clearly on a path to bring 3D imagery to the majority of larger U.S. cities, something it promised to do when it first launched this service last year.

Microsoft, which previously featured 3D imagery in its mapping service but then dropped it in Bing Maps, also recently announced that it will add 3D building to its mapping product again. These images, Microsoft says will be newly captured just for this new 3D feature. Microsoft, we hear, plans to launch its 3D imagery for about 100 cities, but it’s not clear if those will all be in the U.S. or if this will be an international launch. The first demo I saw of Microsoft’s service easily rivals Google’s imagery.
