Facebook Fails What.app Stanford Test, Twitter and iPhone Pass
In a recent study conducted by What.app, Facebook fails in maintaining standard privacy of its users.
WhatApp is a site that rates the privacy, security and openness of web and mobile applications as well as the various platforms they run on.
What.app uses various analysis tools to rate apps and websites and Twitter and iPhone apps fared well with good scores whereas Facebook was slapped on the face with a score of 2. The total score was five. The results obtained are extrapolated from data obtained from individual apps running on platforms. Facebook was rated based on its apps.
The co-founder of What.App Ryan Calo, who is also a Stanford University Law fellow says,
I think people are upset because when you download an app, you don’t have any control over what the app developer sees on your profile,” says Calo. “There’s the perception among users that they don’t need to give away so much information to have the apps do the same thing as they are currently doing.
There were three areas of analysis, namely privacy, security and openness. Facebook scored two in all three. This should not come as a surprise as it simply justifies Mark Zuckerberg’s earlier statement of “privacy is no longer a social norm”.

The Biggest Library of Windows 7 Shortcuts
Totally understand your point. I've searched and tested like crazy for the last 2 hours and i've found no solution. It seems that the shortcut we provided (according to documentation from Microsoft) puts your computer into Hybrid Sleep mode directly which is very similar to Hibernate and you need to press the power button to resume it.
For whatever reason, you cannot put the computer into sleep mode from the command line if hibernation is enabled. So, if you want our shortcut to work as you want to, you need to disable hibernation first, which is not a recommended solution.
The only alternative i could find is to use a third-party tool. Download PsShutdown from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897541.aspxThen create a shortcut to psshutdown.exe and use the parameter "-d". When you run that shortcut it should go into normal sleep mode.
Hope this helps.
Importing Pictures from a Camera or Mobile Device into Windows 7
Windows 7 makes keeping track of your pictures incredibly easy, thanks to the Libraries feature. If you haven't already, check out our tutorial on Libraries - A Great Feature of Windows 7 to learn how to add pictures on your hard drive to your Library. But if you want to add pictures from a digital camera or mobile device to your Windows 7 Pictures Library, you'll have to import them. Luckily, this is incredibly easy to do and we're going to show you how.
Connecting Your Device and Setting up AutoPlay Options
Begin by connecting your camera or mobile device to your computer. You can connect it directly via USB, or, if it takes a memory card, you can insert the card into a card reader connected to your computer. Either way, Windows 7 will open the AutoPlay dialog the first time you connect your device or insert a card.
Here, you'll have the option to either 'Import pictures and videos using Windows' or 'Open device to view files with Windows Explorer'. If you want to import all of your pictures, go ahead and choose the first option. If you'd rather pick and choose individual photos, choose the second.
NOTE: If you want to save yourself some clicks for next time, check 'Always do this for this device' before clicking 'Import...' and your pictures will automatically import with your default settings when you plug that device in. You can always undo this if you change your mind (see below).
Import pictures and videos using Windows 7
First, let's walk through the process of importing all of your pictures. If, for some reason, the AutoPlay dialog doesn't show up, just go into Windows Explorer, right-click your device and choose 'Import pictures and videos' for the exact same result as above. If you used the AutoPlay dialog, go ahead and ignore this step and the screenshot below.
Next, a window will pop up asking you if you want to tag your pictures. This is optional. If you do choose to tag them, however, NOTE that all the pictures imported will be given this tag, so make sure it applies to all of them. If you're ready to go, click Import to begin. If you'd rather fiddle around a bit more, click 'Import settings'.
The Import Settings window gives you a few more options. Most of these are self-explanatory, but we can run through them quickly:
- The top drop-down menu changes the device to which the Import Settings apply.
- The next two menus change where your pictures or videos will be imported to. You can choose separate locations for videos and pictures and Windows 7 will automatically sort them out.
- The next two menus let you customize the folder and file name. An example of how the file name will appear is shown in the screenshot below.
- Check/uncheck 'Prompt for a tag on import' if you want to be asked to tag pictures before importing. Unchecking this option will skip this step when you plug in your camera for faster importing (and you can tag them later).
- Check 'Always erase from device after importing' to delete pictures off your camera after copying them to your hard drive. If you leave it unchecked, you'll have an opportunity to delete them later (see below).
- Check 'Rotate pictures on import' if you want Windows 7 to make a guess regarding the correct orientation (i.e. portrait vs. landscape) of your pictures and save it accordingly.
- Checking 'Open Windows Explorer' after import will automatically show you the folder where your freshly imported pictures are located once they are copied over.
Lastly, NOTE that there's a shortcut that lets you change your default AutoPlay options. Click this if you've set up AutoPlay to automatically import your pictures or made other changes that you'd like to undo. When you click 'Change default AutoPlay options' it'll bring you to the Control Panel where all of your devices are shown. Scroll down to find your device and change the options accordingly.
Click Save and return to the Import Settings window and click OK. When you're satisfied with all of your settings, click Import to copy your pictures onto your hard drive.
NOTE: While your pictures are importing, you'll be shown this dialog. If you check the box next to 'Erase after importing', Windows will delete the files off of your camera once they are successfully copied onto your computer. This is a quick and easy way to free up space on your camera, but be aware that after doing this, the only copy of your picture will be on your computer. Be sure to backup the originals if you plan on editing your pictures.
As long as you chose a folder that's included in your Pictures Library locations, they'll automatically show up in any program that uses your Pictures Library the next time you launch it or apply your media information changes. By default, your pictures go into My Pictures, which is the default location for your Pictures Library, so if you don't touch a thing, you'll be fine.
Open device to view files with Windows Explorer
If you don't want to import every single picture from your camera, you can choose individual pictures to copy from Windows Explorer. If you choose the second option in the AutoPlay dialog, you'll automatically be taken to your device in Windows Explorer. Otherwise, simply open Windows Explorer and navigate to your memory card or camera. From here, drag and drop individual photos into your My Pictures folder on the left or another folder that's included in your Pictures Library. Do this just as if you were moving files between folders on your hard drive.
Conclusion
That about wraps up the basics of importing pictures into your Pictures Library. As you can see, you can copy and backup all of your digital pictures with Windows 7 without any third-party software. Once you've imported your pictures, you can then access them from any program that uses your Windows 7 Pictures Library, including Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player 12. For more hints and tips on handling pictures in Windows 7, check out some of our related articles.

છ મહિનામાં દોડતી થશે ડબલડેકર એસી ટ્રેન - Divya Bhaskar Daily Gujarati News Paper Ahmedabad Surat Baroda Rajkot News Gujarat Mumbai
રેલવેની સુવિધાઓમાં થશે ક્રાંતિકારી ફેરફાર, રેલવેની કમાણીમાં વધારો થશે
આ મહિને ડબલડેકર એસી કોચનું ટ્રાયલ રન નવી દિલ્હી-મથુરા ડિવિઝનમાં થશે. પહેલી ડબલડેકર કોચ ટ્રેન છ મહિનાના સમયગાળામાં દિલ્હી-અમૃતસર વચ્ચે દોડતી થઈ જશે. આરડીએસઓ લખનઉ અને રેલવે કોચ ફેક્ટરી(આરસીએફ) કપૂરથલાએ માત્ર નવ મહિનાના ટૂંકા સમયગાળામાં રેલવે કોચનું નિર્માણ કર્યું છે.
ડબલડેકર કોચમાં બેઠેલા મુસાફરોને પણ ક્ષણે-ક્ષણની માહિતી આપવા માટે ઈલેક્ટ્રોનિક્સ ડિસ્પ્લે અને સાઉન્ડ સિસ્ટમ લગાવાયા છે. સમાન મૂકવા માટે દરેક સીટ પ્રમાણે ચોક્કસ જગ્યા ફાળવાઈ છે. પાણીની સમસ્યાથી બચવા માટે પાવર વોટર ટેન્કર લગાવાયા છે જે કોચમાં તૈયાર કરાયેલા બે શૌચાલયમાં પાણી પુરવઠો પૂરો પાડશે.
એર બ્રેક સિસ્ટમ: આ કોચમાં શોકરના બદલે એર બ્રેક સિસ્ટમ લગાવાઈ છે જેના કારણે ઈમરજન્સીમાં બ્રેક લગાવતી વખતે પણ મુસાફરોને આંચકો ન લાગે. ડબલડેકર કોચમાં સ્વચ્છતા જાળવવા માટે ઈલેકટ્રોનિક ટોઈલેટ ડિસ્ટ્રોયર સિસ્ટમ લગાવાઈ છે જે મળ-મૂત્રને સળગાવી દેશે.
આ ટ્રેનની સ્પીડ ૬૦ કિમી પ્રતિ કલાક થાય ત્યારે મળ આપોઆપ નીચે પડી જાય તેવી વ્યવસ્થા છે. કોચમાં કમ્પ્યૂટરાઈઝ્ડ પેનલ લાગેલી હોવાથી મુસાફરો તેમની જરૂરિયાત અનુસાર એસીના તાપમાનમાં વધ-ઘટ કરી શકે છે.
ડબલડેકર કોચમાં ૧૨૮ મુસાફરો
ડબલડેકરના એક કોચમાં ૧૨૮ મુસાફરો બેસી શકશે જ્યારે સ્વર્ણ શતાબ્દીમાં ૭૮ મુસાફરો મુસાફરી કરી શકે છે. ૭૦ ટકા ક્ષમતા વધારાઈ છે.
કોચની ડિઝાઈન
કોચનું નિર્માણ ROB-URB, હાઈ વોલ્ટેજ વાયર અને પ્લેટફોર્મની ઊચાઈને ઘ્યાનમાં રાખીને કરાયું છે. તેની ઊચાઈ સામાન્ય કોચથી સાડા ચાર ઈચ વધારે રખાઈ છે.
મજબૂતી પણ, આરામ પણ
એસી બંધ કરવાની સુવિધા, મોબાઈલ ચાર્જર સુવિધા, નિમાર્ણમાં સ્ટીલ મટીરિયલનો મહત્તમ ઉપયોગ,CFL તેમજ બે અગ્નિશામક યંત્રો.
