Facebook is rolling out a new security feature that lets users log out of their accounts remotely from another computer.
To do this, go to "account settings" on your Facebook page and click on "change" next to "account security." There, you'll see where else your Facebook account is logged in, including the type of device and the city it's in or near. To log out of any of them, click "end activity."
Facebook is making this available over the next couple of weeks. It will be accessible on computers, but not mobile devices.
The feature is similar to what Google Inc.'s Gmail offers to its users, and Facebook says it's designed to help users keep their logins secure.

When you want to establish an Online business the first thing you need is a Website for your venture. For a website, the first thing you need is some Online Web Hosting Space and skilled professionals who can create a proper website for you. But what are the things you should keep in mind while selecting the best web host? What are the most common misconceptions while deciding the best web host?
Unlimited Web Hosting and bandwidth means no worry
Most users are tension-free that their unlimited hosting account will help them enjoy a tension free life. But, most Unlimited hosting accounts do no guarantee unlimited disk usage. The more processing that takes places on the server may cause problems for your website as your Disk Usage takes place (can be understood as Processing usage)
Shared hosting and dedicated hosting are similar
Most users have a misconception that shared and dedicated hosting servers don’t really make a difference. Just imagine that another website which is hosted on your shared server used up all the processing power or gets infected by any malicious software, then what? You may loose all the precious data on your site and may also cause a lot of problems. A dedicated server would be your personal server and may allow you to do anything at the expense of your own site. So, if you mis-manage something, then you are responsible for your own actions as others are no way related to you.
All cheap web-hosting services are unreliable
Everyone wants to use the Best Web hosting services, but most people are not on a big budget, so they keep looking for cheap options. But it is a misunderstanding that all cheap web hosting services are unreliable, there are many web hosting services which give you the service at affordable rates and they are very reliable too.
Any website can work on any type of server (without any issues)
Web hosting server is not your requirement! A PROPER hosting server is your requirement. So you must first ensure that the package which the hosting provider is giving you fits your needs. For example: Its a tiresome job to make the .NET framework to work on Linux based servers. It may take up your valuable time and may even land you into trouble. Most people do not think before purchasing a hosting package and then repent over it.
Good hosting providers don’t have any problems/issues
This is the biggest misunderstanding. You can face web hosting issues with any hosting provider, its just the service each provider delivers which makes them expensive and good. If your site is not properly protected from outbound access, then it can be hacked. You cant blame your provider for that.
Also, most web hosting companies allow affiliate sales, which can help you to earn some cash fast by referring their service to others. Many companies also allow the Web Hosting Coupon system, which can help you give discounts to people whom you refer.

Google's ultra popular doodles are back in the news again as the search engine giant is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the discovery of the buckyball on Saturday, Sep 4.
Google's latest doodle features interactive buckyball in place of the yellow second 'o' in Google. The spinning buckyball can be brought to life by the movement of the mouse.
With the doodle, Google has effectively managed to plague several minds as to what exactly a buckyball is, thus shedding light on the landmark discovery by sending millions of netizens searching for information on it.A buckyball is a spherical fullerene, which is a molecular compound made up entirely of carbon [C60].
The buckyball, which is actually called buckminsterfullerene, was discovered on Sep 4, 1985 by Harold Kroto, James Heath, Sean O’Brien, Robert Curl and Richard Smalley at Rice University in Houston, Texas.
The name buckminsterfullerene comes from Richard Buckminster 'Bucky' Fuller, who was an architect and designer, whose geodesic domes and spheres the buckyball resembles. Besides this, 'fullerine' also stands for a molecule made entirely of carbon.
Buckminsterfullerine, the first of the ball-shaped family of particles, came to be known as Buckyball due to the unusual spherical arrangement of the molecule.
This unique particle family is studied and applied in several fields of sciences including electronics and nanotechnology.
Google will pay to settle a privacy lawsuit filed in the wake of the Google Buzz launch. The social-media service was heavily criticized for automatically including users' frequent Gmail contacts on public Buzz profiles when it first went live in February. Google scrambled to make changes to give users better clarity about how the privacy settings worked, but that didn't prevent lawsuits such as the one filed by Gmail user Eva Hibnick in February.

It's far from an Oscar, but landing atop McAfee's annual list carries a distinction all its own: It means that criminals believe those celebs are the perfect lures to sucker people into visiting malicious websites.
Clicking onto strange sites is sketchy to begin with. But many people do, and their computers get infected. Once a computer is infected, criminals can steal victims' online banking passwords, e-mail passwords, and do other kinds of nasty deeds. Attaching famous people's names to malicious sites is a well-worn ruse, to fool people looking at search results into thinking they're heading to a legitimate site.
The other most-dangerous celebrities to look for online, according to McAfee, are Gisele Bundchen, Brad Pitt, Adriana Lima, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Heidi Klum, Penelope Cruz and Anna Paquin. McAfee performed its tests in July using the company's technology for identifying dangerous websites. The rankings measure the likelihood that someone looking for things such as photos and videos of those celebrities would land on a malicious site.
