     Recently I have shared a post related to   Advantage of having custom domain name for your  blog. As you know, Most of us newbie blogger start their blogging career with the free blogger blog which can be hosted by Google. But when you create your blogwith blogger, your blog URL looks like domain.blogspot.com or domain.blogspot.in which is sub-domain. But I suggest to you that you should remove “.blogspot.in” or “.blogspot.com” from your URL of a blogger blog. For this you have to spend some money to buy your own wishes domain name from any domain provider companies. You can buy your domain name from Godaddy.com or BigRock.com.

Google to stop scanning student email accounts for ads

SAN FRANCISCO: Google will stop looking for advertising ideas in the emails of students using a suite of the internet company's free products tailored for schools.

The changes announced Wednesday affect Google's "Apps for Education" service that has been offered to schools for the past seven years
.

Among other things, Google says it will no longer pore through Gmails sent through Apps for Education for clues about students' interests. The scanning helps the Mountain View, California, company figure out what types of ads might appeal to the students.

Although Google didn't show ads in Apps for Education unless school administrators choose to allow the commercial pitches, the company could still use the personal data collected in Gmail scanning to peddle products when students might be using other online services.

More than 30 million students, teachers and administrators use the Apps for Education suite.

"Earning and keeping their trust drives our business forward," Bram Bout, Google's director of education wrote in a blog post. "We know that trust is earned through protecting their privacy and providing the best security measures."

Google's habitual scanning of Gmail had become the focal point of a federal lawsuit alleging the practice violated users' privacy. The case included claims by students at the University of Hawaii and the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California that they were required to use Apps for Education as part of their enrollment in schools.

US District Judge Lucy Koh dealt the lawsuit a setback last month when she denied a request to certify it as a class action representing tens of millions of Gmail users.

Google's scanning of Gmail in schools also had been facing questions about whether it violated the 40-year-old Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which is meant to protect student privacy.

Bout's blog post didn't cite the legal issues facing Gmail-scanning in his blog post outlining the revisions to Google's Apps for Education policies.

"Google executives are always pushing the limits and only back off when their hands are caught in the cookie jar," said John Simpson, privacy project director for Consumer Watchdog, a group that has railed against Google's data-collection practices for years.

Google is also removing the option that allowed school administrators to show Gmail ads when students were using Apps for Education.

Facebook introduces Anonymous Login, mobile ad network

Facebook moved Wednesday to bolster the trust of its more than one billion users by providing new controls on how much information is shared on the world's leading social network.

In a major shift away from the notion long preached by Facebook co-founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg of having a single known identity online, people will be able to use applications anonymously at Facebook.

The social network also provided a streamlined way for people to control which data applications can access and began letting people rein in what friends can do with shared posts at Facebook.

Zuckerberg announced the changes, along with moves to make Facebook a more stable platform for applications, at the social network's sold-out f8 developers conference.

"By giving people more power and control, they are going to trust all the apps we build more and over time use them more," Zuckerberg told an audience of about 1,700 conference attendees.

"That is positive for everyone."

In a statement Facebook explained its new "Anonymous Login" as an easy way for people to try an app without sharing personal information from Facebook..

"People tell us they're sometimes worried about sharing information with apps and want more choice and control over what personal information apps receive," the company said. "Today's announcements put power and control squarely in people's hands."

People are scared
In coming weeks, Facebook will also roll out a redesigned dashboard to give users a simple way to manage or remove third-party applications linked to their profiles at the social network.

"This is really big from a user standpoint," JibJab chief executive Gregg Spiridellis said of what he heard during the keynote presentation that opened the one-day Facebook conference.

"I think they are seeing people are scared. They realize that long-term, they need to be trusted."

A JibJab application that can synch with Facebook lets people personalize digital greeting cards with images of themselves or friends.

In a major move that promises to help application makers bring in more money and to further challenge Google for online marketing revenue, Facebook is expanding a test of putting its ad-targeting prowess to work for developers.

A Facebook Audience Network will what people share publicly about themselves and their interests to pinpoint marketing messages in third-party apps linked to Facebook on desktop computers or mobile devices.

Better targeted ads promise to be more effective and, by extension, more attractive to marketers as well as app makers.

"These guys are so smart," Spiridellis said of the Facebook team. "Every publisher is going to switch to Audience."

Hacker way
Facebook revived its popular developers conference after a two-year hiatus and promised that the event will take place annually for the foreseeable future.

Zuckerberg said the overarching themes at f8 were ways to help developers "build, grow, and monetize" applications that synch with Facebook.

While Zuckerberg still proudly endorses a "hacker way" of creatively bending software in innovative directions, he promised developers that the Facebook platform on which they rely will deliver "stability and consistency."

"My goal is building a culture of loving the people we serve that is as strong as hacking it," Zuckerberg said as he wound up his presentation on a personal note.

He described being in a personally reflective period triggered by Facebook turning 10 years old in February and him marking his 30th birthday in just a few weeks.

It has also been 10 years since he first met his wife, Priscilla Chan, he added.

"It's a time to reflect in life, family, philanthropy and what is important in the 10 years ahead," Zuckerberg said.

Control your PC/ LAPTOP with you Hand Gestures

While surfing on internet i found and amazing application which use small feature of Kinetic Energy we see in Xbox and Sony play-station by which we control the game by our Hand and other gestures. Camera installed on the devices detects our gestured and reacts on that. No sensors or any device is needed to be attached to our body. Camera attached on the device detects our movements and reacts on them Latest Television LED's are also equipped with this feature where we don't need to press Remote Keys to change the channel or control the volume just hand gestures are enough to control the volume or change the channel and they are not like bio-metric, anybody can use the gesture to control the TV. This will be really amazing to see Brother and Sister fight for one channel because Brother hides the Remote Control so he can watch his favorite Programs. Now Sisters can handle the TV with Gestures which is great news for Girls. Basically this feature is already in market since 3-4 years but now its developing and coming on low prices.  

We don't need to buy such very expansive TV's to feel the gesture control. We can experience it on our own Computer or Laptop by using a very small app i just installed.

Download the app from https://flutterapp.com/ and click on For Windows if you are running Windows platform or you can also use this app on your MAC OS.

Install the app and enjoy your VLC player PLAY/PAUSE with just showing your hand to the web camera and you can also control Youtube and Netflix by installing Flutter extension on your Google Chrome web browser.

Its just for FUN but i enjoyed the my 1 minute by playing with this app.

Tested app not a hack tool and not dangerous. Uninstall after playing with it if you feel insecure. as i explained in previous articles that people can use our webcams without our permission. just play with it and uninstall the app and also keep your webcamera removed if you don't use it.

This will surely make smile on your face.

Have Fun
