Look I have reasons to get convinced that Facebook is not good for me. From BBC:

We wrote an evil data mining application called Miner, which, if we wanted, could masquerade as a game, a test, or a joke of the day. It took us less than three hours.

But whatever it looks like, in the background, it is collecting personal details, and those of the users’ friends, and e-mailing them out of Facebook, to our inbox.

When you add an application, unless you say otherwise, it is given access to most of the information in your profile. That includes information you have on your friends even if they think they have tight security settings.

Did you know that you were responsible for other people’s security?

Like any other Pakistani news paper, Jang also published several pages about today’s election. While going thru the paper, I found a Pakistani map on the page which is very new for me because this map used to appear only in foriegn referrences.

This was new for me on Pakistani papers because since childhood we have been studying following map in text books specially in Pakistani Studies books.

As you can see in this map, Jammu and Kashmir is part of Pakistan’s map which is called as Occupied Kashmir in Pakistan while Pakistan’s Azad Kashmir is Indian’s Occupied Kashmir. India has always been shown this region as part of their map while I was used to of above Pakistani map while I was a student but this change is new for me, not sure it shows change in our so called Kashmir policy or… another sign of progessiveness?

It seems that British scientist have finally heard the “voice” of women rights champions a.k.a feminists and have found a way to throw men out from their lives From Dailymail:

British scientists are ready to turn female bone marrow into sperm, cutting men out of the process of creating life.

All children born due to this process will be females due to absence of Y chromosomes. So other great wish might come true since they will not give birth a “man” regardless of high chances of birth defects.

the news reported by Slashdot. As usual nerds gave some interesting funny remarks which you can read yourself.
