Are You Sharing Your Location On Facebook Without Knowing?
Have you been giving your stalkers your address inadvertently? Take a look and find out.
Even if you think you’ve got all your privacy settings properly
in place on Facebook, you may be surprised to find a big privacy breach
in the form of your Facebook Places map. What’s even scarier is that if
you’re using your smartphone to upload photos you might accidentally be
giving all of your Facebook friends the exact location of your house,
your office and where your kids go to school. It might be worth checking
this out.
What’s On Your Facebook Map?
Your
Places map has all sorts of information on it, including photos with a
tagged location, any updates you or your friends tagged you in with a
tagged location, plus the location of anything Facebook knows about you.
For instance, on my map you can see a little academic cap marking where
I got my degree. It’s quite scary how much information people could
piece together with all these locations put together on a map.
Which headphones are right for you?
Headphones are big business right now. We all want them, we all need them and our awareness and desire for high-quality audio has gone through the roof. You want us to justify these bold claims? Sure.
Fact – we all walk around with music-players in our pockets whether we think about our mobile phones like that or not. Fact – the choice to stream whatever songs we like direct to our ears is just £10 per month away. Fact – since illegal music downloads have drifted out of fashion, file format and quality are the main differentiators on the agenda. So, add the facts together and you get lots of people interested in good sound and probably the most important link in the portable chain is what headphones you’re using. So, which are the right headphones for you?
The answer, naturally, depends on who you are and what you like but, even then, the task in hand choosing a pair might not be all that straightforward. There are all sorts of different types out there with each one promising its own set of advantages. As ever, MSN Tech is here to untangle this unruly mass of jargon and geek speak into something nice and condensed that you don’t need a degree in physics to understand.
In-ear heaphones are the tiniest of them all. Quite literally, they are the ones that go right inside your aural canals. They're the ones that come free with your phone but you can also end up spending upwards of £200 if you want a pair of the very best. A bad set of in-ear headphones probably offers the worst listening experience of all. They can be incredibly tinny and a poor fit can cause them to fall out over and over again.
Pros
You can pick them up for very little and they're portable in the extreme. Wrap them up, stuff them in your pocket and away you go. They're not going to mess up your hair, make your glasses feel uncomfortable or get in the way at all. You don't need a bag to carry them around and they hardly weigh anything at all.
As far as listening goes, technology has come on such that they can offer a very decent audio experience. A good fitting pair will also provide an effective seal between your ears and the outside world and that makes for good isolation of sound and, therefore, fewer disruptions from external noise.
Cons
Sound likes space and there's not an awful lot available inside these tiny little things. So, generally speaking, you'll get better performance out of an on- or over-ear pair at the same price point.

'Hypercharger' Juices Your Phone Twice as Fast as a Regular Battery
Battery life: It's the wall our gadgets are always running up against. Today's smartphones and tablets can do wonderful things, but staying connected and running apps consumes power, which is why portable batteries and charging cases are increasingly popular.
There's a trade-off with batteries, though: You can either have something big and bulky that charges your device fast, or something small that takes hours to finish juicing your gadget.
Enter the LithiumCard, which recently completed a successful run on Indiegogo. The battery, which is about the same size as three credit cards stacked on top of each other, is a so-called "hypercharger," pumping out electrons as fast as a biggie battery.
We got our hands on a prototype LithiumCard, and put it to the test. First, we pitted it against a Mophie Powerstation XL, which is a hypercharger in its own right, albeit one you can't just slip into a wallet. Then we put the LithiumCard in the ring with a regular ol' rechargeable battery, the Nokia DC-19.
The LithiumCard delivered. While it didn't work miracles (like that nanotech battery prototype that supposedly charges a phone in 30 seconds), it left everyday batteries in the dust, racing neck-and-neck with the Mophie in speed-charging an iPhone 5S.
Since LithiumCard creator LinearFlux received about five times what it was asking for in its crowdfunding effort, we expect hyperchargers to make their ways into wallets and handbags in the coming months. Unless, of course, the company has also discovered an accelerant for bringing promising products to market.
