Recently I lost when I was unable to delete some post from my timeline and then I found that our activity log on our timeline serves many purposes.
You can use it to quickly hide old statuses you have made in the past, or delete them, you can also use it to Unhide statuses that you had previously hidden.
In addition, it shows you comments that you have made on other peoples’ stories/statuses/pictures and will allow you to delete those too, all in one convenient place.
To get there, go to your Timeline, and click on Activity Log.
That will open the activity log, and then you can scroll down to where that story is (or use the date links at the bottom) to find the post/story you want to hide or unhide. Look at the icons in the far right to see which ones are hidden and which ones are visible.
You can then click on the little circle/crossed out circle to select if you want it hidden or not.
If you “Feature” a story, it will take the full width of your timeline, so as to draw attention to that item. Think of it like “this one is important”.

Recently, in Pakistan many companies have started offering email marketing.
These companies collect email data from various sources, and then start sending emails in bulk.
Majority of these email marketing companies are using Google groups to send emails.
Google groups enables them to build an email database and thru these groups then can send bulk emails.
Many people have complained about being added without their consent and receiving several emails on daily basis. Because of a Ban/unban bug in Google Groups, I myself reported Google to fix that bug, but no response yet from their side.
Here is how you can unsubscribe google groups, and make sure that no one can add you again.
Create an account on Google at : http://accounts.google.com
You can use your company email address to create an account.
Google will send you verification email which you should verify.
Once you create the account, you will see the main dashboard page.
Add as many emails as you want in the same account ( usually the ones which are receiving SPAM mails from Google groups)
Once you have added all the accounts.
Go to dashboard –
At the lower part of the screen there is a link for GROUPS
Click on the link.
On the lower right hand side of the screen, you will find the option for “manage subscription”
Or Open : http://groups.google.com (without logging off, off-course)
Click on My Groups
Once you click on that link, you will see how many companies / groups have added your emails address.
Click on the group which subscribed you without your permission or you don’t want to be part of that group.
Click “My Membership” from here you can select the option to unsubscribe from that mailing list.
That’s it !!! and now you are done !!
Also, from the User Preference option (click on settings icon 
):-
You can enable the option to :
- not to allow any other company to add you
- not to send any other Google group emails.
The Google group spam has been there for a while and many people have been asking me about how to avoid the spam.
I hope this will help to unsubscribe and reduce the spam from Google groups.

After loosing Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition source code in 2006, now Symantec is asking its customer to stop usage of Norton/PcAnywhere which was also leaked on Internet.
The security firm said the theft occurred in 2006, compromising 2006-era version of Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition, Norton Internet Security and Norton SystemWorks and most important "pcAnywhere", which could allow malicious users to gain complete access to systems and data very easily.
Also it is intresting to add that the guy who hacked that code also released source code of Indian Spy software
“So far we have discovered within the Indian Spy Program source codes of a dozen software companies which have signed agreements with Indian TANCS programme and CBI”
What does that mean? Indian agencies are doing signed agreements for spying using Symantec/Norton products and others???? must be those agreements are not in favor of Pakistan 🙂
"The headline is very embarrassing to Symantec,"
Anup Ghosh, founder and CEO of Virginian security firm Invincea, told FoxNews.com at the time.
"But this has now become the normal in securities. Every single corporation is susceptible to threats."
hahahah, very funny!!!!
“Symantec recommends disabling the product until Symantec releases a final set of software updates that resolve currently known vulnerability risks,” the company wrote in an online statement about the hacking.
The “The Lords of Dharmaraja”, the hacking group who authored the Pastebin note, has released the code online(last week).
Some security tips from (Ira Victor, a security expert in Nevada):-
1. Do not use a "suite" of security protection from any one firm. A mixture of best of breed security is more secure.
2. Usernames and passwords alone are not enough protection for remote access. A single-use password system makes unauthorized remote access exponentially harder for cyber criminals.
3. Do not run computers in "Administrator" mode. Run systems in "User mode" so that malware does not install automatically.
4. Businesses should deploy application "whitelisting." This will prevent unauthorized malware from running on computers.

A new piece of American legislation, SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) has been getting a lot of attention the last few weeks. The purpose of the bill is to put a dent in online piracy by allowing the US government to dictate ISPs block access to sites hosting copyrighted materials.
Companies including Google, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, Yahoo! and Wikipedia are said to be discussing a coordinated blackout of services to demonstrate the potential effect SOPA would have on the Internet, something already being called a “nuclear option” of protesting. Reddit also joins the Anti SOPA blackout.
Markham Erickson, executive director of trade association NetCoalition said:
This type of thing doesn’t happen because companies typically don’t want to put their users in that position. The difference is that these bills so fundamentally change the way the Internet works. People need to understand the effect this special-interest legislation will have on those who use the Internet.
