How To Check If Someone Else Is Accessing Your Facebook Account
What’s the number one issue people have with Facebook? That’s right, privacy. Ever since there’s been a Facebook, people have been voicing their privacy concerns about it, and we’ve been there every step of the way. Over the past year, we’ve given you 16 steps (8 here, 8 there) to regain control of your Facebook privacy, taught you how to secure your settings, given you tips to protect your privacy, introduced you to apps like PrivacyDefender, and shown you how to tweak your Facebook Places security settings. And after all that, we finally broke down and wrote an Unofficial Facebook Privacy Guide.
So what’s the problem now? Nothing, technically. In fact, Facebook has recently given us a way to see if someone else has been accessing our Facebook accounts (without our permission). Is that something you’d be interested in? Follow me.

HTC Flyer: 7-inch Android tablet with a surprise | ZDNet
The Mobile World Congress taking place in Barcelona has been full of Android tablets as expected, and in the mix HTC presented its new tablet with some unique features. The HTC Flyer is a 7-inch tablet running a hybrid version of Gingerbread (Android 2.4), and not Honeycomb as most tablets being presented at MWC. According to HTC, using Gingerbread allowed the company to bake its Sense interface on the Flyer, while Honeycomb would have required more time. The biggest surprise HTC has put into the Flyer is the inclusion of a pen for taking handwritten notes on the tablet, something no one else is doing on Android.

Google Says, Honeycomb (Android 3.0) Won’t Be Coming To A Smartphone Near You, Just For Tablets » Antiroid
Google has confirmed that dreadful and unwanted news of Honeycomb not coming to your smartphone. A company spokesman was asked the question whether or not Honeycomb 3.0 would make its way to handsets, Andrew Kovacs said “no…Google’s Android 3.0 or “Honeycomb” is a tablet-only OS, for now.”
According to various portions of the SDK, it was clear that some aspects of the source code was clearly optimized for larger form factors. It raised numerous questions as to how this could possibly be delivered to handsets.
In an article The author raised the question that if Honeycomb is 3.0, what does this mean for smartphones running 2.x? And what happens when they get to 2.9? It seems as though, while one question was answered, a dozen more were conjured up. Only time will tell, as they say. But rest assured, Talk Android will be there to cover it all and inform the masses. Leave us your thoughts in the comments below.

Top 10 Things You Should Not Share on Social Networks | HowStuffWorks
Unless you've been living under a rock in 2009, you know that social networking Web sites are the latest and greatest way to interact with other users on the Internet. Thirty-five percent of adults on the Internet now have a profile on at least one social networking site, and 51 percent have more than one. Three-quarters of users between the ages of 18 and 24 have an online profile [source: USA Today]. The Pew Research Center found that 89 percent of these people use the sites to keep up with friends, 57 percent to make plans with friends and 49 percent to make new friends.
Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Friendster, Urban Chat and Black Planet are just a few of more than 100 Web sites connecting folks around the world who are eager to share their thoughts and feelings. But just like in real life, there's such a thing as sharing too much information (TMI). It's easy to get caught up in the social aspects of sites like Facebook, but what you choose to share is there for all to see if you don't limit who can view your information. The same study by Pew Research found that 40 percent of users have open access to their profiles, allowing anyone to view their information. The other 60 percent restrict access to friends, family and colleagues. Sharing personal information with strangers can be dangerous business, and there are some things you should definitely put on your "do not share" list. We'll go over 10 of those items in this article.
