However, despite its popularity, the search engine has had some serious concerns over the past few years, prompting its users to look for alternatives. As a matter of fact, aside from the conspicuous problems like frequent algorithm changes, prejudice with search results, dwindling state of indexing, and an increase in inaccurate and dissatisfying results, Google has also been subject to criticism over its policy over privacy concerns of late, which has caused an uproar among many....

Remote Administration Tools, or simply RAT, are extensive packages that can give experienced users complete control over targeted machines, without going through much hassle. Once infected, the attacker can freely and silently access private data, initiate transfers, record keystrokes, find out passwords, restart the computer and even open the CD/DVD tray. Amongst these “advantages”, remote control of one’s webcam is included. How can a Webcam be Used for Spying? As Ars explains, RAT tools firs appeared in 1998 at a white-hat hacker meeting, where Sir Dystic developed BackOrrifice, a primitive tool which could hack a computer and allow the master to log keystrokes, execute simple file transfers and restart the machine....
So which of the two Redmi devices is the one for you? Here is a rather quick comparison to help you make up your minds. Looks are more Note-able Their mum might be Redmi, but the Note 7 and Y3 follow very different design aesthetics. Yes, both have displays with drop notches, but the Y3 has a more curve-y back while the Note 7 has a relatively flat one. Both have different versions of the Aura finish, but although the Y3 is not an eyesore, we think the Note 7 seems just a little more premium thanks to the use of Gorilla Glass 5 on the back (the Y3 has a carbonate back)....

Towards the end of the last year, Facebook announced some changes to their Privacy Policy and towards how they perceive users’ privacy. They would default the user profiles to be viewed by everyone, which means that anyone with a Facebook account can view your settings. It caused a huge uproar among some people, but I believe Facebook is just trying to give maximum control to the users on how they want different people to view their details on Facebook....
Well, mainly for reasons of interface. Analog Camera comes from Realmac Software, the folks who gave us the incredibly elegant to-do list app, Clear. And as in the case of Clear, Analog Camera wins our hearts as much for what it does as for the way in which it does it. It is a small enough download – 5.3 MB and as we said, comes with a price that is as close to a Dollar as can be....
