Facestalking

I picked up this thing about facestalking. You can view other people's pictures and see what they are up to. However, you do need add friends to this. Or do you? It looks like that you can view other people's profiles without friending them. If you go in 'privacy' and then 'poke, message and friend request', you can see who can see your profile.

I'd be very careful who you friend as this man found out the hard way.

So much so, it looks some workplaces are barring them.

Poker and hacking

This hasn't come as a big surprise. Poker has gained a lot positive media. Every other celebrity seemingly want a piece of the action. Combine an interest with this with the Internet, it's hardly surprising that online poker has taken off.

Power hacking? Is that possible? I mean you aren't like to slide an extra ace into your set, are you? But there are a number hacks and tricks that can be made. There is a good reference for online poker hacks that is not filled with too much poker lingo. There's a variety of hacks include the bog standard phishing, collusion and poker bots. However, most of these are on the client side. The server side seems safe as a reputable site would use certificates and cryptography.
