Privacy Info

Facebook: The privacy setting on my Facebook account show that only my friends can see my posts but I found a tab that says ‘review my posts’ and it shows every action in detail that I've ever did on Facebook. It’s actually kinda creepy.

Yahoo: My Yahoo account is pretty secured from what i discovered. I can see when my e-mail has been accessed and from what location. It also gives me an option as to how long my account will stay on a computer if I happened to forget to log out.


Pintrest: Pintrest security info tells us that they try their best to protect our accounts from and theft or type of hacking at the best of their ability but ask for help if we find anything suspicious. The cool thing is that we can create a 'secret board' that are secret for us and anybody we allow to see it.

Google: Google gives me basic security as to who can view my information depending on who i add into the circle.

So in my opinion I believe that my yahoo account is giving be the best privacy. I like that it informs me when and where my account was last accessed and who can see my information.The account that i believe that has the worst privacy is Facebook. There's no limit to who can reach your stuff. I was able to see every action that I ever made on Facebook. Even though I knew what I liked and what I was tagged in I got a sense of being watched by my own self because I clearly forgot about every action I ever made on the site. So seeing every detail creeped me out a bit

The blog Gizmodo

The blog that I'm more interested in out of the two that I have listed is Gizmodo. It's the blog that informs you about all the new,cool, and hip technology that's trending. One article I was reading was about a app that can bring your Halloween costumes to life! Actual animation to your costumes, how cool would that be? You can either make the costumes by hand or go all out and buy all the gear that comes with it. Here's a quick video that'll simply blow your socks off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOQws77j_6c&noredirect=1

Chinese Gold Farming

     After I read the article and watched the video I learned that the people we are buying our virtual money from to play online games is to the Chinese workers who play those games with us for a living. These Chinese workers play games in a small office day after day just to earn money to make it by everyday in their country. This company is what we called "Gold Farms" and it's in control of where be buy our coins from to advance in a game. After the owner of this company visited America he realized that everything was so expensive and that a dollar in America is worth ten yuan in their currency so he came up with the idea to sell virtual money in those fantasy games to convert it to yuan so that they can make money.
