British teen hack FACEBOOK for fun

A new survey has found that 75 percent of British teenagers try to access their Friends on Facebook accounts. It was seen that about 50 percent of youngsters who accessed other accounts used their personal computers or cyber.

According to the survey of 1150 under-19s showed that the most common way of access was by "cracking" each other's passwords. Teens said they mainly did it for fun while 21 percent confessed they wanted to cause trouble.

Twenty percent of those who admitted to hacking believed they could make money from it with 5 percent describing it as a career option. The respondents taking part in the survey, commissioned by Tufin Technologies, maintained anonymity.

"Playing around with computers and trying to understand the system can be leveraged for good and bad purposes," the BBC quoted Reuven Harrison, co-founder of Tufin Technologies, as saying.

Harrison added: "There's a fine line at which point it becomes something bad. Children don't always understand where that line is."

Google's Plan for Supar-Fast Internet Network

"We'll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections," Google product managers Minnie Ingersoll and James Kelly wrote in the blog.

Google Inc plans to build a super-fast Internet network for up to half a million people, a project that could pressure telecommunications companies to loosen their control of Web access in the United States.

The Internet company has locked horns with the likes of AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc over the issue of net neutrality: Google wants telephone companies to permit consumers to run any Web application they want, while carriers do not want to lose control of networks they have invested billions of dollars to build.

In building the test network, Google wants to demonstrate a carrier could easily manage complex applications that use a lot of bandwidth without sacrificing performance.

Google said on Wednesday it does not plan to build a nationwide network and its goal is only to develop a trial service at a "competitive price" to 50,000 to 500,000 people, offering Web speeds of up to 100 times faster than most consumers get today.

"In a big way, this is about Google wanting to make a case for net neutrality," said PRTM consultant Daniel Hays, adding that Google wants to "demonstrate these services can be provided profitably at satisfactory levels of performance."

In a blog describing the new network, Google imagined a doctor discussing and looking at three-dimensional medical images with a patient far away, students joining a class from various locations in 3-D, or someone downloading a high-definition movie very quickly.
