Throwaway passwords

Password is a problem. The too simple ones are easy to guess and the complex ones are easy to remember. On the other hand, if the Internet user wants to access from a foreign machine, in an Internet café or in a hotel, using his password can be a danger to his security on the Internet. Facebook, thinking about it, has introduced, for the moment in the United States, the use and throw away password. Those who want to access the social network from a public machine can request, via SMS to a special US number, a one-time password. The condition is that the mobile phone from which they request the password is registered in their Facebook profile. In response to your request you will receive an access password that is operational for 20 minutes. This service will be progressively accessible to other countries. Facebook already offers the possibility of remote disconnection from an account.

Bing

Moreover, Microsoft will allow Facebook members to prioritize their searches on Bing based on matches with the name or likes of their friends on Facebook. Bing will use the Facebook "Like" application to show the user, as a priority, the pages or links related to the search term that their friends have found interesting.

"Questions like Should I watch this movie? What's the most interesting place in New York? are best answered if you ask someone who knows something about you," a company spokesperson said. The search engine will also rank the results when searching for a name based on the list of friends of the Internet user. If when you search for a name, it matches that of a friend of yours on the Net, it will be shown ahead of other coincidences, which will allow you to distinguish between the name of a friend from school and that of a popular athlete or artist.
