Computer security researchers on Thursday warned that online social networking websites are playgrounds for hackers who can easily take advantage of people’s trust.
Opportunities for mischief abound as users place intimate details of their lives on profile pages and install mini-applications made by strangers that don’t always have their privacy at heart.
In a trend pioneered with tremendous success by Facebook, social networking websites have opened their operating platforms to let outside developers craft fun, hip, or functional software “widgets” that can be added to profile pages.

When Dr. Mahathir was Prime Minister of Malaysia
One lousy day in the middle of the economic crisis, PM Mahathir was feeling extremely frustrated and wondering how a
neighboring country can be doing better than Malaysia.
One of his aides said, I heard that the leaders consult Feng Shui masters to ensure prosperity for the country.
Dr Mahathir thought if that was the case, Malaysia Bomoh also can, and went to seek the top bomoh’s advice in the country.
After reviewing the case, the bomoh told Dr M that there were 2 things that he must do :
Bomoh : Step 1. You must blame the crisis on SOROS for everything.
Dr M : But Why ?
Bomoh : Because SOROS stands for ‘Speculate On Ringgit Or Stocks’.
You must blame him, and look at ways to control the ringgit and stock market.
Bomoh : Step 2 – You must get rid of ANWAR.
Dr M : What! why him ?
Bomoh: Because ANWAR stands for ‘A Nation Without Any Ringgit’.
Dr M : But how ? This is most difficult to do, he is popular with the people.
Bomoh : Aiyoh, you bodoh lah! Look at your name, MAHATHIR.
Make Anwar Homosexual And Then Highlight It Repeatedly
This one lagi best. The latest according to the trend.
Subject : M.A.H.A.T.H.I.R
This is a new acronym … stands for:
