Steve Jobs Has Passed Away

Today the world has lost a brilliant man.  Since the '70s Steve Jobs has helped to shape the computer and electronics industry.  I for one owe my start in computers to Apple.  The products that Steve was responsible for creating have really changed how we all interact with technology.

He will be missed.

Can You Disable Facebook Facial Recognition?

The answer is simple, YES you can. Facebook has a new facial recognition feature that will find pictures of you by using your face and recommend to your friends that they tag you in that photo. Basically any picture of you on Facebook can be tracked and pointed out to your friends. I personally do not need EVERYONE I know seeing EVERY picture of me on Facebook ever. Luckily we can disable this feature with a few easy mouse clicks. This will force friends to manually tag your pictures versus Facebook automatically suggesting pictures for people. Common are we getting that lazy that we can't search for pictures and manually click TAG?

1. Open your Privacy Settings
2. Click Customize Settings (it is towards the bottom)
3. Scroll down to the "Suggest Photos of Me to Friends"
4. Click Edit Settings
5. From the drop down box click disable



Done and done.

Remember it is a good idea to take a spin through the Privacy Settings every so often to see what else Facebook has snuck in under the "Radar."

Here is a link to an Engadget post regarding the iOS 5 preview for iPhone and iPad. I am a little busy today so I will not do my own write up with gleaned information.

iOS Preview

You will notice its cloud features that tie into the new and coming OS X Lion. Also, there appears to be additional multitasking features and notification features that were previously lacking.
