Since the emergence of the internet, there has been many good and bad stories of it as well. But nonetheless the advantages are way more than the disadvantages.
Security as with every other area has been one of the negatively affected areas of the internet and in recent days there have been really worse issues as regards to cyber security.
Virtually half of the services on the internet requires one authentication or the other and this at most times leads to the being a member.
The primary authentication methods on most of these services are passwords and it has been bedeviled by lots of hack attempts in recent times which at most times ends up bringing negative results for the owners of such passwords.
On the heels of these negative development a United States Tech Company has put and are still putting efforts in place to see that something more secure replaces passwords,  and that is YOU.
The company 1Uapps has actually developed a technology that allows you to use your selfie  to login in to any of your online accounts. This means we are all going to be giving up on the traditional authentication means “PASSWORDS”.
And below is exactly how it works:
1U™ is a mobile application created to conveniently safeguard your usernames and passwords and make your online life easier. 1U™ is the only application to use a combination of state-of-the-art biometric technologies and Liveness Detection systems, leveraging the smartphone as the biometric acquisition device, to recognize who you are, and then quickly and securely log you into your favorite websites with our 1-Look™ technology. Once downloaded, the user will set up his or her biometric data linked to their unique device ID and email account, link it with their PC or laptop, and assign the secure websites that he or she would like to use 1U™ to access. You can view your site on the mobile device or on the computer.
You can find more information and an extended explanation of the technology on their website. www.1uapps.com

If you are a website designer you'd probably find this information useful as its going to make things much easier for you. . Meanwhile this information is particularly targeted at those who already know about Wordpress Multi Site and how to use it.

Firstly i will give a little introduction to wordpress multisite.

 Introduction: As of WordPress 3.0, you have the ability to create a network of sites by using the multisite feature. This article contains instructions for creating a multisite network.
A multisite network can be very similar to your own personal version of WordPress.com. End users of your network can create their own sites on demand, just like end users of WordPress.com can create blogs on demand. If you do not have any need to allow end users to create their own sites on demand, you can create a multisite network in which only you, the administrator, can add new sites.
A multisite network is a collection of sites that all share the same WordPress installation. They can also share plugins and themes. The individual sites in the network are virtual sites in the sense that they do not have their own directories on your server, although they do have separate directories for media uploads within the shared installation, and they do have separate tables in the database.
Then on to the main thing.
Requirements:
1. A registered domain name.
2. A Wordpress multisite installation.

WordPress Multisite Domain-Mapping Setup

  1. Install WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin. Activate it Network-wide.
  2. You have to edit the following line in wp-config.php file. (vim /var/www/example.com/htdocs/wp-config.php)
define( 'SUNRISE', 'on' );
  1. The copy sunrise.php from Domain-mapping plugins folder to wp-content folder of your WordPress setup.
Move from this folder /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/sunrise.php ->  to this folder /var/www/example.com/htdocs/wp-content/
  1. After this, go then have to navigate to  Network Admin >> Dashboard >> Settings >> Domain Mapping menu.
  2. On next screen, either provide IP address of your server which you want to use with other domains.
  3. Apart from this, you will notice few more settings: “Domain Options”. You can leave them as it is. I recommend enabling the “Permanent redirect” option.
That’s all. At this point your WordPress network is ready to handle domain mapping.

Mapping External Domains to sites in WordPress-Multisite (Continuous)

You can create new sites as usual in your WordPress-Multisite network. You will need to follow these extra steps in case you wish to map one or more domains to network sites.
  1. Go to Network Admin >> All Siteslist
  2. Click on edit link for a site for which you want to map external domain.
  3. If link is => http://example.com/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=5 ; your site-id => 5
  4. Go to Network Admin >> Dashboard >> Settings >> Domains
  5. Look for New Domain option
  6. Enter site-id and external-domain name.
  7. Click Save button!
Screenshot:
At this point, you need to add an A-record for external domain at your DNS registrar end. Since instructions for them vary from domain to domain its not possible to post all of them here! Go to your domain registrar or contact support to get proper instructions on how to add a records on your domain registrar.
You can also contact me if you have problems doing this.

The futuristic augmented reality glasses prototype showcased by Google this week could be closer to launch than previously thought, as the company’s co-founder was spotted wearing a pair of them at a recent social event. Tech pundit Robert Scoble tweeted last night a photo of Sergey Brin sporting a pair in San Francisco, saying “The Google Glasses are real!”
Google revealed its futuristic dream to mass-produce the hybrid glasses in a video showing the metallic glasses frame with a thin device above the right eye that can display information typically handled by smartphones, such as taking pictures, checking the weather, getting directions or scheduling meetings.
The video is titled “One day…” and Google didn’t indicate when Project Glass would be available to the public. Earlier reports scooping this story indicate it could be by the end of the year for $250 to $500, but Google is keeping quiet on such dates.
Image Credit: Robert ScobleWith Sergey Brin wearing a prototype of the glasses in public already, it’s possible they are closer to launch than the video concept let slip. Scoble also noted that Brin “wouldn't let me wear the Google Glasses but I could see they were flashing info to him,” and “they look very light weight. Not much different than a regular set of glasses.”
What’s interesting about the Google Glasses prototype Brin was wearing is that although they looked self-contained, he was wearing a backpack during the charity evening – which some speculate it could have been some sort of battery pack to power the unfinished prototype.
Meanwhile, my PCWorld colleagues Howard Baldwin and Ed Oswald have opposing viewpoints on Google's Project Glass eyewear, including the potential privacy issues.

Read his Facebook post on this below.

I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram and that their talented team will be joining Facebook.

For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.

We believe these are different experiences that complement each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram's strengths and features rather than just trying to integrate everything into Facebook.

That's why we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently. Millions of people around the world love the Instagram app and the brand associated with it, and our goal is to help spread this app and brand to even more people.

We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We plan on keeping features like the ability to post to other social networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have followers and follow people separately from your friends on Facebook.

These and many other features are important parts of the Instagram experience and we understand that. We will try to learn from Instagram's experience to build similar features into our other products. At the same time, we will try to help Instagram continue to grow by using Facebook's strong engineering team and infrastructure.

This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users. We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any at all. But providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing these two companies together.

We're looking forward to working with the Instagram team and to all of the great new experiences we're going to be able to build together.

Facebook buys Instagram for $1 billion.

A test flight of the 'world's fastest plane' has ended in disaster after the vehicle crashed into the Pacific Ocean.

The US military's Falcon HTV-2 - which travels 22 times faster than a commercial airliner - was launched amid promises of flights from London to Sydney in less than an hour.
Attached to the back of a rocket, the plane blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, before detaching at the edge of space.
But after around nine minutes, the craft stopped sending signals and is believed to have plunged into the ocean.
Engineers had hoped to guide the plane on a hypersonic flight, and that it would reach speeds of around 13,000mph upon its return to Earth.
Travelling at about 20 times the speed of sound and withstanding temperatures of 2,000C, the plane was designed as part of a research project.
A previous launch attempt was abandoned and plane designs changed in April due to a fault on board the aircraft.
Nine minutes into that previous mission, at which point the plane had flown for 139 seconds reaching 16,700mph, an onboard computer detected an anomaly and ordered the plane to ditch in the ocean for safety reasons.
A second attempt on Wednesday was delayed to Thursday because of poor weather conditions.
