Facebook goes Lite!

facebook-lite

Popular social networking platform Facebook has introduced a lighter version for those who have a slow internet speed. The lighter version loads faster than the full version as it features the basic functions of Facebook.

The lighter version would have wall postings, photo and video uploads, events and profile search and browsing. The lighter version does not support any applications or special boxes. The users can switch to-and-fro the lighter and full version as and when required.

The lighter version would also be available in other languages as it is introduced in more countries. Lighter version is available in India (for obvious reason - slow internet speed) and US.

A girl named Lindsay got sacked on Facebook for calling her boss a Wanker. The girl bombarded all her office frustration by a coment on her Facebook profile. What this girl forgot was that she had her boss in her friend's list too. Which means her boss could read all her comments on facebook.

After five hours of her comment, her boss had the final word.

Burglar made fun of victim on her Facebook profile

BurglarLaptop

As if robbing the 52 year old Victoria Richardson was not enough, the burglar robbed her Facebook account also and taunted her on her own profile. 'Your Nigh Time Burglar' as he calls himself while signing off the victim's profile, managed to rob an iPhone, a Nintendo DS, a Toshiba Laptop and some usual stuff like cash and credit cards.

When Victoria logged in to her Facebook account, she discovered that the Burglar managed to rob her online too. The burglar proudly announces on the walls of victim's facebook profile "on my new laptop". Another one says "Listening to music on my new phone feels so good."

The thief then says that he left the television as it was "rubbish". "I have the laptop , phones ok but a bit scratched itll do, tv was rubbish so I left it , ds was a bonus, now to the porn shop, thankyou toshiba is my favourite make".

Then he sign-outs saying, "regards your night time burglar".

Poor Ms Richardson comments,

"I felt very spooked. I have never felt like that before. It felt like they were rubbing my nose in it.

"They have been in your physical space, and then they are in your online space. My friends could all see what they were writing so it was really degrading.

"It is bad enough being robbed in the first place but this invasion of my privacy has made it doubly painful."

Sussex Police showed their sympathy towards the victim and also said that they are doing their best to catch hold of the burglar,

"Being burgled is traumatic enough for any family but for the culprit to apparently use their stolen possessions to publicly gloat over the crime is a sinister twist.

"As with all burglaries we are taking the matter seriously and a thorough investigation is under way to bring this offender to justice."
