Zynga rolled out "FarmVille 2" on Facebook this week -- but if fans were expecting an enhanced version of the same familiar game, they were in for a surprise. The two versions have little in common. For starters, "FarmVille 2" is the first Zynga game to be built entirely in 3D. The theme is also dif...
The White House launched new versions of its mobile app Tuesday, releasing the app source code along with the new version in an invitation for developers to tinker with the revamped iOS and Android apps. The apps, which have been rebuilt from the ground up, now feature live video streams of White Ho...
Facebook has given its Messages feature a redesign, endowing it with a two-panel layout that makes the social network's private communication platform look more like an e-mail client than its previous single-column interface. The revamped Facebook Messages has two sides. On the left, users will see...
Weeks after removing its find-friends feature from Instagram, Twitter has done the same to blogging service Tumblr. Twitter's already changed the rules for app developers in version 1.1 of its API, which is coming soon. Both parties took a low-key approach when asked to comment. "To our dismay, Twit...
A well-known iOS hacker who uses the handle "pod2g" revealed a flaw in Apple's mobile operating system, iOS, that he says can be exploited to alter the "reply to" information in SMS messages. Such a tactic could be used by cybermiscreants to pry sensitive information from the recipient of a message ...
While Twitter restricts users to just 140 characters in a single tweet, its developers are limited to just three characters -- namely its "API" -- and it's cracking down on that. Twitter announced Friday that it will further restrict developer access to its API -- discouraging services that tend to ...
Startup game company Goko emerged from its 2011 stealth launch on Thursday, officially unveiling its HTML5-based lineup. The company -- which released its software development kits to independent developers interested in publishing and monetizing games for the HTML5 platform -- has held its cards cl...
German data protection regulators reopened an investigation into Facebook's facial recognition technology Wednesday, claiming the social network failed to comply with official requests to alter its policies to match European regulations. The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of In...
Twitter cofounders Biz Stone and Evan Williams unveiled two new ventures this week, and this time they aren't limiting themselves -- or users for that matter -- to 140 characters. These new projects from Obvious Corporation, the startup headed by Stone and Williams, are Medium, a publishing platform...
The attack last week on journalist Mat Honan's iCloud account has the potential to strip the silver lining from the cybernimbus. Honan had his digital life destroyed when hackers, in a convoluted effort to hijack his Twitter account, ended up trashing everything connected to his Apple iCloud account...
Facebook filed a friend-of-the-court brief this week arguing that clicking on a "Like" button is akin to making a statement and therefore is protected speech. The case, being heard in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, stems from a 2009 incident in which a deputy sheriff, Daniel Ray Carte...
As digital horror stories go, Mat Honan's is a doozy. The Wired reporter had his iCloud account hacked and had his digital life wiped from cyberspace. Honan's attackers used a combination of tech savvy and social engineering. They used his public LinkedIn page to obtain his Gmail address. Then they ...
In the movies, hackers often type away at a keyboard and somehow -- movie magic, perhaps -- manage to crack a network's security and access encrypted files and protected data. In real life, bypassing security measures can be as simple as sweet-talking tech support. That is how tech journalist Mat Ho...
We watch citizens overthrow governments and assume the same thing couldn't happen here. But we have had one big civil war in the U.S., and several states -- including California, where I live -- have been talking about getting out of the U.S. for decades. What appears to keep us together isn't the p...
Facebook, which has seen its share prices fall since it went public in May, has disclosed that its user base may contain as many as 83 million illegitimate accounts. Facebook made the disclosures in its 10-Q form, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31. The revela...
Yes, communities and infrastructure can't keep up
Some projects are moving too fast
No, expansion is needed to meet demand
The pace seems about right
