Facebook increases picture size
SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook is increasing the size of photos that people post to its website and making them load twice as fast as before.
Photos will now be 33 per cent wider, with a variable height. The last time the company increased its photo size was in March 2010.
Facebook said that sharing photos is one of the most popular activities on its social network.
Users upload more than 250 million photos each day. Facebook said the new features will be available to users over the next few days.
The changes come the same week that Facebook said it is letting users pre-approve having their names attached to a photo posted by a friend before that photo appears on their profile.
The tagged photo will still appear on the friend's page and could show up in the news feeds of common friends.
But users can remove their names after the photos are posted.

Facebook adds slew of privacy options, allows Universal Tagging
Facebook has made several changes to its privacy options, all of which are scheduled to roll out globally on the 25th of August. While Facebook insists the old controls were just as transparent and easy to use, the evident aim of the revamp was to make the options more immediately apparent to the user, and not have them buried in some obscure location.
The biggest change is probably the new inline sharing options provided each time a user uploads an item of content, and for all the content on a user’s wall. This includes status updates. Users will also be able to select a particular sharing settings as default, allowing for ease-of-repeated-use.
Tagging approval has also been added, giving users the option to approve a tagging before it appears on their profile. Users can also de-tag themselves from an object, by sending a de-tag request, blocking the offending user from further tagging, or directly removing the tag.
Also part of the update is the universal tagging, allowing users to tag anyone on Facebook, not just their friends on Facebook – making it easy to imagine why the de-tagging and tagging approval feature finally got implemented.
Location tagging has also been added across versions of Facebook, not just mobile ones. Last but not least is the profile view feature, enabling users to easily see how others view their profile, with a button near News Feed.

Facebook snatches NIT Warangal student for Rs 45L salary
HYDERABAD: It's raining lucrative jobs at NIT Warangal which has had the best placement season so far. The 51-year-old institute started its recruitment drive on August 15 and already has a 21-year-old fourth year BTech computer science student securing the highest ever pay package of Rs 45 lakh per annum. The offer, made by Facebook, has created a record of sorts here. The institute confirmed that the student will be joining the technical wing of the social networking giant, as soon as he completes his course in March next year.
This has set a new benchmark at NIT Warangal in that the highest salary any student from the institute had bagged so far was Rs 20 lakh per annum. From the 2010-11 batch as many as three students had got jobs that paid them Rs 20 lakh per annum, sources at NIT said. It is not just the 21-year-old whizkid who has bagged a hefty package this year. According to sources, the salaries offered to students so far range anywhere between Rs 5 to Rs 12 lakh per annum. The recruitment process for this year that started on August 15 is expected to last till March 2012. Sources said that most of the recruiters so far are IT companies.
About 30 students from computer science stream of the institute have already been recruited. Eight companies have come in for recruitment in the first round so far. According to NIT officials, this year other than the usual brand of companies several new ones have expressed interest in hiring. "Companies have now shed the recession blues completely and are looking for fresh candidates to recruit. Many of them like Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle and Google could recruit more number of freshers than they did last year," said a senior professor from the institute. Last year, 92% students from the B Tech batch of the institute and 50 % students from M Tech batch were recruited by companies. The average pay package offered by companies last year was between Rs 6 and Rs 7 lakh per annum. The institute officials are expecting a considerable increase in the pay packages this year. NIT professors said that this year, several companies have been vying for the first interview slots with students.
"Most of the IT companies are willing to pay really well to bright students who get absorbed in the first or second interview. The companies who come for interviews later could offer bigger packages to students. We'll have to wait and watch what the salary trend this year is," said an official from NIT.

Facebook pays out $40,000 to white hat hackers under "bug bounty" programme
Facebook has shelled out nearly $40,000 in the first three weeks of a programme that rewards white hat experts for detecting security holes in the social networking website. The “bug bounty” programme is aimed at encouraging security experts to help ramp up Facebook's security against cyber attacks. Facebook paid more than $7,000 for detecting as many as six serious bugs in the site. The social networking company runs the programme alongside its other measures to ward off threats to the site.
Facebook chief security officer Joe Sullivan disclosed some of the information of the ongoing bug bounty programme in a blog post. He said in the post that the programme had made Facebook more secure by bringing the networking site to "novel attack vectors, and helping us improve lots of corners in our code". Sullivan revealed that the minimum sum paid for bug detecting is $500, which can be extended up to $5,000 depending upon the seriousness of the loophole detected. Facebook has already shelled out the maximum bounty once.
Sullivan adds that Facebook's initiative has received positive response worldwide. “We received really positive feedback when we launched our responsible disclosure policy last year, in which we told researchers we would not take adverse actions against them when they followed the policy in reporting bugs,” says Sullivan.
Facebook's bug bounty programme comes in the backdrop of escalating threats to the social networking site from cyber criminals and vandals. According to reports, Facebook has been a prime target of the cyber criminals and that they are looking out for different ways to extract confidential and useful information from Facebook users and promote spamming on the site.
Facebook has apparently gone extra mile by inviting bug hunters to ensure site's safety. Reports have claimed that Facebook is now in talks with third party institutions which are ensuring that the company's privacy policy also covered the white hat hackers.

Facebook overhauls photo feature, increases image size up to 960 pixels
Days after announcing a major overhaul to its privacy settings, Facebook has now updated its photo feature, increasing the resolution of the photos that people post on the website with less loading time. The new lightbox is neater and has more focus on the photo than the surrounding frame.
Now the photos you share on Facebook will have a bigger size, up to 960 pixels in width, and the photos you have already uploaded will be displayed at this higher resolution.
In addition to the enlarged photo size, Facebook has also revamped its popular photo viewer, the lightbox. The new viewer takes more screen space (as the size of the photos are now larger) and is now set against a simple white background that puts more of the focus on the photo.
