Now I know that most people have no idea what I am talking about but trust me this little tip is a good one.

Facebook is now rolling out this feature so if it isn’t there try again later.
- Goto ‘Account’ in the upper right hand corner of your facebook page,
- Click on ‘Account Settings’
- Click on ‘Account Security’
- Check the box   Secure Browsing (https)
Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible
- Click   SAVE

Now when you visit facebook.com you will be on a secure connection and snooping isn’t possible.
And that is your Best Bet!

There is concern that watching 3-D screens could potentially damage kids’ eyes.

In a statement, Nintendo of America spokesman Charlie Scibetta said Friday that parents should use the parental controls on the 3DS to restrict access to the system’s 3D mode. The 3DS goes on sale in February in Japan and in March in the U.S. and Europe.

Nintendo has not announced a price for the system in the U.S. In Japan it will cost 25,000 yen ($304).
