Facebook launches Messenger App for Windows

After launching the Messenger Apps for various mobile platforms such as iOS, Android and the BlackBerry, it seems like Facebook now wants us to experience its Messenger App on our desktops as well. The company has officially released the Messenger client for Windows that lets users chat with their buddies through their computers. Users don’t have to go through the entire process of first launching the main Facebook app and then look for who all have sent messages to them. The Messenger App basically brings the side-bar that you see on the right side of the Facebook page on your desktop. It also has the Message, Friend Request and Notifications icon on the top and if you click on the ticker, you’ll be redirected to Facebook.com.

Facebook Is Tracking Your Every Move on the Web; Here’s How to Stop It

Over the weekend, Dave Winer wrote an article at Scripting.com explaining how Facebook keeps track of where you are on the web after logging in without your consent. Nik Cubrilovic dug a little deeper, and discovered that Facebook can still track where you are, even if you log out. Facebook, for its part, has denied the claims. Regardless of who you believe, here's how to protect yourself, and keep your browsing history to yourself.

Mac OS X 10.7 Lion GM Torrent hits Pirate Bay

Download Link after the break
As one might expect, the GM Seed of Lion looks like it is making the rounds in the Torrent sites.  This is interesting this time around because Apple is distributing the install via the App Store (for a very reasonable $30) which has tracking codes embedded in the download.  That means whoever leaked this is probably going to get in some trouble.  We’re assuming most people who choose to download this version will be doing so for the two week head start rather than trying to save $30.

Might be better to just plunk $99 down for a developer account?
