Facebook Trends are Controlled by Fresh Graduates

May 23, 2016 by computerera


The trending topics of Google is what we see interestingly while logging in. They include the top trending searches and viewing topics (as we are considering). Unfortunately, the topics are not the actual organic trends but the manipulated results of the algorithms managed by some college going students or recent college graduates with little to no work experience.

The human monitoring is needed as the past trending terms are flagged as junk up to 40% of the content. This proved that relying solely on the computer generated algorithms cannot determine what a human wanted. That means, Facebook have a big responsibility to take care of the trending topics.

The influential newspaper stated that the trending updates in social media are not the due to the non-institutional bias but is a individual judgement. In that case, an experienced person should take of the hump of data that is flowing on the internet.

The digital marketing field indirectly depends on the trending topics and their reach. If a biggie like Facebook leave it to a individual judgement, what the markets should follow?

This news might disappoint the individuals and digital marketers but better look out for another ship rather than depending on the trends on social media.

Security Issues Found in Lenovo PCs

May 21, 2016 by computerera

Bloatware is what companies are adding to the devices unpacked. Though it may promote the company’s useless applications that are purposelessly installed by default. The bloatware not only eat the memory on the device but also brings vulnerabilities along with them as per the observation kept on Lenovo PCs causing security issues.

The Lenovo computers that are shipped in between the years 2014 and 2015 have exposed a log of non-identifiable Pc information to the Lenovo resulting in the installing of OneKey Optimizer bloatware on the laptops in their first connection to the internet itself. There also found some other vulnerabilities that tend PC to clean install the OS with their malware activity.

The online security of Lenovo laptops has remained a question with the inclusion of unnecessary software on the computers. Many security issues of such behaviours that are found later didn’t follow the guidelines of anti-theft software.

Since the security systems are expelling the Lenovo’s bloatware and other suspicious behaviours of the computer, the company have stopped producing the machines like Service Engines for enterprises.

We have already seen a malware called Superfish Visual Discovery, a browser extension that recommends the cheaper alternatives to the product images on the webpage. it might sound useful but annoying when it overtakes the browser expereince.

Windows 8 operating system is some what constant in resisting these malware behaviours with its built-in Platform Binary Table feature.

However, if you using the Windows operating system that is lower than Windows 8, you should be aware of the unknown activity on the system. Think a while before buying the Lenovo computers.

Another Telugu girl Vaidehi Reddy is studying in Army Public School located in Pune and Raviteja Anumukonda is studying in Chirec Public School, Hyderabad. Other two belongs to Ghaziabad and Chennai.

Google gave them a task to create a campaign on online safety to stop harassment online and other safety issues. They prepared the campaigns in the form of videos and sketches and apps.

Mavika Boyini made a few cartoons by stating that don’t post any content which your grandmother would not like. Kanish Chugh from Ghaziabad came up with an anti-phishing game which educates us on phishing attacks. Raviteja focussed on password strength we have to follow while creating the online accounts. Google gifts all the five winners with Chromebooks and tablets. Congrats to those winners on behalf of “Computer Era”.
