#FaceBook to create #LookBack videos when you die .#RememberingOurLovedOnes #JTB
Facebook have plans to make videos of the past when you die,this falls into the question many people ask what happens to your digital legacy now facebook are moving in on this territory..
By Chris Price and Alex DiSclafani, Facebook Community Operations
As members of Facebook’s Community Operations team, we talk to people who use Facebook every day and we’re committed to making their experience better. Some of the people who reach out to us are grieving the death of a friend or family member, and they usually ask for their loved one’s timeline to be memorialized.
Over the past several months, we’ve been thinking about and working on better ways for people to remember loved ones. As we continue to think through each aspect of memorialization, we ask ourselves questions that have no easy answers: How might people feel? Are we honoring the wishes and legacy of the person who passed away? Are we serving people who are grieving the loss of a loved one as best we can?
Based on conversations inspired by these questions, we’ve decided to make an important change to how we preserve legacies on Facebook. Up to now, when a person’s account was memorialized, we restricted its visibility to friends-only. This meant that people could no longer see the account or any of its content unless they were Facebook friends with the person who passed away. Starting today, we will maintain the visibility of a person’s content as-is. This will allow people to see memorialized profiles in a manner consistent with the deceased person’s expectations of privacy. We are respecting the choices a person made in life while giving their extended community of family and friends ongoing visibility to the same content they could always see.
Today, we’re also glad to begin offering a way for anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one to see that person’s “Look Back” video. In recognition of our ten-year anniversary, a group of our engineers created personal movies for people using some of the posts and photos they had shared over the years. For one man in Missouri, the Look Back video he was most desperate to watch was one that had not yet been made. John Berlin reached out to ask if it was possible for Facebook to create a video for his son, Jesse, who passed away in 2012. We had not initially made the videos for memorialized accounts, but John’s request touched the hearts of everyone who heard it, including ours.
Since then, many others have asked us to share the Look Back videos of their loved ones, too, and we’re now glad to be able to fulfill those requests (video requests can be made here).
Changes like this are part of a larger, ongoing effort to help people when they face difficult challenges like bereavement on Facebook. We will have more to share in the coming months as we continue to think through how best to help people decide how they want to be remembered and what they want to leave behind for loved ones.

Updates to the Dropbox Terms of Service and Privacy Policy #Dropbox #JTB
Drop box users have new terms of service and privacy policy
From dropbox!
Hi Jim,
We want to let you know about some upcoming updates to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. These updates will go into effect onMarch 24, 2014.
You can find more details on our blog, but here’s a quick overview:
- We’re adding an arbitration section to our updated Terms of Service. Arbitration is a quick and efficient way to resolve disputes, and it provides an alternative to things like state or federal courts where the process could take months or even years. If you don’t want to agree to arbitration, you can easily opt out via an online form, within 30-days of these Terms becoming effective. This form, and other details, are available on our blog.
- We’ve added a section to our Privacy Policy that discusses our recently launched Government Data Request Principles. We’ve also made clarifications to better explain how our services will use your information. For example, we explain that when you give us access to your contacts, we’ll store them so that you – and only you – can do things like share your stuff easily, no matter what device you’re using.
- We’ve also updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to better explain and reflect our growing list of features for Dropbox for Business customers.
While we’ve simplified much of the language, our commitment to keeping your stuff safe and secure hasn’t changed. We don’t sell your personal information to third parties. We don’t serve ads based on the stuff you store in our services. As always, your stuff is yours.
If you have any questions about these updates, you can read more onour blog or email us at tos-questions@dropbox.com.
Thanks for using Dropbox!

Nokia Lumia 1320 leather case by @noreve review . #Nokia #Lumia #Noreve #Cases
Nokia Lumia 1320 leather case by @noreve review . #Nokia #Lumia #Noreve #Cases
Quality case makers for mobile phones and laptops noreve exclusively sent us over one of their first Lumia 1320 cases to try out,we have had the 1320 and also the 1520 a good while now and loving them both..
Noreve dont mess around when it comes to options to customise your case they have multiple options for you to pic from offering that leading edge over many case makers for mobile devices,this is also a great attribute to the company,people want an option to customize noreve give it to you..
For most presentation is a key factor when it comes to purchasing things,eye candy packaging with bright colours and plastic bags are whats the norm for online in most cases but noreve have packed in another thump here with beautifully presented packaging .
As you can see above this is the case that your cover will arrive in well presented.but there’s more..
Open the case to find a top quality pouch to leave your case should you not use it or swap for another,this is an option to not have it lying around and kept protected inside the box..
Elegant case conceived in top quality handcrafted leather
– Easy-to-close case without non-magnetic closure nor snap closure
– Slim and padded design
– Protects the device in an optimal manner
– Access to basic functions (multiple openings on the leather)
– Camera lens & flash access
– Headphones and headset jack access
– Charging and synchronization cable access
– Beautiful interior lining embossed with the Noreve logo
The case is quite plain and in leather on the exterior ,it feels soft and comfortable to hold and you can clean it easily should you get any dirt on it.
On the front of the case the noreve logo is on the top right slightly raised and slightly embedded into the front face.
The top of the case gives ample access to the earphone socket,and clips on via a small flap,easy to open and close.
The bottom gives you access to the micro usb port again plenty of room to play with here so its no problem to insert and remove usb connectivity accessories.
The back of the case is also plain with clearance for the camera and the speaker ,camera at top speaker at bottom end.
On closer inspection i did find a rather big gap between the body of phone and the case which looks somewhat different to other cases ive used but it had no effect on the camera,some cases which are very close to body and cover,can effect camera performance from my experience distorting or ruining images,giving a flash like effect on the photo,this did not happen here im glad to say.
The right hand side of the case allows full access to your keys it might take some to wiggle the fingers a bit to get used to but all news cases will cause that,where’s the button effect when new all in all again comfortable to use no problems.
The left side has nothing to see just plain as there is no buttons or slots here ,why add something not required..
With the case open you can see the quality inner finish of the case embossed the noreve logo,feels quite nice..
The phone is big and so the case naturally will be and this does add a fair bit onto the devices size and weight,but its comfortable to hold,very solid,if i dropped my device with this id get some satisfaction my phone would be ok ,all of course on how, and how high it was dropped form,from a dropping from an typical standing point i think you would be fine.
Overall the case is very nice,its quality and presentation is great only issue i have with these flip wallets they are not for me,especially on 6 inch devices,opening and closing the flap can get in your way,but thats just my personal opinion. Im more or a open gel case type or non flip wallet type person,so been this my first time to use such a case it was different,its nice to use,also considering the fact we have a big phone and case on tow you can see what i mean when you go to open and close this type of case will have,again a matter of getting used to,just like phablets themselves.
Once again than you to noreve for sending us over this case and gald you chose us to check it out.
Noreve have also said they will be sending us a lumia 1520 case and we look forward to that and sharing our review..
