Who owns and controls your Facebook information? Many have wondered this and the question was debated over the holiday weekend when Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerman addressed the question in a blog post. He sort of gave us an answer when he noted that the 5-year old Facebook's Terms of Service had undergone a major revision.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, replied yesterday in a blog post: “Our philosophy is that people own their information and control whom they share it with. When a person shares information on Facebook, they first need to grant Facebook a license to use that information so that we can show it to the other people they've asked us to share it with. Without this license, we couldn't help people share that information.”

We’ve been hearing about the Pantech Duo 2 for what seems like years (it’s actually been about nine months), but now it looks like the wait will soon be over.

Contrary to our previous reporting, however, the new Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Pantech smartphone probably won’t be called the Duo 2 when it hits store shelves, even though it’s obviously the follow-up to the current Pantech Duo. 

A newly released rebate form AT&T Wireless lists the C820 as the Matrix Pro.  This actually makes a lot of sense, being that a similar-looking device from Pantech, the Matrix, is already available from AT&T. The Matrix is a multimedia-enabled dumbfone, so it would appear the Matrix Pro will be the smarter sibling.

No word yet on a release date, but we assume based on that rebate form,  the Matrix Pro C820 is coming sooner rather than later.

In an attempt to make taking good pictures even easier, Sony announced five new Cyber-shot cameras (models DSC-T900, DSC-T90, DSC-W290, DSC-W230, and DSC-H20) with intelligent technologies that will sense surrounding conditions and adjust camera settings accordingly. The T900, T90, W290, and H20 models incorporate intelligent auto mode, which detects scene conditions and adjusts settings to match. Sony combined three key technologies in these cameras to enable them to take better pictures. The Intelligent scene

The big news from ASUS during this year’s Mobile World Congress was undoubtedly its partnership with Garmin on two Nuvifones. But hidden from the spotlight was this gem — news of a forthcoming Eee PC that would handle Windows 7 and feature integrated WiMAX. The company is scheduled to actually demonstrate a pair of 3.5G, Win7-based netbooks at the Barcelona show, with both the Eee PC 1003HA and the Eee PC T91 being chosen as guinea pigs.For the purposes of the demo, the latest build of Windows 7 Beta will be

The Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) in Europe, is attempting to create an emulator that aims to be able to open all electronic file formats since the 70's. The project is called KEEP, and new file formats will be able to be added retroactively once the project is done.

KEEP (Keeping Emulation Environments Portable) will develop an Emulation Access Platform to enable accurate rendering of both static and dynamic digital objects: text, sound, and image files; multimedia documents, websites, databases, videogames etc. The overall aim of the project is to facilitate universal access to our cultural heritage by developing flexible tools for accessing and storing a wide range of digital objects.

CNET has a nice article on how Panasonic can save Plasma TVs. Vizio and Pioneer have already stopped selling Plasmas. CNET Editor David Carnoy feels it is important that consumers continue to have more than one TV technology option when it comes to flat panel televisions and lists out a number of suggestions to Panasonic. Some may think it is okay for Plasma to exit the market, but the article raises some good points.

3. Launch a marketing campaign that touts plasma's advantages over LCD and negates its disadvantages. Panasonic's new line of more energy-efficient NEO PDP panels will go a long way toward leveling the playing field with LCD in terms of energy burn rates. But Panasonic also must put the burn-in issue to rest, putting its money where its mouth is with a lifetime guarantee against burn-in. It needs to do something bold there while touting plasma's strengths. Yes, LCD performance continues to improve, but entry-level plasmas still tend to outperform their LCD counterparts and offer better off-axis viewing (if you sit off to the side, the picture doesn't degrade as it does with many LCD models).
