You can unpin applications from the taskbar. Skype and Messenger both can be minimized to the system tray. Have a look see through their options. You can disable taskbar window grouping. You can unlock the taskbar and drag it to the right or left of the screen for your vertical layout. You can put shortcut icons in a folder and add a new toolbar to have your icons of other programs. If you actually [i]used[/i] Windows 7 or took the time to, you'd know this.

Facebook's URL Scanner Vulnerable To Cloaking Attack 34

Posted by timothy from the spy-vs-jerk dept.
Facebook's recent move to scan for malicious URLs sounded like a pretty good idea, but itwbennett writes with word that it's already been bypassed.'Hatter,' a member of hacking think-tank Blackhat Academy, provided a live demonstration, which involved posting the URL to a JPEG file on a wall. Facebook crawled the URL and added a thumbnail image to the wall post, however, clicking on its corresponding link actually redirected users to YouTube. This happened because the destination page was able to identify Facebook's original request and served a JPEG file. Earlier this week, Facebook signed a partnership with Websense to use the security vendor's cloud-based, real-time Web scanner for malicious URL detection. Blackhat Academy has now provided proof-of-concept code, which, according to its advisory, can be used to bypass it."
