This changes how some privacy settings are accessed on the Facebook website. A previous article on TechUserFriendly.com dealt with how to change Facebook’s Instant Personalization Pilot Program privacy settings, so that it would be disabled for your account.

Continue reading “Updated: Disable Facebook Instant Personalization Pilot Program” A recent new feature from Facebook is the Facebook Instant Personalization Pilot Program, which acts to personalize your visits to other selected partner websites such as MicrosoftDocs.com, Pandora, and Yelp. This personalization feature will make it so that information is tailored towards you on these external partner websites, based on your "public Facebook information". But it may be difficult for you to know exactly what information in your Facebook profile is public (i.e. your Facebook Friends list). To get greater control over your online privacy in relation to Facebook, you may choose to opt-out of this program. If you do not want this feature activated, then you can disable it through the Facebook Privacy Settings, using the steps shown here. Update: Facebook recently changed their privacy setting layout. New and slightly different instructions for Facebook’s "Improved Privacy Controls" are here.

One potential problem with the picture may be if someone in the shot has obviously oily skin or shiny skin, which may have been made worse by your camera flash or by the surrounding lighting. One reason to remove, repair, or reduce the unflattering appearance of oily or shiny skin on someone’s face, would be to prevent embarrassing that person in a picture that must be shared, as it may be a one-of-a-kind moment or meeting between friends, for example. At any rate, the following is a quick and simple method to fix or improve the shine on a person’s face in a photo, whether it involves someone’s forehead, cheeks, nose, or other area of their face. Photoshop is used for the method below to reduce the appearance of oily or shiny skin. Continue reading “Repair Oily or Shiny Skin on a Person’s Face in a Photo” Here is another AVCHD Lite video sample for free download, from the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Continue reading “Download Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Sample AVCHD Lite Video Featuring 12x Zoom” Here are two sample HD videos in the AVCHD Lite format, presented for free download as original and unedited MTS files. They were filmed using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Please note, these videos were not originally made for use as video samples, thus they were not filmed under controlled conditions (i.e. please excuse the bit of shakiness and imprecise zooming in these samples). But this may give you a representation of real-world use and conditions, where people get in your view to throw off the camera’s focus, or you may zoom in a little too much only to zoom out a bit which makes the camera work harder to focus. Overall, the Panasonic ZS3 does well under these conditions and is easy to handle. The emphasis in these samples is on the zoom power, and the picture quality or sharpness.

, for networks with both Windows 7 and Windows Vista computers. 
. This sample video, available as an unedited MTS file, features the 12x zoom capability of the camera; the Panasonic ZS3 can zoom while recording video. The video begins at the widest angle, at 1x zoom, then zooms in at its top speed until it reaches the maximum 12x zoom. This should give a good idea of the high picture quality that is maintained throughout the zooming up through the maximum 12x zoom, as well as the speed and smoothness of the zoom function. The video is recorded handheld, without a tripod.
