Facebook Ban by Bangladesh GOVT

Bangladesh on Saturday temporarily blocked the social networking site Facebook amid demands by a radical organization to ban the website for hurting the sentiments of Muslims.
No official comment was immediately available for the closure of the popular network. However, an official source on condition of anonymity told PTI that the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission blocked it on directives from the government.
The private news agency said the measure was taken after a request from the elite anti-crime Rapid Action Battalion. Users were suddenly barred from logging into the network since 6.30 pm.
A RAB spokesman rejected the report, saying no request was made on their behalf to block the network. The development came two days after the leader of the radical Islamic Shashantantrik Andolon, Fazlul Haque Amini, demanded a ban on the network for alleged postings hurting religious sentiments.
Pakistan recently decided to cut off access to Facebook till May 31 over a page featuring blasphemous cartoons of Prophet Mohammed.
The Bangladesh government-run BSS news agency earlier on Saturday reported that the RAB troops arrested a 'cyber criminal' of the city on charges of 'cyber crimes'.
It said the detained man recently posted 'objectionable, disfigured and satirical photographs' of several government leaders using different accounts.

Facebook Launches New Mobile Site with No Data Fees for 45 country Ashia been ignored

Facebook has just launched a fast new mobile version in order to expand its international reach.

The new site, 0.Facebook.com, will be available in 45 countries through 50+ mobile and wireless network operators. It is a trimmed-down version of Facebook with most of the features of m.Facebook.com, including status updates, a newsfeed, Likes, wall posts and comments.

0.Facebook.com has a killer feature: Using it is free, regardless of data plan. The world’s largest social network got its 50+ launch partners to make 0.facebook.com a costless experience, except for photos. Operators such as T-Mobile, Digicel, Vodafone, and MTN all support the new Facebook initiative.

Because of its partnership with mobile carriers, there are a few caveats. First, 0.Facebook.com is only available to people on networks and countries that support it. You can find a full list of them here, but you won’t find the U.S., the UK, Japan, China, Germany or any other nations with strong wireless data networks on the list. This mobile site is built for nations where wireless data is far more expensive to acquire.

0.Facebook.com reminds us of Facebook Lite, the company’s first attempt to build a stripped-down version of its website. That project was shut down, but clearly many of the principles of Facebook Lite made it into 0.Facebook.com. Getting carriers to make it cost nothing to use could be what makes 0.Facebook a bigger success than its predecessor.

But we guys cant use it as most Part of Ashia is being not covered to get more detail on this may like to read the Facebook

What is the Microsoft Kin?

In a Digital Age where people young and old alike are relying on electronic devices to communicate, share information, and interact socially, the Microsoft Kin is poised to bridge what may be the most significant gap between digitized trends: A cell phone specifically designed to facilitate social networking.
And in a nutshell, that is the short, sweet, and simple answer to what is the Microsoft Kin: A cell phone by Microsoft. But considering its ambitious intent, its niche that has arguably already been met, and the technical specifications that have been leaked, the Microsoft cell phone deserves a closer look.

The Loop
The Microsoft Kin cell phone will have a user interface that will prominently feature a main screen called the KIND Loop, where the user will actually be able to directly and immediately update his or her social media accounts, such as Facebook and Twitter, although support for other social networking areas such as Bebo, MySpace, and Orkut are expected to be streamlined into the unit operation as well.
This is a significant advancement because, although prior phone models from other companies definitely had the capability to use mobile versions of those social networking sites and applications, the Microsoft Kin cell phone may be the first phone specifically primarily designed for optimizing the social networking experience on a mobile phone device.
The Features
Previously referred to in testing as Project “Pink” codename or phone-specific names like “Turtle” or “Pure,” the Microsoft Kin phone will arrive in two versions: Microsoft Kin One and Microsoft Kin Two. While the simplest difference is that Microsoft Kin Two is larger, there are a few more specifics in their deviations:
- One uses a compact keyboard for one-handed texting, while Two uses a larger keyboard for two-handed typing

- One has a 5-megapixel camera with flash that shoots SD video, while Two has an 8-megapixel camera with flash and SD-capability as well

- One uses a mono speaker, whereas Two uses stereo speakers without headphones

- One has 4 GB of memory, while Two has 8 GB.

Otherwise, the two are fairly similar: Both have a pan/scan/zoom-capable touchscreen, both hold a Zune-powered media player, both will boast the Verizon network, both use a version of the Windows Mobile operating system, and Microsoft Kin is expected to be available in the American market in May, then release in Europe by the end of the year.

Since the announcement of the Microsoft Kin cell phone on April 12, 2010, when Microsoft's Robbie Bach and Derek Snyder held a press conference in San Francisco, the internet has been abuzz with videos, transcripts, specifications, and other information tidbits concerning the Kin line of Microsoft cell phones. Although Microsoft has a somewhat spotty track record with its products overall, there is no denying its immense sway over the technology industry, and consumers can only hope that the Microsoft Kin delivers what it promises; in which case, millions of users will be sure to enjoy its social-networking emphasis and be able to interact with their friends with even more efficacy.
