How to Enable Secure Facebook Browsing

Eric — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:32:12 +0000

I know many of you like to use your Facebook on public access areas like cafe, library and etc, because enabling secure browsing for an account ensures that data cannot be monitored by other users of the network or the ISP. This feature is not enables by default, but you can change it in your Facebook setting easily.

Just go to Account Setting > Security > Secure Browing, tick the checkbox “Choose Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible” and then save it.

Next time when you login to your Facebook, you will see https url instead of http url on the browser location bar. Anyway, perhaps you will ask, why doesn’t Facebook enable Secure browsing by default for all users? Hmmm…there are 2 reasons as below:-
1. Page loading speed is much slower over a secure connection.
2. Some Facebook apps will not support secure https connections.

How to Change Facebook Font Size Bigger

Eric — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 07:27:36 +0000

Personally, I don’t like Facebook changed its new feed to a smaller font size, I believe that many of you have complained about this. May be Facebook has their own reason to change the new feed font size, but I really can’t accept it because it is really hurt my eyes.

If you want to make font size bigger, you actually can do it. On your web browser, press CTRL and + (or, CMD and + on Mac) on your keyboard to increase the font size and press CTRL and – (CMD and -, for Mac) to decrease font size. This is only way you can do with changing the font size on web browser.

I hope Facebook can change back the font size like before, and I can’t find any reason why bigger font size looks bad.

Amazing Idea! How to Refrain People From Stealing Your Crops in Barn Buddy

Eric — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 05:09:18 +0000

Barn Buddy is one of the most popular Facebook games that allows you to work with your friends to grow farm. Apart from planting seeds, caring and harvesting your plants, you can visit your friends’ farms to help them by watering, spraying for bugs, and weeding their garden, the most interesting thing is that you can even steal some of their crops to earn so coins.

We don’t like people to steal our crops, right? This will decrease our coins earning, if you get a dog your friends will have a tough time stealing from you or putting weeds and bugs on your farm. For those people who not aware, those people who have guard dog also can’t refrain people from stealing your crops because if we keep pressing the Steal Tool for stealing, at last we also can successfully steal their crops.

So how to refrain people from stealing your crops with safe? Look at the above picture, this is my friend’s farm, this is how he do to refrain people from stealing his crops. I don’t think this is not a clever idea, because all of us also can do it if we like. I was thinking that if you do it like this, and all of your neighbors follow you, then this game will become not fun at all, am I right? I don’t like people to do like this!

My suggestion to Barn Buddy, hope they can make a little bit changes on this game, they should restrict certain items to be placed on the top of plant areas.
