Facebook Rewards $500 for Every Bug Reported: "

Remember Google’s Chrome “Bug Bounty” program? Well, when Google released Google Chrome 12, it announced on its blog that it rewarded developers/researchers who found vulnerabilities (bugs) in its code. Earlier in August 2010, it was reported that Google gave away a total estimate of $10k of rewards. Mozilla too has the bug bounty program which pays $3,000 in hard cash plus a free Mozilla T-shirt for finding bugs!

Facebook has joined Google and Mozilla, and is following the “Bug Bounty” program, by rewarding its security researchers. However, the reward offered is way too less. For security related bugs – cross site scripting flaws, for example – the company will pay a base rate of $500, but if they’re highly significant flaws, Facebook has promised to pay more. However, the company executives haven’t revealed the bonus reward.

“To show our appreciation for our security researchers, we offer a monetary bounty for certain qualifying security bugs,” Facebook stated on its portal.

Facebook launched a new Whitehat hacking portal where researchers can sign up for the program and report bugs. They have also published a list of about 42 researchers who have made “responsible disclosures” in the past.

With over 750 million active users, looks like Facebook is highly concerned about its security issues. Facebook hired a computer hacker who was recently sued by Sony for hacking the online gaming system PlayStation 3, last month

If a bug has been discovered, the researchers are asked to provide as much information as possible. In order to receive the award, a detailed explanation of steps is required and all legitimate reports will be investigated.

Here’s the company’s policy -

“If you give us a reasonable time to respond to your report before making any information public and make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data and interruption or degradation of our service during your research, we will not bring any lawsuit against you or ask law enforcement to investigate you.”

In addition to that, the researcher who reports a bug first is only rewarded. For instance, if two researchers find the same bug individually, the first one who reports it will be eligible to claim the reward.

Facebook’s Bug Bounty Eligibility Rules

In order to be eligible for the reward, researchers must follow to Facebook’s Responsible Disclosure Policy.

SSC Tuatara: Shelby SuperCars Tuatara, World’s Fastest Production Car: "

Shelby Supercars has revealed the name of the car it hopes will become the fastest production car in the world: the SSC Tuatara.

The Tuatara is the second hypercar from the American manufacturer, and marks a revolutionary advancement over the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.

The 792kW/1357Nm Ultimate Aero TT set the record for the fastest production car in September 2007. Its speed of 412km/h (256mph) eclipsed the previous record, which was held by the Bugatti Veyron.

The French manufacturer returned fire in June last year with the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which shattered the SSC at a blistering 431km/h (268mph).

Reports suggest Shelby Supercars is aiming to reach 275mph (443km/h) with the 993kW 7.0-litre twin-turbo V8-powered Tuatara.

Shelby Supercars is yet to announce when the Tuatara will hit the road, although some have suggested it could be planning a record-breaking run before the end of the year.

The Tuatara name is inspired by a reptile from New Zealand, which is a direct descendent of the dinosaurs. Translated directly from Maori it means ‘peaks on the back’ – fitting given the aerodynamic winglets at the rear.

The Tuatara also has the fastest evolving DNA in the world, a trait that SSC founder Jerod Shelby believes his company shares.

“Most manufacturers essentially use the same basic model and body shape for up to 10 years, while only making small refinements to it each year,” Mr Shelby said.

“After only three years in production with the Ultimate Aero, SSC’s Tuatara is about to monumentally evolve in the areas of sophistication, design, aerodynamics and shear all‐around performance. We felt that the fastest evolving DNA was a perfect definition of SSC’s latest project.”

Expect more details of the SSC Tuatara to be revealed in the coming months.

Until then, let us know what you think of the name and the design.

The Arkansas Travelers to Resume ‘Pre-Game Midget Wrestling’ Promo Night: "

Good news if you’re a fan of the Texas League’s Arkansas Travelers, the Double-A affiliate of the Anaheim Angels.

INDIAN Model Poonam Pandey Vows To Go Nude If India Wins Cricket World Cup: "
So… The biggest sporting event in the world that no one in America really cares about (except many New York taxi drivers, bodega owners, and Dunkin’ Donut clerks everywhere) happened earlier today: India defeated Pakistan to advance to the 2011 Cricket World Cup Final. That’s a pretty big deal in the Asian subcontinent since, you know, the two countries kinda, sorta hate each other and have gone to war four times in the last century. (In an initial gesture of potential reconciliation, the two countries’ prime ministers sat together at the game.) Anyway, one of the more interesting aspects of this year’s World Cup is how Indian model Poonam Pandey is taking a page straight from Larissa Riquelme’s playbook of fanatical national sports pride. The 20-year-old actress and model is vowing to strip naked. According to the Times of India, she’s doing it “to excite our boys to play better” and has “no qualms about undressing in the stadium, if law permits.” She adds, “I’m a cricket fanatic and I’m a diehard supporter of my nation. India needs a lot of support and this is my way of supporting the team.” The more important question: In terms of looks, is this chick even in the same league as Riquelme? Judge for yourself with more of her bikini photos the jump.

‘Swinging With The Finkels’ Trailer: Mandy Moore Gets Raunchy: "

She’s best known for her teen popstar days and sweet films such as “American Dreamz,” “A Walk To Remember,” and “The Princess Diaries.” She’s even voiced a Disney Princess, Rapunsel in “Tangled.”

Now, Mandy Moore is growing up on the big screen — by getting super raunchy.

The 27-year old singer/actress stars in the upcoming comedy, “Swinging With The Finkels,” as one half of a sexually stagnant couple looking for answers to their relationship drag. Her solution? She proposes to husband Martin Freeman (of UK “The Office” and “The Hobbit fame) that the two become swingers — or, a couple that has sex with another.

In this trailer for the flick — which has already come out in the UK — Moore shows her new side with an especially embarrassing vibrator scene that involves Jerry Stiller. Not that any vibrator scene with Jerry Stiller wouldn’t be embarrassing, but this one is especially cringe-inducing.

Kelly Rowland Wardrobe Malfunction Photos (Onstage Nipple Slip Pic): "

Kelly Rowland had a wardrode malfunction, nip slip or whatever you want to call it and exposed her nipple to a packed crowd at Club 4Sixty6 as she performed her song “Motivation” in West Orange, New Jersey.

As Kelly was surrounded by shirtless men, her bra rode up and exposed her nipple as she performed several dance moves.

She handled it in good spirits and after the show she tweeted, “New Jersey crowd was amazing!! hope you enjoyed the show and didnt mind the peekaboo LOL!!! #kanyeshrug #stuffhappens”

Let’s just be happy that Kelly’s peekaboo moment is something that we can just shrug off, because stuff does happen!
