The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) already apologized for posting the photoshopped photo of its officials on its Facebook page.

However, that did not stop netizens to backlash the government agency even more. Apart from using Twitter and other social media sites to air their negative reactions, some Noypis actually took time to create photoshopped photos of the three DPWH officials in various places and events - even in movie and TV series scenes. Check out the said DPWH Photoshopped Photos below:

Dr. Larry Rosen, a Psychology professor at California State University, outlined his findings before the American Psychological Association over the weekend.



“While nobody can deny that Facebook has altered the landscape of social interaction, particularly among young people, we are just now starting to see solid psychological research demonstrating both the positives and the negatives,” said Rosen.



Here are negative effects of Facebook on kids according to Rosen:

1. Teens who are heavy gamers or Facebook users have more trouble sleeping, higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stomach aches.



2. Young adults and teens who spend their days inside Facebook are more narcissistic and show more signs of other psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania, and aggressive tendencies.



3. Students who use more technology are likely to miss more school.



4. The more teens and adults use Facebook, the more likely they are to also use alcohol.



5. Students from junior high through college age were observed to generally check social networks or text messages every few minutes while studying, leading to lower test performance than students who focus for longer periods of time.



6. The average teen sends 2000 texts per month, which can lead to problems communicating with family and even carpal tunnel syndrome in a few cases.

Rosen also laid out the following positive influences linked to social networking:

1. Young adults who spend more time on Facebook are better at showing “virtual empathy” to their online friends.



2. Online social networking can help introverted adolescents learn how to socialize behind the safety of various screens, ranging from a two-inch smartphone to a 17-inch laptop.



3. Social networking can provide tools for teaching in compelling ways that engage young students.

“If you feel that you have to use some sort of computer program to surreptitiously monitor your child's social networking, you are wasting your time. Your child will find a workaround in a matter of minutes,” he said. “You have to start talking about appropriate technology use early and often and build trust, so that when there is a problem, whether it is being bullied or seeing a disturbing image, your child will talk to you about it.” Rosen advises parents.

Not liking the new Facebook chat set-up? Do you prefer the old version instead?

Well, I recently followed a tutorial on how to restore the old version of Facebook chat and it worked. And believe it or not, it's pretty much fast and simple. It literally took me seconds to do the whole process (using Chrome). All you need to do is to install a small add-on and/or script depending on your browser (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.). Restart your browser and presto! - Facebook chat old version restored! Check out my Facebook homepage now:

A Facebook scam has emerged following the bombing incident in Oslo, Norway.

Through his blog, Chester Wisniewski, a Senior Security Advisor at Sophos Canada, said the scam started within hours after the bombing.

"Unfortunately within hours of the bombing Facebook scammers have latched on to the news and are trying to take advantage of the Facebook communities interest in learning the details of what happened," he said.

"The message spreading across thousands of people's walls on Facebook reads: "[URL] [Video] OSLO Security Camera Captures Blast! [Video] OSLO Security Camera Captures Blast!" Wisnieski wrote.

Wisniewski added that when the scam link is clicked the users will be redirected to an offsite page that looks like Facebook with a fake Youtube video player. He said, "a screen is grayed out until you agree to take survey to prove you are 18 years of age and click "Jaa".

"If someone is tempted to fill out the survey they are presented with an IQ test. Upon completion they are asked to enter their mobile phone number and will be charged two dollars per trivia question SMS'd to them four times per week."

"Keep your eye on the ball and expect these types of scams when tragedies are in the news," Wisniewski advised.
