How To Disable Facebook Timeline Using Browser Extension

Finally We have found a way to switch back to old Facebook from new Timeline interface. Many users have found the new timeline interface annoying. The new timeline interface is complicated and very cluttered. Old Facebook interface was much simpler and cleaner compared to Timeline. When Facebook rolled out this new interface they didn’t give users option to  choose between the interfaces. After searching all over the web we have finally found a solution to switch to old Facebook. All you have to do is install an extension in your browser. The name of extension is TimeLineRemove. The extension installs quickly and gives you easy, two-click access to disabling Facebook’s Timeline view. You can download the extension by clicking here.

Google Pays Apple $1 Billion Per Year to be the Default Search Engine on Safari

Google reportedly pays Apple $1 billion per year to be the default search engine on Safari, according to Macquarie analyst Ben Schachter

We know that Apple TAC is accounted for in the Google.com TAC line item reported each quarter by Google. For 2011, Google reported ~$1.5bn in total Google.com TAC. For modelling purposes, we assume that Apple represented ~66% of this TAC (though we acknowledge that this could be high), or $1bn. At a 75% TAC rate, this means that Google generated ~$1.3bn in gross search revenue through default search placement on Apple devices. In other words, this $1.3bn of search revenue ($335m net search revenue) in 2011 is at risk if Apple moves away from Google. $335m represented ~1% of net Google.com search revenue. Notably, mobile/Apple revenue is among its fastest growing revenue drivers.
