New Facebook feature will require users’ approval before they are tagged in a photo.
Facebook has announced sweeping changes to its privacy settings so that users have more control over how they share personal content. The social network announced in a blog post today that it was overhauling its privacy features, most notably allowing users to limit what others can post about them. Analysts and privacy advocates are keen on the changes, saying Facebook is acting on both privacy concerns and competition from Google+.
Users can now block “tags” added by others, and it has also added privacy options to individual posts rather than the complex universal menu it employs currently.
“You have told us that ‘Who can see this?’ could be clearer across Facebook, so we have made changes to make this more visual and straightforward,” Chris Cox, vice president of product for Facebook, said on the Facebook blog.

Sprint will begin selling the new version of the Apple iPhone in mid-October, the Wall Street Journal reports. The agreement should fill a hole in Sprint’s lineup while also offering Apple another sales channel.
The timing indicates that the iPhone 5 could be hitting shelves later than expected though. It was expected to arrive in September, in time to boost figures for the fourth fiscal quarter, the Journal reports, adding that Verizon and ATT will also begin selling the phone in mid-October.
Sprint’s reported deal with Apple could be a big step in the right direction: the cellular network had 52 million subscribers at the end of the second quarter, compared to ATT’s 99 million and Verizon’s 106 million. Sprint will also carry the iPhone 4 from the same time, the Journal says.
