You were looking at the Facebook profile of that sweet girl in your class and you by mistake sent her a request, whereas you didn’t want to do something like this and wanted to show as if you had no interest in her! Worried, how to cancel the request?? Oh, Poor you!

There’s another point to it. If you send someone a request, they can access your profile for an indefinite period without confirming it. So it can be a privacy issue too.

If you are some unlucky chap facing such a situation, then no need to worry. There’s a solution for you to cancel
the friend request you’ve just sent.

Well actually Facebook does not allow you to revoke a friend request. If you go by the rules, the other person
first has to accept your request and then only can you delete him/her from your profile.

But there’s a way out and all you have to do is play with your privacy settings. Follow these steps:

1. After you’ve sent the friend request, go to Setting > Privacy Settings.
2. Add that person to you ‘Block List‘. This will break the friend request.
3. Then again unblock him/her.

Now visit that person’s profile. Magic! It shows that good old ‘Add as Friend’.

Sony has officially confirmed that they are going to bring out a new, slimmer version of the PlayStation 3.

The new version has a Matte Black finish, comes with 120GB storage and consumes less power that it’s predecessor. While it’s size has shrunk, the PS3 Slim won’t support OS install but that shouldn’t be a problem for most people. Apart from that, other features are the same found in the previous model.

Another major thing is that Sony has reduced the price on the console to a much more desirable $299. Starting today, the current 80GB PS3 will also retail for $299.

The new 3.0 firmware will also be released concurrently with the PS3 slim, providing a breath of fresh air for existing machines.
