Well after a bit of a roundup of some of the security news items the last week, it’s time to sum up the Google front…. Googling Google tells us that Infinite storage is on the horizon…. they cite a translator that has done work for google. He has been asked to translate “The result?… from […]

Google search for malware accessible to all…

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

The metasploit project is now hosting a malware search that uses Google. It essentially uses a binary google search technique that was referenced last week to find malicious files hosted on the web. Of course, this will be partly limited by Google’s indexing which recently has not been quite as thorough as before, but… all […]

Google Maps upgrade

I’ve seen a couple places referring to some improvements in the way google maps handles zooming and so I decided to take a look in Firefox.

GDrive rumors and screenshot – Platypus

Monday, July 10th, 2006

I saw this ZDNet post today with a tantalizing glimpse of Gdrive. It comes originally from cocaman.ch where he found a login page for something called Google Platypus, which is essentially a remotely used file storage.

There are a few Google related stories of the last few days to catch up. 1)55 Ways to have fun with Google is an e-book available for purchase on Amazon or Lulu.com, but it’s also avaiable as a free pdf download. (And it’s licensed so you can mix it up/etc…) It’s certainly not as deep […]

A few Google improvements

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

I thought it might be worth mentioning a few little bits of Google news. Much like the Linux and Windows search areas at google (linux search and windows search)… They’ve launched a Portal (?) giving access to the comlete works of William Shakespeare and a way to search US Government web sites at usgov.google.com. This […]

One of the big linux news stories yesterday was the release of google earth for linux. Essentially the Google earth team has released “release 4” which is a beta version of the next release.
