Boy, that would bring in comments…. Googling Google highlighted some behaviour of the Google toolbar that seems a bit fishy. It appears that it blocks attempts to modify the default search provider in Internet Explorer. This was first reported over at Google blogoscoped and appears to be a bug (after the toolbar process is closed it fails to close completely.) Google says they’re working on a fix.

Google news – infinite storage????
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 today we are starting our infinite storage plan” Now, they surmise that this could be related to the “platypus” project which has been known as gdrive which appears to be an online file synchronization/backup solution. It could be and would certainly be interesting. However, it could be a gmail upgrade for that matter.

Google accepting new signups for Analytics again
Well, Analytics is still getting up to speed. For the last week or so, new signups at the new Google analytics site had been suspended (and they suspended existing users from adding a site for monitoring.) Now It looks as though they’ve started adding new signups. The writer at the ZDnet blog, Googling Google suspects that they’re catching up on those that left email addresses for an invite when the service went live. (I imagine this may be one reason Gmail had an invite only policy for so long, afraid of being swamped with demand.)
