Google adds new alerts of suspicious activity

2010-07-01T18:56:00.000-07:00

A few months ago, Google reported that it would be adding alerts on suspicious activity in the accounts of users. And for suspicious activity relating to unusual patterns in the sessions: if a person logs on to Madrid, and in half an hour from Los Angeles does, surely there is something to be suspicious. Are those situations that cause the above warning. This only happened when working in the environment of GMail, because it is currently the most used services. Due to the good results obtained from this practice, Google has incorporated this alarm system in more pages, now in the homepage of the Dashboard (board) where they are shortcuts to the links on Google, you can see notifications this style.

It seems that it is a new layer of protection for users, which may expand to other services later. Until that comes, now there are two places where we can check for suspicious activity in the accounts. Congratulations to Google for this initiative.

Apparently, from now and only if you use Google Chrome as a browser, you can create a more colorful emails than usual. Why am I saying this? Indeed just because you can attach images directly in the text box courier service.

With the new functionality, it may be much better when writing an email in which we can give it more body and inserting images directly is much more "beautiful" (yes we are going to do, he has left the vein corny).

Microsoft is taking huge advantage in the market for operating systems. Although alternatives such as Linux or Mac OS X users have gained more recent times, Windows is still king, by far. Surprising news comes from Microsoft, it is reported to have sold over 100 million licenses of Windows 7 around the world. That is an impressive figure as it represents around 10% of all computers on the planet with Windows 7 as the primary operating system. And in the end things have gone well for Microsoft Windows Vista who saw a flop but which were good things served to make way for the successor to Windows XP, at least in popularity.

After six months of launching Windows 7 (launched on October 22, 2009), Microsoft has made a profit close to 14 billion dollars ($ 14.000 million) recorded until March 31, 2010 which is no doubt a successful product after several slips that left many angry users.

Microsoft still can do many things well, and has been demonstrated. Regardless of the fans and haters of Windows, the shareholders of the company based in the state of Washington must be more than happy.

This virtual currency, which is still in beta, would have its own exchange rate and would swing real against other currencies. Thus, Facebook wants the user does not have to enter your card details each time you make a payment.

Facebook has 400 million users and over 500,000 applications, some pay, on which stand virtual games, which generated $ 500 million, the second largest trader of Paypal, Ebay behind, of course.

According to Zuckerberg, took longer to make efficient service and have invested heavily in the project, but certainly with 400 million potential users, many more companies joined the bandwagon of trade by Facebook.

Cyberattack Targeted Google Password System

2010-05-03T03:52:00.000-07:00

There continue to be more details on the attacks on Google in China, this time are more specific and relate to the safety of all users of Google services. Here is a brief account of the facts:

• Chinese Hackers attempt an attack on Google.
• Noticing this, the Mountain View company ceases to censor their search results.
• Start the bickering. The Chinese government warned Google to comply with its rules and if he leaves.
• Representing U.S. interests outside the White House position on the facts.
• The Chinese government denies any connection with the attacks.
• It is found that the Asian nation's government is lying. They start out the first names.
• As highlighted, the Beijing government promises to punish those responsible.
• The tension grows and Google takes a defiant stance predicting his departure from the Chinese market.

It has been much criticism of Google for defending their interests in such a way, but to learn more about the role of attack, we note that no wonder. Now comes to light that the real objective of the hackers was not simply attacking dissent, the jackpot was violating the Google login system called Gaia and serves as identification for many sites such as GMail.The problem is that there are Google services for which people pay, which means that billing information (credit cards, bank accounts) could be exposed and used in ways harmful to users. The sensitive data here is that the attack was possible to obtain the source code for Gaia with which the security of our data is in doubt.

Although until now nothing has happened relevant to this situation, we should not be so trusting. Google does not officially pronounce, so it is speculated that there is already a backup plan to ensure the protection of user data. In any way change the password regularly is not a bad idea, whether or not hackers.

Advertising on Twitter, and what users think

2010-04-23T16:11:00.000-07:00

Finally, advertising has come to Twitter so "official" as from yesterday, have begun to show in the form of sponsored ads Tweets that have been paid by companies like Virgin America. After more than three years, this site has been transformed into a platform for real-time information will begin to monetize the content.

After enjoying a site without ads for a long time, it's time to see sponsorships, but has ensured that they are as annoying as possible. After the launch of the marketing of Twitter, some regular users have begun to say in the matter. According to data from Crimson Hexagon, interestingly 42% of users consider advertising as spam / upset and they want off-site, is a very large percentage of users who disagree, and perhaps the group of users have more activity or considered loyal users.

On the other hand 31% of the twitters regard this announcement as an interesting move, but would like to see more before accepting its operation completely. And if Twitter is able to integrate advertising without annoying users, will be a major step in the monetization of the site and to keep users happy at the same time. It is a difficult course.

Only 27% of the population believes that Twitter tweets are sponsored sensible business model, which does not greatly affect the common user activity and therefore have given their approval.

Now it remains to see if the tweets are sent via API-sponsored as well, since many people (myself included) use Twitter from third party applications (clients, either desktop or mobile platforms). While analyzing the possibilities, it is likely that third-party programs are free of advertising, at least at first.

Remember, Opera Mini compresses pages and allows you to navigate with your mobile much faster and with more moderate consumption data, which will be fine provided you have a data plan with some type of limit consumption.

Google Chrome integrating the internal Flash plugin

2010-04-22T16:21:00.000-07:00

At least the versions of Chromium Builds Nighty have already begun to incorporate internal Flash plugin that comes integrated with Google's browser, that is to improve the user experience and make life easier for all costs, thus there will be no to install additional components from the Adobe website to view Flash content. This plugin empaquetación is especially useful for users who are not experts in customizing the browser, as it saves the hassle of installing components that rarely understand what they are. On the other hand, will also be beneficial especially for Linux users, who seem to be forgotten by Adobe as the support for that platform is weak.

One advantage over the standard plugin is performance, because we know that Flash is a voracious consumer of resources integrated with this version of the plugin, resource consumption will be lower but you have to wait to try a version of Chrome with this feature to confirm he said.

The download file has an approximate size of 14 MB (Windows version), which corresponds to the installer, the interesting thing is that it keeps the file size of 14 MB still with integrated Flash plugin, so you can see that have worked to keep everything as compact as possible.

Caution: WordPress blogs are being attacked

2010-04-22T15:35:00.000-07:00

It has raised a new alarm that affects many thousands of people around the world with a blog runs on WordPress (the latest version, 2.9.2 is vulnerable too) and several blogs have been attacked and are now infected distributing malware without the operators of these sites have been noticed. The worst thing is that it affects self-hosted version (installed on your own server) of WordPress.

Apparently this vulnerability has to do with SQL injection or some failure of a theme or plugin, it could also be because of some outdated as Magpie library that ships with WordPress. For now only speculation because the problem has not been fully identified.

The problem arises when the field in the table wp_options siteurl is replaced by a HTML code. This field holds the URL of the blog (ie, that field is not designed to accommodate HTML code), so that being accomplished the attack, possibly the affected site longer to load.

The highest number of cases that have been presented so far has to do with the company Network Solutions, although other sites have also been affected VPS.net so probably this attack is independent of the company that provides hosting for the hole security is in the same WordPress and not a default configuration or hardware.

It is important to be vigilant and continuously review the sites to ensure there are no problems, in case of finding an abnormal behavior, it is advisable to check the database and especially the siteurl field.

For now Sucuri Security Labs and Trend Micro have reported this attack, Trend Micro announced that its antivirus detects the problem as TROJ_BUZUS.ZYX (see more information on this virus), which leads to malware infection, and in some cases may install a fake antivirus on the computer of users.

Update: In addition to spreading malware, the infection can get them to generate backdoor Trojans (backdoors), ie that administrators and users could see a normal version of the site, but search engines actually could be seeing another version of site , which is especially dangerous and harmful to the issues related to SEO.

Tweetup Founder Launches Overture, "Adsense For Twitter"

2010-04-21T16:44:00.000-07:00

tweetup is a new startup that focuses on marketing and advertising on Twitter. In fact the idea is more complex and goes beyond display ads as there is only a strategy to monetize sites that appear in a sort of timeline. In simple words, tweetup is a search engine for Twitter that integrates AdWords advertising style.

Basically way for advertisers to bid for a spot in the search results. Each time you search for tweets with certain keywords, some messages tweetup sponsored show at the top, as if any message. With the help of an algorithm will determine the relevance of a tweet to establish what appears so high in the results pages, which help maintain the relevance of the information to be displayed in this little form. These ideas were implemented by Google to make lots of money, let's see if it works the same concept applied to Twitter.

Advertisers will have 3 options for bids: impressions, for each new follower is achieved and per click. At first, advertisers bid for print only be priced at $ 0.01 USD / printing; to encourage initial investment tweetup giving $ 100 USD to the first 1000 advertisers in starting a campaign.

This is a good idea, and we may be facing a new business opportunity in Twitter, which already has a user base of several million.

Indeed, this mechanism results in a search engine to sell was implemented by GoTo, idealab a startup of who are the same as those behind the project of tweetup, so no experience in between.

Chromium browser run on the Nokia N900

Some enthusiasts have managed to carry a version of Chromium 32-bits made for Debian, the project behind Google's browser. Unlike other projects where only part of the project portal, this is the full version of the browser, as it is available for computers, thus all the advantages that desktop users, owners also have a Nokia N900. The process to install the browser on the phone has been published, and impressively is not very difficult since it only requires a few commands executed from a terminal. These are the steps required:

• Download the needed packages and put them in the root of the N900.
• In the console, type root and press enter.
• Type cd / home / user / MyDocs / dpkg-i file-name-descargado.deb
• Run dpkg-i file-name-descargado.deb
With that technically it is sufficient to have a full version of Chromium on the N900, with support for various plugins (Flash course included). I wish there were benchmarks (performance tests) to see if it is usable or is it just to have it as an experiment.

This dynamic is very simple and actually fun, because you can find very good work by other users. The gallery is composed of Shots (screenshots) that have a size of 400 × 300 pixels. Every time a person climbs a Shot, others can comment on that image or you can make a catch with the option I like. The profile of each person can view the favorite Shots and a little information about the individual.

Each user is limited to 24 Shots per month increase, which seems small, but if we consider that Dribbble is a site that is starting, it may be a matter of scalability, and in the future we may see this restriction removed.

For now you can not create an account on this site, unless a user to invite us, as the registration process has been limited to invitation only, although there are many people interested in, is good to limit the activity at first especially for performance.

Automattic, the company behind the development of our beloved WordPress, is debuting a service that allows users to make backups (backups) of all your blogs easily, and most importantly, in real time. With the prestige of a reputable company like Automattic, VaultPress is presented as an alternative to the typical data backup methods. Anyone who is familiar with WordPress, you know that there are many plugins that help make backup copies of information (of not only the database, but also files). The disadvantage is that many users forget to backup, or simply store the backups on the same server as the blog. If there is any problem with your ISP, it gets ugly.

VaultPress is a service designed to make all these backups automatically, constantly monitoring, and a team of "experts" who are to help in any contingency. This service is in beta and records are limited by invitation. It should be noted on a waiting list and wait to contact us to complete the registration.

There is a form where they ask things about us (experience in blogging, how many blogs you want to store, how much would pay for the service, etc.). In the beta service is free, but the suggested price is $ 25 USD per month, which I think is ridiculously excessive.

For those interested VaultPress a viable option, you can use WordPress Automatic Backup, which saves backups every day in an Amazon S3 account. The plugin is free and Amazon prices are quite low. From personal experience recommend this plugin that works automatically and saves backups every month.

Through a Chinese forum, these images were obtained of the possible interface of Internet Explorer 9. While not from a 100% reliable source (you have to doubt the veracity of these images), the truth is that it is a good concept to be taken into account, as it would be taking a big step for what as minimalist and usable, which benefits us.

Although this model lacks the distinctive features of Windows (such as the Aero interface), the design is not so far from reality as it follows more or less along the lines of Windows Phone 7, one of the products that Microsoft have priority . Images are real or not, we face the possibility of finding an Internet Explorer battle they can get the market to favorites (Firefox, Chrome), not only in appearance but also in performance.

Remember that it is too premature IE9 current version, so all the features and changes we see may not be part of the final product, but as a concept illustration, I consider a good start.

Some Linux distributions are GNU leaving support for Power PC based computers, not making much noise about it. One would expect to come across some kind of statement about it, but the fact is that developers seem to have little regard for people who still have a computer with Power PC, as Macs (those that reached the G5 model)

For example, openSUSE has dropped support for this platform for over three months and Fedora, leave aside to computers with Power PC processor in the next version of the operating system (Fedora 13). By contacting the maintenance team openSUSE about these decisions was told that only respond to the dictates of the market since according to their records, less than 1% of users using Power PC processors.

Ubuntu made things a little different because they actually official announcement that from version 7.04, support for Power PC went no further.

Among the prices of these templates are for all budgets, ranging from $ 9, about 7 € to 49 $ that would become the change about 37 € but I say that if you register on a free service is for microbloggin pay nothing, if not you'd have a blog with hosting and domain fee, right?

That is as it seems, Tumblr expects to earn money to finance their microblogging platform, though this is the second option since a few days ago and announced they were going to launch payment service for premium users.

Video: Windows Mobile 7.0 running on an HTC HD2

2010-03-28T17:27:00.000-07:00

Have leaked on YouTube a couple of videos I can appreciate a new HTC HD2 running Microsoft's mobile operating system: Windows Mobile 7.0.

Thanks to Qualcomm Snapdragon processor QSD8250 running at 1.0 GHz and its 576 MB of RAM that your navigation is fluent.

In the video we can see that tasks like web browsing, messaging, calendar, contacts, use of GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, you can perform normally. The problem appears because of the graphics controller, which is still showing errors. This problem was solved when the graphics adapter is correct.

twitter translate tweets automatically, with help from Google

2010-03-28T17:11:00.000-07:00

Now that Twitter is available not only in English, are doing many positive things for internationalizing the service as possible, given the enormous volume of users from around the world. It would not be surprising that the staff is preparing Twitter developments regarding the ability to view content in one language or another.

A basic feature would be for example, tweets automatically translate to the language preferred by each user, would like to incorporate a translation service perfectly camouflaged in the Twitter interface.In fact since this can be achieved, although it is by no means official. Using some Greasemonkey scripts can make twitts automatically translate, but it is always better to have an inhouse solution (developed by the same developers of Twitter) for reasons of performance, interoperability and efficiency of course.

All this comes in the wake of a screen shot of Mark Hachman, AppScout editor who realized that there is a link in the sidebar to translate Tweets. For now you can only translate from any language into English, and the service is provided by Google.

Although at least this change, I think it is an interesting addition but especially useful, especially for those who follow people of different nationalities. Let's see if more news comes about Twitter and the use of language in the information.

Facebook will open its information flow

2010-03-25T17:45:00.000-07:00

Surely you're fearing for your information and pictures on Facebook just read the statement if you have a profile, and maybe you'll have every reason to fear for your privacy, but not for the reason that Facebook will open its information flow, by this tranquil estate.

As Facebook announced they intend to give access to their information flow of public users, ie if you have privacy settings well done, in principle, you need not fear for your data.

Facebook's intention is none other than to offer this information to developers in the next F8 conference in April to invite them to write applications and connections to your network, using this data and offer them to users.

The very openness of information flow, Twitter made a while back with the data of its users and because she got some of their most important partners and, on the other hand, developers, books, programs of hundreds of applications that are available in the network to access Twitter today (and continuing to develop and publish from time to time).

For me personally, every time they speak of "distributed" user information privacy worries me most in my network, but Facebook has already promised a thousand times, actively and passively, never do anything that could harm the privacy of its users ... yet you trust the security of Facebook?.

Social network videos from Google, Youtube has been falling for more than two hours during the day.

The ruling has taken place during the afternoon from 11:30 or so (Spanish time) when attempting to access the home page of Youtube featuring the message "" HTTP/1.1 Service Unavailable "warning that there was a problem with servers.

However, when trying to access the url of a video in particular, in most cases, yes let see the images and the page normally.

For its part, the videos that are embedded in a blog or website outside of Youtube, it could not be seen and displayed a message saying that this video was out of service temporarily.

The servers are back to normal at about 13:30 noon and he has not had problems.

The same error of servers have also suffered in other countries like Canada, Italy and Britain.

Since Google has announced that it has been a problem for servers that are arranged as quickly as possible and who lament the problems that may have caused to users.

The truth is that Youtube is a fairly reliable service, which usually has no bugs or crashes, so this time will have to forgive, right?

Facebook accused of syphilis increased in a region of United Kingdom

2010-03-25T17:19:00.000-07:00

What you need to hear and read, especially in these times. It appears that some "studies" locals have come to the conclusion that the role that Facebook has in the vast majority of infections is very important, we must add that young people in the Teeside region are among the more frequent the social network.

The conclusion we have reached is simply that with increased use of social networks have also increased the encounters, in which sexual highlights (high deductible).

Such stupidity I found this report in Telegraph that it's like to accuse manufacturers of lighters increase the number of arsonists. The truth is that in this case, if young people have been affected most would have to start looking at their curricula and discuss the boys /-as there are ways of having safe and not be swayed by the rush of the moment .

Theft of mail accounts are quite common and the truth is that even if we find someone outside us is swarming our domains.

Google for its part is trying to increasingly less the accounts that are stolen and if it already had a section where we could see the activity of our own in recent sessions, whether by phone or a computer, now it will alert differently and more graphically, without you to be the need to go to the location of the tool.

From now on, Google will notify you with a message highlighted in the header of your account, where he also will inform you what part of the world are accessing. This function can be enabled or not, because the tool is that if you enter the account from a geographic area far from the usual, so if you're traveling, it is normal to skip the ad.
