A few weeks ago, Google introduced a new feature that allows you to set your Gmail account to always use SSL, not just when you’re logging in.
Like most folks, I didn’t think much of it. However, a new vulnerability has been discovered that can hijack your account if you’re not using full-time SSL.
While this situation is making Gmail look bad, Google is really looking pretty good. This specific hack is Gmail-only, but a similar hack could be built for Yahoo mail, Hotmail, etc. The big difference is that Gmail offers full-time SSL, while the others don’t.
To turn this feature on in Gmail, simply go to [settings], then choose “Always use https” at the bottom of the page (be sure to [Save Changes]). It’s quite simple.
The tool to execute this hack will be released in two weeks , though others may be working on it already. I’d suggest you make that small change to your Gmail settings right now.

There have been arguments about this for months, but Google has finally made it clear — you are allowed to show ads from more than one AdSense account on a single page .
For revenue-sharing sites, it makes configuration much easier. Instead of having to make sure all of the ads on a page are from the same account, you can mix-and-match however you want. This has been the case since the last TOS revision back in February, but there has been a lot of confusion. Google simply want...
more Formidable Google competitor launches — CuilFrom: mickmelseo.com

Cuil (pronounced “cool”) has just launched today, and looks like it might be the first search engine in a while to give Google some competition. The main thing Cuil promotes is the size of it’s index — 120 billion pages, compared to the estimated 40 billion pages in Google’s index.
However, we’re not sure what to make of the “larger” index. For almost any search query, Google returns more results. If Cuil had a bigger index, woul...
