Google warns users of internet shutdown on July 9

WASHINGTON: Search giant Google has issued a warring to its millions of users that they could lose the ability to connect to the internet in July due to a computer virus. 

 

The problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of infected computers around the world.

In a highly unusual response, the FBI set up a safety net months ago using government computers to prevent Internet disruptions for those infected users, but that system will be shut down on July 9, killing connections for those people

The FBI has run a campaign for months, encouraging people to visit a website that will inform them whether they are infected and explain how to fix the problem.

After July 9, infected users won't be able to connect to the internet.

According to Fox News, Google has now planned to throw its weight into the awareness campaign.

The site will be rolling out alerts to users via a special message that will appear at the top of the Google search results page for users with affected computers, CNET reported.

"We believe directly messaging affected users on a trusted site and in their preferred language will produce the best possible results," wrote Google security engineer Damian Menscher in a post on the firm's blog

"If more devices are cleaned and steps are taken to better secure the machines against further abuse, the notification effort will be well worth it," he added

According to the report, the challenge, and the reason for the awareness campaigns is the fact that most victims don't even know their computers have been infected, although the malicious software probably has slowed their web surfing and disabled their anti-virus software, making their machines more vulnerable to other problems.

Google Android vs Oracle

Google confirmed that it wants a new trial on the copyright portion of a legal battle being fought with Oracle in San Francisco federal court.

Jurors this week ruled that Google's Android operating system for smartphones violated Java software copyrights but deadlocked when it came to the pivotal question of whether it constituted "fair use" that made it acceptable. 

 

If Google's use of copyrighted Java application programming interfaces (APIs) in Android was fair use, Oracle would deserve no damages from the Mountain View, California-based Internet firm under the law.

Google late Tuesday filed a motion asking US District Court Judge William Alsup to declare a mistrial in the copyright phase of the trial and have both questions presented to a new jury in a retrial.

Alsup on Wednesday was presiding over a second phase of the trial devoted to claims by Oracle that Google violated Java patents in Android software.

Adding to the complexity of the case, Alsup has gone on record reserving the right to make the ultimate decision whether APIs can even be copyrighted. The judge told jurors to assume so for the sake of deliberations.

Oracle lawyers are proposing that both sides in the case leave the "fair use" question to Alsup rather than have a new trial.

Oracle's challenge of Google in court over copyrights was an unusual tactic being watched intently in Silicon Valley.

Kapil Sibal warns websites; Google says won’t remove material just because it’s controversial

NEW DELHI: Amid the raging controversy over content regulation online, Internet search giant Google India today said it complies with the law of the land but will not remove any material just because it is controversial. 

We work really hard to make sure that people have as much access to information as possible, while also following the law. This means that when content is illegal, we abide by local law and take it. 

"And even where content is legal but breaks or violates our own terms and conditions we take that down too, once we have been notified about it," a Google spokesperson said. "But when content is legal and does not violate our policies, we will not remove it just because it is controversial, as we believe that people's differing views, so long as they are legal, should be respected and protected," the spokesperson added. 

Telecom minister Kapil Sibal today asked social websites like Google and Facebook to ensure that uploading of derogatory material online is stopped. 

He said the government does not want to interfere but if social networking sites are not willing to cooperate, "then it is the duty of the government to think of steps that we need". 

The government has met the officials from Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Yahoo over last few weeks after offensive materials, particularly against Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, were put on the Internet. 

Search engine giant Yahoo! refused to comment on the views of the minister, while Microsoft officials were not available for comments. 

Social networking site Facebook, which has more than 25 million users in the country, has said it will remove any content that is hateful, threatening and incites "violence" or contains nudity off the service.

Google, Facebook Both Looking To Team Up With Skype

Facebook and Google are both reportedly trying to strike a deal with popular VoIP service provider Skype.

Sources have told Reuters that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is mulling an all-out acquisition of the company while another source revealed that the company might form a joint venture with Skype.

Meanwhile, search engine giant Google is also in talks with Skype. Google already offers VoIP services via Google Talk and Google Voice.

However, the source revealed that the talks are in very early stages and ran a danger of collapsing midway. It is also not clear which company Skype is likely to go with.

On one hand, there is Facebook, with its 500 million + users that could give Skype the platform it needs to expand. Google is also moving big into the enterprise cloud services market and could use Skype to boost its portfolio.
Skype is also planning its first initial public offering, most likely in the second half of 2011. The company is expected to raise around a billion dollars from the IPO. With more companies moving into VoIP services, some analysts have speculated that Skype will need to work with a larger company to survive future competition.

Google Launches New Photo Sharing Network

"Photovine is a community that's about creating fun and unique collections of photos that we call Vines," reads the company overview on the Photovine Facebook page. 

Users can share content captured through Photovine on other social networking services and may also be able to pull in content from other social networking services into Photovine. At the core of Photo vine are vines, that is a like a constantly growing family of photos connected through a common caption. The Photovine concept seems similar to the new version of Twitter search that displays photo and video content attached to hashtags and other search results.
Photovine is currently invitation only and users can request for an invite through their website - www.photovine.com. 
Speculation is rife that Google may integrate the service with its recently launched social media product, Google+. But Google already owns the popular Picasa photo sharing service and two parallel services can confuse users.
Photovine is also not marketing itself as a Google product, in fact there is hardly any mention of Google in its publicity material and also on its website, except that it is a part of Slide that is owned by Google. Even the phone displayed on the Photovine website is an iPhone and not a phone that runs on Google's Android software.

From 1st August Google Apps will support only Modern Browsers !

Recently Google have announced that from 1st august Google Apps will support only " Modern Browsers" ! 

Which Browsers it will support ?


This implies since Internet Explorer 9 is out in the market; Google will support IE 9 and IE 8 and will stop supporting IE 7. Similarly from August 1st, they will discontinue support for Firefox 3.5 and Safari 3 and all their predecessors.  If any user will be using these old browsers, they will face problems using certain features

Reason for not Supporting 

For web applications to spring even farther ahead of traditional software, its teams need to make use of new capabilities available in modern browsers. For example, desktop notifications for Gmail and drag-and-drop file upload in Google Docs require advanced browsers that support HTML5. Older browsers just don’t have the chops to provide you with the same high-quality experience."

Solution

If you use Google Calendar, Google Docs or Gmail then you had better keep your browsers up to date ! Update it now !

Thanks :)
