Looks like every site in the world has become harmful from Google’s perspective. I have been trying to Google things up and every time I hit a link I am prompted with a warning. Not sure what’s wrong, maybe it’s the end of the world, Armageddon! Anyone else experiencing this or am I the lone warrior watching it all? I have been getting tweets in massive numbers regarding the issue. Comments?

Leave an employer, join another, leave again to get in to your former firm that’s how Scott Moore is completing his professional cycle. He is moving back to Microsoft as executive producer and GM of its content business. He won’t be the lead at Microsoft given his position at Yahoo of being the SVP and heading Yahoo Media, but then things are quite different with Microsoft’s business structure.

LAT is laying off another 300 of its employees. That’s about it for I don’t want to stretch this as it has got in some kind of addiction with laying off staff (NYT is another one in trouble). The mention was made on its blog that talks of even more changes over the weeks:

It appears that Microsoft is on the verge of losing every bit of quality as reports come in regarding Windows 7 being a bit insecure. The issue highlighted is related to its user account control that can be disabled to make your windowing experience less annoying however doing that your system is prone to malicious attacks. Windows 7’s UAC by default is set to Notify only when programs try to make changes to your system and user can get disable it for changes made by him. The question however is how can Windows differ between the two? The UAC might be annoying enough but then it’s notifications are essential as they let them know of changes being made. Microsoft however claims to fix this issue in the retail release, how irresponsible of them? I guess Zheng’s proposal of Windows notifying users of changes to the UAC appears logical.

What could be worse than infiltrating the privacy of people? Killing an animal and Google appears to have done both. Alright I know I sound too biased but then Google’s Street View has done the same while its car was out on the routine drive when it hit the a deer. Of course that was a mistake and Google has shown responsibility by removing the images, although the reports state that the hit wasn’t lethal and the deer walked away by the time police arrived. Although this is a pretty common occurrence and the number of deer collisions totals to around 70,000, but then no matter what, many fingers will be pointing at Google.
