New Firefox Add-On to protect from Blackhat spm SEO
There are currently no ultimate solutions for end-users to protect themselves against fake AV pages, fake videos and other malicious spam SEO: antivirus have a low detection rate, blacklist (such as Google Safe Browsing) lag behind the creation of new malicious domains.

In a previous post, I pointed out the vast majority of malicious spam SEO sites check the referrer string of the visitor. If this string does not include bing.com, yahoo.com or google.com, the user is not redirected to a malicious page.

We are releasing a Firefox add-on that uses this trick to protect Firefox users against most spam SEO threats, including fake AV and fake Video pages. This plugin works with Firefox 3.x. Click on the image below to install it. It is called "Search Engine Security".

The End of Outsourcing (As We Know It)

As Google and Amazon.com become preeminent sellers of tech services, companies from Accenture to Microsoft and Xerox must adapt to cloud computing 

Desktop computers yielded to laptops. Web portals AOL (AOL), MSN (MSFT), and Yahoo! (YHOO) are giving way to social media sites Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Software once distributed by disk is now available as apps over the Web—often for less than the cost of a slice of pizza. And so it goes. The same Darwinian process is creating a fresh ecosystem in outsourcing, one that will usher in an era of consolidation and a new way of working with clients.

 

Stunning 'Honeycomb' Clouds Yield Climate Clues

Across vast reaches of open ocean at any one time is a low-lying cloud level that takes on a captivating pattern of more-or-less hexagonal cells -- like a honeycomb, or Grandma's quilt. Researchers led by physicist Graham Feingold of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report in the new issue of the journal Nature that they can now explain this pattern of oscillating open and closed cell structure.

 The researchers say they have also shown for the first time that these open-cell clouds behave like other self-organizing systems, such as flocks of birds and shifting sand dunes, that "form dynamic, coherent structures that tend to repair themselves and resistant change.
