What happens on the internet in 60 seconds?

168 million sent emails, nearly 700 thousand Google searches, 13 thousand iPhone app downloads, at least 600 YouTube video uploads, and so on. I heard about this from The Daily Mail online, but the graphic came from Go-Globe.com.

Google Daily

The New York Times will now feature a new "game" that will appear together with its iconic crossword puzzle.  It's called a A Google A Day.  The idea is, you will be given some clues, and then you have to guess the answer.  You can use Google, of course.  You can find today's and the past days' A Google A Day puzzle in http://agoogleaday.com/, or if you're browsing from your mobile, it's at http://agoogleaday.com/mobile.html.  Happy Googling!

How secure is your password?

You can ask yourself that question in http://howsecureismypassword.net/, a simple but effective tool.  But you might not be confident in typing your password in a not-so-known website, and I am definitely not vouching for this one.  Although the interesting bit about that site is it tells you how long for an ordinary hacker's computer program (i.e. using a simple desktop computer) can crack/decode your password.
