Gmail now has account activity shown on the footer to let you know if you’re still logged on elsewhere and also gives you a chance to disconnect remotely.
Clicking on details brings a window that shows the recent activity associated with the logged in account like the Access type, IP address used to login etc.. Also, it indicates if the current account is open elsewhere so that you can logoff safely, if necessary.
SF: Yahoo Inc. defended online search leader Google Inc as a more desirable partner than Microsoft Corp in a Wednesday letter that affirmed the Internet pioneer’s commitment to a new strategy.
Yahoo embraced its planned advertising partnership with Google amid reports that it had revived talks about a possible deal with Microsoft. The report, based information from unnamed people, surfaced despite Yahoo’s repeated rejection of the software giant since their intense mating dance began nearly five months ago.
Although Yahoo’s letter didn’t completely rule out a Microsoft deal, it stressed that working with Google remains the best option on the table.

The Internet will run out of addresses in another two years as only 700 million unique addresses are remaining for allocation out of the 4.3 billion available on the present network.
The addressing we follow today is IPv4, which is 32bit. This means there are 2 to the power of 32 , or 4.3 billion addresses available. When the IP addressing was developed, 4.3 billion was considered to be more than adequate, as the population of earth at the time was roughly about 4 billion.
The accute shortage of IPv4 addresses would see the transitioning from IPv6 to it’s 128 bit big brother, the IPv6. The Internet Protocol version 6 will have 340 trillion-trillion-trillion new addresses needed to connect not only billions of new users but also the trillions of sensor devices that will require networking as technology takes greater control of people’s lives.
“IPv6 provides more addresses in cyberspace than there are grains of sands on the world’s beaches,” quoted Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for the Information Society.
All right.. The new look rapidshare is alive and kickng .. But I liked the old layout better. The new CAPTCHA system is a real pain in the ass..
It generates a random code with twisted letters and numbers. But wait.. There are little kittens and dogs (apparently) attached to each of the letters. You have to enter the ones with the ‘cats’ alone and NOT the dogs in order to get through. And finding which one’s a cat and which is the dog is where the real pain lies.
Whoa! Apparently, the P has a DOG and NOT a CAT .. So, the correct code would be 6BLC and nothing else. Hey! That was easy, right ?
CAPTCHA these days are becoming more of a mental challenge to genuine users, making it so difficult to get past them. Lets hope rapidshare changes their new CAPTCHA system ASAP.
