Excellent Firefox 3 Video

November 7th, 2008 | Posted in Rest of Internet, Self Improvement

I have not seen such an excellent video explaining the functions of firefox or anything. The video covers every detail of the firefox, which you might have not known till now. I know its out way back but some of the functions are really cool and also I have not checked them till date.

The video was with me on the Webmaster forum and when I saw this video I immediately thought to embed on my blog so that my blog users could get benefit. This is such an amazing video and it would ease out the process of using firefox.

Thumps up for the creator he has done a fantastic job.

Adwords and Hackers First Instance

November 7th, 2008 | Posted in Rest of Internet

Now this is serious to which I saw and read in about hackers. Hackers are now taking it very professionally. Now they are up to buying keywords. Yes you read it right they are now buying keywords.

What’s the Scene
Hackers are simply buying keywords in the Google search and they are not just optimizing they are advertising there site or location in the adwords.

This is getting more than serious as I came to know that they are now buying Google keywords in search to advertise.

Recently they picked the keyword “Obama win” and the strange fact is about the search result is they are even getting it on the top ranks. Great Minds isn’t it!

Screenshot Below
The screenshot below suggested they were not pointing to anything in the advertisement they were just letting to download something. What was it?

When clicked on the download link it prompted for an installer that is 100% check by Antivirus though this is fake assurance immediately a PDF file starts downloading and deliver a virus labeled Mal/PDFEx-B.

If you just watch the screenshot closely it will say that the download will save time and it is thought common sense that what will it be doing with “Obama win”. So next time whenever you see such kind of irregular advertisement placement that is not related to the keyword you have searched never ever click on to see the action.

You cannot see the live results as the placement has been removed. But just beware of the fact that anyone can play around your computer its just you who can save it.

IT Jobs and US Election

November 6th, 2008 | Posted in Rest of Internet, Career

People are really confused with the statements from Barack Obama. As he said during the campaign that if he gets through with the presidential elections then he would pause the outsourcing industry to give job to the local US people.

As the recession concern this measure is though necessary for the US people also, giving a fact that many people in India related to Nasscom and other IT and IT enabled services feel that this will not going to happen.

But the fact is undercover that all the Indian IT companies and workers are holding their breath for the 20 Jan 2009 when Obama takes in the office.

Should it A Matter of Worry
The matter of fact is that Indian IT industry gets about 60% of revenue of US outsource IT jobs. The situation in India is not too good also as companies are in all time crises and this is pertaining them to shed of the workers and the situation worsen and not many jobs are available here.

People related to Indian IT industry further believes that IT is not the general work it is rather depended on the skills and the efficiency. Also, this is a fact that Obama said he would cut the taxes for the companies who benefits from outsourcing.

More
Now the question in concern is that many people have further said about this that Obama was not saying about the IT jobs but he is pointing to the other outsourced jobs. As the industry has cut jobs more and this has given rise to the unemployment situation.

The whole situation is so confusing that why not any journalist clarified in the initial stages when Obama spoke about this topic that he was referring to IT or other industrial jobs. Now that he is elected one can only wait and watch the situation.
