This must be a glitch at Google. Search for anything with Google and it will not let you navigate beyond the first page of results. The only option is to download Google Desktop. Seems to only effect Internet Explorer.

Yahoo have started giving “dot” email addresses. Now you can have two Yahoo mail ids for one account. I had shantanuo [at] yahoo.com as my email ID. But now I created oak.shantanu [at] yahoo.com a secondary email ID for the same account. This means if you mail me on any of both addresses, I get the mails on the same account. I can sign into my account with any of both email IDs.

Changing firefox defaults from google to yahoo takes a few things. First, goto about:config and change keyword.URL to http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&p= so typing search terms in the addressbar will take you to Yahoo! rather than doing a Google I’m feeling lucky search, change browser.search.defaultenginename to Yahoo so that selecting text and choosing Search Web for from the context menu would search at Yahoo, and change browser.search.order.1 to Yahoo so Google wouldn’t be on top.

The Google Web Accelerator recently caused a commotion because it was automatically clinking links that people didn’t want clicked.

I’m talking about links like “delete”, “logout”, and “launch the nukes”.

Heise yesterday reported that German DSL provider “Alice/Hansenet” had connection problems. People were not able to surf the web. Today, Heise posts an update to the story; Hansenet were researching into the case and realized there were no problems. Instead, it is now very likely that many people simply set Google as their homepage, and as Google had major outages in at least Germany yesterday, thought their internet connection didn’t work!
