This could be true. Based on my experience, Google Chrome has some additional feature that can named as “hidden secrets”. Here are some hidden secrets in Google Chrome:

1. Incognito Window (Control + Shift + N)

Here are 8 ways to prevent of stealth-actions through the usual fake sites:

1. Always type the complete URL address for a site you’re heading on the browser. Be strict, although only one letter different, you can be sent to a fake site.
2. Never tell your user ID or PIN to other person. Even for your bank staff where you have account. Because, generally Bank should never ask your PIN number for any reason.
3. Don’t easy to believe emails contains announcement that your Bank will close your account or your ID if you don’t reconfirm your personal data. Make sure about the announcement validity with contact your Bank first and do not reply or click any link on that email.
4. Do not easy to follow the suggestion to make a transfer to a particular account, with the goal of getting the sweepstakes prize.You should find the complete information by contacting the bank directly.
5. The fake page site nearly the same with the official site. Even the appearance is sometimes twin. However, if you see exactly the differences, you will find the URL from the address or domain are different.
6. Another thing that different is in the word ‘http’ and ‘https’ in the URL. Suffix ’s’ in the’ http ‘indicates that the site is ’secure’, because the technology is protected by data encryption as Verisign SSL.
7. 7. Meskipun pada halaman situs aspal tercantum pula logo ‘Verisign Secured’. Bagi orang awam, tentu sulit membedakannya. Yang dapat menjadi patokan kesahihan sebuah situs e-banking selain tertulis ‘https’, di bagian kanan bawah browser juga ada gambar gembok yang terkunci.
8. Although the fake page shown the ‘Verisign Secured’ logo. For users, of course it is difficult to different them. The main thing that can be used as validity criterion of a e-banking sites is the ‘https’, and on the bottom right of the pages are also shown a locked padlock’s image.
9. Better to ensure the information directly. Contact the customer service, ask  for the information validity before you become a victim of cyber criminals.

Cuil developed by Anna Patterson, a former Google engineer who quit in 2006. Anna is the developer of a search technologies that Google bought in 2004 to improve their search quality. She is very confident that the latest technology she used on Cuil is better than she ever developed for Google.

This time, she will not sell it to Google and will be her own source of money. Cuil managed together with her husband, Tom Costello, and two other former Google engineer, Russell Power and Louis Monier. Start-up company that they developed is supported by capital injection of 33 million U.S. dollars.

For the first stage Cuil has been registering 120 billions of web pages. They claimed the number is three times higher than the Google’s index pages although not yet be ascertained. In addition, the technology used by Cuil requires fewer computers to process the same data with Google.

Those claims seem has made Google a little bit angry, that in the Google’s official blog states that Google machine has detected one trillion URL addresses. However, it doesn’t mean that all URL noted by Google because many address that points to one source. During this Google is closed about the exactly total of pages indexed that they list since they penetrate 8,2 billion URL address about 3 years ago.

The Cuil’s search results displayed more interesting with the format of magazine, followed by photos and related links, and not only lines of text like Google results. Data ranking methods of search results is different with Google because Cuil will choose based on the actual content. In addition, Cuil promises security privacy by not storing the data users.

Cuil.com search results

From the site screen is almost the same with Google, Cuil also prioritizing to access speed and a view that is quite simple in the front page. However, that is different here, Cuil use black background colors.

Cuil.com frontpage

The difference is, on Cuil (as far as I know), special image search and advanced search is not available yet. However, in the search results page, Cuil directly showing the website thumbnail image, displayed in a shaped column just like in a magazine.

I had the opportunity to test some of my personal website in Cuil, the good news is my websites have been indexed, whereas I never feel have submit my URL there.

What clearly is Cuil.com is a new search engine alternative for Internet users. Although many things has promised, Cuil likely have to prove whether they can get more visitors or not from Google. We wait! Try Cuil on www.cuil.com.

• Use at least one (1) symbol character on your password characters row.
• If your system apply password history, then make sure your new password is always far different from the previous password.
• Your password should not contain a name or username.
• Do not use words commonly used in password character. This includes the words taken from dictionary, encyclopedia, etc.

Some examples of strong passwords, as follows:

• A4&$Jhi]
• 3k>i%UA
• O@u#5nQ

Did you know?

Password is actually the weakest protection in a computer system. Therefore choosing a strong password is a must. Why? Because password cracking tool today increasingly became more sophisticated in it way to crack the passwords, plus the computer performance that used in the password cracking also became better. Password that previously needed a week to cracked, now only need a few hours only.

Crack password software usually using three kinds of approaches: intelligent guessing, dictionary attacks, and automation that tries to use a characters combination. If given enough time, the automated method can crack any password. But if the password very strong, it will require a very long time to solve.

Additional notes:

To avoid such keylogger programs (programs that record keyboard typing), you can change your password input pattern. Here’s how:

1. For example your password is 12345
2. How to type is you input first the number 45, move your mouse cursor to the front, then type 123
3. Alternatively’s more complicated is type 5 first, continue to press the ‘home’ button on your keyboard, and type 4 and press the ‘home’ again, after that move the cursor to the front and type 123.

Keylogger generally do not record the key ‘home’, ‘end’, ‘insert’, so you can pair it or create a new variation that will confusing the password thief.

This is quite complex but effective to prevent the password cracking. In addition, enter your password first, then user id. The password thief will always think you enter your user id first before password. If you do that, you will be safe when the theft occurred with a keylogger.

Both these new products will allows third-party sites to receive visitors who have a Facebook or Google account. So users do not need to create account for these both site.
“Indeed, Google Friend Connect and Facebook Connect aims to promote the use of single digital identity across the web,” said Google product manager Mussie Shore, as quoted from Vnunet on Sunday (7/12/2008).

The benefits of using Facebook Connect is the site owner can use the friend connection data that is owned by visitors through Facebook. Google Friend Connect support more types of online identity at the same time allows the user to inculcate in the Open Social application on it sites.
