Excellent Reportage

c/net News.com's 25.Jun.2007 story "Google: We All Have to Invent the Wheel" is a fine story: interesting, informative, and thought-provoking. Good Job!

Behavior check

Hacking into a web site run by someone who's politics Douglas Merrill disagreed with was vigilante action. Messing with their right to associate with people of their choice, messing with someone elses computer, destroying records?

Does he still take the law into his own hands?

I couldn't have said it better, Phillep

Thank you for your post, Phillep. It sounds like suppression on the part of Google - and if you look at how readily they complied with China's policy of limiting information to the Chinese people, this says quite a bit about Google.
What was once the best search engine out there has lost their edge as a search engine (supplies junk rather than good links) and they have their noses where the nose does not belong.

Really boring no seriously boring

What a boring article that was I could barely find the strengh to click to page two I had already fallen asleep. And they say its part of a series, oh god, it's going to be a painful week. I might just unsubscribe from Cnet RSS feeds for the rest of the week and come back when its done.

Google, Yahoo, Microsoft security

Cnet done a special on my main subject and they didn't think to approach me for an interview, trust me the things I know would shed real light on what goes on behind the scenes of the Google, Yahoo and Microsoft security team, because I have contacts with elements of each and they give me inside knowledge of whats really going on, instead of the blah-propaganda and rent-a-quotes seen in this series of obviously pro-vendor bull-****.

Google's Security Breech

I own a website and had a Google AdSense account. In the early days when I was getting information about earning money via my website, I came to know about Google AdSense. As an analyst I am always curious about what is happening behind the scenes, so I went through the AdSense ad generator code which can be easily download from Google's server, which they used to generate Ads.

To know more about PPC model of advertisement I had gone through number of articles/reports on Pay Per Click mechanism including the report of Dr. Tuzhilin (Professor of Information Systems at the Stern School of Business at New York University), who evaluated Google?s invalid click detection efforts (Find PDF Report [Source: http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2006/07/25/revealed-how-google-manages-click-fraud/).

After going through all those articles and analyzing Google?s code I found a way to simulate human behavior in click generation and page impressions in proper (acceptable) ratio from different geographic location (IP address) and was able to credit thousands of dollars in my AdSense account (By not a single human being generated click).

So, do you realy think they are really having good things with them???
