Google (Not) Hacked
I woke up this morning(was going to be afternoon soon as I woke up around 11 am) and as usual I just went and took a glance at the paper, the next thing I saw horrified me. I saw this article in The New Indian Express(a faction of Indian Express which only circulates in South India). My first reaction was “What The F@#$” but when I read the whole news my reaction had calmed down since I realised it was once again one of those great Indian Media Follies; picking up news from places which are least bit credible.
Then I showed this article to Harsh in the evening, he said that he had seen that google watchdog link somewhere and gave me the link. I checked the site and searched for the specific post. What I found was utter crap. The so called keywords which lead you to malicious sites was not even listed there.
I don’t know how Indian media can believe any crap they see on internet. They verified it with some one person who said that he ended up on a malicious site when he searched something on google. I bet he was searching for porn materials on google that is why he ended up on some malicious site. People never even think before they click on the links they see on search indexes. First rule of using internet was and is to use ones common sense, which many people now a days don’t care to use and click away on any links they can find(Even if its scientifically impossible which includes crush calculating and taking photos through you rmonitor and many such stuff).
I hope Indian Media actually wakes up to the world of internet and understand that everything they read on internet is not always correct.

Heh, taking photos through your monitor is a classic, it always works
The Hindu too has some stupid strictly-gossip stuff in it these days. Though their technical stuff is okayish to read and not something which’s false.
