Open Carry in Virginia

by Vincent Martinez

September 15, 2012

In the Commonwealth of Virginia, little is required to open carry a handgun. You don't need a special license or certificate, and you don't even have to have the firearm registered.

So I was eighteen years old. Legally, I couldn't purchase a firearm but I could carry one on my person (and with a certain permit, I could carry one concealed). And I knew this. I have a sort of routine walk that I use to advocate open carry. I know where the school zones are. I know where the government offices are. And so my route is quite safe from any zone that could get me into serous trouble if I choose to carry a firearm. While taking a walk down Lauderdale Drive one day, I was stopped by an officer...

Keep the Internet free and open

Official Google Blog

by Vint Cerf

December 8, 2012

Starting in 1973, when my colleagues and I proposed the technology behind the Internet, we advocated for an open standard to connect computer networks together. This wasn't merely philosophical; it was also practical.

Our protocols were designed to make the networks of the Internet non-proprietary and interoperable. They avoided "lock-in," and allowed for contributions from many sources. This openness is why the Internet creates so much value today. Because it is borderless and belongs to everyone, it has brought unprecedented freedoms to billions of people worldwide: the freedom to create and innovate, to organize and influence, to speak and be heard. But starting in a few hours, a closed-door meeting of the world's governments is taking place in Dubai, and regulation of the Internet is on the agenda.

Adobe's database was hacked on October 3, impacting an estimated 150 million Adobe users. Here's a simple way to see if you're affected.

Wonder if your email address, password, credit card information or more was leaked to the world when Adobe's database was hacked last October? If you've gotten your email address anywhere near an Adobe product past or present, then the answer is: probably. Recent reports reveal that Adobe's stolen database held around 150 million user accounts - and not the 2.9 million Adobe originally reported, or the 38 million Krebs on Security later reported.

Mobile becomes a core component of AdSense

Inside AdSense

by Vishay Nihalani

February 15, 2012

We launched AdSense for mobile content before the smartphone revolution when everyone had a flip phone.

Our goal was to help pioneering publishers monetize their mobile content. Since then, we've seen mobile technology advance and an increasing number of consumers are viewing content from "smarter" mobile devices. To make it easier for publishers to use AdSense to monetize mobile web pages, we've migrated all mobile ad unit sizes, including the mobile banner ad unit, into the core product.

How to Efficiently Clean Hidden Link Injections in Your Hacked WordPress Sites

ManageWP

by Vladimir Prelovac

March 4, 2013

Recently I had a very sobering experience that demonstrated just how serious the threat of hacked WordPress sites is. I discovered hidden link injections in some posts on a few of my old sites.

These are sites that I no longer actively maintain, they were kind of neglected, and haven't been updated in a while. The hack inserted links to drug sites (the viagra and cialis bunch) using "display: none" attribute to hide them from the page. I think Google disregards these hidden type of links, but having them can penalize your site nevertheless.

Sound Bite of the Day: Mike Malloy Blames Occupy Violence on... Breitbart

Big Journalism

by Von Losch

November 7, 2011

No, I'm completely serious. I know.

Mike Malloy, that bastion of bountiful braininess to whom no one would listen if Larry O'Connor didn't post his remarks on Breitbart.tv, says Andrew Breitbart is responsible for Occupy Oakland violence.
