Google Bakes Malware Warnings into Search Results

It is good to see Google doing some due diligence when it comes to malware and virus detection. Importantly, more computer infections spread websites at the top of searches. Google's search spam team works really hard spammers from game the search algorithm. Searchers for “insurance”, “loans”, “mortgage”, “attorney”, “credit”, and “lawyer” are filled sites designed to scam unwitting people.

Last week Google Engeneers discovered some search traffic was being rerouted through proxies, likely as part of a PPC scam. When Google detects this, they are placing a large warning box at the top of search results to warn people that their is malware trying to jack links.

The HTC Status

Its an Android 2.3 phone with a small screen and a smallish physical keyboard. But it has a Facebook button! So you can Facebook! How awesome is that! Opening an app from the home screen is sooo hard.

I think the CNet review sums it up pretty well: "The HTC Status offers stellar hardware and a fantastic Facebook experience, but it's hampered by a tiny landscape-oriented screen."


If you are looking for a replacement for a dying feature phone the HTC Status might be the best option for you. Otherwise, give it a pass.

New MacBook Airs

Not only did Apple release the newest benchmark version of its OS this week, but they refreshed the MacBook Air. From CNET:

On the larger 13-inch MacBook Air, the default 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD feels like enough for everyday use. On the smaller 11-inch model, you only get 2GB of RAM and a 64GB SSD for that much-hyped $999 entry price. Of that 64GB, only about 48GB is available to use after accounting for the operating system and preinstalled apps. With a big music or video collection, or lots of high-end games, that can start to feel crowded pretty quickly. Upgrades to both 128GB and 256GB drives are available for the 11-inch, and adding a 256GB drive brings the price to $1,499. Both sizes can also trade up to a Core i7 CPU, which costs $1,349 for the 11-inch and $1,599 for the 13-inch.
