POPSRemove Firefox Addons, Improve Security “Users are vulnerable and are at risk of an attacker silently installing malicious software on their computers. This possibility exists whenever the user cannot trust their domain name server (DNS) or network connection. Examples of this include public wireless networks, and users connected to compromised home routers,” says Soghoian on his slight paranoia blogspot.

POPSCustomize Google A great extension that adds links to many of the google services to other similar services provided by 3rd parties. In the off chance you couldn't find it on Google, you'll be able to access a number of alternative sites to try to find what you're looking for. And if you're on Froogle, then you can quickly jump to other comparison sites to truly search for the best value.

POPSGoogle is Adults Only Probably every company has these strange legal policies that are read by no one and are never enforced. But Google, as usual, gets the most scrutiny.

POPSAsk's "Eraser" privacy feature is B.S. EPIC (the Electronic Privacy Information Center) has looked into the much-touted new "Eraser" feature of Ask.com's searches, in which it promises to erase user search information, and finds that it is actually, more or less, crap.

POPSIs Google the New Yahoo!? Google is a monster when it comes to syndicating its ads on third-party sites. AdSense revenue, which accounts for more than a third of the company's total revenue with its presence on sites like News Corp.'s (NYSE: NWS) MySpace, CNET (Nasdaq: CNET), or Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX) AOL and CNN.com, climbed 37% higher this past quarter at Google. That compares to a 13% year-over-year dip in affiliate revenue at Yahoo! during the same period. Google has also been growing beyond the clickthrough, whether it's through impression-based display advertising or expanding its action-based affiliate program spots. There is also the monetization of the fast-growing YouTube. Is revenue growth going to decelerate this quarter? Definitely. Is it going to slam on the brakes and go in reverse? This isn't Crazy Taxi! The comScore data pegged Google's click growth at just 25% this past quarter, but Google's top line actually soared 51%.

POPSThe Goons-Unchained Melodies:The Ying Tong Song Includes The Ying Tong Song. Follow the link to more goon clips. If you've never heard The Ying Tong Song, Maybe I could describe it as being written by the ancestors of Monty Python, that the stars of Saturday night live heard to in their cradles. Not a very good description, but maybe you'll understand if you listen to the song. It's a great way to find something to laugh about when it might seem hard. Warning. It can be played to death. It doesn't belong in shopping Malls or elevators.
