Google ups free Gmail storage to 10GB

Google on Tuesday unveiled its new “Google Drive” cloud storage solution, taking direct aim at Microsoft’s SkyDrive, Dropbox and other similar services. The new offering includes 5GB of free cloud-based storage and allows users to store, collaborate on, and share documents and other files. At the same time as its new Google Drive service was rolling out across the Web, Google also quietly gave Gmail users a capacity boost of more than 35% according to reports. Gmail launched in 2004 with 1GB of free storage and that figure has been increasing steadily to just over 7GB as of earlier this week. On Tuesday, Gmail’s free storage climbed to 10GB according to a report from Engadget. We haven’t seen the storage boost hit our inboxes yet, but a number of users reportedly have. Google has not formally announced the update.

Google unveils new Google Drive cloud storage service

Google on Tuesday launched a long-anticipated “Drive” service that lets people store, share and collaborate on digital files in the Internet “cloud.”

Google Drive accounts with five gigabytes of storage were available free at drive.google.com and upgrades to more space on servers in the California company’s data centers were available at rates set by size and country.

“The model is really designed at the core to help people live their lives in the cloud,” Google vice president for Chrome and Apps Sundar Pichai said on a conference call with reporters.

“Google Drive is something we see as central to the online experience at Google.”

Google Drive software has been tailored for Windows and Macintosh computers as well as smartphones or tablets powered by Google-backed Android software.

A version tailored for Apple mobile gadgets will be released soon, according to Pichai.

“We want to make sure that all our users’ data are available where ever they are,” Pichai said.

Google Drive data can be reached from various devices, and deleting it from one deletes it from all. Scanned letters can be saved. Fax messages can be sent or received at Drive.

Facebook users are being tempted to click on links to what purports to be a video of Osama bin Laden being shot, in the latest in a series of scams exploiting the hot news story of the Al Qaeda leader’s death.

The messages appear as follows:

Watch the Osama Shoot down video

Osama Dead – Censored Video Leaked
on.fb.me
Osama is dead, watch this exclusive CNN video which was censored by Obama Administration due to level of violence, a must watch. Leaked by Wikileaks.

Clicking on the link, however, will not instantly show you some sensational footage of US Navy Seals attacking Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan.

Instead, you’re told you will have to take an online survey.

That should be enough to set your alarm bells ringing – as survey scams are a continuing problem on Facebook, earning scammers commission with every survey they manage to trick users into completing.

What’s most interesting about this scam is that they trick you into cutting-and-pasting a line of JavaScript into your web browser’s address bar.

Not that you’ll realise that you’re doing that, of course. As far as you know all you’re doing is following a sequence of instructions and keyboard presses before you watch the video.

But any time you paste a script into your browser’s address bar, you’re effectively running code written by the scammers without the safety net of protection.

Before you know it, you’ll be sharing the news of the “Osama Shoot down video” with all of your Facebook friends, and the scam will be spreading virally.

My guess is that you don’t want to make it so easy for the scammers to run their scripts on your browser – so don’t fall for scams like this.

Be very careful not to be fooled by scams related to Osama bin Laden’s death, not just on Facebook but on other parts of the internet too. Such a big news story always seems to attract the interest of fraudsters and malware authors.

If you want to keep up-to-date on the latest scams, and are a member of Facebook, don’t forget to join the Sophos Facebook page to keep informed about the latest security news.

US pop sensation Justin Bieber has come under attack, from flying eggs.

The teen superstar was performing at Sydney’s Acer Arena on Friday night, when six of eggs were launched from the crowd.

It would seem though that thousands of die-hard screaming fans were not enough to deter the egg-thrower.

A helper quickly cleaned up the mess, before the show went on.

What would you do to the egg thrower(s)? What would be their reward/punishment?

Ohhh nooo!!! Petrol price announced up by 20 sen on a April Fool Day?? Is it for real? Yes, it’s real! The price will only goes up and it will not be down down down… =(

KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 (Bernama) — The price of RON97 petrol will go up by 20 sen to RM2.70 per litre effective midnight Friday night, according to the Petroleum Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM).

PDAM deputy president Datuk Zulkifli Mokti said the increase was due to the rise in the price of crude oil to US$114 per drum this week from US$105.

“This is due to the crisis in the Middle East,” he said when contacted by Bernama Friday night.

Zulkifli said the price was likely to increase in the future due to the situation in the Middle East which he added could prolong.

On Jan 31, the price of RON97, which was floated according to the prevailing oil market price, rose by 10 sen to RM2.50 per litre.

RON95 petrol remains at RM1.90 per litre.

Namewee did it again when this World Cup fever… LOL

放半粒 – 黃明志Official Fifa World Cup 2010 Song (Handicap Goal) by Namewee

Namewee parodies World Cup fever in Malaysia

PETALING JAYA: Controversial rapper Wee Meng Chee, better known as Namewee, has composed a new music video to parody the World Cup football fever.

The clip was uploaded on both popular video sharing site YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/namewee and his personal blog several days ago.

In the song, Wee narrated how the country had never been shortlisted for the World Cup and how Malaysians had to resort to merely betting on the games and watching football matches in order to get a feel of participating in the tournament.

He also rapped about illegal bookies and wives and girlfriends of football fans complaining about being neglected due to the football matches.

The over four-minute long video also features a number of women clad in attractive sport outfits playing football.

In his blog, Wee said he had written the song to bring a different feel to Malaysia’s participation in the World Cup and urged everyone to work harder for sports.

In the video clip, he had also taken a dig at Malaysia’s performance in the last Thomas Cup badminton tournament and on “Datuk Lee’s” comments and reasoning behind it.

The Malaysian badminton team had lost to both Japan and Indonesia during the Thomas Cup.

The video, which recorded over 151,000 views so far, has attracted diverse comments from viewers, including praises and criticisms.

The 27-year-old Muar-born artiste first made headlines with his infamous Negarakuku YouTube music video in 2007, which he did while studying in a university in Taiwan.

The song had used the national anthem as the background to his rap.

He was subsequently questioned by the Bukit Aman Commercial Crimes headquarters for his song and asked to provide a translation of it in Bahasa Malaysia.

Since then, the rapper had also been criticised for hitting out at Tenaga Nasional Bhd after his home in Muar was hit by a blackout and for his views and sentiments on the Chinese independent school system.

He was reported to be planning and seeking government funding for a film.
