Twitter has just announced that the reason for the recent password shuffling comes from torrent related websites. Someone for a long period of time was “creating torrent sites that require a login and password as well as creating forums set up for torrent site usage and then selling these purportedly well-crafted sites and forums to other people innocently looking to start a download site of their very own.”
Twitter goes on to say that “however, these sites came with a little extra — security exploits and backdoors throughout the system.”
That began the problem, with hundreds of people being asked to reset their password after their accounts were possibly compromised.

You can soon upload any file type at all to Google Docs, not just the dozen or so Office formats that the service allowed as of yesterday. Video files. Images. Audio Files. Even Zip files. As long as those files are 250 MB or smaller, you’re good. The new feature will roll out over the next several weeks, says Google.

Like other documents in Google docs, files can be kept private, made public or shared with a few users. Google Viewer can be used to view many file types, with the notable exception of video.

Regular users have 1 GB of free storage and can purchase more for $0.25/GB. Enterprise customer pay higher prices, starting at $17/year for 5 GB. There are no bandwidth charges.

Three Third Party Apps Available Now

Three partners have been working with Google to build value add features on top of the new product. The most interesting, Memeo Connect (from Memeo), lets users sync files between the desktop and Google Docs.

” God Mode ” allows you to do is change every setting and administrative option in Windows 7.

So at least you get “Godly” powers over your Windows 7 machine.

All you have to do is the following:

1. Create a new folder on your desktop or anywhere ( right click on a blank space – new folder )
2. Then rename it to the following ” GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} ”

The folder icon will then automatically change itself to the control panel icon and there you have it!

All you have to do is double click the God Mode shortcut and you can edit every Windows 7 settings that you can imagine all through a GUI. Everything from the Action Center, Back Up plans, Desktop Gadgets and Power Options are all available here.

I guess it’s handy if your looking to change a lot of settings at once?

Apparently it works with Windows Vista as well

A new worm that promises the gift of more followers is spreading quickly on Twitter. Unfortunately, the only thing that the sites involved seem to do is use your account to spam your followers.

One of the sites involved asks for your Twitter (Twitter) username and password and appears to be associated with the Twitter account @GetFreeFollowers, which has been suspended by Twitter. Another that I came across may be far more damaging, as it appears to be spreading malware through what look to be YouTube (YouTube) videos (but actually work like Koobface). A similar scam also seems to be fairly widespread in Portuguese.

Be careful of these get more followers programs out there!
