Google News . New SRP on the rise

Not everyone will be able to see this new Google SRP (or Search Results Page aka: SERP/Search Engine Results Page), so I’ll just post it up here.

TECH TALK . Hey I hacked your password

Hey, if your password is “password”, well then maybe you deserve to be hacked. That may be the mantra of deviants who have nothing better to do all day but try to topple other people’s accounts. Apparently, you don’t even have to set up a phishing site, just plug in any one of [...]
