Bing Copies Google Results

In an amazing post by Danny Sullivan , which details how Bing watches what people search on Google, copies it & uses  the information to improve its own results. Of courseMicrosoft denies it.. but what was novel was the spy hunt by Google to caught Bing red handed. It all started with “tarosorraphy”  which is a medical term for a rare surgical procedure on eyes, which was Googled in the summer of 2010 & was quirky enough to get Google’s attention. They corrected it , but what was peculiar was that Bing displayed the first correct result of Google without even a correction of spelling. As the official Google blog states - 

Google returned the correct spelling—tarsorrhaphy—along with results for the corrected query. At that time, Bing had no results for the misspelling. Later in the summer, Bing started returning our first result to their users without offering the spell correction (see screenshots below). This was very strange. How could they return our first result to their users without the correct spelling? Had they known the correct spelling, they could have returned several more relevant results for the corrected query.

How to use Google for Hacking

Google serves almost 80 percent of all the search queries on the Internet, proving itself as the most popular search engine. However, Google makes it possible to reach not only the publicly available information resources, but also gives access to some of the most confidential information that should never have been revealed.

In this post, you will find the information on how to use Google for exploiting security vulnerabilities that exists within many websites. The following are some of the hacks that can be accomplished using Google.

1. Hacking Security Cameras:

There exists many security cameras that are used for monitoring places like parking lots, college campus, road traffic etc. With Google, it is possible to hack these cameras so that you can view the images captured by them in real time. For this, all you have to do is just use the following search query in Google. Type in the Google search box exactly as given below and hit enter:

inurl:”viewerframe?mode=motion”

Click on any of the search results (Top 5 recommended) and you will gain access to the live camera which has full controls. You will see something as follows:

As you can see in the above screenshot, you now have access to the Live cameras which work in real-time. You can also move the cameras in all the four directions, perform actions such as zoom in and zoom out. This camera has really a less refresh rate. But there are other search queries through which you can gain access to other cameras which have faster refresh rates. In order to access them, just use the following search query:

intitle:”Live View / – AXIS”

Now, click on any of the search results to access a different set of live cameras. Thus, you have hacked Security Cameras using Google.

2. Hacking Personal and Confidential Documents:

Using Google, it is possible to gain access to an email repository containing CV of hundreds of people which were created when applying for their jobs. The documents containing their Address, Phone, DOB, Education, Work experience etc. can be found just in seconds.

intitle:”curriculum vitae” “phone * * *” “address *” “e-mail”

You can gain access to a list of .xls files (excel documents) which contains contact details including email addresses of large group of people. To do so, type the following search query and hit enter:

filetype:xls inurl:”email.xls”

Also, it is possible to gain access to the documents potentially containing information on bank accounts, financial summaries and credit card numbers using the following search query:

intitle:index.of finances.xls

3. Hacking Google to Gain Access to Free Stuffs:

Ever wondered how to hack Google for free music or ebooks. Well, here is a way to do that. To download free music, just enter the following query on google search box and hit enter.

“?intitle:index.of?mp3 eminem“

Now, you’ll gain access to the whole index of eminem album where in you can download the songs of your choice. Instead of eminem you can subtitute the name of your favorite album. To search for the ebooks all you have to do is replace “eminem” with your favorite book name. Also replace “mp3″ with “pdf” or “zip” or “rar”.

I hope you enjoy this post. Pass your comments. Cheers!

Features of the Google Glasses

The Google Glasses project has been in the works for a long time, and has largely been kept a secret from the rest of the world. For the uninitiated, the Google Glasses device is essentially a pair of augmented reality goggles that run on Google’s Android mobile operating system. The project has been kept a secret for a while, and has just recently been unveiled to the general public.

While Google has been excellent at keeping secret projects a secret, the Glasses project has long been speculated about and anticipated by the tech news community. As of April 2012, the augmented reality glasses are slated to be released in late 2012. Up until now, very little has been known about the features of Google Glasses. Here are five of the features expected to appear on the new Google Goggles device.

Checking In

Any Google mobile device would not be complete without the ability to check into locations through Google Plus. So, it’s no surprise that a check-in function is among the main features on the augmented reality device. You simply check in using hand gestures. What these hand gestures consist of is not readily known as of yet, but the big idea is that checking will be a seamless effort from now on.

Video Calling

According to a recent video posted on the Google Glasses Google Plus page, the glasses will be capable of handling sophisticated video calls. According to the video, the Google Glasses user can view transmitted video from another caller from a small screen from inside the glasses.

Photo Sharing

Just as with Google smart phones, photo sharing will be an integral feature of the Google Glasses device. In the Google Glasses video, the user simply asks the glasses to take a picture of an image ahead. In this case, the image is of graffiti art. In any case, the big idea is that Google Glasses users will be able to take hands-free pictures through using voice-activated commands.

Music Playing

Google music will also be heavily integrated into the augmented reality glasses. This will likely require that the glasses be connected to a powerful mobile broadband network in order to stream the music. But the idea that users will be able to access the Google Music library from the glasses and stream HD audio files from the cloud is a significant technological advancement. The cool thing is that all music playing processes are based on voice-activated commands just like on the photo sharing feature.

Calendar/Appointments Feature

We’ve taken a look at some fun features of the Google Glasses device, but we haven’t really explored the practical features of the device. The Calendar and Appointments function is perhaps the most practical element of the new augmented reality device. Users can set the calendar so it always appears in one of the screens on one of the lenses. This allows users to always have access to their current schedule without having to flip through a smart phone device

Google Drive: 5 Things Needed to Succeed

Google Drive is one of the mythical creatures of the tech rumor mill since 2006, but it could finally be with us next week, according to reports. Claims of an upcoming launch of the service have been proven false before, but the latest evidence via leaked information would indicate that perhaps now is the time.

However, since 2006, the way we use Web services and store files have changed. We have Dropbox to keep local files in sync, as well as a shareable cloud copy; Amazon Cloud Drive can store up to 1 TB for you in the cloud; and Microsoft has SkyDrive. Even Apple rolled out its unified iCloud before Google, so with lessons learned from the experience of its competitors, here are five main things Google Drive needs to win me over.

Plenty of storage space

Five GB of free storage for Google Drive would be more than double Dropbox’s 2 GB offering. But Box.com and Amazon also provide 5 GB, and Microsoft’s SkyDrive offers 25 GB, with 5 GB available for syncing to a local file folder in Windows. Apple’s iCloud service provides 5 GB free but has no option to be used as an online drive. For people to use Google Drive beyond storing just a few documents, they need more ample storage, at least like SkyDrive.

One place for all your files

You have files attached to e-mails in your Gmail inbox (7 GB+), files in Google Docs folders (1 GB), files in your Picasa Web Albums (1 GB), up to 100 GB of songs on Google Music and virtually limitless photo and video storage on Google+, but nowhere to keep all your files stored with Google in one place. Google Drive should create folders that would automatically pull all the files associated with your Google account, so you can easily search through them.

A seamless way to keep files in sync

This is where Dropbox excels, with a local copy of your folders, and changes are slowly sent through to the cloud in the background. The version of the Google Drive app that TechCrunch spotted indicates there will be a native app for Windows and Mac, which presumably would work like Dropbox. You should also be able to select which folders you’d want synchronized locally — so you don’t have to keep a local copy of your photo gallery on Picasa on all your computers.

Strong mobile presence

Just like Dropbox, Google Drive would need good mobile apps, because that’s where you pay a lot of money for storage. For Android, Google would need to integrate Drive upload functionality into its own apps, while on iOS, it would need an app for iPhone and iPad. It also would need to win over third-party developers to integrate functionality in their apps.

Good pricing scheme

Google already has a better pricing scheme than competitors, at $5 for an extra 20 GB, compared to $40 on iCloud, for example. If Google sticks to this pricing, you could get 400 GB cloud storage for only $100 per year, compared to $500 for 500 GB on Amazon Cloud Drive.

Google Celebrates Alan Turing Birthday

Today you have came across Google Doodle of Alan Turing while opening Google homepage,yes
today our post is about that google Celebrating Mathematician Alan Turing’s 100th Birthday with a Turing Machine placed as a Google Doodle. Google is continously and without interruption honouring many people.

Dr.Alan Turing known as the father of artificial intelligence and computer science,commited suicide in
1954, just two weeks of compeleting his age 42.He involved in certain illegal things that was against the government norms.

His Homosexuality resulted in a prosecution and being homosexual was illegal in United Kingdom at that time.His research played a vital role in the building and creation of the modern computer. The Turing Award,first awarded in 1966, is considered to be ‘the Nobel Prize of Computing’ by the New York-based Association of Computing Machinery, carries a prize of $250,000 sponsored by Intel and Google.

The Google doodle to recognise this legendary mathematician is a brain teaser – the task: spelling GOOGLE in binary code.
