Simple truth 1

Sometimes even though I have many important things on my agenda, I still waste time browsing the internet.

The most hilarious gif - The Lord of the Rings

This Lord of the Rings gif is the most hilarious gif that I have come across. I don't know who made it - really want to credit him, but can't find his name on the internet. If anyone knows who created it, please let me know.

Google Sidewiki

Google Sidewiki is the latest addition to Google's tools and services. As a product just released to the world, it is too early to tell whether it will be a success. As an idea though, it is just the thing we the internet users have been looking for. It is quite literally an unbiased review/comment section for every web page on the internet. A consumer need not search the internet for reviews of a particular website. Instead, with Google Sidewiki, he need only click the Sidewiki icon on his Google toolbar to instantly see unbiased reviews of the website he is viewing.


Being an avid internet user, I can say that Google Sidewiki will be used to review not just websites, but the products on the websites too. In fact this is the purpose of such a review/comment section. I myself totally depend on reviews when buying any product. The collective human knowledge gives me the big picture about any product that I want to buy. My decisions based on unbiased reviews on the internet have never gone wrong enabling me to make the best decision possible. Such is the power of the internet. Google Sidewiki now brings that power even closer and more accessible to the average user, and I applaud Google for their clairvoyance in this respect. Since it is still new, the reviews are not sufficient to make informed decisions about products; but once people start depending on Google Sidewiki (which will inevitably happen) the reviews will be in sufficient amounts to make informed decisions using Sidewiki alone.

https for facebook no longer works

I'm very big on internet security; and I always use https to connect to websites that need login information. For some reason however, facebook does not allow connections to their website using https. It is the biggest social network in the world and it has stopped supporting HTTPS? What is going on? Do they want people to steal our identities? Access to facebook through https://www.facebook.com/ gives the following error message.


This problem actually started a while back. I think it's about a month old. I hope Facebook resolve this situation soon. Facebook already faces many questions with regard to their privacy policies, and this situation will only make things worse!
