Google is starting a service, which will provide more storage for different Google services, including Gmail. So for $20 a year, you’ll get 6 GB that can be used to store photos in Picasa Web Albums and to send or receive messages in Gmail. It’s unclear whether Google intends to add other services, but Google Docs and Page Creator are possible candidates. You can manage your storage options from this page. Here are the current plans for upgrade: * 20 GB ($20.00 per year) * 40 GB ($75.00 per year) * 150 GB ($250.00 per year) * 400 GB ($500.00 per year) (Note: Initially, the price for the 6 GB option was $1, but Google quickly changed it to $20.)

"Google has long been dedicated to making information both useful and universally accessible," notes Google VP of Product Development Eric Hind.

Though details of the agreements are scarce and reportedly subject participating city and state officials to strict non-disclosure terms, Google's announcement confirmed that the project is active in several major U.S. populati...

"A software is able to monitor multiple Voice-over-IP (VoIP) call streams, listening in and recording them for remote inspection as .wav files. All that the criminal would need would be to infect a single PC inside the network with a Trojan incorporating these functions, although the hack would work at ISP level as well. The program can index 'IP-tapped' calls by caller - using SIP identity information - and by recipient, and even by date." Software is Called SIPTAP link h3r3 The program can index 'IP-tapped' calls by caller - using SIP identity information - and by recipient, and even by date. Running from August this year until the most recent tap on November 21st, SIPtap had no problems in extracting enough information on the test network to prove that call recording of any and every VoIP call at a hypothetical company was now a trivial exercise. SIPtap demonstrates that the worst-case nightmares of VoIP vulnerability are now well within the capabilities of...
