Microsoft's Bing And Facebook 's Like Button Team Up Against Google ! Microsoft has deepened its ties with Facebook by integrating the platform's social network data with the Bing search engine.

The famous Facebook 'like' button will appear on the search results.

May 17, 2011
Vulnerability in Google ClientLogin Protocol ! A group of security and privacy researchers from the Institute of Media Informatics at Ulm University in Germany, is claiming to have discovered a serious security vulnerability in Google's ClientLogin protocol.
