GoogHOle Exploits GMail, Picasa and 200K Other Sites

Giorgio Maone writes "Multiple Google-targeted exploits disclosed in the past 3 days could compromise your GMail account, steal your pictures from Picasa or impersonate you on almost 200,000 big sites which outsourced their search engines (vulnerabilities included in the price). If even Google, a very reactive company when web security matters, does face this kind of problems, how serious is the threat and what can you do, as a "normal" web user, to protect yourself?"

    My cock has been erect since 4am...

    Normally, such an occurrence is caused by blood engorging in the spongy erectile tissue located inside the penis (or clitoris if you're a woman).

    But this time is different.

    I used the penis pump being sold at penispump.com to force my normally 6.5" member to a dizzingly new length of 8.25". PLUS THE GIRTH INCREASED AS WELL. It's all natural, using a reduction in the amount of available atmospheric gases surrounding the penis to produce growth. The ancient Egyptians first recorded this technique on their Papyrus scrolls some 2500 years ago.

    Here's the problem. I have no one to share this erection with. Slashdot, I beg of you, please find me a mate that I can impale. Male or females welcome.

    You just show that these things are Windows only. Someone's done that for one of them already. Extra style points are awarded for showing that you can use Flash outside of Windoze without being screwed, but that's going to be harder. Let's have a look:

    • Woops, MustLive is in Russian and bombs translators. Great reference for English speakers.
    • Picassa, mentioned above - Windoze only.
    • Beford - not full disclosure but relies on IE's expression(), I'm not sure how he tested that with Konqueror - Windoze only.

    Looks like a steaming pile of M$ to me, you know the one in four are owned OS. Even if some of these do bleed over, a company is still better off ditching Windoze for Google services. Google will fix the problems and none of them work if you are not logged in and using Google so that simple precaution almost eliminates the problem.

    Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.
