Murdoch's UK Sun newspaper website Hacked :The website says a fake report that Rupert Murdoch Found Dead

 Lulz Security hacker rouge group on Monday attacked the website of the Rupert Murdoch owned Sun newspaper, replacing the online version with a fake story that Murdoch found dead .

The hackers redirected visitors to the twitter feed of hacker group Lulz Security, which came to prominence after several cyber assaults on the websites of Sony Corp , the CIA, and News Corp's Fox TV. 

The group also claimed to have hacked the homepage of the phone-hack scandal hit News International, the Sun’s parent company, and the webpage of sister paper The Times was also inaccessible.

“We have owned Sun/News of the World – that story is simply phase 1 – expect the lulz to flow in coming days,” a message from the group warned.

Another message taunted “We have joy we have fun, we have messed up Murdoch’s Sun”

A News International spokeswoman said the company was “aware” of the attack.

The hacker collective said it was “sitting on their (the Sun’s) emails” and was prepared to publicise them on Tuesday.

Lulz has been in the spotlight after taking credit for cyberattacks on high-profile companies including Sony and Nintendo.

Lady Gaga's website hacked : fans' personal information stolen

Fans Exposed ...

  
Popular singer-songwriter Lady's Gaga's UK website was hacked by a group of cyber attackers. 

Hackers have managed to break into Lady Gaga's website and leaked information about its registered users, prompting the pop star's record label to contact the police.

SwagSec is a new group that targets artists and the music industry. Its members have so far hacked the websites of Amy Winehouse, Lauren Pritchard, Justin Bieber and the Klaxons.

Several sources report that Swag Seg, a US based group that (according to DigitalSpy) publicly revealed its plans to attack the websites of Gaga and fellow pop stars Amy Winehouse and Justin Bieber. The hack allegedly took place on June 27, with names and email addresses being lifted, but the information was only made public this week.

Gaga’s overseas label, Universal, contacted the authorities, revealing that “the hackers took a content database dump from ladygaga.co.uk and a section of email, first name and last name records were accessed. There were no passwords or financial information taken.” Well, thank goodness for that!

The label also stated that they “take this very seriously and have put in place additional measures to protect personally identifiable information. All those affected have been advised.”

Gaga is reportedly upset about the matter, and hopes that the cops will be able to solve this case and problem. We really hope that this security breach doesn’t cause Gaga to pull back from her activity in the digital realm. We’re also glad to hear that the hack wasn’t much worse, since it could have been.

An infinite scrolling search page is being experimented by Google

How do you think you quried google and it shows an infinitly scrolable results page.

The new experimental page changes that. As you scroll, both the search bar at the top and links down the left side scroll with you. That way, you can easily update your search term or refine the search from wherever you are on the page without having to scroll back up to find them.

See the experimental design of new Google search results page.

As the video above shows, Google may keep the pages links at the bottom of a page, but combine it with the always present search bar and links. The other change is the preview functionality that now has a clickable spyglass appearing to the side of the text block link rather than next to the link title.

When and if this update becomes the standard for Google Search is in Google’s hands. Everything seems to work, and the infinite scrolling is definitely an improvement.

Google released Android 3.2 Honeycomb SDK

The next in line version of Honeycomb

On the Android Developer forum  Google has oficialy anounced the next version Honeycomb.

As you all might know Android 3.0 is a great solution for Tablets. In the latest version Android 3.2 google brings a number of enhancements, and touts optimization across the system that aim to improve the performance of the OS on current Tablet devices using the OS.

 

 

Fixed size apps that are originally designed to run on smaller device will run better than before as the new OS will not try to optimise the application according to the screen resolution but it gives manual choice to the user to select whether the application needs to be stretched to fit the screen or a little zoom will make things better.

Along with the newer additions, the new operating system will also bring along media sync which will now be possible directly from the SD card as well as opposed to system memory earlier.

To make application much better in terms of experience, Google has given the control to the developers to maximize use of system resources like the display resolution with regards to the application and their display so that users get a better much easier view.

With Google working double time on the new Android Honeycomb 3.2, it is not very far from when we start hearing news about developers releasing the update patches for tablets and this could very well happen over the next few months itself.
