Google Gmail accounts hopelessly hacked

The Google help forums are rapidly filling up with frustrated users complaining about "Unknown" contacts mysteriously showing up in their Gmail account contacts list.

Users have reported changing their passwords multiple times a day, only to find the "Unknown" contacts still appearing.

Users are also resorting to deleting their Gmail contacts lists entirely just to keep their friends and familiy from receiving spam.

Google's response has been the standard link to old instructions on how to change your password.

Google Search Engine suddenly LAME!

Do you want to find out how lame Google's search engine has become?
Just compare the search results between Google and Yahoo! by search for images of Orcs from The Lord of the Rings.

Google is...
-------------------------

After posting the above blog, I went back and did another search and the search results suddenly improved. I don't know what the problem was, but it was very disturbing to find only pictures of babies and normal humans making stupid faces, while searching for Orcs.

Why was I searching for orc images? Because the "journalists" (minions of the old gate-keeping news media that rolled over while the Bush administration pushed us into an illegal war in Iraq) are gathering in St. Petersburg Florida for a symposium to determine their fate and to make plans for preventing independent bloggers from getting Press passes to anywhere.

I want to make a funny composite of an orc at a computer wearing a Fedora with "Press" card in the hat band.

Too many people might associate it with Matt Drudge (what ever happened to him anyway?) of the Drudge Report.

I'm going to give it a shot anyway and post it shortly. It will take a few hours so be patient.

Testing Google Docs 'Form'

In Google Docs, I discovered there is a form you can create for surveys. It even stores the results and displays them on a spreadsheet and shows graphs for you too. I'd like to test it here. Google docs will automatically generate the code you need to embed the form in your blog or website. When it generates the code, the iframe size is adjustable, the default height for mine was 310 by 1094, but since it scrolls, I want to adjust it



I hope you participate. When I get enough results, I'll try to see what they look like when I publish them. I checked into it and right now it doesn't look like the results are quite as dynamic as polldaddy.com but it's still free.
