Google admits problem with Google Account system

Google Adsense Team has acknowledged a potential bug in Google Accounts related to changing password. The problem is related to the recent AdWords migration to Google Accounts.

If Adsense Publishers try to change their Google Adsense password from the Google Accounts interface, the password is changed for all other Google services (like GMail, Orkut) except Adsense service. The publisher may not be able to even enter Adsense service without the help of a Google Adsense support member. Read detailed description of the Adsense bug.

The Google Adsense Support sent an email admitting the problem
Thank you very much for bringing this issue to our attention. Please note that because of our recent AdWords migration to Google Accounts, certain AdSense accounts may have migrated to the Google Account system. Therefore certain AdSense publishers must, in fact, change passwords and other account information from the Google Accounts page instead of the previous AdSense page.
Adsense publishers can use the "Forgot your password?" link for resetting their password, whether or not they have migrated.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
