Sometimes, when companies blog about a big new feature, there’s a juicy little tidbit of news just thrown in somewhere. That’s the case with today’s Google Apps two-factor authentication announcement from Google. Tucked in amongst the notes was an aside about Google Docs, and it’s a zinger. As spotted by out pal Brad over at Mobiputing, Google Docs users with an Android device or iPad will soon be able to edit their documents.Don’t be deceived by the screenshot — it’s from the current iteration, which only allows for data to be entered in cells. It’s safe to assume Google means that “mobile editing” on supported devices will be much more than that.[via: Mobiputing]

Almost a year ago, we told you about Google’s experiments to improve the speed and relevance of its searches with a new index code named Caffeine. I had forgotten all about that until this week, when Google’s official blog revealed that Caffeine is finally here. Google says searches will be 50% faster now, and that Caffeine means Google’s index is closer than ever to keeping pace with the live Web.
Caffeine basically checks the Web for new content in smaller chunks than the old index, and it does so more frequently, meaning new content gets added to Google much more quickly. Caffeine is also more flexible than the old method of indexing, so Google can update to keep pace with new developments on the Web. Don’t you just feel faster already? Wheeee!

A lot of people use the Internet to find porn.
A lot of people use Firefox (go download Firefox 3.6!)
In fact, I’d go as far to suggest that porn surfers — or at least the search for naughty, illicit, adult-only material — account for Firefox’s biggest market demographic. The ‘young’ Internet — blogs, social networks, porn — is predominantly ruled by the spotty teenagers of the browser world: Firefox and Chrome. Internet Explorer’s total market share is larger, but corporations, geriatrics and aging family computers — i.e. the non-porn world — account for most of that.
I’m not expecting you to raise your hand or even nod your agreement, but let’s face it: most of us, at some time or another, will search for porn. It makes sense to be prepared for such an eventuality — I think we all know the perils of loud, auto-playing sex music or aggressive pop-ups of hairy, German MILFs that just. won’t. close. (more…)
