When I am trying to login to my Google Adsense account , My Firefox browser said ” google.com uses an invalid security certificate”. I wondered.

In the address bar I typed google.com/adsense. For this domain Firefox 3.0.1 said, The certificate is only valid for www.google.com. Its working fine with Internet Explorer. Then I tried www.google.com/adsense in Firefox, Its working fine. Then google.com and google.com/analytics are working fine.

I do not know what is the problem. In the bottom of the error message in Firefox, I clicked on you can add an exception. Then Add exception, In new window, clicked Get Certificate.

Then I stopped. Do you know why it is happening?

Today I typed airtel.com in my browser instead of airtel.in. To my surprise airtel.com redirects me to vodafone.es. Vodafone.es is official website of vodafone spain.

The title of the web site airtel.com is Airtel ahora es vodafone which means Airtel is now Vodafone. I do not know whether Airtel was there in spain and later bought by Vodafone.

In the initial videos, people reacted to vista as they are not willing to touch that. After that Microsoft shows their project Mojave to participants. But the participants do not know that they are seeing Vista. After getting their responses on Mojave, the participants were told that it was actually Vista they were being shown.

” Wow I would like to get Vista, Incredible speed, Its crazy, Its different than what I heard” some of the comments from the participants.

Project Mojave got all positive responses. I think Bill Gates will be happy to hear these comments.

Cuil - an another challenger for Google. Former Google employees launched this rival search engine. Cuil is an old Irish word for knowledge. The founders claimed that, Cuil is the world’s biggest search engine and searches more pages on the Web than anyone else. Three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.

” If a search engine is incapable of indexing the Internet properly how can it hope to provide accurate search results? ” - I found at Cuil. Is this about Google?

Google searches and ranks based on number and quality of links to and from a web page. Unlike Google, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. The technology used to index web pages in Cuil can analyze content of the page. Cuil’s search index spans over 120 billion Web pages.

The features of Cuil includes Drilldowns, Roll-Over definitions, Tabs and Navigation Suggestions. For the search word Steve Jobs, The results are shown below according to Cuil features.

Drilldown - At the right hand side of the search results we can see a panel called ” Explore by Category ” with a list of subjects related to the search.

Roll-Over Definition - When you pause on a subject suggested by “Explore By Category,” a definition of that term may appear.

Tabs - Cuil helps you to search by offering you other choices and suggestions. Cuil will show you “Tabs” that suggest ways to clarify your search.

Navigation Suggestions - When you type a query, sometimes you’ll see a search suggestion with an icon representing a website. Click on this link and you will go directly to that website.

And Here is the complete search page for the key word Steve Jobs.

Let us see how Cuil compete with Google. I found many sentences against Google and Its technology in Cuil. Google responded for that here.

For example, if you are using IE, when you press alt + s, the focus is moved to the Scrapbook link at the top of the page. Pressing enter will then take you to your scrapbook page.

On Netscape Navigator and Mozilla Firefox,  alt + shift + s should take you directly to your scrapbook (you don’t need to press “enter”). Similarly, if you hold down  alt+shift,  simply press h for home, p for profile, b for friends, c for communities, l for logout.
