Google Invented A Really Cool Zooming Gesture For Your Smartphone (GOOG)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 49 days ago

Here's something new (or at least new to us) from Google that isn't a lame April Fools' Day joke.

Here's how it works: You double tap the screen, but keep your thumb down on the second tap. Then you slide your thumb up and down to zoom in and out. Brilliant! And it's perfect for one-handed use, unlike the regular pinch-to-zoom gesture that requires two hands.

How To Buy Any Illegal Drug You Want On The Secret Internet For Criminals

www.businessinsider.com Dylan Love 67 days ago

A website called the Silk Road enables you to buy drugs as easily as you would buy an item on eBay. We've previously reported on the Tor network, an anonymous collection of sites that exist in semi-secrecy, outside of the scope of Google, Facebook, and even conventional web browsers.
