DIVShare Got Hacked last night
I receive this this email from divshare:
Thanks for being a part of DivShare. Late last night we were alerted of a security breach that allowed a malicious user to access our database, which included user e-mail addresses and other basic profile information. No financial information has been accessed by any unauthorized parties. We have taken extreme measures to secure the site in the last 24 hours and are currently in the process of rolling out new security precautions, which is why many files were unavailable earlier today. We apologize for this inconvenience and for the oversights that allowed this security breach to take place. We take the security of all data and files very seriously and are embarrassed and regretful that an intrusion was allowed to take place on our watch.
Please rest assured that no financial information whatsoever has been compromised. While we are not aware of what data has actually been accessed or copied, the database included user e-mail addresses and other data you may have saved to your profile, such as your first name. We are not aware of any files being accessed without permission, but we recommend that you change your account password and the passwords on any private folders as a security precaution.
We can’t apologize enough for allowing this breach to take place. We know how important security is for all our members and their files, and we are taking every precaution available to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. We ask for your patience as we roll out new security upgrades in the coming days, and we pledge to keep your files and user information under the tightest security possible from here on out.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@divshare.com with any questions or concerns.

Firefox aims for download record
So far Mozilla has not said exactly when on 17 June the attempt to break the record will begin. Firefox first appeared in early 2004 and since then has steadily eroded Microsoft's hold on the web browsing world.
"There is actually no record for the greatest amount of software downloaded in one day, so for 24 hours from the moment we push the bits live, that's when the countdown starts," he said.
Mr Kim said Mozilla had no specific target for the number of downloads it would like to achieve on the day but racking up five million would be "awesome".
By comparison, Firefox 2.0 registered 1.6 million downloads on the day it was made available on 24 October, 2006. More than 1.3 million people have pledged to download the new version on 17 June.
WEB BROWSER STATS
- Internet Explorer - 83.27%
- Firefox - 13.76%
- Apple Safari - 2.18%
- Opera - 0.55%
- Netscape - 0.14%

Domain cost
You can register a .com domain name with several very reputable registrars for, say, $6.99/yr to $9.99/yr. Fees for registering the other possibilities, .info, .co.uk, .net, .org, .biz, .tv can range from $0.99 per year to whatever the registering company wants to charge.
But is it going to be worth it? And where do you stop with the combinations? .com, .co.uk, .info and then there's the 'do I add a dash ( - ) just-to-be-on-the-safe-side.com, .org, .biz' ? I would say, probably not. The .com brand is so widely known that most people will automatically type in a .com extension on any website they are trying to find.
Private Registration
This option will keep your private details, name, physical address and email address unavailable to anyone checking the ownership of your domain on "Whois". Internet law requires that all information about domain registration be publicly available and "Whois" maintains the databases that hold this information.
If you buy a private registration, your details will not be available to just anyone who wants to check your domain for specific ownership. There are many domain owners who don't think this is necessary but, on the other hand, private registration can help you avoid spam, crank emails and unwanted phone calls.
It is worth bearing in mind that any emails you send from the US that are commercial in nature, like:
i) Promoting a product or affiliation
ii) Suggesting that the reader visit your sales page
iii) Offering a discount for purchasing some product
are required, by the US Can-Spam Act, to have your correct, physical mailing address visible to your email recipients and the correct email address you sent the advertisement from, so this kind of defeats the object of private registration in some ways.
Protected Registration
This form of domain registration protects you from inadvertent expiration of your domain registration, including credit card expiration, failed billing or outdated contact information. It also makes it more difficult to accomplish most malicious domain transfers by Internet predators. Effectively, your domain would be held for you until you renewed the registration.
It can cost more than $25 a year for this service, depending on who you are using for this protection. If you are a small marketing venture, selling a piece of software, an affiliate product or an ebook on a niche product, you may not need this upsell. However, if later your domain starts making lots of money, and you decide that you do need it, you can easily add it.
Business Registration
This level of domain registration keeps need-to-know information about your business in the Whois database. That information can include a map to your store, website photo, business description, phone number and links to vital pages of your website.
The vital information your customers might need to facilitate business deals with your business is visible to millions of searchers in the Whois domain name database.
Do you need it? That would depend on the nature and size of your business and your budget. This would be more of a marketing/budget decision. A small, start-up website selling one ebook would probably not need this additional service.

Buying expired domains
Creating a special brand for your business always involves spending a huge amount of money in active advertising and promotion. Further, advertizing a web portal to build a special brand around it is a time consuming task that demands hours of dedicated work. If you do not have these resources with you, you can always try and buy expired domain names that are capable of providing a corporate brand to the business. You can always create brand awareness, by choosing and buying an expired domain name that really carries and conveys the issue of what is the web portal all about and what it gives to its visitors.
Let us say that you have found a series of niche keywords on parenting keyword. Now, if you want to buy some expired domain names based on this special keyword, you will need to ensure that the chosen keyword can convey a distinctive and special corporate branding ability.
The selected expired domain name should not only have a good searching placement in many major search engines, it should also be memorable and easily recalled. To establish branding with the selected expired domain name, you may consider the following salient points:
a) Choosing a keyword that relates to everyday experience and feelings could be an intelligent thing. For example, BabyFeeding or BabyHealth can instantly create a good rapport between a mother and her child.
b) Choosing a keyword like MasterDegree will appeal to all those studious people, who wish to pursue their master degrees. Here, the selected keyword connects the inbuilt feelings of people with that of the expired domain name.
c) A keyword that is easily searchable is better than the one that is almost impossible to remember and search. For example, a keyword like MyFavoriteSoup is quite inferior to MySoup.
Establishing a brand and a corporate identity over your chosen expired domain is very difficult and time consuming. However, with careful planning and by applying your intelligence mind, you can buy an expired domain that will allow you to create a special brand and niche web portal.

Yahoo and his New partner: GOOGLE
Yahoo!'s efforts to revive takeover talks with Microsoft Corp. have reached a dead end, prompting the Internet pioneer to hire online search leader Google Inc. to handle some of its advertising sales.Yahoo! is trying to fend off a shareholder mutiny led by activist investor Carl Icahn, who has vowed to replace the company's board because of the way the directors handled the Microsoft negotiations.But Icahn has been hoping to engineer a sale to Microsoft, so some shareholders may be reluctant to support his attempted coup unless he can demonstrate that his slate of directors has a better turnaround plan than the current board.Icahn did not return phone calls seeking comment Thursday. The fate of Yahoo's board is to be determined at the company's August 1 annual meeting.
The news disclosed Thursday caused Yahoo! shares to plunge 10 percent as investors abandoned hope that Microsoft would renew a nearly five-month quest to buy the Sunnyvale, California-based company.
