We shall see.\n<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Google also rolled out <a href=\"http:\/\/googleblog.blogspot.com\/2006\/10\/more-developer-love-with-google-code.html\">&#8216;Google Code search&#8217;<\/a>, a search engine to find sourcecode. A word of caution if you&#8217;re a commercial developer: most of the code is covered by the GPL. That said, there was quite the buzz about the features where analysts and other experts suggested that &#8216;Hackers Could Now Finally Reverse Engineer Passwords and that and the end of civilization is night because the source is all open and bare and that&#8217;.

I&#8217;m not sure what the point of it all is: yesterday&#8217;s myths being busted were the &#8216;security features regularly shown in Hollywood movies&#8217; (like laser security and that).

But definitely fun to watch.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"extra\"><small><sup>1<\/sup> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en\/press\/pressrel\/google_youtube.html\">Official Google press release<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier, Google announced that it is taking over YouTube1, the popular video sharing site.
