Oh my God, Google changes its privacy policies tomorrow

An alliance of European and US consumer advocacy groups made a last ditch appeal to Internet search and advertising giant Google today to delay changes to its privacy policies. Google says the changes will make it easier for consumers to understand how it collects personal information, and allow the company to create more helpful and compelling services. Critics, including most of the country's state attorneys general and a top regulator in Europe, argue that Google is trampling on people's privacy rights in its relentless drive to sell more ads. The new terms will allow Google to regroup data from several different services that were previously separate under a single comprehensive profile, giving it a more integrated view of its users, an advantage enjoyed by Apple and Facebook.

Sexy, Hot, Shirtless, What's else?

Hollywood celebrities always create fashionable trends in the world. They rarely go out without make-up or dress themselves in luxurious clothes. Besides, it's hardly ever to see those stars put on a dress twice or have fashion-off with others. I find that these days, we can easily catch the sight of their shirtless or sexy body such as Eddie Cibrian shirtless for Charisma Ad, bikini Miranda Kerr on Sydney vacation, shirtless Casper Smart and Jennifer Lopez on beach.

Surging online interest in Domnica Cemortan

Francesco Schettino , captain of the ill-fated Costa Concordia, may be the least popular man in Europe. However, he does have at least one fan. Domnica Cemortan (sometimes spelled "Dominica Cermotan") of Moldova is doing her best to defend Schettino's honor.

The 25-year-old gave an interview with Moldova's Jurnal TV. She claims Schettino "did a great thing, he saved over 3,000 lives" and that he stayed on deck until 11:50 p.m., an assertion that contradicts other reports. The ship sank on Jan. 14. Eleven people have been confirmed dead; 21 more are missing.

Cemortan has worked on cruise ships, but she claims, according to ABC News , to have been onboard the Costa Concordia as a passenger. The trip, she has said, was a birthday present.
