The massive earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday may have shifted the Earth’s axis and created shorter days, scientists at NASA say.
Recently there’s been a WordPress hack going around which has been using cloaking to target Google IP addresses. That means, the spammers/hackers are somehow getting into your WordPress blog, and generating a bunch of spam content and links that only Google can see.
This particular hack uses some particularly dirty methods which include inserting spam keywords into your own content, which is probably to control your keyword density.

Staff from the local Weber-Morgan Health Department dispatched to the scene seized an envelope containing something that resembled seeds, department spokeswoman Lori Buttars said.
“There was an envelope that appeared to have seeds inside,” Buttars said. “What it was is not known yet.”
MacPebbles put up the fence because he thought the next-door neighbor lady was spying on him. Then he took a can of black paint and sprayed pagan symbols on the side of the fence that she sees. To keep her from peeking in, he hung a tarp with more symbols above the fence … The neighbor lady, who wouldn’t give her name, believes she’s the aggrieved party. “It’s totally wrong what he’s doing to me,” she says. And the ground war continues. MacPebbles has put up a canvas and an $800 surveillance system to keep an eye on the enemy. The enemy points to the camera looking out over her driveway and says who’s spying on whom? She says he’s “torturing” her and turning the neighbors against her. I can’t speak for the torture, but the neighbors I talked with seem to be siding with him. MacPebbles seems like a decent enough guy, even with scary tattoos.

The freak phenomena happened not once, but twice, on Thursday and Friday afternoon about 6pm at Lajamanu, about 550km southwest of Katherine, The Northern Territory News reports.
Christine Balmer, who took the photos of the fish on the ground and in a bucket, said she had to pinch herself when she was told “hundreds and hundreds” of small white fish had fallen from the sky.

Google has added updates from Facebook Fan Pages to its data source. This allows access to Facebook’s three million Fan Pages, but not to data from all of the social media network’s 400 million active users.
This means that status updates, links, photos and videos shared on Fan Pages are now indexed by Google Real Time Search, making Facebook the latest addition to Google’s real-time initiative that includes Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku, Indenti.ca, and most recently, of course, Google Buzz.
Comments made on Facebook Fan Pages by non-owners, however, are not included in the search index, nor are updates made on personal pages.
