Is this "coming" searchengine collecting "alternative sites and siteowners"? It seems so.
Strange a so-called "honest" search engine that has no search functunality yet (they say within a couple of weeks):
http://www.goodgopher.com/
Can we trust such an initiative or is it a scam and a phish?
This code there made me wonder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AddToAny

AVG? I can't trust any of their apps due to privacy concerns. If you know how much data you "lose" at their flashlight on Google Play...

Lisandro,

Maybe you should have checked the amount of permission required to install their flashlight App.


If the permission this app requires is anything beyond access to your camera, I'd get rid of it. A flashlight app also doesn't need to be very large in size. If the one installed on your smartphone is large, it's probably not what you want and probably does a lot more than simply provide you with a flashlight function. I suggest that it be removed.


I personally use the following Smartphone Flashlight App:

It can be obtained at:

Bob, please, take out the bold :)

Sorry, I've said torch, but it was an alarm.

Not all anti-virus firms are of interest to the NSA and GCHQ, leaked files reveal

I've noticed that if the AV isn't on the list, it's probably not worth using in the first place.

Samsung deliberately disabling Windows Update
Why would we be worried with NSA when your software manufacturer is whom is against of you in such a critical issue: keep your system updated.
Go ahead NSA, try to beat Samsung :)
