Hello,We’re writing to let you know about an issue with your January AdSense
payment. The full amount of your most recent Electronic Funds Transfer
(EFT) payment was not transmitted all at one time. Therefore, it will be
issued in two EFT transactions. Within the next few days, you’ll receive
the first payment, which is the bulk of the amount you’re owed. You may
have already received this payment.The remaining amount will be sent in a
separate transaction later this week.

During this time, you may happen to see messaging that your account is on
hold and you’ll be prompted to select a new form of payment. Rest assured
this is a normal part of the process and we kindly ask that you do not make
any such changes until both these payments have been finalized.

Your Payment History page in your AdSense account will show the following
over the next few days:

1) A ‘Payment issued’ line posted on January 25, 2008 calculated in USD.
(If you click on the ‘details’ link next to this line you’ll find this
payment was calculated with an exchange rate of 0.981.)

2) An ‘EFT not successful - earnings credited back’ line has posted today,
January 29, 2008. This doesn’t mean that your EFT was unsuccessful; it’s
only displayed to balance the amounts within your AdSense account.

Again, during this time, you may happen to see messaging that your account
is on hold and you’ll be prompted to select a new form of payment. Rest assured
this is a normal part of the process and we kindly ask that you do not make
any such changes until both these payments have been finalized.

3) Then, a ‘Payment issued’ line will also be posted, for the actual USD
amount of the initial deposit that was sent to your account today, January
29, 2008. (If you click on the ‘details’ link for this payment you’ll find
this payment was calculated with an exchange rate of 1.030.)

4) Followed by an additional ‘Payment issued’ line which has posted today,
January 29, 2008 when this additional payment is processed for the
remaining amount that you are due. (If you click on the ‘details’ link for this
payment you’ll find this payment was calculated with an exchange
rate of 1.030.)

The sum of these two last ‘Payment issued’ lines will reflect the correct
amount of your payment. So soon, your Payment History page will appear
something like the following example:

Jan 25 Payment issued (US$100.00)
Jan 29 EFT not successful - earnings credited back US $100.00
Jan 29 Payment issued (US $96.00)
Jan 29 Payment issued (US $4.00)

Please be assured that the remainder of your payment will be deposited into
your account soon.

Once again, we appreciate your patience as we work to fix the error.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

According to security researchers group from Russia - they cracked the Yahoo! Captcha and providing working implementation as a prove!

Hello! We’re security researchers from Russia. Our fields of interest: security research, OS security, machine learning. This blog is dedicated to our security research.

Few months ago we received information that yahoo CAPTCHA recognition system exists in the wild with the recognition rate about 30%. So we decided to conduct few experiments. We explored yahoo CAPTCHA and designed a similar system with even better recognition rate (about 35%). The vendor was notified. The vendor didn’t reply. In this article we’ll present you our own research.

Google announced a limited worldwide beta of a new version of Urchin software. Google acquired Urchin on March 2005 to create Google Analytics, and many Urchin users were upset with the lack of updated to Urchin. The past version is Urchin 5.0 and runs natively on a server, as opposed to Google Analytics, which is a hosted application. Urchin 5 analyzes traffic for one or more websites and provides accurate and easy-to-understand reports on your visitors - where they come from, how they use your site, what converts them into customers, and much more.

Urchin 6 software will not be free when it is released. However, if you paid for an Advanced Support contract that expired after March 2006, you will be offered a free upgrade to Urchin 6 software when it is available.

There is a free 90-day trial for the software update, which can be requested through authorized resellers. After the 90-day trial period, Google will be selling the new version for a discounted price to users of Urchin. You can download trial beta version here.
