Google logo gets bouncy

Google logo celebrates search engine's 12th birthday and shows off programmers' skills with interactive 'bouncing balls'

For its 12th birthday, Google has shown off what its programmers can do with a few lines of code, in the latest of its long line of attention-getting "doodles": creating the logo on its homepage out of a set of bouncing "balls" that swirl around the page in modern browsers such as its own Chrome, Firefox, Apple's Safari and some versions of Opera – but not in older versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer (though the most recent version, IE8, does).

Google officially opened its doors – or rather door – 12 years ago in Menlo Park California. As the company history expl

Kirstie Allsopp among those affected as spammer exploits weaknesses in passwords and in Facebook code to try to tempt people to 'free' gadgets

A spammer has exploited a serious vulnerability in Facebook's photo upload system to spam both Facebook and Twitter with photos promising "free" iPads and iPhones.

The photos, which were posted to peoples' walls by exploiting a flaw in which it was not checked whether a photo could be posted to someone's profile, pretended to be from the profile owner and promoted schemes promising cheap or free gadgets - particularly iPhones and iPads.

Among those affected were a friend of Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg - who responded, says the se

Test-driving the plug-in Prius: is this the future of greener motoring?

The plug-in Prius makes local journeys uber-green and ultra-cheap, and the only real drawback is boot space

Green cars are going to be bigger than renewable energy, we heard yesterday. HSBC reckons 8.65m electric vehicles and 9.23m plug-in and hybrid electric vehicles will be sold globally in 2020, up from around 5,000 and 657,000 respectively last year.

Playstation Move review - forget the launch games, feel the potential

Hardware good, software not so...

Released on 15th September, Playstation Move is Sony's entry into the Wii-fuelled motion control gaming market.

Talking of the hardware, setting up Move is easy. Simply place the camera near the TV and watch it
