For a period on Saturday, all search results were flagged as potentially harmful, with users warned that the site \"may harm your computer\". Users who clicked on their preferred search result were advised to pick another one. Google attributed the fault to human error and said most users were affected for about 40 minutes. \"What happened? Very simply, human error,\" wrote Marissa Mayer, vice president, search products and user experience, on the Official Google Blog. The internet search engine works with stopbadware.org to ascertain which sites install malicious software on people's computers and merit a warning. Stopbadware.org investigates consumer complaints to decide which sites are dangerous. The list of malevolent sites is regularly updated and handed to Google. When Google updated the list on Saturday, it mistakenly flagged all sites as potentially dangerous. \"We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to prevent it from happening again,\" Ms Mayer wrote.")

b.train("interesting", "Mixed reaction to digital plans Reaction to the publication of Lord Carter's interim report on Digital Britain has been swift. The 86-page report sets out ambitious targets for the government to make broadband ubiquitous across the UK, reform radio spectrum, and sort out public broadcasting. Some have been positive about its conclusions but opposition politicians criticised the wide-ranging report, saying it was light on specifics. \"We're very disappointed,\" said Jeremy Hunt, shadow culture minister. \"We thought the report was going to contain a strategy,\" he said. \"In France and Germany they are laying fibre, in Japan they already have it. In Britain the average broadband speed is 3.6Mb so what [Andy Burnham] is talking about is getting half the current speed.\" Don Foster, the Lib Dem's culture, media and sport spokesman, said the report was \"bitterly disappointing\". \"We've spent lots of money on reviews, but all we now have is a strategy group, an umbrella body, a delivery group, a rights agency, an exploratory review, a digital champion and an expert task force. \"This report has been a complete damp squib,\" he said. Industry analysts warned that the report should not end up as a substitute for concrete action - especially where moves to universal broadband were concerned.")

b.train("interesting", "Cybercrime threat rising sharply The threat of cybercrime is rising sharply, experts have warned at the World Economic Forum in Davos. They called for a new system to tackle well-organised gangs of cybercriminals. Online theft costs $1 trillion a year, the number of attacks is rising sharply and too many people do not know how to protect themselves, they said. The internet was vulnerable, they said, but as it was now part of society's central nervous system, attacks could threaten whole economies. The past year had seen \"more vulnerabilities, more cybercrime, more malicious software than ever before\", more than had been seen in the past five years combined, one of the experts reported. But does that really put \"the internet at risk?\", was the topic of session at the annual Davos meeting. On the panel discussing the issue were Mozilla chairwoman Mitchell Baker (makers of the Firefox browser), McAfee chief executive Dave Dewalt, Harvard law professor and leading internet expert Jonathan Zittrain, Andre Kudelski of Kudelski group, which provides digital security solutions, and Tom Ilube, the boss of Garlik, a firm working on online web identity protection. They were also joined by Microsoft's chief research officer, Craig Mundie. To encourage frank debate, Davos rules do not allow the attribution of comments to individual panellists")

b.train("interesting", "Hacker wins court review decision British hacker Gary McKinnon has won permission from the High Court to apply for a judicial review against his extradition to the United States. The 42-year-old from north London, who was diagnosed last August as having Asperger's Syndrome, has admitted hacking into US military computers. His lawyers had said Mr McKinnon was at risk of suicide if he were extradited. Lawyers for the home secretary had argued against the review, saying the risk to Mr McKinnon's health was low. Fresh challenge Lord Justice Maurice Kay and Mr Justice Simon ruled that Mr McKinnon's case \"merits substantive consideration\" and granted him leave to launch a fresh challenge at the court in London. His lawyers had previously told the High Court that if he were removed from his family and sent to the US, his condition was likely to give rise to psychosis or suicide. The condition was not taken into consideration by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith last October when she permitted the extradition. However, her lawyers said she acted within her powers. The judges said that although Ms Smith's decision might be found to be \"unassailable\", Mr McKinnon had an arguable case that should be tested in court.")

b.train("interesting", "Google takes on Apple in mobile On 23 September the US arm of operator T-Mobile is expected to whisk the cloth off the first handset running Google's Android operating system for mobiles. The appearance of the gadget barely 10 months after first unveiling its plans for phones has got many wondering if the search giant will repeat its online success on handsets or if it will suffer a bloody nose. Certainly some industry pundits do not think the initial launch will have much impact. Wait and see \"What we expect will happen is that Google will launch very softly, one device, and the user experience on it will noting to compare to the iPhone,\" said Ilja Laurs, founder of mobile development network GetJar. \"Most likely in the first months the industry will say 'nothing major is here' and it will not have much success at all,\" he added. Geoff Blaber, director of devices and software platforms at consulting firm CCS Insight, added: \"Google has a long way to go.\" He points out that, so far, Google has persuaded few operators to back Android. \"At the moment most operators have taken a 'wait and see' perspective,\" he said. \"Google is going to need the consumers to pull those devices through and build demand.\"")

The US software giant says IE 8 is faster, easier to use and more secure than its competitors. \"We have made IE 8 the best browser for the way people really do use the web,\" said Microsoft's Amy Barzdukas. \"Microsoft needs to say these things because it continues to lose market share to Firefox, Chrome and Safari,\" said Gartner analyst Neil MacDonald. Recent figures have shown that Microsoft's dominance in this space has been chipped away by competitors. At the end of last year, data from Net Applications showed the software giant's market share dropped below 70% for the first time in eight years to 68%. Meanwhile Mozilla broke the 20% barrier for the first time in its history with 21% of users using its browser Firefox.")

Increases of serotonin, the nerve-signaling chemical targeted by many antidepressants, appears to spark the behavior changes needed to turn the normally harmless insects into bugs that gang up to munch crops, they said. Rogers and colleagues, who published their findings in the journal Science, wanted to find out what triggered the behavior change, which occurs when the insects gather in close quarters.")

b.train("not_interesting","COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka's president urged the Tamil Tiger rebels on Friday to allow the estimated 250,000 civilians trapped in the northern war zone to flee to safety following reports of heavy casualties among noncombatants stuck in the shrinking territory. Human rights groups have accused the rebels of holding the civilians hostage and accused the military of launching heavy attacks in areas filled with civilians, including a government-declared \"safe zone\" in the north. A senior U.N. official said both sides appeared to have committed \"grave breaches of human rights.\" The rebels and the military deny the charges. In the appeal published Friday on a government Web site, President Mahinda Rajapaksa said the rebels' refusal to let noncombatants leave was endangering their lives and he accused the rebels — known formally as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam — of putting their heavy artillery inside the \"safe zone\" and using it as a \"launching pad\" for attacks on government troops.")

b.train("not_interesting", "36 hours in September changed the world. When investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, the credit crunch became a global financial crisis. But how bad is that crisis? Was it wrong to let Lehman fail? Or was Lehman just a symptom not the cause of the chaos in the global economy? Tough questions, and the World Economic Forum had lined up five top experts (including two Nobel prize winners) to find answers. The economists among them were Crunch Cassandras; two or three years ago they had predicted that our financial system was headed for a huge liquidity crisis - Nouriel Roubini, Nassim Taleb and economic historian Niall Ferguson. A pity then, a participant said, that two years ago nobody had thought of inviting them to speak at the forum. Little wonder that this session was hugely oversubscribed, with 150 people on the waiting list and probably more than that crowding into one of the cavernous dining rooms that are the hallmark of Davos hotels. Under Davos rules this was a closed session, to encourage frank debate. So with a few exceptions I am not allowed to attribute quotes to individual speakers. But I can report what was said, and this session was an intellectually stimulating eye opener - and utterly depressing (at least economically).")

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs gave no further details, but China's Xinhua news agency said both had \"expressed willingness to further ties\". Mr Hu said China was ready to \"expand co-operation... to confront various global challenges together\", it said. The US and China have not always seen eye to eye on the causes of the current global crisis. Last week, US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner accused China of \"currency manipulation\" aimed at keeping its export prices low - sustaining its large trade imbalance with the US. Then, in a speech at the economic summit at Davos earlier this week, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao blamed \"inappropriate macro-economic policies\" for the crisis, in what correspondents say was a swipe at the US.")

Speaking at the White House, he also announced a new task force to help middle-class working families. US economic output fell 3.8%, the worst quarterly contraction in more than 26 years, official figures have shown. It is the first time the United States has seen consecutive quarterly declines since 1991. The rate is annualised, which means that if the economy were to shrink at the same rate for a whole year as it did in the final quarter, it would shrink by 3.8%.")

The editing change has proved controversial and sparked a row among the site's editors.
