Google want to shut down Google Labs – Sad news for those
people who enjoyed the apps of Google labs, because Google has announced it's
closing down the labs and killing off many of the experimental apps in Google labs,
all in the name of increasing its focus on developing products that have obvious
benefits to the company's bottom line. Google today announced in a blog post
that the company will discontinue its Google Labs efforts. As part of that process,
Google has decided to wind down Google Labs. While Google has learned a huge amount
by launching very early prototypes in Labs, Company believes that greater focus
is crucial if they are to make the most of the extraordinary opportunities ahead.
Google recently killed off a couple of other projects that were not gaining traction.
Last month it pulled the plug on Google Health, a personal health records service,
and turned off the lights on Google Power Meter, a service for monitoring Web-based
home energy use.

Two-step authentication of Google goes worldwide – Google
distributes its two phases of authentication to 40 languages in 150 countries. The
service, which aims to make it more difficult for hackers to penetrate the Google
Account, is available from February as an optional service, but only in English.
The verification system combines two stages of authentication based on password
with a verification code. The code is generated by the Google app on the user's
iPhone, Android or BlackBerry smartphone, or sent to user by the short message service
(SMS) or automated voice call. The account can be accessed after this code is entered.
The verification code can be made valid for a session or for a maximum of 30 days
at a time. The verification system has been available in September for users of
Google Apps, and was introduced in English for Google accounts in February. There
was no geographical limitation earlier, but Google now supports more number of countries
to receive the codes via SMS and voice calls, for people who do not use the Google
authenticator on a smartphone.
