#Google translate Adds 10 More Languages Including Burmese Google s translation tool is constantly adding new languages
because it ties into Google s efforts to get more Indian users onto its services.
Earlier this month for example Google launched the Indian Language Internet Alliance which seeks to increase offerings for Hindi speakers as well as Hindi voice search.

which means that India will have more Internet users than the U s. within the next year. But only 198 million Indian people are estimated to be proficient in English
so it s important for Google to increase its roster of offerings in different Indian languages
Meanwhile Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt has stressed the importance of free speech in Myanmar. Last year in a speech he called for the Myanmar government to stay away from regulating the Internet saying#The answer to bad speech is more speech.

web users are asked often to quickly change their account passwords to protect themselves against further attacks.
Unfortunately, doing so is said easier than done users tend to reuse their passwords across websites,
Dashlane and Lastpass, have stepped now in to help with new features that allow users to automatically change their passwords on affected websites.
which sites shared that same password and then jumped through the hoops to make the change,

Twitter and Yahoo and is continuing to grow as the feature expands. The first version is available for PC and Mac with mobile support arriving oon,

you click ditin the Lastpass dashboard for a supported site, and a hange Password Automaticallybutton appears.
and Lastpass logs you into the website, creates a new password and submits the changes to the site and to Lastpass.
The next time you log in, Lastpass will use the new password. One difference between the two implementations is that Dashlane feature lets you select all the supported sites
and change the passwords at once it even displays little progress bars at the bottom to show you how the work is progressing.
While the automated password changing technology is a huge leap in terms of efficiency and security protections for today web users,
The problem is that many of the most commonly used web services are accessed also regularly as mobile apps.
web users have shown consistently they prefer the latter. If a site lets you make your password 23456,
it will become one of the most popular password choices. On Android, we should note,
