#Google Taara

PLDT and Google’s Taara project have brought fiber-like internet to Barangay Subay in Talim Island, Rizal without laying a single underwater cable. The Taara system uses free-space optical communication to transmit data via light beams, offering a lower-cost and faster-to-deploy alternative to submarine cables in hard-to-reach areas. The Talim Island deployment marks the Philippines’ first use of Google Taara’s air laser system and signals a potential shift in how connectivity can be expanded across archipelagic and geographically isolated areas. There was some sort of mass panic last night when Google was spewing a warning "this site may harm your computer" on all their search results. People search on Google were shocked and confused as if the search engine itself was hacked. Connie took a screenshot from her browser of what turned out to be human error from some engineers over at Google: The incident happened sometime between 6:30 a.m. Google flags search results with the message "This site may harm your computer" if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously.
