Interviewing skills

Ever thought of this. I'm just back from a video recording of an interviewing session. Basically, I had to ( along with my colleague ) interview a fresher and a two years experienced candidate. Our HR video recorded the process for training the other senior people who should start recording now. The process was good and at times, we forgot that we are in a drama. We were dead serious in testing the poor candidates ( again our own colleagues ) skills. The same time, the situation changes when they start asking questions to you. Boy, its not easy to answer the basics after 10 years of industry experience.

Google Fixes IE Bug

Google Fixes IE Bug: "aussie_a writes 'Without accepting blame Google has quickly patched the vulnerability, without requiring users to download a patch. Previously covered by Slashdot, the flaw allowed people to access files and passwords on a computer via any website when viewed with IE while running Google Desktop.' From the article: ''Google was able to address the problem quickly because it didn't require changing any code at the user's desktop,' MacDonald said. 'Google applied more stringent security controls on its main site, which shut down the exploit.' The incident does raise important questions about Google as a desktop software vendor and its plans for rolling out future security fixes, said MacDonald. '"
