Google has not revealed the names of the applications but said they were applications built for research purposes by a security researcher. The researcher voluntarily removed the applications from Android Market.

The applications were removed because they violated the Android Market terms and intentionally misrepresented their purpose to encourage user downloads. The applications posed no threat, there was no malicious intent in their design, and they had no permission to access private information.

Google’s Bots can understand some Javascript Code.

Google told Forbes that Google now has deeper interaction with JavaScript, and its bots can even “understand some JavaScript.” This could make indexing rich content a great deal easier on the world’s largest search engine.

As Forbes points out, having a program understand JavaScript isn’t a simple affair. No algorithm “can be applied to any program, at any point, and tell whether or not that program continues ad infinitum.” However, if Google’s bots could execute JavaScript themselves, it would solve some of those difficult issues.

The Googlebot is getting smarter and faster, thanks to Google Caffeine.
