I was hanging out with a friend last night and he had a new mobile browser on his phone called Skyfire. It looked very similar to the functionality of the iPhone browser in allowing you to select an area on the page and then zoom into it as needed. That was in beta and […]
It appears IE7 has another vulnerability in the browser.
“In other words, the entire security model of the browser collapses like a house of cards and renders you vulnerable to a plethora of nasty attacks,” Zalewski warns, noting that local system compromise is also possible.
In the article, Zalewski shares exactly what happens and how. It makes […]
We’ve announced that Microsoft is already talking about IE8 and the plans for the next version upgrade for the world’s most used browser.
As we found out though, that could be another 12-18 months before we start using it. In the meantime, you can read this PC Magazine article about getting the most out of Vista […]
The latest issue of the SitePoint e-mail newsletter has an informative article about how web developers can now use the free Virtual PC application provided by Microsoft to test in IE6 and potentially other versions. The benefit and interesting point made in the article though is that Microsoft is also providing a pre-activated copy of […]
After working through a user account rebuild on my main operating machine in the past 24 hours, I’ve come to appreciate the fact that I haven’t relied upon locally stored “Favorites” for quite some time. I had been a very happy user of Yahoo!’s toolbard and bookmarks function until they upgraded their toolbar and broken […]
I used Firefox for about a year or so while IE6 was still on the market. I didn’t really like the initial beta of IE7, so I stayed with Firefox through that time as well. Now that the full-blown version of IE7 is available, I’ve got to say I like the layout and structure of […]
Lots of tips coming around from PC Magazine again. Sorry folks, but I save these things in my Inbox and read through them when I feel it’s something that would help me out. If it helps me out, I figure there’s probably someone else that it may bring some joy to as well.
Sometimes when you […]
It seems I’ve been immersed in “Favorite” frustration today. I was recently strong-armed into upgrading my Yahoo! Toolbar and the wonderfully efficient arrangement of favorite websites I had been using for quite awhile.
Now I’ve begun looking at other options for managing my internet favorites. I’m nowhere close to relying on the bookmarks being stored locally […]
I’ve come across another wish item for IE7 or browsers in general.
If I’ve added a website to my “Favorites”, why isn’t it automatically trusted? Maybe not even automatically, but when I add it maybe I’m prompted to also “Trust” this site. Why should i have to add sites to two separate places if I use […]
I’ve been getting a virus alert message from Windows Live OneCare about a new virus being detected: BAT/BWG.A
Looks like I’m not the only one. If you’re experiencing this problem you can go to this site and get some details on what others are experiencing and what they’re doing to remove the infection.
It seems to occur […]
