Very good Google. If this is true, I’ve said it all along, and this is a good sign. China needs to learn how to allow people to find information they want and not be censored.

ieenhanced.com
March 17th, 2010Hi.
well I pulled some cool tweaks from ieenhanced.com and set up putting them into use on ie8.
yes I did install ie8 to see how much like ie6 I could make it.
while it was true with a few registry tweaks i could turn off the command bar, favorites bar and search box, there were still 2 bars showing.
I can assume one of these is the address bar and if that went away then maybe I would use ie8.
However if there is a program that will look like ie6 so be it.
Even better one that just displays like any brouser in ie I wish.
if I could ignore sertain things on web pages, like google adds, frames and other things that don’t matter to me I’d like that.
Right now I am back on ie6 which is simple.
anyway for all the security buffs out there you can be rest assured that I will probably have to go to win7 or whatever at some point.
On that note I wander how easy it is to get into the test team private or otherwise for ie9.
wander if I could get this thing going from the ground up.
On that note I also thought of something I like to call the ie interface switcher.
You choose what you want and what interface you want.
so obviously you would have ie6 ie7 and ie8 maybe others if you wanted.
Sertain things would automatically bleed over.
ie the security things would all work in the menu.
You could check sites and other things.
all toolbars would be gone though including the address bar.
Not sure about rss I think I’d put a good news and rss client with the package.
not sure about email but if I did it would cover pop3 imap http servers and maybe other things.
I suppose I could have it as a semi office suite though most of it would be optional ie I don’t want to bloat anyone.
An internal dazy player would be good to maybe a podcatcher for those that liked that kind a thing.
On many blogs there is supposed to be a way to switch interfaces from the command bar or the menus ie have the interface in ie7 or ie6 but I have searched and I can’t find how.
if there is a way to fix this then yes I’ll gladly put ie8 back on here.

Privacy is Not Dead, Just Evolving – PCWorld Business Center
March 15th, 2010Privacy is Not Dead, Just Evolving – PCWorld Business Center.
OK folks, I don’t remember seeing this before. On podcast 110 we play the article or blog that Tony is talking about here and I want your thoughts on that. But this is interesting too, the fact is that I did read a book, or most of it that is called “Technology and Privicy in the Information Age” (title not complete) and it talks about a lot of different privacy concerns and big brother in general. I don’t remember if I finished that book, but was on volume 3 I believe of the braille version and it was a good read. You may want to go to NLS to get a copy as well as see about your lending library. Take a look at this article and then check the blog for the other articles and podcast 110 for more on this.
