A recent study done by ScanIT (an Internet security consultancy) has shown that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) has been found to be unsafe 98% of the time. This comes to be as no surprise. The lack of support and seriousness of security by Microsoft has lead IE down the path of a useless browser. I’ve fixed endless systems due to the result of IE. I’m not saying other web browser agents are perfect but it’s the approach to security and designing the web browser agent for the user to have control instead of the application having the control. Who knows the accuracy of this report done by ScanIT but this still proves a point how dangerous IE is. Which ever side you are on the study is an interesting read.

Just as I predicted the cool innovated photo sharing service Flickr has been bought. Unfortunately it has been purchased by Yahoo!. History dictates that every company Yahoo! purchases they ruin it. So far Yahoo! claims they will leave Flickr as is but I find this hard to believe. If we are lucky we might get a year until the awesome service is diminishes to ruble. While it lasts if you have not see the Flickr service check it out and don’t forget to check out the Flickr Postcard Browser. If you are interested you can read further on the acquisition of Flickr by reading the below news articles.

I wanted to tell you about this blog entry I came across because the author Eric Anderson didn’t hold back he told it like it is and told his opinion. It’s nice to see people finally expressing their opinion without holding back. The blog entry talks about this one particular experience with second hand smoke. I’m tired of ignorance of smoking and the facts that can not be disputed. I won’t get into it any further I’ll let Eric Anderson tell it like it is in his blog entry, Second Hand Smoke.
