21.2.2009 Windows Internet Explorer 7 DOWNLOAD
Few days ago at RSA, Bill Gates talked about Internet Explorer 7. As the guy responsible for IE, I wanted to say a couple of things about it.
First, some basics: we’re committing to deliver a new version of Internet Explorer for Windows XP customers. Betas of IE7 will be available this summer. This new release will build on the work we did in Windows XP SP2 and (among other things) go further to defend users from phishing as well as deceptive or malicious software.

Internet Explorer 7 Will Not Be Integrated into Windows
BusinessWeek is reporting that Microsoft's next release of Internet Explorer, version 7, will not be integrated into Windows. Breaking nearly ten years of tradition, Internet Explorer was always very tightly integrated into Windows, allowing users to do such things as launch a website directly from any Windows Explorer window, or save a live web page as the desktop wallpaper.

Along with Beta 1 of Windows Vista, Microsoft has produced not one but two beta versions of Internet Explorer 7--one for Windows XP, and one in the Vista beta. The most exciting (and long overdue) innovation in both is tabbed browsing, which lets you open multiple Web pages in one browser window. You switch between the pages by clicking tabs in the IE 7 window. (The free MSN Search Toolbar adds tabs to IE 6.) Tabs have long been in Opera, and they're an attraction in Mozilla Firefox.

17.5.2009 The History of Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer is 10 years old this year, but its genealogical roots are actually much older. Back when the Internet was first invented (for want of a better word) it was used mainly by universities and research institutions to share documents and information via FTP, Gopher and Usenet. Casual usage as we know it today was a rarity. That, however, was to change as the World Wide Web slowly came into being, thanks to a gentleman by the name of Tim Berners-Lee who not only published the first formal proposal for the World Wide Web, but is also credited with publishing the first Web page on August 6, 1991.

22.6.2007Clean up Those Pesky Temporary Internet Files Using Group Policy Preferences
Derek Melber: One way to improve the protection of desktops and the network is by cleaning up Temporary Internet files. By cleaning up these files,
you can protect the desktop and network from being invaded by malicious files.
I think we are all on the same page when it comes
to understanding the issues that surround the problems that certain files that are obtained from the Internet can cause on a single system and the
entire network. We try every possible configuration, firewall setting, phishing settings, malware, adware, and virus protection to stop these
malicious attacks. Still, the Internet poses a risk that must be protected. One area of Internet Explorer that you can aid in protecting desktops
and the entire network is in the area of cleaning up the Temporary Internet files that are downloaded during user browsing Web pages. By cleaning up
these files, you can help protect the desktop and the network from being invaded by malicious files.

10.07.2008Bill could give Obama control of Internet during emergencies
A new U.S. senate bill has been redrafted to give President Obama the power of control to shut down the Internet in case of emergency situations. The
55-page draft that was obtained by CNET appears to permit the president to seize temporary control over private-sector networks in a cybersecurity
emergency. If the bill is passed, it would allow control to temporary disable Internet traffic in private-sectors. "A Senate source familiar with
the bill compared the president's power to take control of portions of the Internet to what President Bush did when grounding all aircraft on

26.02.2009Internet routing shows growing painsagain
Thanks to the virtualy infinite bandwidth of fiberor rather, the empty tubes that can hold multi-fiber cablesthe Internet has continued to get faster
for almost four decades, with congestion only proving a temporary condition. But now, it's again uncertain if the routers that sit at the ends of
these fibers will be able to keep up with the growth of the Internet.
Most of us take it on faith that if a computer creates an
IP packet and sends it out with the right IP address in the "destination" field, the packet will get delivered to the computer holding that address.
Anyone who's ever used the traceroute program ("tracert" on Windows) can attest to the fact that there are usually a good number of routers between
any source and destination connected by the Internet.

29.04.2008Internet tax ban meets resistance in Senate
Several U.S. senators
questioned whether to extend a
ban on access and other
Internet-only taxes, which
expires on November 1.
Representatives of Verizon and
the National Taxpayer Union
Foundation called on Congress
to make the tax ban permanent,
but several senators said the
current ban could allow
Internet service providers to
package other products with
access and exempt them from
taxes. Three groups
representing state government
officials called for a more
limited, temporary ban.
Several senators said
they would support a temporary
ban on Internet access taxes,
but only if language in the
moratorium is changed to make
clear that states are allowed
to tax services packaged with
access, including music and
movies and IPTV. The original
Internet tax ban, which went
into effect in October 1998,
said that access and
" other services as part of
a package services offered to
consumers " may be exempt
from taxes. The last extension
of the ban, passed in 2004,
removed VoIP from the tax
ban.
Five other
senators introduced a bill,
called the Internet Tax
Freedom Extension Act, that
would extend the ban on
Internet access taxes another
four years while closing the
"loophole" that could allow
other bundled services to be
exempt from taxes. Three bills
introduced this year would
permanently extend the ban on
Internet-only taxes. But other
senators called for the tax
ban to be made permanent. If
the ban expires, consumers in
some U.S. cities could pay up
to an additional 30% and a
permanent ban would help with
Internet service providers'
plans to invest in new
services.

24.05.2007Move to extend Internet tax ban stalls in Senate
An effort by U.S. lawmakers to extend a moratorium on state Internet access taxes has stalled amid a dispute over whether the ban should be permanent
or temporary.
The Senate Commerce Committee canceled a planned vote on a bill on Thursday that would have extended the tax ban
for at least four more years after a possible compromise on the issue fell through.
"I am disappointed that the Commerce
Committee was unable to act on legislation to extend the Internet tax moratorium at today's (meeting)," Commerce Committee Chairman Sen. Daniel
Inouye said in a statement.
Inouye said there would be further discussions to try and reach "a reasonable compromise."..

29.09.2007Mozilla offers temporary fix
for Firefox flaw
Responding to the
disclosure of a serious Web
browser flaw, the Mozilla
Foundation offered on Friday a
temporary fix to protect
Firefox and Mozilla
users.
The
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozi
lla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.6
/patches/307259.xpi]downloadab
le fix protects against
attacks that take advantage of
a new, unpatched flaw that
could let attackers secretly
run malicious software on
users' PCs. The flaw was
disclosed late Thursday by
security researcher Tom
Ferris, sending Mozilla staff
into damage-control
mode.
The problem
has to do with the way the
Firefox and Mozilla browsers
handle International Domain
Names, or IDNs, said Mike
Schroepfer, director of
engineering at Mozilla. IDNs
are domain names that use
local language characters. The
fix disables support for such
Web addresses, he
said.
"This is a
temporary work-around just to
deal with the immediate
issue," Schroepfer said.
"We're working on a future
release in which we will
actually fix the problem and
re-enable the IDN feature."
Switching off IDN support
impacts a subset of Firefox
and Mozilla users who actually
use such special domain names,
he said. ..

pregnancy costs that were charged to the natural parents. Dutch officials state that the couple have broken the laws for adopting children and as
such the baby must be handed over to welfare authorities. The Netherlands courts have asked that the boy be placed into temporary custody until a
