IE7 did it again

on Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

It’s a big surprise for me to see Google Adsense is not working on IE7.
It’s because IE7 is blocking third party javascripts. It’s really a matter of Microsoft to decide to block Google.
Maybe Google Adsense will re-write the Adsense code to show it as a local javascript not to loose their 2 billion share in the pay per click scene.
And this will affect other ad programs like chitika, clicksor or else.
Say goodbye to your javascript ads if this feature on IE7 becomes official.
However it’s only in Micro$oft’s hand to do an exception for certain javascripts to run cross domain, but I don’t guess they will do that favour to Google any soon.

More on IE 7

on Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

It’s been a while not hearing something new about IE7.
I kind of wait for the RC stage. Until then I decided not to install it. At least without a VMWare.
Think about it, even release versions are buggy in M$ world, I can’t stand the bugs on betas too.

If you are interested here is the new “flashy” intro and download for IE7

XML User Interface Language (XUL) is one of the not wellknown treasures of the browsers who understands it. e.g.: Firefox.
Google recenty did an XUL interface. Looks pretty nice. Worths checking it with Firefox and view the source.

Roboform

Hello,
this time I’ll tell you about RoboForm.
Roboform is a tool that fills all the forms in a webpage for you.
It’s very simple to use. I use it everyday.
Simply install it on your USB drive (no install needed). Boom. You’ve passwords everywhere you go.
It encrypts your saved passwords with 3-DES or 1-DES (you select). So there is no problem if you loose you USB key.

It also has a desktop version too…
