Google Chrome - Open SPYWARE
Folks, as much as I admire Google, we need to be careful with what Google is done with their new browser - Chrome.
It is effectively Google "Spy ware" and attempt to take control of the user' PC, oops, I mean "device" in the same with Apple has done with iPhone.
I will have more to say on this, but I believe its time we need to get an organization that will help put a STOP to the rampant unethical practice of installing software that collects, spies and sends info to centralized systems, and also takes control of what you install.
People need to call/contact the FCC, FTC, state senators.
More to come...

NoScript For FireFox
Last month, I discussed the ideas about how to speed up your browser and about Web 2.0 Achilles Heal.
Well, Dianne Marsh gave me this tip about a great FireFox Extension called "NoScript"
This extension is the bomb! Its perfect! It will allow you to safely browse the net in non-javascript mode and it will allow you to selectively turn it on and off for trusted and untrusted sites. It also has auto great "security features." This is a MUST extension for FireFox users!
If anyone tried this NoScript and finds any issues regarding it, post a comment. I would be very interested in hearing what you think.
