The..(ahem)… Browser Security Test… (cough)

Posted by Karel Donk on Thursday, December 29th, 2005

While reading an article posted by Mary Jo Foley on Microsoft-Watch, I noticed a link to Bruce Schneier’s blog to a post called “Internet Explorer Sucks”. I was, again, surprised to find out that people still don’t seem to get it.
On his blog, Schneier links to a webpage containing a study on browser security. […]

Galileo, ICANN and Blogs

Posted by Karel Donk on Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

It appears Europe has launched a Galileo satellite yesterday, completing another milestone in the Galileo project.
