Microsoft is implementing new privacy tools in Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) that insiders are calling "porn mode." "Porn mode," which will debut in IE8 Beta 2 this month, consists of three tools, one of which is called InPrivate Browsing and allows you to browse without IE8 saving your browsing and searching history, cookies, form data and passwords. It also automatically clears the browser cache at the end of your session. Niiiiice.

DETROIT: Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles are still 15 years away from becoming a viable business for automakers even if they overcome remaining technical hurdles and the U.S. government provides massive subsidies, a government-funded report said on Thursday. Under a best-case scenario, automakers will only be able to sell about 2 million electric vehicles powered by fuel cells by 2020, according to the study by the National Research Council. That would mean that less than 1 per cent of the vehicles on US roads by that date would be powered by fuel cells. In 2003, President George W.

At that time, Bush said the first cars driven by American children born in that year and reaching driving age by 2020 could be fuel cell vehicles. |

Recently, a leading UK business website revealed that they now have to spend over 25% of their online search marketing budget to cater for misspelt words, hinting towards a worrying trend in today’s society and suggesting we may have become too reliant upon technology, while our language skills suffer as a result. With over 50% of English school leavers failing to grasp even the most basic levels of spelling and grammar there is an argument for closer monitoring on the country’s education system and how technology is impacting upon the country’s young minds. Perhaps the finest example of how the English language is being “dumbed down” can be seen through the ever popular SMS messaging service where there is a tendency to use abbreviated or phonetically spelt words to increase the speed of communication. |

If you are already used to phoning people via your computer then you will already be thinking of the days of paid telephone calls as being a thing of the past. The big advantage of getting in touch with people in this way is that you can chat with friends or relatives who live in other countries for as long as you like without having to pay anything for the privilege. Making calls via your internet connection is certainly a huge benefit, but just imagine the possibilities when you can see the person you are talking to as well. The addition of this extra dimension to any internet phone call can turn it into an experience worth remembering for a long time. |
