randtechI use half a dozen Windows 7 laptops at home, all running IE9 (Internet Explorer 9), which is an awesome browser. (I’ve tried the competition and always came back to IE9.) One problem that surfaced after I started using the much-hated timeline in Facebook was, on some (but not all) of my laptops, IE9 would always freeze when I tried to scroll down the timeline. This problem did not appear to be present in the latest build of Firefox, so I did a little detective work. Eventually, it became clear that it was the GPU driver that was the culprit here, which explains why the problem occurred on some laptops but not the others. (The only IE9 add-ons I keep are the Bing Bar, the Office helper for using Office Web Edition and Adobe’s PDF helper.) Once I followed the following steps to prevent IE9 from using the GPU for rendering pages, the problem was completelly resolved! Here’s how to force IE9 to use its own software rendering engine instead of the GPU: Press F10 to bring
Why I Love/Hate Internet Explorer 9
Tech MantisNo matter what, Internet Explorer drags me back. I’m never totally satisfied with an internet browser. I currently have 5 of them installed on my PC, and I bounce around as little quirks irk me from one to the other. Every time I go back to Internet Explorer I’m impressed at how far it’s come. IE9 is the best yet and introduces features that I love. The only problem is that these features have frustrating limitations, and little things that work great on other browsers are clunky on IE9. The best new feature is the ability to pin favorite sites on the taskbar. In theory this sounds great. There are several sites that I check multiple times a day, and anything that saves me an extra step to get there is welcome. Unfortunately, the pinned sites do not retain your settings. You have to format each one to get whatever menus or customization that you had before you pinned the site. Sure you can reformat it to your hearts content, but why make me go through all tha
Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox Response To ‘Exploit’
insanitybitA recent blogpost showed how Chrome, Internet Explorer 9, and Firefox are all vulnerable to a specific bug that can be used to trick the user into downloading a file when they meant to download something else. the fake flash11_updater.exe download supposedly served from adobe.com is, in reality, supplied by the attacker The bug isn’t really the issue here, though. I mean, it’s definitely useful for social engineering and I can think of a millions ways that I could infect people with this but what I’d like to draw attention to is the response given by the browser vendors. The response to this has apparently been: Chrome: reported March 30 (bug 121259). Fix planned, but no specific date set. Internet Explorer: reported April 1 (case 12372gd). The vendor will not address the issue with a security patch for any current version of MSIE. Firefox: reported March 30 (bug 741050). No commitment to fix at this point I think that says a lot about browser security. None of them

Internet Explorer 9 Covers Your Tracks
Raxco Software BlogInPrivate Browsing – Keep Your Web Activity Under Wraps Internet Explorer 9 (IE 9) has a feature that will allow you to browse in private. This feature prevents anyone who might be using your computer from seeing which websites you have visited and what you have looked at on the web. This feature will configure Internet Explorer not to retain anything that you do within that browsing session. Essentially, it’s covering your tracks. The private browsing protection is only in effect during the time that you use the window. You can open multiple tabs within the same window and it will remain protected. Once the window is closed, the browsing protection is turned off. To enable InPrivate Browsing just press Ctrl+Shift+P or just click the Safety option on the IE 9 toolbar then click the InPrivate Browsing option. You can also configure the InPrivate settings under the same safety tab. There are explanations of the options on the settings window that opens. For more information about InPriva

People Presence indicator issue with IE9 in SharePoint 2010
Joeprakash's BlogPresence Indicator: SharePoint 2010 displays presence indicator of the user when he is signed in to Lync. In XSLT we can just use <xsl:value-of select=”@FieldName” disable-output-escaping=”yes”/> inorder to render the value of people picker entry on the page; provided, the column type is set to ‘Name with presence enabled’. ISSUE: In IE9, this presence indicator does not render due to issues with the internal JS of SharePoint. FIX: We need to override a function to get this fixed. On your master page use the following code snippet to resolve the above rendering issue. <script type=”text/javascript” defer=”defer”> // replace IE Function: var ProcessImnMarkers = function () { ULSxSy:; var i ; for (i = 0; i < imnMarkerBatchSize; ++i) { if(imnCount === imnElemsCount) { return; } IMNRC(imnElems[imnCount].getAttribute(‘sip’),imnElems[imnCount]); imnCount++; } setTimeout(“ProcessImnMarkers()”, i
IE9 is the most standards compliant browser on the market
nathantreschI recently had a discussion with someone about browsers, and during the conversation he asserted that he was quite sure that IE has never been the most standards compliant browser, ever. I understand that previous versions of IE were a real pain in the ass, but that’s not true of newer versions. Specifically, the trident rendering engine in Internet Explorer 9 in 2011 scores highest in the official W3C conformance test suite for CSS 2.1 of all major browsers, according to Wikipedia. So, not only is his statement clearly not true, but the opinion of quite a few people that I’ve heard weigh in regarding IE’s rendering ability is in question. If you’re still not convinced, here is a complete comparison, with the numbers for other browsers included. Going forward, it appears that IE will continue this trend, while FireFox will require that some tests be dropped in order to score 100. Sure, they’re also dropped by the SVG group, but this just means that I
“A more beautiful web is…” by Keith Rivers
When Advertising is ArtRight off the bat: brilliant song choice. The first time I saw this commercial I was simply rocking out at the smooth edits of Iron Man coinciding with the drop of Alex Clare’s flat out jam “Too Close”. This ad will probably turn as many people, if not more, on to Clare as it does Internet Explorer. The narrative’s also a worthy effort, stating what a great web browser is “fast, alive, a story, etc.” considering we don’t think about our browsers too often. Finishing off with trailer-style reviews from reputable reviewers was a nice touch considering all the heat that earlier versions of this browser has taken. Whether ie9 will change the web forever seems a bit wishful.. but one great purpose of advertising, in my mind, is to raise the bar and allow companies to live up to near-impossible expectations. So now it’s on ie9 to show the world what it can do.
Internet Explorer, self signed certificates, shortcuts / pinned sites and the missing “Continue to website”-link phenomenon
0x13Wow, Microsoft did a great job with introducing a new shortcut feature for websites with the extension .website This will bring a lot of enhancements if you are a broser masocist and like to have pain accessing intranet pages with self signed certificates. So the default problem of websites with self signed certificates (admin consoles, switches, storage devices.. you name it) is the annoying popup, warning you to not access the site but rather close your browser. Now, as used-to-microsoft-polemic-messages-admin you just go ahead and install the certificate in the trusted cert store, add the url in the “intranet” zone and drag-and-drop a link to you desktop and BAM.. the link is not working as you thought. What happend? The “Continue to website (Not recommended)” link is missing. So how should you be able to access your trusted internal website with a self-signed cert if there is no option to continue? Have a look into the shortcut you created to your site. Funn
Cannot Download Attachments
Handy ThotsDownloading from websites isn’t a problem, but you find that downloading attachments from your webmail is not possible. After cracking your head over what security settings you may need to change, it’s a relieve to discover that it really is just as simple as this: 1. Go into Internet Explorer—>Open Tools—>Open Internet Option—>Open Advanced Settings 2. Uncheck “Do not save encrypted files to disk” And voila, you can now download, save and open the attachments!
