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
When having a favourite browser is a bad thing … No, really, its a bad thing
The MLX ExperienceIn a totally hype driven world, the question of what is the best always comes up. No one wants to admit that their purchase or choice is bad unless they truly have an overly developed learning engine and want to improve the tools that drive their daily habits. I won’t get into smart-phones because that is such a touchy topic that even I cringe when people tell me what they have purchased and how world domination is their ultimate goal with a device that was originally invented to make calls. But, I digress and the only reason I am even writing this blog is because of the fact that sometimes just sometimes you’ll hear someone say “Oh, why are you using browser XYZ. I think that you should be using ABC”. This comment usually comes up when discussing websites visited and the unavoidable peril of the site not working on your favourite browser. The end result? The site sucks or the guys that developed the site must have been drinking the night before it was launched.
CMYK Encoded Images Not Supported Previous to IE 9
Windows ExploredThis mysterious issue arrived to me as an email from another technician. His caller wanted to know why an HTML linked image was not displaying in her Outlook message, instead displaying the red X. When I received the message, I could see the image. The obvious difference was that I was using Outlook 2010 & IE 9. The user and the technician were Outlook 2003 and IE 8. The difference between the two is that Outlook 2003 uses IE to render html content, whereas Outlook 2010 uses Word. Figuring the message content was privy to Outlook 2010, I wanted to open the image link in IE. To get the image link, view the email as raw html by right-clicking an empty portion of the message and selecting View Source. You might need to scroll a bit depending upon how much html formatting there is but you can locate the image link by looking for src= like in the example below or the image extension: I pasted the URL into my browser, where it also displayed. Since it was occurring with both the tech and
Google SVPs discuss YouTube piracy, Chrome marketshare at D10
9to5GoogleTwo Google senior vice presidents appeared on stage at the AllThingsD D10 Conference yesterday to discuss all things YouTube and Chrome with co-host Walt Mossberg. Mossberg asked Google’s ad wizard Susan Wojcicki why the search engine does not find and filter copyrighted material. The topic came in leiu of Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel’s assertions from Wednesday, while at the conference, when he claimed YouTube filtered child pornography, but allowed pirated media content. “The problem is identifying which copyright belongs to who… is very complicated,” said Wojcicki, while mentioning that filtering copyrighted content is not technical, but rather a complicated business issue. “At the end of the day, in order to know what to do with that content, we need to hear from the copyright owner.” During the second-half of the interview, Mossberg asked Chrome’s guru Sundar Pichai about StatCounter’s accuracy in a recent report on Google

Microsoft has more to gain than lose from IE10′s default ‘Do Not Track’ option
VentureBeatMicrosoft’s Internet Explorer 10 web browser will include a default “Do Not Track” feature that allows users to stop advertisers from tracking and collecting their personal data while surfing the net, the company announced late yesterday. Apparently, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Jon Leibowitz wasn’t exaggerating when he said that the DNT feature would be adopted by a significant number of companies online before the end of the year. The DNT feature built into web browsers allows websites to give their visitors the option of having their personal information tracked and collected for ad targeting and marketing purposes. Twitter is one of the first major websites to support the new feature, with Microsoft saying it’ll make its own sites compatible with DNT soon. Internet Explorer (all versions), which accounts for more than 18 percent of global browser usage, is the second web browser to adopt the DNT feature. Mozilla’s Firefox has been testing th

A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly – Microsoft Fix it 50403
dnhomeWhile visiting some websites, your Internet Explorer may report an Error Message – A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly ! If you are facing this issue frequently, you may want to read further! Because some scripts may take an excessive amount of time to run, Internet Explorer prompts the user to decide whether they would like to continue running the slow script. Some tests and benchmarks may use scripts that take a long time to run and may want to increase the amount of time before the message box appears. In Internet Explorer, the script time-out value can be changed on specific client machines by modifying a registry entry. There are situations when a Web page contains script that takes an unusually long time to run. If you are scripting an ActiveX control on a Web page to transfer a very large file or do a large database query, this will often cause a significantly long delay. Internet Explorer 3.02 detects the long delay and prompts the user with a dialo
Browser Wars – Tacky, Lame, Doing It Anyway
insanitybitBrowser Wars – Security Style Browser wars are monthly blogs (typically following the latest release of a browser) that basically pit the latest versions of todays browsers against each other. It’s kinda lame and I feel like a tool for doing it but I’m also really bored and I think browsers in the context of security are awesome. So, let’s start. What Makes A Program Secure? In an ideal world we humans would be perfect and our code would be perfect and vulnerabilities wouldn’t exist. This is not an ideal world and we are not perfect nor is our code. Vulnerabilities do exist and for the foreseeable future this will not change. So what do we do to secure programs if they’ll always be full of holes? We accept that those holes are there and we make it as hard for hackers to make use of them as we can. There are various ways to accomplish this. So What About Browsers? Browsers aren’t typical programs. They’re fast paced, constantly changing, plugin-filled conduits to
Cross-platform worm spreading via Facebook
Informative ReportMalware developers have used Crossrider, a cross-browser extension development framework, to build a click-fraud worm that spreads on Facebook, security researchers from antivirus firm Kaspersky Lab have said. Kaspersky Lab Crossrider is a legitimate Javascript framework that implements a unified API (application programming interface) for building Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer extensions. The API allows developers to write code that will run inside different browsers and, by extension, on different OSes. The framework is still in beta testing and its creators plan on adding support for Safari soon. “It is quite rare to analyze a malicious file written in the form of a cross-platform browser plugin. It is, however, even rarer to come across plugins created using cross-browser engines,” said Kaspersky Lab malware expert Sergey Golovanov in a blog post on Monday. The new piece of malware is called LilyJade and is being sold on underground forums for US$
