Submission + - Microsoft Lashes Out at Google for Chrome Frame (earthweb.com)

darthcamaro writes: Google's Chrome Frame went stable this week — offering users of IE 6 a lifeline to HTML5 and the modern web. Microsoft however isn't impressed with Chrome Frame and somehow things it will actually make IE even less secure than it already is.

"Given the security issues with plug-ins in general and Google Chrome in particular, Google Chrome Frame running as a plug-in has doubled the attach area for malware and malicious scripts," Microsoft said. "This is not a risk we would recommend our friends and families take."

Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency 840

tcd004 writes "At a conference on digital media at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI attacked the idea of transparency in the Internet age, warning that digital transparency exacerbates tensions between nations and within nations themselves and increases the 'dangers of ... intellectual and moral relativism,' which can lead to 'multiple forms of degradation and humiliation' of the essence of a person, and to the 'pollution of the spirit.' All in all, it seemed a pretty grim view of the wide-open communication environment being demanded by the Internet age."
