To put you on track with my opinions on Facebook: I feel no desire to use it, it's a self maintaining address book for me. Now, I'm really wondering what gives Germany the right to say Facebook should allow nicknames, since when is it a users right to use Facebook by law? Is there a facebook.de? hosted in germany for germans? I dont think so. you use Facebook on free will on terms they define... you don't like it, go somewhere else!

If these users don't already by default black plug-ins from running, but then again I would think those are the users that do not click random links

only if he was talking about 4x4GB dimms!

Try this out: Tutle Programming Game its designed with jong age in mind

A great initiative it is indeed,
but what about all of us that do not have consistent time to spend on a course even though we would love to follow it. even if that means not receiving the note from the teacher to say you passed this course in such and so way... still being allowed to take the exams for your own interest, I know for a fact that I don't have 8 hours a week for homework, but could sqeez out 3 maybe 4 if I push it (and of course there will be the occasional week-end 8 hour marathon run), these courses could as a next step be provided as open lectures without time limitation?

Even Better...
I in many searches can find what I need from google's brief content summary, like e.g. phone numbers, exchange rates, in rare cases calculator results, etc...
Which would make this research completely useless, if you find what you need on the search page, why click to go into the website...

still the Prius still uses more fuel then the polo Bluemotion, a 100% fossil fuel car, so this car has just been marketed `green`?!...

You mean iHate?

I'm sure as we go further into the age of technology this number will rise

Malware will always go where to biggest market share is... Apple won't be safe from it, antho I think (unsure) they have a much stricter app approval process?

There is something like Social Engineering? The link would simply be update.myfancyapname03.ru It would still catch out plenty of people i'm sure.

Yes because you can always include something like

This is not true, The secondary attack was just resetting passwords from users that did not reset their password yet, made possible by the data stolen (email & date of birth) from PSN hack earlier. I saw this comming the second I read sony would force every user to change their password on first logon.

Revolution needs to start somewhere, If we (web developers) don't do anything about it, it will never change. I was able to convince my employer to drop support for IE6&7 , and I urge every developer out there to do the same. I'm convinced that if you show a message to the user saying you dropped support due to lack of security and capabilities and present them with another browser that will improve their experience (even if that is IE9) & this being done collectively we can finally rid this world of IE6. Oh and I believe examples should be taken from Chrome on their update behaviour, it would solve many malware/virus/etc... issues, most users don't like updating their browser+plugins when they start up their browser! when I start it up that means I need information, not an update so I close the update screen and maybe i'll do it a bit later already leaving me exposed for the time being...
