The next version of Microsoft Corp,Web browser makes it easier for people to surf the Internet without leaving a trace.
Companies that sell advertisements online – including Microsoft – can electronically gather tidbits about Web surfers’ habits, and then use that information to help decide what kinds of ads to show. However, in the newest “beta” test version of Microsoft’s forthcoming Internet Explorer 8, which was made available Wednesday, a mode called InPrivateBrowsing lets users surf without having a list of sites they visit get stored on their computers.
The program also covers other footprints, including temporary Internet files and cookies, the small data files that Web sites put on visitors’ computers to track their activities.
Both IE7, Microsoft’s current browser, and Mozilla’s recently released Firefox 3, already allow users to block cookies. The top two browsers also let users delete private information such as temporary files and browsing history after the fact. But they can’t turn off that collection entirely.The beta also introduces an additional InPrivateBlocking mode, which can block third-party content from appearing on Web sites. For example, a news site might carry stock quotes from one company and weather information from another. Companies that provide such content may also be collecting and sharing information about what people do online. But users who turn on InPrivateBlocking won’t see that content or be exposed to such data collection without their consent.
InPrivateBlocking can also keep some types of ads from appearing – including those served up by Microsoft’s own advertising platform, whose success is considered critical to the software maker’s future.
JJ Richards, a general manager in Microsoft’s advertising division, responded in a statement that consumers understand that they get free content and services in exchange for advertising, but want “transparency, trust and control with respect to the sites they visit.”
“If IE8 helps heighten awareness of this value exchange, that’s a step in the right direction,” he said.
Users surfing with InPrivateBlocking turned on can review a list of which companies are trying to display or collect data. Users also can click a link to read more and decide case by case whether to permit certain ones to go ahead.
“Today as a user, we have no visibility or control over how that information is shared and recorded,” said James Pratt, a product manager for IE8. “I wouldn’t put Microsoft as being the arbiter of what should and shouldn’t be tracked.”
InPrivateBlocking isn’t purely an ad-blocker by design, but publishers are still worried, said Mike Zaneis, vice president of public policy for the Internet Advertising Bureau, which represents Web publishers.
If InPrivateBlocking were widely adopted by IE8 users, small sites that rely almost exclusively on outside companies to serve ads couldn’t survive, he said. The Internet ad economy didn’t crash after ad-blocking plug-ins appeared for Firefox, but Zaneis said that may have more to do with Firefox’s much smaller market share. (Firefox’s challenge to IE has grown, however; the browser is used by more than 10 percent of Web surfers.)
If IE8 blocks programs that track how many times an ad is seen – a calculation that helps determine payments to advertisers and publishers – that could also bring down the Web ad marketplace, Zaneis noted.
“We’ll wait and see what the marketplace looks like,” he said. “I think (Microsoft) realizes, we all realize that it’s a beta version, and it’s sure to change before it’s finalized.”
An earlier IE8 beta showed off many bells and whistles that make Web browsing easier. Since then, Microsoft said it also improved the address bar’s ability to figure out users’ intended Web destination as they type.
An improved search box also provides more content alongside suggested results. For example, an Amazon.com search for an music album, entered in the browser toolbar, populates a drop-down menu with titles, prices and thumbnails of cover art.
Microsoft would not say when it plans to release a final version of the newest browser, but said this second beta is ready for average users to try.

With thousands of hackers milling around the Black Hat convention here, and widespread snooping on the public Wi-Fi network, one place was supposed to be off limits: the press room.
But in a case of reporters spying on other reporters, three journalists working for the French publication Global Security Magazine were booted Thursday from the hackers’ conference after they were allegedly caught hacking into the private computer network set up for the media.
The French journalists captured what they claimed were usernames and passwords of reporters from at least two media outlets — eWeek and CNET News. The eWeek reporter told organizers his login credentials looked like they were legitimate, while the CNET information appeared to be bogus.
Black Hat attendees are warned that the conference’s public wireless network is being monitored by hackers. People who send sensitive personal data over it are cautioned they might have that information posted on the Wall of Sheep, a forum to embarrass security professionals who don’t follow proper security procedures themselves.
The separate, wired Internet connections set up for reporters are supposed to be off-limits to hacking and the Wall of Sheep. Even so reporters who didn’t take the extra step and log onto the Internet through an additional secure connection like a virtual private network, risked having their data exposed to colleagues sitting just feet away.
It didn’t appear to be a complicated hack.
The network was working properly, but it wasn’t set up to shield each journalist’s computer from one another. The French journalists — identified by organizers as Dominique Jouniot, Marc Brami, Mauro Israel — apparently set up their own server to siphon off traffic passing through the media room’s central router.
Brami is listed on the magazine’s Web site as director of parent company S.I.M. Publicite, while Jouniot and Israel are on the “scientific committee.”
Brami said in an interview with The Associated Press that Israel was responsible for the hack and that he and Jouniot didn’t know about it.
“I can’t explain why he’d do that,” Brami said. “He thinks it’s some kind of game for him. I’m very angry with him. I’ve had a partnership with Black Hat for three years.”
The magazine has been one of Black Hat’s sponsors. Organizers said that because of Thursday’s incident, that partnership is over.
E-mails from The Associated Press to Jouniot and Israel were not immediately returned Thursday night.
“The design of the network was to isolate it from the rest of the public network — it’s not designed to isolate it from one computer in the press room to another computer in the press room,” said Dominique Brezinski, Black Hat’s technical director. “They took advantage of that.”
Organizers said the trio was caught when they took their purloined password prizes to Wall of Sheep workers and asked them to post the information. The workers refused. When questioned, one of the French journalists said he was trying to “educate the press” about the importance of sending data securely, organizers said.
Kurt Opsahl, senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said his organization is investigating whether Black Hat organizers can take legal action against the French journalists. He said the breach may have even broken criminal laws.
The EFF is a civil liberties group focused on free speech and privacy on the Internet and often takes up journalists’ legal cases.
“There are lots of notices that the Wi-Fi network is a hostile network and is actively being monitored,” he said. “People are aware that it’s going on. The important distinction is what the expectations are (in the media room).”
Dan Kaminsky said that the systemic Internet Domain Name System (DNS) vulnerability he discovered some months ago is much more dangerous than most have appreciated.
“Every network is at risk,” Kaminsky told the overflow crowd gathered for his presentation. “That’s what this flaw has shown.” He said that what little he’d initially revealed about the DNS vulnerability, and the later leak of more details about it, was only the tip of an iceberg that he called the worst Internet security risk to surface since 1997.
The initial worry has been the danger that hackers could exploit the DNS cache poisoning vulnerability that Kaminsky found to hijack web browsers and route unsuspecting wibblers to malicious websites harboring phishing or malware attacks.
However, because the problem exists in the distributed map that forms the very underlying structure of the Internet, that was only the most obvious of many possible attacks.
Besides hijacking web browsers, hackers might attack many other applications, protocols and services, including email services and spam filters, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and other data transmission protocols such as Rsync and BitTorrent, Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH) remote login services, as well as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) services that supposedly secure online banking, retail sales, auctions — indeed nearly all online financial transactions.
Automatic software upgrade services such as are used by Microsoft and Apple could also be compromised, potentially letting hackers gull unwitting users into installing malicious software masquerading as authentic updates.
“There are a ton of different paths that lead to doom,” Kaminsky said, telling attendees he knows at least fifteen ways to maliciously exploit the DNS flaw.
He predicted that, as more researchers study the flaw, more potential avenues of attack are likely to tip up. Kaminsky said that ultimately it’s not a question of which systems can be attacked by exploiting the flaw, but rather which ones cannot.
In a press conference following his presentation, Kaminsky indicated that the possibility of hacking DNS services leads to a domino effect. “I maybe had time [to look at] four or five dominos,” he said. “It just gets worse.”
WASHINGTON – Approval of a merger of the nation’s only two satellite radio companies was imminent Thursday after the pair agreed to pay $19.7 million to settle charges they violated federal rules.
Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.’s proposed $3.6 billion buyout of rival XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. has been before the Federal Communications Commission for 16 months.
The five-member commission is deadlocked at 2-2, but Republican Deborah Taylor Tate was expected to cast the deciding vote approving the deal once a consent decree outlining the enforcement action is circulated for a vote.
“This was an issue that Commissioner Tate thought was important for us to deal with prior to her supporting the merger,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said Thursday. “I think that this was a significant issue that we can take off the table that I think will allow us to move forward soon on finishing up the merger.”
Tate had apparently sought a fine of $8 million, according to FCC officials who asked not to be named because the deal was not yet final.
Martin said the agency reached an agreement late Wednesday night where XM will pay $17.5 million and Sirius will pay $2.2 million to resolve interference complaints and violations related to land-based signal repeaters operated by the companies. Martin said XM’s penalty was greater because the company’s offense was more egregious. He said that XM had operated more than 300 repeaters that were in violation of FCC rules.
And even more significantly,” Martin said, “XM had continued to operate their repeaters without authority when they were in violation.”
The agency was free to pursue the enforcement action against the companies outside of the merger process, but Tate apparently wanted the matter settled before approval. Tate has not responded to requests for comment.
The Justice Department approved the deal in March without conditions, saying the companies don’t really compete because customers must buy equipment that is exclusive to either XM or Sirius, and subscribers rarely switch providers.
DOJ also agreed with the companies’ argument that they compete with other forms of audio entertainment, including digital radio, Internet-based radio stations and even devices like Apple Inc.’s iPod.
FCC approval faced a steeper climb because the companies were prohibited from combining under terms of their licenses. The agency struggled to come up with a way to show that allowing a satellite radio monopoly was in the public interest.
The companies voluntarily agreed to a set of conditions, including a three-year price cap and an 8 percent set-aside of “full-time audio channels” for public interest and minority programming. They will also adopt an “open radio” standard that may lead to a greater variety of features in radios and greater competition among manufacturers.
Sirius and XM also have promised to include a limited “a la carte” offering that would be available within three months of the close of the deal and allow listeners to pay only for the channels they want to receive.
The vote on the buyout will apparently be split along party lines. Democratic commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein have both voted against the merger while Martin and fellow Republican commissioner Robert McDowell have voted in favor.
Adelstein had sought further concessions from the company but withdrew his offer on Wednesday after it failed to draw support.
The two companies have a combined subscriber base of more than 18 million, according to the most recent figures. XM is based in Washington DC while Sirius is in New York City.
Under the buyout, XM shareholders will receive 4.6 shares of Sirius stock for every share of XM stock. Shares of Sirius stock fell 26 cents or nearly 10 percent Thursday, dropping the value of the deal to $3.6 billion.
GPS devices do a decent job at getting us from point A to point B, but they don’t always take the fastest route if you consider traffic, speed limits, school zones, roundabouts, etc. The best way to avoid these delays is with the experience that comes traveling a route frequently. With Tom tom’s IQ Routes technology, the GO 930 uses anonymous information collected from million of Tom Tom users to calculate the fastest route, talking into consideration these types of obstructions. You can opt in or out of sharing this anonymous statistical data using the Tom Tom home software. While testing the device chose a different route depending on the time of day. Although I’m not terribly familiar with area, the GO 930 offered an acceptable route that avoided bumper-to bumper traffic in many cases. That alone was enough to make me happy. IQ routes isn’t the only innovation in the GO 930. It also has advanced lane Guidance, which displays a graphical view of the lanes of traffic. With an arrow to tell me which lane I need to be in to catch an exit. Another unique feature, Tom Tom’s Map Share, provides up to date map information from the Tom Tom user community. After enabling Map Share, you can select the level updates you felt comfortable with, ranging from all updates you’ve made to only those verified by Tom Tom. If you notice an error while driving, you can press the Report button and enter the details when you’re not driving. As you can see. The GO 930 is packed with features, including an integrated microphone and speaker that let me use the device for hands free calling with my Bluetooth phone. Using this hardware, I was also able to dictate address instead of entering the via the touch screen.

In just three days, Apple sold one million 3G iPhones after its launch in the United States, Hong Kong and 20 other countries, the company said today. The Cupertino company also said more than 10 million applications were downloaded from its newly opened App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch. Independent developers have created mobile applications that range from games to location-based social networking. More than 800 applications are available through the App Store. More than 200 are free and those for sale cost less than $10.
On Friday, iPhone consumers, including some who waited outside Apple stores overnight, were frustrated when the company’s iTunes server was overwhelmed by a global crush of simultaneous requests from new iPhone users and those updating the software for the older version of the iPhone and the iPod touch. The over-burdened system prevented some phones from immediately being fully activated.
