IE10 Will Have 'Do Not Track' On By Default

An anonymous reader writes "As Microsoft released the preview of the next version of its Internet Explorer browser, news that in Windows 8 the browser will be sending a 'Do Not Track' signal to Web sites by default must have shaken online advertising giants. 'Consumers can change this default setting if they choose,' Microsoft noted, but added that this decision reflects their commitment to providing Windows customers an experience that is 'private by default' in an era when so much user data is collected online.' This step will make Internet Explorer 10 the first web browser with DNT on by default. And while the websites are not required to comply with the users' do-not-track request, the DNT initiative — started by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission — is making good progress."

  1. Re:First posty :) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Well first posty are often the best posty, they make the other posty look bad compared to the first posty which is a good thing for first posty considering that the other posty can't compete with the first posty. A lot of posty are made on www.reddit.com everyday, they say the posty originate from www.tblop.com but they really aren't sure because the posty have a mind of their own, they are becoming self aware, the posty are what the world live by today, public opinion is often bias by posty which drill down opinions in humans mind. The posty sure have a large impact on today's society, isn't that what we all care about, the posty instead of the article. Is that a bad thing? Among the posty which one of the posty read article? Can we trust a posty? If not what can be done to really trust the posty if you haven't read the article yourself ? Can you trust a posty you can't verify? Should we make automatic bot that analyze if the posty is related to the articles and if specific words from the article exists in the posty ? Please reddit make a posty bot for slashdot because they really need one. can somebody help the posty cause?
