South Korea Begins To Deprecate ActiveX
jones_supa writes The reliance on proprietary technologies to deliver web services varies from country to country. South Korea's ActiveX problem has been in the news before. Yonhap brings us a short report that the government plans to finally start cleaning up this troublesome technology from public websites later this month, as Korea gears up to create a more friendly Internet environment. The country's online financial websites and shopping malls often use ActiveX to have their payments and identification programs securely downloaded to users' personal computers.
In the 80's, before China opened up, everything was 'made in korea'. Korea's huge industrial success was what lead, in part, to China's economical thaw.
