  4. Translation on Google Chrome Spinoff 'Iron' For Privacy Fanatics · · Score: 4, Informative

    I only speak a little German. So here is a bery bad translation via babelfish:

    SRWare Iron: The browser of the future - based on the free source text " Chromium" - without doubts with the data protection and security Googles Web browser chrome inspires with an extremely fast structure of web page, a slim Design and imaginative functions. The data-security commissioners practice however also criticism, approximately because of the production of a clear user ID or the transmission from inputs google for the generation of search proposals. SRWare Iron is a genuine alternative. The browser basedly on the Chromium source text and offers so the same basic functions as chrome - however without the criticized points, which concern the data protection. We could provide from there a browser, with which you can use immediately the innovative features, without having to think about the keeping of your privacy. We would like to leave and place our users at our work sharings the browser free of charge to the download under the name " SRWare Iron" in the net. What makes Iron concretely differently than chrome? Read here.

  5. Beta Interfere On on Has Google Redefined Beta? · · Score: 1

    Google spokesman

    We believe beta has a different meaning when applied to applications on the Web, where people expect continual improvements in a product.

    I have to say, I tend to agree. An application that is actually used online, rather then downloaded and used on the desktop, is much easier to apply micro-updates to. Users don't have to downlaod new files, they just use the site as normal and it might look slightly different.

    In fact, google not only micro-update their site on a per-feature basis, they can update it on a per-user basis and test different layouts/functionality across different demographics. So, infact The google I see can be different from yours and different from the last time I logged in. I have noticed this recently with google docs.

    I have to say, I much prefer a logo that says "Google beta" than "Google 0.95.275.367265.A1X".

  10. Honesty on 10 Percent of Colleges Check Applicants' Social Profiles · · Score: 1

    I would much rather that a college applicant/prospective employee/political candidate was honest about having a beer underage than be dishonest.

    Let's face it, very few people haven't had alcohol underage. What else is someone hiding if they are dishonest.

    Erm, considering that national boundaries extend 12 miles from the mainland, that's hardly international.

  23. Re:So I'm guessing the hackers read /. on Greek Hackers Target CERN's LHC · · Score: 1

    The whole point of the internet is to allow people access.

    The whole CERN experiment involves over 10,000 scientists from institutions in over 100 countries.

    The sysadmins should be making it secure. It's typical of all IT departments I've been involved with. They try to stop access rather than making access secure.

    No access may well be secure. But then no-one can do there jobs.
