Is Google Watching You? New Plugin Will Let You Know [APPS]



Another rad browser plugin called Google Alarm hit the Internets this week, which alerts you every time your personal info is sent to Google’s servers. How

…t this something we try not to think about? We know it’s happening and we (or most) try to keep it clean just because anything posted on the internet is fair game even if you delete it. Those that don’t play with caution may find themselves burned. The smart thing…watch what you post and what information you offer up… BostonDave”I always feel like. Google is watching me”(obscure 80s music reference) insidmalIf anyone gets this and is “surprised” by how many times it goes off, then you don’t know the internet very well :-) MarkMashable uses two Google Analytics databases, does that mean two the alarms?BTW.. I’ve been using Analytics Helper Chrome plugin which detects if Google Analytics script is installed on the current page, no more no less.https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hfi… MarkMashable uses two Google Analytics databases, does that mean twice the alarm?BTW..

Firefox Tab Candy: Simple, Yet ConvenientWritten by Vygantas Lipskas on July 27, 2010Aza Raskin has shared a Tab Candy concept for Firefox web browser, which essentially is as a hybrid of tab thumbnails and Fences.
Here is how it works:
While viewing all the tabs as small thumbnails, you group the tabs in categories, for example: work, home. While surfing work per say, you will only see tabs that are in this category.
Video demo:

Designing and Testing for Multiple Browsers

The easiest way to ensure cross-browser compatibility is to code according to W3C standards. A number of issues to consider when designing for multiple browsers.

…Testing for Multiple Browsers
In the past decade, the web browser landscape has changed dramatically. At the end of the browser wars (Netscape vs Microsoft Internet Explorer), Microsoft was victorious, and Netscape seemed to lay floundering with no hope for recovery.
After Netscape’s quiet descent into the open source world, releasing Mozilla, and its eventual resurgence with Mozilla Firefox, developers who had become lazy, coding only for Internet Explorer (IE), were faced with a new dilemma.
Microsoft ending support for its IE version for Macs also helped to usher in a new browser from Apple: Safari. Add Opera and now Google Chrome, and the chance that coding for one browser and actually having your site look the way you intended on all the others, becomes very slim.
Browser market share aside, it is just part of web design best practices to make sure your website can reach as wide of an audience as possible. That means developing sites that work on desktop browsers, tablets, netbooks, screen readers, and…

Major Flaw Found in Apple’s Safari Browser

Unfortunately, Apple didn’t appear to realize that it was necessary to screen what it allows to access this data. Security researchers revealed that a simple web form can grab much of this data - first name, last name, work place, city, state, and email address — no questions asked.

…security, as it is not possible to compare the vendors based on number of vulnerabilities alone. Apple’s supporters were quick to attack the report. AppleInsider writes:Not all vulnerabilities are equal: Secunia outlines five levels of criticality ranging from minor not critical issues to extremely critical problems that can result in remote exploits without any interaction from the user, and for which active exploits are already known to exist. Yet Secunia’s vulnerability report totals throw all these various types of flaws together into sums that are frequently used for meaningless comparison purposes.It’s ironic that almost simultaneous to the report another significant security flaw in Safari aired. Safari Apple’s browser software has oft seen releases so buggy to the point that they were unusable. Safari 5 certainly offered some improvements in that department, but it apparently doesn’t fair particularly better in the security department than past releases, including Safari 4 which had a flaw so severe…
