i don’t usually talk about geeky stuff on here aside from cool tech toys, but the new internet explorer vulnerability is pretty cool. for example, microsoft is now forwarding to my website (check the address bar after you click on the link). while it may not seem that useful to you, think about what would happen if the reverse was true. if the address bar said the url of your banking instituition and my page looked exactly like your bank’s page, i could steal your bank card # and password and whatever else before you realize something seemed wrong with their site. basically you’re not safe clicking any links at all! alternatively, you could just disable javascript, but that would break a lot of sites.
