TECH giant Microsoft’s security chief has said its Internet Explorer should not be used as a main web browser. Worldwide head of cyber-security Chris Jackson said the classic program was outdated. Mr Jackson said developers no longer test their work in it, instead using more modern browsers — leading to problems for people who use it. Some firms still rely on IE because their websites, built in its heyday, use the deep programming behind it. And Mr Jackson said that while many sites still “work fine” in IE, it was really now just a “compatibility solution”. He warned users: “We want you to use IE for sites that need it — I hope you don’t use it for everything else.” IE once held 95 per cent of the market as it came with Windows computers.

Facebook given kicking by German watchdog for hoarding people’s data – and it could cost the tech titan £78MILLION
FACEBOOK has been told to stop hoarding people's data by a major antitrust regulator in Germany. The country's Federal Cartel Office (FCO) has now banned the scandal-hit firm from flagrantly sharing information across its various apps, including WhatsApp and Instagram. The dramatic move threatens Facebook's entire business model, which relies on data sharing to make its billions through seedy online advertising. Speaking to press after the ruling, Andreas Mundt, head of the FCO, said it had taken a big step in the direction of breaking up tech monopolies. "People always ask to break up huge internet companies ... Well what we do here today is really something like internally breaking them up," he said. Facebook has 32 million monthly users in Germany. As it does in other countries, the company combines users' data from various sources to create a huge archive. That includes information from WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook itself, as well as third party firms that have "like" or … [Read more...] about Facebook given kicking by German watchdog for hoarding people’s data – and it could cost the tech titan £78MILLION

Ralph Breaks The Internet Review: Never Read The Comments
The internet is a lot of things to many different people. It can be a way to keep up with friends, a professional workspace, a battleground, or a powerful tool for harassment. For Vanellope, the glitchy star of the arcade kart racer Sugar Rush, it represents unlimited possibilities, the potential for evolution and change--an escape from monotony. That same monotony is what keeps Wreck-it Ralph, the lovable bad guy of the game Fix-it Felix, on the path of goodness. And for him, the internet is a frightening frontier that draws his most villainous characteristics to the forefront.In that respect, Ralph Breaks the Internet, the sequel to 2011's Wreck-it Ralph, rings true: The internet brings out the worst in some people.
