  Firefox Gets BitTorrent 

  http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3699431

  September 13, 2007 By Sean Michael Kerner BitTorrent is one of the most popular mechanisms for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. For the most part BitTorrent client applications have been standalone tools, ... but now, thanks to open source startup AllPeers, Firefox users can take advantage of BitTorrent inside of their browsers. "With AllPeers you just click on a link for a torrent and it's just like downloading a normal file; you can download it right in the browser," Matthew Gertner, Allpeer CTO, told InternetNews.com . "With a feature called Social BitTorrent, which is totally unique to AllPeers, when I start to download files from a Torrent, I can use the same drag and share feature to share with others. It's the path of least resistance for sharing files." AllPeers has been providing P2P file sharing for over two years already, though until now the company was limited to its own private network for peers. With the BitTorrent capability, the technology has now expanded the number of   [More...] [Less...]

  Featured Talkback I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, ... Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?

  Internet Explorer and Firefox Vulnerability Analysis Report | CSO Blogs

  For most people, their web browser is central to their interaction with the Internet, connecting to global web sites and helping them consume online services providing everything from booking flights to ... banking services to online shopping. This reality makes browsers a key tool when evaluating the security experience of users as the browser interprets Web content and programs delivered from around the world. Over the past few years, there has been much discussion of the need for improvements in browser security, but few hard data studies performed to support assertions concerning the security of available browsers. I've just finished up and posted for download a vulnerability analysis of Internet Explorer and Firefox, including fixed and unfixed vulnerabilities, that covers roughly the past three years since Firefox first released. As usual for these, I want to post one chart as a teaser to get you to go look at the full report. In this case, I'm choosing one that looks at alternative   [More...] [Less...]
