Opinion With the latest attempt at terrorism on Christmas day everyone is talking about what will happen to them on their next flight. TSA is currently evaluating several changes and I’m sure they’ll be implementing them soon. I found one fellow nerd speaking his mind about the whole situation. You can read his entire rant by following the link below. I will warn you he does get a little carried away with explicits.

Its become fairly commonplace to see Internet Explorer taking yet another small step towards a smaller market share with its browser. While it is still the predominant browser being used out there, the competition in that area is has heated up a bit more with Google’s Chrome Browser who has reciently taken over third place from Safari.
As pointed out by our friends at Endgaget, taking a deeper look at the numbers can reveal some interesting information.
- Google Chrome made the largest gains while most others stayed flat
- IE6 remains the top browser by version.
- By version split, Firefox 3.5 is only about 6% lower than IE 6 or 8.
- No one really uses the built in browser on the PS3 (so much for convergence in that arena)
Its no surprise to anyone really that the browser which comes packaged with the operating system that has the largest market share would also have the highest share, but this is sure to be good news to Google with its upcoming launch of the G1, rumors of a Google tablet surfacing and the attention Android is getting from everyone.

Nerdy Stuff Little known music label Blue Destiny Records has filed suit against both Microsoft and Google for allegedly not removing links that violate their copyright. The label states that both giant companies ”facilitated and enabled” the illegal distrobution of copyright material.
Microsoft has removed such links from Bing, their popular search engine, but is still not fully compliant. Google however is said to be still linking to their material. I find it interesting that it takes a law suit to get the attention of companies like Microsoft and Google.

The National Security Agency (NSA) worked with Microsoft on the development of Windows 7, an agency official acknowledged this week during testimony before Congress.
Privacy experts say the NSA could build backdoors that enable tracking users and intercepting communications, but security researchers dismiss the idea.
