Me and problably 90% of you reading this will use facebook, i like facebook in many ways but there is also point about it i dont like.

So the good things, Lets you keep in contact with friends, there games to keep you occupied, its fun.

The bad points:- There interpretation of Data Security and Privacy is about as much user as a chocolate fireguard.

For Example

Facebook does allow people to ‘deactivate’ their accounts. This means that most of their information becomes invisible to other viewers, but it remains on Facebook’s servers – indefinitely

Facebook’s terms and conditions make it clear that you give up just about any rights to anything you post on the site.

While sitting with not much to do today i began thinking about old computer stuff that used to keep us amuased or we used to use a long time ago the first few that flooded into my head were, Supercalc, Word Perfect and Space Invaders on the Spectrum

Supercalc i first use don my mums old 286, it was a very very basic spreadsheet program and it looked like this

Then we have Word Perfect again the first time i used this it was on that same old 286. it look like this

What program do you remember using that if they came up now you would just shake a stick at

Ok so anyone who uses windows and has Internet Explorer as their default browser will have had an update asking them if they want to use an alternative browser.

This has been done as Microsoft lost a court case and have been told to allow users the choice of which browser to use.

What it doe snot tell you is even though lets say you choose Firefox to sue instead, you still need to have internet explorer to do updates. The windows update app on Vista and Windows 7 use the Internet Explorer Engine to do updates and the windows update website itself wont work with any other browser as it runs an ActiveX object which only Internet Explorer can Run

So Microsoft are giving you the choice of which browser to use to surf the web but still force you to us Internet Explorer.
