A do-not-track-me browser

2010-11-30
it's Tuesday November 30th I'm Natali Morris and it's time to get loaded Mozilla is considering building a Do Not Track feature into the Firefox browser this would be a code built into the browser that broadcasts a message to advertising companies and tracking companies telling them that it is not okay to follow you around the web in order to learn your habits the Federal Trade Commission is also expected to promote an industry-wide standard to do the very same thing News Corp is open to the possibility of selling off myspace it's no secret that the social networking site has been a disappointment to News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch it was recently relaunched as an entertainment site but that has not seemed to be any saving grace News Corp is looking to either sell it off or explore a partnership Panasonic is still working on its portable gaming system the company is said to be in testing stages for the portable device that they call the jungle the system would compete with the likes of the PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS we don't have any indication of price or release date yet AT&T u-verse customers can now access HBO and cinemax online if they subscribe to those channels that means if you have a cable subscription that includes those channels you could watch the content from those channels online with your AT&T u-verse log in HBO and cinemax hope that this streaming service will compete with the netflix watch instantly service speaking of competing with Netflix Microsoft is keen on that idea to the company is reportedly interested in offering a paid TV subscription service through Xbox Live reuters has reported that Microsoft is in licensing discussions with certain TV networks maybe the licensing people at Google TV should pay attention and finally if you see a facebook application that offers to track who is viewing your profile do not get excited it is a scam research firm sophos has confirmed that this application is not founded so if you see an email that says something like this OMG i can't believe this actually works now you really can see who viewed your profile ! do not click this application it leads to malware those are your headlines for today see you tomorrow I'm Natali Morris for cnet.com and you've just been loaded
