Near future policies of microsoft about plugins

2006-08-07T03:30:57Z

Hi all:

I've been observing the following consequence of 5,838,906 this year in
microsoft internet explorer browser:

1) Interaction denial, Manteninace of in-document embedding of certain
ActiveX controls. (Activated: February,Feb /March 2006 ) ->
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-plugins/2006Feb/0000.html

Are we near a embedding denial? (so only external application opening?).

web plugins for blogs

2006-04-30T11:11:43Z

http://www.blogchalking.com
“Blog chalking" apparently uses this technique to map the blogosphere
to terrestrial geography. Basically, you enter geographical and
demographic information into the Code generator. It spits out a string which is encoded in an HTML tag that you put on your web page. You can then Google the string to find other blogs whose authors have similar geographic and demographic characteristics. So I could find out who has a blog in my town, for example. The Blog Chalk people claim that doing this also raises your profile in the search engines, though I have yet to find an explanation of why this is so.

Simply load your movie externally instead of embedding it in-line like
you used to, some simple javascript works well:

in your xhtml:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/intro1.js"></script>

intro1.js:
document.write('<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="intro1.swf" height="62" width="672"><param name="movie"
value="intro1.swf" /><img alt="" src="images/intro1.gif" height="62"
width="672" /></object>')

More ways from Microsoft:

MSN web plugin - Dynamic Service Helps Protect Against Fraudulent Websites and Personal Data Theft

2006-03-31T12:06:22Z

hi
new free public web plugins from Microsoft:

Phishing (pronounced "Fishing") is one of the fastest growing threats on the Internet and a form of identity theft. It refers to high-tech scams using phony web sites with actual brands designed to steal valuable personal information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, and Social Security numbers.

Phishers use many tactics including creating and sending links to fraudulent Web sites or e-mail messages that appear to be valid in an attempt to fool you into submitting personal, financial, and password information.

Often an e-mail will be sent containing a link taking you to a fraudulent Web site appearing to be valid (like your bank or mortgage company) so that you'll enter your personal information. By using well-known, trusted brand names and logos, phishers are able to convince you to respond to them.

The Phishing Filter Add-in offers access to a new dynamic online service, updated several times an hour to warn you and help protect your personal information from these fraudulent websites by:

Scanning websites you visit and warning you if they are potentially suspicious.
Dynamically checking the web sites you visit with up to the hour online information via an online service run by Microsoft and blocking you from sharing personal information if a site is a known phishing website.

Re: Microsoft issues IE update to get around the Eolas patent

2006-03-01T07:13:44Z

Hmm. Released today but apparently as an optional update -- not part of
Express Install. If my experience is the common one, how likely is this to
spread throughout the user-base, and will it be automatically activated in
OEM installs?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945

Microsoft is releasing a software update to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.

Adobe Reader
Apple QuickTime Player
Macromedia Flash
Microsoft Windows Media Player
Real Networks RealPlayer
Sun Java Virtual Machine

After you install this update, you cannot interact with ActiveX controls from certain Web pages until these controls are enabled. To enable an ActiveX control, manually click the control. There are also techniques that Web developers can use to update their Web pages. For more information about these techniques, visit the following MSDN Web site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate (http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate)

As part of this Internet Explorer update, Microsoft will release updates to the current versions of Windows XP and of Windows Server 2003. All client operating systems will be updated. These client operating systems include the following:

•	Windows XP Starter Edition
•	Windows XP Home Edition

Additionally, updates for earlier versions of Internet Explorer will be released as part of the monthly security update packages.

Sun's Solaris 10 OS & Java Studio Creator 2

2006-01-31T10:19:23Z

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNW) today announced that eWeek Labs selected the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) and Java Studio Creator 2 as two of the "Top Products of 2005" in a December 19, 2005 article. Solaris 10, the most advanced operating system on the planet, has also recently been recognized by other IT publications, such as InfoWorld and InternetNews.com.

Since its release in January 2005, the Solaris 10 OS has set 49 world performance benchmarks and granted more than 3.6 million registered licenses. The software is also available as open source code through the OpenSolaris project community. This open development has contributed to Solaris 10 support on more than 500 SPARC(R), x64 and x86 platforms from vendors as diverse as Sun, Dell, HP and IBM. Many publications, customers and partners have recognized the innovative new operating system, Solaris 10, and its key features such as Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) and Solaris Containers, which Jason Brooks of eWeek calls, "the system's extremely cool...quasi-virtualiziation functionality."

Brooks also points out that with the Solaris 10 OS, "Sun smartly re-embraces the x86 architecture, thereby making the operating system relevant for mainstream servers and workstations. What's more, Sun has madeSolaris 10 freely available, with for-pay services available as an option--a shot across the bow of Red Hat, which requires service subscriptions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux whether you require them or not." Solaris 10 is available as a free download. Customers can purchase competitively priced support contracts for Solaris starting at $120.00 U.S Dollars per year.

More information about the Solaris 10 OS can be found at: www.sun.com/software/solaris/

Java Studio Creator 2, which also is part of the Solaris Enterprise System, is planned for free download and has been hailed by eWeek editor Peter Coffee as, "the most attractive developer product this year." Coffee went on to say that Java Studio Creator 2, "... gave me the kind of drag-and-drop convenience that developers expect .... It not only worked well when used as intended but also resisted my attempts to confuse its cooperating tools." Coffee also points out that, "Java Studio Creator 2 gave me the same ease of visual construction, navigation and linkage among the HTML pages of a Web application that it did among the UI components of a single page, with an HTTP monitor tool that sped my investigation and debugging of behind-the-scenes details. Its data provider components offered me convenient and powerful abstractions; its lower-level code editing tools had the kind of power that today's developers demand."

More details on Sun's Java Studio Creator 2 web application development tool will be announced within the next 30 days, for the latest information on Java Studio Creator, please go to: developers.sun.com/jscreator.

According to the article, "Every year, the analysts at eWEEK Labs evaluate hundreds of enterprise products. The goal is to provide technology decision makers with a strong sense of direction as they navigate IT waters made choppy by hype, regulatory mandates, security concerns, competitive issues, budgetary and personnel constraints and, well, the list goes on and on. This year we found much to recommend, as vendors continue to innovate and to listen to their customers' (and potential customers') concerns. Products that pushed the technology envelope, made it easier to comply with various regulatory mandates and that heeded enterprises' desire for more interoperable solutions were just some that rose to the top of the analysts picks for the best products they evaluated in 2005. Here's to even better things in 2006."

Microsoft tweaks browser to avoid liability

2005-12-03T05:33:02Z

http://news.com.com/Microsoft+tweaks+browser+to+avoid+liability/2100-1012_3-
5980658.html?tag=nefd.top

By Ina Fried
Staff Writer, CNET News.com

Published: December 2, 2005, 2:00 PM PST

Microsoft is changing the way its Web browser handles certain controls in an
effort to shield itself from liability in an ongoing patent spat with a
start-up backed by the University of California.

The software giant is notifying Web developers and other partners on Friday
that it is changing the way Internet Explorer handles certain Web programs,
known as ActiveX controls and Java applets.

With the change, Web developers will need to slightly modify their pages or
consumers will have to make an extra click to get to some content, such as
for a Macromedia Flash-based advertisement.

"We think that the user experience impact is relatively modest," said
Michael Wallent, a general manager in Microsoft's Windows-client unit.

Microsoft will incorporate the new version of Internet Explorer into all new
copies of Windows and also into the next version of the browser, IE 7, which
will be available for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and as part of Windows
Vista. Existing users may also get the new code as part of future security
updates, Wallent said.

"We believe over the next six months, most customers will be running copies
of Internet Explorer with this behavior."

Microsoft has been in a long-running spat with Eolas Techologies and the
University of California. In September, the U.S. Patent Office upheld the
validity of the patent at issue in the case.

A University of California spokesman said that its lawsuit against Microsoft
deals with infringement caused by previously sold versions of the browser.

"The lawsuit covers sales predating this latest reconfiguration," he said.

Autodesk Goes Prime Time in House, Lost, Nip/Tuck and Other TV Shows Autodesk Goes Prime Time in House, Lost, Nip/Tuck and Other TV Shows Autodesk Goes Prime Time in House, Lost, Nip/Tuck and Other TV Shows Autodesk Goes Prime Time in House, Lost, Nip/

2005-11-03T00:06:01Z

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced that its media and entertainment systems and software are shaping more than 40 television shows for the 2005-2006 television programming season. From returning favorites such as Lost and Nip/Tuck to provocative new shows like Prison Break and Rome, Autodesk?s technology is relied upon by broadcasters and post-production facilities to realize edge-of-your-seat entertainment.

Mark Driscoll, founder and president of Hollywood-based Look Effects, said, ?Everyone knows that Autodesk?s visual effects tools provide creative freedom. What?s interesting is that this freedom is two-fold. We use the tools to deliver visual effects-driven shows like CSI New York. At the other end of the spectrum are the ?hidden visual effects? shows like The O.C. These types of shows require subtle effects like seamless transitions, color adjustments and green screen replacements. Autodesk?s Discreet Flame and Discreet Flint systems enable us to flawlessly deliver both audible wows and undetectable story advancements.? Look Effects also uses its Autodesk systems on Criminal Minds, Arrested Development and Malcolm in the Middle.

A52, an Emmy award-winning visual effects and design company, employed Autodesk?s Discreet Inferno and Flame visual effects systems on the main title sequence for Rome, a new historical drama. This HBO and BBC co-production envelops viewers in the mystique of the Roman Empire of 52 BC. Created entirely in-house at A52, the title sequence combines live-action and computer-generated elements, including digital graffiti, grain and colors. Autodesk?s systems were instrumental in crafting a chariot race from varied-rate footage that required extensive 3D tracking, and for creating a camera fly-through of a dye wall. In addition, the Inferno system has a big role in crime and medical dramas, which use extensive visual effects to play out murders and surgeries.

Post-production facility Digital Dimension recently won an Emmy award for its work on Lost. Digital Dimension used Autodesk 3ds Max animation software to create the chilling crash sequence that set the scene for the entire series.

Autodesk technology ? including 3ds Max animation software, Autodesk Combustion visual effects software, Discreet Fire and Smoke editing systems, and Discreet Inferno, Flame and Flint visual effects systems ? is being used by customers on numerous returning hits and new shows:

* Charlie Jade and Tripping the Rift (Cinegroupe)
* Huff, Barbershop, Big Love, Charmed, CSI New York, Deadwood, House, Monk, NCIS, Nip/Tuck, Rome, The Unit and Veronica Mars (Encore Hollywood)
* The Flight That Fought Back (Imaginary Forces)
* ER, Gilmore Girls, Grey?s Anatomy and The West Wing (Level 3 Post)
* 10.5 (Meteor Studios)
* Everwood, Hot Properties, Joey, My Name is Earl, Out of Practice, Related and Two and a Half Men (MFX)
* Book of Daniel, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother, Malcolm in the Middle, Misconceptions, Smallville, The O.C. and What I Like About You (Modern Video Film)
* Cerburus (Pixel Blues)
* Deadwood, Close to Home, Cold Case, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Prison Break and The Sopranos (R!OT)
* Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate: SG1 (Rainmaker)
* CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, House and Medium (The Post Group)
* Battlestar Galactica, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Prison Break and Threshold (Zoic Studios)

About Autodesk
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) is wholly focused on ensuring that great ideas are turned into reality. With six million users, Autodesk is the world's leading software and services company for the manufacturing, building, infrastructure, wireless data services and media and entertainment fields.

Court won't review Microsoft patent case

2005-10-31T08:36:08Z

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051031/bs_nm/microsoft_appeal_dc

1 hour, 15 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Monday refused to consider an appeal by Microsoft Corp. in a case involving claims by a privately held California software firm and the University of California that Microsoft infringed their patents with its Internet Explorer browser.

Without comment, the high court rejected an appeal by Microsoft that it said involved more than 64 percent of the $521 million patent infringement ruling against the software giant.

Microsoft sought review of an appeals court ruling that allows the privately held firm Eolas Technologies Inc. and the University of California to seek royalties based on the foreign manufacture and sale of an infringing software-related product.
