1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you get in touch with technology? With 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: tech stuff from how stuff Works dot com. Yo, Sup, 4 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to the podcast. My name is Chris Poulette. I'm 5 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: an editor here at how Stuff Works, and I'm joined 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: by one of our most fantastic writers, Jonathan Strickland. Oh 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: pardon me, I was just browsing okay, like uh on 8 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Internet Explore. Oh well, Internet Explore eight Beta. We thought 9 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: we'd talked a little bit today about web browsers and 10 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: specifically kind of some updates that have happened over the 11 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: summer of two thousand eight. It's kind of the summer 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: of web browsers in a way. Yeah, I think about it. Yeah, 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: there have been a lot of browser updates. Yeah, which, 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's pretty i don't know, maybe less than 15 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: exciting topic for a lot of people, but you know, 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: actually has brought a lot of advancements, right and considering 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: that most of our worklies on Internet browsers for us, 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: it's really interesting. So we're going to infect you with 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: our enthusiasm and interest in this topic. I think I'm 20 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: glad you said enthusiasm and interest. I'm glad that. In fact. 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to Internet Explore. H ally, Yeah, 22 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: so this has been out for for a little while. Yeah, um, 23 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: you know it's uh, the newest version of Internet Explorer. 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: It's got it actually has brought some some different changes 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: colored tabs and wow, you know, but that can actually 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: be pretty, you know, pretty useful in being able to 27 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: figure out which piece you were just looking at you. 28 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a great one. Yeah yeah, we joke 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: about it, but really, these these things that seem pedestrian 30 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: do actually have some uses. One of the the updates 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: in the Internet Explore eight uh really was just behind 32 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: the scenes stuff that you might not notice immediately but 33 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: will make a big difference in your browsing if that's 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: what you use. Um, they updated, they improved their HTML 35 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: reading capabilities and other markup language reading capabilities so that 36 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: websites look the way they're supposed to look. Um. As 37 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: the web grows and evolves, it's become a lot more complex. 38 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: Like originally back in the day, they were all kind 39 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: of text files almost when the occasional picture and if 40 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: you're really lucky, a MIDI file that would have absolutely 41 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: no control and you play over and over as you 42 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: looked at a website, but now they're far more complex. Yeah. Well, 43 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, the web was never really meant to do 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: what we're doing with it UM, so you know, it 45 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: was originally used for basically for academic use and for research, 46 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: so it wasn't supposed to have all these flash files 47 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: and you know, sound files embedded in them, and e 48 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: commerce and all these other things. So the web browser 49 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: has had to evolve to take advantage of this stuff. 50 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: It's actually, uh come a long way a very short time, 51 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: just ten fifteen years. But so that's that's kind of 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: where these updates come into play, is to make sure 53 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: that you can actually you know, see and take advantage 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: of all these cool things that people are doing, because 55 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: if you don't update your browser, then you know, the 56 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: browsers just browser doesn't know automatically how to access this 57 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: kind of information. So that's that's what I E. Eight 58 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: is kind of doing. It's it's updated so that you 59 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: can see the best and newest stuff that's out there 60 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: on the Internet. But there are a lot of other 61 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: updates that went along with it as well. For instance, 62 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: UM sixty four bit downloads that doesn't sound that exciting, 63 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: but actually it means that now the Internet Explorer, you 64 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: can you can download files that are in excess of 65 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: four gigabytes in size. Yeah, well that's a big thing. 66 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: That is a big thing, especially well, you know, we've 67 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: talked about cloud computing a lot on here, but you know, 68 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: as people store more files online and larger files online, 69 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna see fewer software programs offered on 70 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: the shelves of stores because they're you're basically going to 71 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: put your credit card in and get your file download 72 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: directly to your computer. Hey, you know, fast, easy, and 73 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: very very large. So that's it. They're getting ready for that. 74 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: When when we get into the point where where uh, 75 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: entertainment is digital is through digital downloads. Like if you 76 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: wanted to download an HD movie, that's gonna be a 77 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: big file size, you're gonna need a browser that's capable 78 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: of handling that. So yeah, they are looking ahead and 79 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: that's a good thing because I think, well, in my opinion, 80 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: digital downloads are the future of of media distributions. So 81 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: they're kind of getting ahead of that before. You know, 82 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: they don't want to lag behind. Good good plan. So 83 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: but there are other things as well, there's the in 84 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: private browsing, which has another another common term on the net. 85 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: Yeah you wanna, you wanna say, You're gonna let me 86 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: say I it's horn mode. Ground wow. Wow, Oh I 87 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: feel so dirty right now. Right in in private browsing 88 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: just limits the number of cookies and tracking information. It 89 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: really cuts down on all of that so that you 90 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: can use your browser to look at websites and not 91 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: necessarily worry about being tracked everywhere or someone Like let's 92 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: say you're sharing a computer and well, well, let's not 93 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: even talk about the porn. Let's just say that it's 94 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,119 Speaker 1: for something perfectly innocent, like I'm shopping for my wife 95 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: for for an anniversary gift, and that would be that 96 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: would be a legitimate use for it. Exactly a legitimate 97 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: use for the in private browsing. I want to shop 98 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: for an anniversary president. I don't want her to be 99 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: aware of it. We're sharing the same computer. I might 100 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: turn that on so that I can look around, and 101 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: that way there's no real trail there, so she's not 102 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: gonna know that I'm buying her a something. I can't 103 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: say it because she listens to the podcast A right then, Okay, 104 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: but you know, is it is it functional? What do 105 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: you know? Have you heard anything about how that will now? 106 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: Not the king, I mean there have been some Internet Explorer. 107 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: It is still in beta, right, so it's got some issues. Right. 108 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: Beta's test phase, it's not and it's it's none its 109 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: final format is what beta means, So it means it's 110 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: some things may not work the way they were intended 111 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: to work. Right. Basically, when a new software program is 112 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: UH first launched, it's an alpha phase, which means that 113 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: lots of stuff is not going to work the way 114 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: it's opposed to, and it usually is internalized. It's not. 115 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: It's very rare that a company will will release an 116 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: alpha build two external users, but it does happen. It 117 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: does happen, and UH, but you're more likely to see 118 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: a beta, which means that if you install this, it 119 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: could you know, behave weird it could you delete your 120 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: entire hard drive contents there, It could be completely incompatible 121 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: with like three other programs that are on your computer. 122 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: Or if you've downloaded XP Service Pack three and you 123 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: have two of Internet of Explore eight, you'll have them forever. Yes, 124 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: you will not be able to uninstall them, which is 125 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: just one of those kinds of things that happens when 126 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: you try out new software, which we do a lot of. 127 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: But after beta, once it's it's passed through the beta 128 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: stage and it's gone through testing, that's when they launch 129 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: it publicly. There's no Gamma. I don't think I've heard 130 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: of any Gamas anyway. No, there's just the Omega, the 131 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: Omega build. Yeah, so uh so, Yeah, that's one of 132 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: the things that that i'd heard was a problem with it. 133 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: And I also heard um that the newest version of 134 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: Internet Explorer Beta too, um actually uses twice the system 135 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: memory and creates six times the process or threads as 136 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: the newest build of Firefox, which means it's using quite 137 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: a bit of system resources. And you probably will see 138 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 1: when they finally release Microsoft finally releases the final version, 139 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that they're probably going to take care of that, 140 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: and they'll have to scale it back some because otherwise, 141 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: if you have multiple applications open, you run the risk 142 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: of either owing to a crawl or actually crashing your 143 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: system as your computer says, hey, I just don't have 144 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: the resources to run all the stuff you want me 145 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: to run, or maybe your old just to your computer, go, yeah, 146 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: I might have the little wily kyote moment and sweat 147 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: drops over your top of your monitor. And and the 148 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: reason we're talking about Internet Explorer first is because it's 149 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: the most popular browser on the Internet right now, for now, 150 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: for now. Part of that might have something to do 151 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: with it being pre installed on almost every PC that 152 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: you can buy. Um, I'm just saying, yeah, well, that's true. 153 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't even know that they 154 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: are alternatives out there, right so let's let's go ahead 155 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: and inform them. Let's talk about one of those alternatives. 156 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: And we'll talk about the most popular alternative to Internet Explorer, 157 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: which is Firefox. I. Firefox has its roots in the 158 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: Netscape browser. If you're a long time Internet user, you've 159 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: probably used a copy of Netscape and you might have 160 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: thought it had completely gone away, Well, you know a O. L. 161 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 1: Bottom a few years ago, and actually just before that 162 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: Netscape release. They're the source code, basically the code that 163 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: they used to write the program um the guts if 164 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: you will, um to the public and said, hey, do 165 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: what you want to with it. And Firefox is one 166 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: of the results of that that source code release, an 167 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: open source, free web browser and uh, this summer they 168 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: had the Firefox Download Day when they released the Firefox 169 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: three build. Um. Firefox three, of course being the the 170 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: latest version of the browser as of this recording. I'm 171 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: assuming that this will go out before Firefox four comes out, 172 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: since that would be record turnaround time. But they actually 173 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: they had a Firefox had a Firefox Download Day where 174 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: they tried to get as many people to download the 175 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: browser within a twenty four hour period um as they 176 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: possibly could, and more than eight million people downloaded it. Now, 177 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: granted there was there was no pre existing record, so 178 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: they set the record set the honestly say that they 179 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: But Firefox three, Uh, it's it's got some nice little updates, 180 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: which we talked about in another podcast. But we can 181 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: we can do a quick rundown here. Um, the bar 182 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: is awesome, Yes, the awesome bar. Yeah, the awesome bar 183 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: is awesome. Yeah. Yeah, the awesome bar which will sort 184 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: of figure out what you're going to try and type 185 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: as you type it. Uh. I actually do like that feature. Yeah, 186 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: it took a little getting used to it first. I 187 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: think I think a lot of people kind of resisted 188 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: at first, but but it's it's not bad and it's 189 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: in fact awesome, but Fairefox three. It's based on the 190 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: get Go one point nine web rendering platform, the web 191 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: rendering platform that that kind of tells you a lot 192 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: about how fast your browser is going to go, because 193 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: it's how fast the browser can can convert data into 194 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: the images that you're looking at when you're when you're 195 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: viewing a web page. Yeah, so how fast the web 196 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: page actually pops up after you tell it to the load? Right? Right? 197 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: It has, you know, a lot to do with the 198 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: speed of your connection. This be to your processor memory 199 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: and your computer, but it also has to deal with 200 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: the software you're using to do this, and and if 201 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: you're using Firefox three, uh, it's gonna pop up a 202 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: lot faster than if you had been using Firefox too, right. 203 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: And other things that we're new in the Firefox browser 204 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: include security. Um, there's some more security uh applications built 205 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: into the browser. For instance, now, if you go to 206 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: a site that uh that Firefox knows has malware on it, 207 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: malware being malicious software, a warning will pop up and 208 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: tell you, hey, this is a this is a wretched 209 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: hive of scum and villainy. I just thought they're a 210 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: little star wars n Old school. UM. So yeah, the 211 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: the malware issue, that's that's definitely helpful. And there are 212 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: other ones as well that that tells you, um, you know, 213 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: if if there's a security concern, it'll pop up and 214 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: alert you. It also, um is proactive and alerting uh 215 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: anti virus software about problematic web pages. So it's it's 216 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: Firefox is really doing its part and trying to make 217 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: the Internet a safer place. Yeah. And um and I 218 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: have to uh to throw in my little pet browser 219 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: project here, um, which sounds like I'm belittling it, but 220 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm not another branch on the Firefox family tree. It's 221 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: never really from the Mozilla Foundation. It's from a group 222 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: of people call who call their browser flock. But it 223 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: uses the same source code and they have a new 224 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: data out of their flock too. Um. The one for 225 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: regular version is still on one at this point, but 226 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: you can download the second version. And the thing is 227 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: it's basically it's basically like what you would see from Firefox. 228 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: It's you know, it has the same version of the 229 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: awesome bar it uh. It also you know allows you 230 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: to plug in add ons, which is actually a new 231 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: thing for Internet Explore eight although that's still you know, 232 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: they're still working that out in data, but you can 233 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: add you know, customization to your browser. Um. But the 234 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: thing about Flock that makes it so different is it's 235 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: sort of a social networking thing because you can it's 236 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: got built into it a chance to uh network with 237 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: your flicker, your Facebook account, your MySpace, Twitter, and all 238 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: kinds of other accounts, and it's built right in along 239 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: with the mail. So a lot of the add on 240 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: ones that you would put into Firefox are already built 241 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: into the Flock interface. Um. So it's kind of cool 242 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: and it's very very much if you've already been using Firefox, 243 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: you will find Flocked to be very very similar. And 244 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: it is also free, so you know, I just add 245 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: that on because you know it works so well with Firefox. 246 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: You know. Of course, there's Safari has a new update 247 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: from Apple, and uh, you know, Opera actually has a 248 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: new data out along the nine point five. I've lost 249 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: track of which nine point five it is, but I've 250 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: always enjoyed the Opera browser. It is also a free 251 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: browser from a software company in Norway, and they also 252 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: have browsers for mobile phones and for the Wii. Actually, 253 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: if you have a Nintendo Wei and you access the Internet. 254 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: Opera is a software you would use to that, and 255 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: I think that's all the browsers. Wait wait, wait, first 256 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: of all, first of all, let me let me just say, 257 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: in the interest of full disclosure, Uh, Pallette and I 258 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: have a fundamental disagreement on whether or not Safari is 259 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: a good browser. But we were not going to tell 260 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: you who who's who believes what? You aren't just gonna 261 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: let me throw Safari. No, I wasn't gonna let Safari 262 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: go with a wait no, I think I just took 263 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: my hand. Think you all right? I'm not a big 264 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: Safari fan. So that's why I have Firefox on my 265 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: Mac at home. I do have a max so but uh, 266 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: Safari actually from Apple does also use the Gecko rendering engine. Um, 267 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: and it is. It is quite fast. A lot of 268 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: people enjoy the fact that it is very uh scaled down. 269 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: That's I think that's the one of the biggest things 270 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: that Johnathan has a problem with is that it is 271 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: very minimalistic. There's you know, afford and back and reload 272 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: and pretty much it. There's not a lot of you 273 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: can add add ons, but it's kind of tricky to 274 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: do that, and some of them charge. You know, ad 275 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: blocking is not uh something that's free. You can you 276 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: can down download a free add on for Firefox or 277 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: for Flock that does a really great job of blocking advertising. Um, 278 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: but the best one I know of for Safari, pith Helmet, 279 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: actually is a shareware, so you have to pay a 280 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: small fee to use it and add it to your 281 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: your Safari account, but you can try it for free. 282 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: It just starts saying, you know, hey what, okay, fine, no, 283 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm just trying not to use a pun Okay, that's 284 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: fine with pith helmet. I know, Okay, the temptation is 285 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: too great. Let's let's well, so we are overlooking a browser, Chris. 286 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised you haven't heard about it because it 287 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: really kind of slipped under the radar. But recently a 288 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: little web company by the name of Google entered the 289 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: browser field. Yeah, I've heard of them. Yeah you might, 290 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, search around in your memory, you'll probably find it. 291 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: So Google has come out with Google Chrome, a brand 292 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: new web browser, and it's fast. Yeah, it's it's really fast. Actually, 293 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: it reminds me of Safari in a way because it 294 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: is very it is also it is also very minimalistic. 295 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: It is you know, it's not fancy. It doesn't have 296 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: lots of flashy stuff. Well, if you think of the 297 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: Google web page, right, yeah, Google dot Com, it's it's 298 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: sort of like that. It's very function this is what 299 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: it's for. This is how it works right now, No, no, 300 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: we should we should say that first of all, Google 301 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: Chrome is in beta mode, beta phase. But then again, 302 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: everything Google does kind of beta face. Gmail has been 303 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: out for a couple of years and it's still beta. 304 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: So I don't know that we'll ever see an homegap 305 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: version of Google Chrome. But it's it's a it's interesting. 306 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: It's it's rendering him engine is the WebKit engine, right, 307 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: So it's it's lightning fast when it's pulling up web pages. 308 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: It's you know, if your connection is good, you're gonna 309 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: have a fast browsing experience with Google Chrome. Now, there 310 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: have been people who have reported that not every web 311 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: page loads or displays correctly, but it is still in beta. 312 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: It's a brand new browser, and and they actually had 313 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: to release it a little ahead of schedule because information 314 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: about the browser leaked out, which it's actually amazing it 315 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 1: it took so long to leak out because they've been 316 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: working on this for a couple of years and no 317 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: one had heard of this at all until September one 318 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight, and then suddenly it's all 319 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: over the internet and everyone has to have it. And 320 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: they on September two, they held a press conference. Google 321 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: held a press conference, and in the middle of the 322 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: press conference, Google Chrome went live. Um. I downloaded Google 323 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: Chrome as the press conference was going on. Installed that. 324 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: The whole thing took maybe a minute and watch the 325 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: second half of the press conference on Google Chrome. It 326 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: was so fast. Didn't it didn't crash, didn't have any 327 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: problems like that, and uh, it's got some neat features. Um. 328 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: One of my favorites is you know, often when I 329 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: when I get a browser, the very first thing I'll 330 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: do is I'll change the homepage. You know, I don't 331 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: want the generic homepage usually. But Google Chrome what it 332 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: does is for its generic homepage, it pulls up nine 333 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: sites that you visit the most and presents them in thumbnail. Uh, 334 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: in three rows of three, and you can see the 335 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: thumbnails all in one view. And you can click on 336 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: any of those nine and go straight to that, So 337 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: you don't you're not limited to one homepage. You now 338 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: have nine home pages right there, and it's the nine 339 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: sites you go to the most I can tell you've 340 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: never used Opera. No, I have not used Opera. The 341 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: most recent version of Opera has a similar feature where 342 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: you can but you actually can tell it which ones 343 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: you want to. Yeah, you can. You can fiddle with 344 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: the Google ones. Okay, so you can actually tell yeah, 345 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: you have to. You have to kind of dig around 346 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: a little bit. The underneat thing is that in Google 347 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: the Google Chrome, it's tabbed browsing, just like with Internet 348 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: Explorer and Firefox, but each tab is its own process, 349 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: which means that there's this that if you close one, 350 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: if one's giving you a lot of trouble, you can 351 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: actually pull up a tab organizer, see which tab is 352 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: really draining your resources and close it without affecting the 353 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: rest of your browsing experience, and you should see a 354 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: market improvement in in system performance overall, like with Firefox, 355 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: Internet Explorer, the older versions. Anyway, you couldn't necessarily do that. 356 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: You you'd be browsing and suddenly everything slows down. You're 357 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: not sure which tab is causing the problems, like with Firefox. 358 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: It was usually if it had a lot of flash 359 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: on it. Flash pages cause Firefox issues. Um Sometimes you 360 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: can only play like the first couple of seconds of 361 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: a flash video and it just stops. And it's because 362 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: there's too much flash on the page and it just 363 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: can't process it. Um and And both Internet Explorer and 364 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: Firefox also had problems with memory leaking, where you know, 365 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: the more tabs who had opened, the more memory it 366 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: was consuming, and eventually your your system would grind to 367 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: a halt if you were browsing all day long. Yeah. 368 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: Firefox too, you know, had a huge Yeah. Yeah, Firefox 369 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: three is is better. It's it's not perfect, but it's 370 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: much better than it used to be. Well, Google Chrome 371 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: is trying to address those issues head on. And also 372 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of meant to be a platform for 373 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: all the Google apps and web based applications that are 374 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: out there. It's it's kind of they built it with 375 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: the thought that the Internet has evolved and that we're 376 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: moving to this cloud computing model. Why we just love 377 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: saying that, don't we. But we're moving to this cloud 378 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: computing model where everything's on the Internet, So that means 379 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: the browser has to be robust enough to be able 380 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: to handle these kind of applications, and that's kind of 381 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: what Google Chrome is supposed to be. But the uh 382 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: that actually brings up a web content brings up the 383 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: problem that most people have had with it. And I'll 384 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: quote here a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty free, and non 385 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modified, translate, published, publicly, performed, publicly, desplate, display, 386 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: and distribute any content which you submit, post, or display 387 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: on or through Google Chrome. Why would you have a 388 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: problem with that? Well, why do you hate America? Well, 389 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: this language actually came from the original version of the 390 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: End User License Agreement or LA that came along with 391 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: Google Chrome. So if you downloaded Google Chrome during the 392 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: press release announcement and installed it without looking at this, 393 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: you might have gone back and gone, wait a minute, 394 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: what did I just say that I could allow Google 395 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: to do with my content? Are you suggesting that I 396 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: didn't read the entire LA before? I don't, Well, you'd 397 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: be right. I I didn't know. I didn't know, and 398 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't a lot. But the 399 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: people like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, they had yeah, and 400 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: they had a problem with this because um they said 401 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: that what what Google meant by this was, hey, we 402 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: own all your content. Anything you post through this this 403 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: web browser belongs to us. Um And as one lawyer 404 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: pointed out, it could actually violate the terms of your 405 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: employment agreement with your company if you were to say, 406 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: go to your web mail program and uh, you know, 407 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: send email and you're not supposed to share your email 408 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: with anybody else. Basically you're saying, I own the rights 409 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: to my email. Well, if you're using your company email, 410 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: maybe you don't. So you know, there there were some issues. 411 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: Now Google has backed off of that and they said, 412 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, this is not what we meant. We're just 413 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: saying anything you we want to be able to display 414 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: the information that you were saying. So if you post 415 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: to your blog using Chrome, you're saying, it's okay for 416 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: us to take this inform put it on your blog. Right. 417 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: But so many people have caused a stink. I've read 418 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: that Google has said, Okay, okay, well, this isn't what 419 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: we meant. Let's clarify that. Yeah, the Internet's really made 420 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: made the whole intellectual property uh argument much more complex, 421 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: and we're probably going to see a lot more of 422 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: these kind of little hiccups down the road, possibly from Google, 423 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: which uh and other companies as well. Right, you know, 424 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: do I need to scare you? Hey, so far he's 425 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: got a new update. You didn't even ask for it. 426 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: There we got that'll work. Um, but I guess, uh, 427 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: I guess that's a good round up for the web browsers, 428 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: don't you think. I'm sure that by the time this 429 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: goes alive, someone else will have come out with anybody. 430 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure, there's no doubt. I mean, well, and it'll 431 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if if Google Chrome will have 432 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: any staying power or well, there's such they've got such 433 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: backing that it's uh, you know a lot of people 434 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: have been asking, especially the Mozilla Foundation. They're saying, well, 435 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: you know, what do you think is this going to 436 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: take you guys out? And uh, you know, to their 437 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 1: credit they've said, well, you know, bring it on. Well 438 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: not only that, but I think I think it will 439 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: push for innovation and all the other browsers as well, 440 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: and then we may we may see that you know, 441 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: all browsers are supporting this kind of web based application 442 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: model and they move away from being browsers into more 443 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: like web based operating systems, and uh, I think that 444 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: that would suit Google just fine. Well, I guess that 445 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: wraps this up. If you'd like to learn more, you 446 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: can read our article on how Firefox works. We also 447 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: have articles on the other browser systems.
