Windows Phone 7 : Porn Booted


Recommended Posts

Does anyone even visit any HTML5 heavy sites? Neowin doesn't seem to be since I'm viewing it just fine right now in IE8. All the reviews for MIE in WP7 has said it's good even though it lacks flash/SL and HTML5. If web devs have coded their sites for IE7/8 already, which many have done by now, then those sites will work just fine in WP7's browser, minus any flash videos. But flash support isn't MS's job, that's adobes, any lack of it isn't because MS blocked it like Apple has. MS has openly said since Feb that they'll work/working with Adobe to get flash on WP7.

SL support will come as well, once they've got more of the platform on SL4 probably and off of the hybrid SL3/4 they use now.

As for HTML5 support, that'll come to MIE once IE9 is done and they can work off of it's rendering engine, but since it's not done, why mess around with a alpha/beta version that could have god knows how many bugs still in there? Common sense says you use a stable base that you know has wide support from websites already, so IE7/8 it is.

Mobile optimized sites for iPhone/Android use HTML5 for media playback. CNN, Vimeo, Youtube, ESPN, NPR, TED, and so on.

It's much more convenient to access such material on a mobile phone if you are in bed and away from your computer - that is one of the most annoying things I find when I wish to access free porn; I must start up my computer and even sometimes get out of bed when I am comfy. I'm not suggesting all porn apps would be free, but some might be.

Yes, because Android's wild west of a marketplace doesn't have any downsides. Oh, what's that? A wallpaper app that steals personal data? Neat!

Same thing happens on the iPhone too ;)

And can be a whole lot worse: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/853524-spyphone-app-proof-of-concept/

That's the mobile version of sites, but again, you can just as well visit the normal desktop version with MIE since it's based on the desktop IE engine, minus any flash video etc (for now) and they'll showup just fine.

Err, same thing can happen on the iPhone. It hasn't yet because there's an approval process. An app that includes something like SpyPhone would probably never make it onto the iPhone app store and it can't be installed any other way.

Also, that's exactly what the app on Android was doing (just as bad), and it wasn't just a proof of concept. It actually happened. It asks for permission, but with a vague prompt about asking for "phone info."

Approval processes aren't perfect, but I'd prefer having more peace of mind about what I'm installing than what I get on Android.

You can do that on the iPhone as well, but mobile-optimized sites are great. Plus, even desktop versions of sites will start/are starting to support HTML5 and CSS3 standards.

Even so with the approval process, the proof of concept doesn't use anything illegal. It's all public APIs that any application can make use of.

And as someone pointed out on the front page: http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2010/07/29/wallpaper-app-causes-android-security-scare . Sorry to disappoint you.

How have I been inaccurate, I'm telling it like it is and what it will have at launch and for the months following launch.

No I disagree on the fact it's just behind Safari, Safari 4 for iOS is a modern mobile web browser that supports modern standards and has various means of playing online video, yes no Flash but still better than mobile IE at the moment. The new version of mobile IE fails the Acid 2 test, it gets 12 on the Acid 3, it's a browser that looks like its from years ago.

Seems a rather major detail to cleverly omit by saying the browser won't support Flash, when it will, just not at launch but shortly after. If you knew this, why did you omit it?

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
