IE6? I thought it was long dead

I am blown away by reports that IE6 is still used by large segments of the surfing public.  Why was it not abandoned long ago?  The pain of switching?

Data Protection/Privacy Day

Data Protection Day (Europe), AKA Data Privacy Day (North America), has come and gone.  My best find of the day occurred immediately after getting back to my desk after my presention for the Jan 28th event.  That was when I found http://www.startpage.com/.

Are you tired of Google scooping up all your search info? Or, more accurately, are you tired of giving it all to Google? Then you may want to try StartPage.  It is supported by Dr. Katherine Albrecht of Spychips fame.
