Web sites and HTML5 run best when they run natively, on a browser optimized for the operating system on your device. IE9 was built from the ground up for HTML5 and for Windows to deliver the most native HTML5 experience and the best Web experience on Windows. IE10 continues on IE9’s path, directly using what Windows provides and avoiding abstractions, layers, and libraries that slow down your site and your experience. Early Look at IE10. They ’re about three weeks into development of IE10, and based on the progress IE made, we want to start engaging the development community now. At the MIX conference today, we showed the new browsing engine along with several new browser test drives that anyone on the Web can try out. You can run these at IE Test Drive to see emerging standards like CSS3 Multi-column Layout (link), CSS3 Grid Layout (link) and CSS3 Flexible Box Layout (link), CSS3 Gradients (link), and ES5 Strict Mode in action. We also demonstrated additional standards support (like CSS3 Transitions (link) and CSS3 3D Transforms (link) that will be available in subsequent platform previews of IE10, which we will update every 8-12 weeks. More CSS, (Cascading Style Sheets), information.

Tab napping to attack your computer - and your finances... Tap napping’ which takes phishing one step further. Tab napping is more sophisticated than the phishing scams we’ve seen so far, and it no longer relies on persuading you to click on a dodgy link. Instead it targets internet users who open lots of tabs on their browser at the same time (for example, by pressing CTRL + T). How does it work? By replacing an inactive browser tab with a fake page set up specifically to obtain your personal data - without you even realising it has happened. Believe it or not, fraudsters can actually detect when a tab has been left inactive for a while, and spy on your browser history to find out which websites you regularly visit, and therefore which pages to fake. So don't assume that after you have opened a new tab and visited a web page, that web page will stay the same even if you don’t return to it for a time while you use other windows and tabs. Malicious code can replace the web page you opened with a fake version which looks virtually identical to the legitimate page you originally visited. Don't open any tabs while doing online banking - open new windows instead (CTL + N). Finally, take a look at Online banking: How to stay safe to find out other ways to protect yourself from online scams. More Scams and hoaxes. Fraud warnings. Virus Attacks

WebGL Aa cross-platform, royalty-free API used to create 3D graphics in a Web browser. Based on OpenGL ES 2.0, WebGL uses the OpenGL shading language, GLSL, and offers the familiarity of the standard OpenGL API. Because it runs in the HTML5 Canvas element, WebGL has full integration with all Document Object Model (DOM) interfaces. WebGL is a DOM API, which means that it can be used from any DOM-compatible language: JavaScript, Java, or—if you embed WebKit into an application on a Mac—Objective C. Major browser vendors Google (Chrome), Opera (Opera), Mozilla (Firefox), and Apple (Safari) are members of the Khronos consortium's WebGL Working Group, along with many other 3D graphics developers.

Google Apps will only support modern browsers. Beginning August 1st, we’ll support the current and prior major release of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on a rolling basis. Each time a new version is released, we’ll begin supporting the update and stop supporting the third-oldest version. That is web sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other web sites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on. Google depends on the high-quality content created by wonderful web sites around the world, and we do have a responsibility to encourage a healthy web ecosystem. Therefore, it is important for high-quality sites to be rewarded, and that’s exactly what the change does. For web applications to spring even farther ahead of traditional software, our teams need to make use of new capabilities available in modern browsers. For example, desktop notifications for Gmail and drag-and-drop file upload in Google Docs require advanced browsers that support HTML5. Older browsers just don’t have the chops to provide you with the same high-quality experience. See Google Knowledge and HTML, HTML 5.

Web Embedding Fonts Tool (WEFT) Internet Explorer. Lets Web authors create 'font objects' that are linked to their Web pages so when viewed through the browser, pages are displayed in the style contained in the font object. Font support in Web pages. Microsoft pioneered font support in Web pages by including support for the FONT FACE tag in the very first version of Internet Explorer released in 1995. IE versions 3, 4 and 5 built on this support by including support for parts of the W3C's Cascading Style Sheet 'CSS' standard. CSS gives Web site designers greater control over font specification and substitution. Although these methods of specifying fonts within Web pages provide Web page designers with a high level of typographic control, they rely on the specified fonts being installed on a reader's computer. WEFT removes this limitation. WEFT is a stand alone tool that lets Web page designers create embedded fonts that can be used when displaying their Web pages. More Font Links

Internet Explorer 9, beta will not run on Windows XP.

And all the comments and uploads we make add up to something bigger.
This is why we believe that the Web must remain open and accessible to all.

Mark Up is a celebration of that freedom.
