Anonymous Bank Emails & Microsoft IE9

Anonymous Symbol

Anonymous has released a cache of e-mails which it claims show impropriety at Bank of America. The leak details plans to delete sensitive documents. Bank of America has denied wrongdoing and called the claims "extravagant". The e-mails were initially posted online at http://bankofamericasuck.com. That website has only been available intermittently, having been overwhelmed by requests. Sites mirroring the content have appeared, which proves the rule "once on the internet its always on the internet". Anonymous members have engaged in a campaign of action against websites and companies that assisted the United States government in its attempt to isolate Wikileaks.

Microsoft has launched the finished version of its Internet Explorer 9 web browser. The company said IE9's graphics handling, security and privacy features put it on an even footing with Firefox, Chrome, Safari and others. Microsoft said one key feature in IE9 was tools to stop people being tracked as they move from site to site. This information is often gathered by commercial firms to tailor ads to the specific habits of web users. IE9 also has hardware acceleration built in so it can call on the power of a PC's graphics card to display sites in more detail. Microsoft said the 40 million test, or beta, versions of IE9 that had been downloaded made it the most downloaded of all time. Already, it said 2% of Windows 7 users were running the latest version. IE9 does not run on Windows XP and can only be used with Windows 7 and Vista.
