John Lee Hooker Dies R.I.P. the Father of the Blues. New York Times obit. Internet Explorer Smart Tags This issue, which I first touched on earlier this month, is comprehensively explained on A List Apart in this article which explores every aspect of the controversial new feature which Microsoft will ship with the it's next operating system and the new version of Internet Explorer that will accompany it. This is most comprehensive review I've seen. It's clear that Microsoft have stepped way over the line, and one can only hope that they'll step back from implementing it. However, the article concludes that at best the code might be disabled rather than excised from the browser, and there it would lurk until Microsoft deems it time to try again. 9:46:13 AM
