Oh, that's too much...

[konichiwa]

Sickening...

I'm running Windows XP. On the AnandTech frontpage, it underlined the word Intel in purple. If I hold my mouse over it, a little info box pops up. (see image) -- I wonder how much Intel paid for that? Blech. :disgust:

 

[Imaginer]

And nothing for AMD.

What is even more sickening is the pastel colors. Too much of it is not a good thing.

So now the evil empire scans the content of the web pages that we visit and gives us unwanted information that clutters our screen.

Whatever will they think of next?

BTW - Are they erasing all references to Netscape or Linux on all web sites?

 

[StageLeft]

Ok that IS too much. Thats going too far now!!

 

[KameLeon]

That's a new feature built into Internet explorer that comes with Windows XP. It'll highlight corporation names such as Yahoo, Intel, Microsoft, Cisco and what not... and You can bring up that dialogue and check out information on them. It's not Anandtech advertising Intel..

 

[Valafar]

It is part of IE 6. I have the beta and it's there.

 

[Mikal]

Just say NO! to the Evil Empire!!!

 

[yakko]

What a waste of code. That would drive me nuts.

 

[helloedchen]

im sure you can turn that off...if ya hate it that much...dun use XP

 

[konichiwa]

Well I like XP, and although it doesn't bother me in the sense that I won't use it ... maybe I'll boycott and just not BUY it?

 

[Valhalla1]

ugh.


purpel pastel sh!t drives me insane.


I'm sticking to NT 5 and IE 5

 

[TuffGuy]

if you guys missed what Valafar said, it's a feature of IE6 not of WinXP.

 

[iamwiz82]

I like the star, myself. Is that for you to wish upon at any given moment?

<< if you guys missed what Valafar said, it's a feature of IE6 not of WinXP. >>

Like they are not going to ship IE6 with XP. I guess I will have to install IE4 to correct the problem.

 

[Mikal]

IEremove solves many problems!

or just uncheck the feature in IE6...

 

[konichiwa]

But then what are you going to use? Netscape? I'd rather be subjected to corporate gimmicks than Nutscrape.

 

[TuffGuy]

one of the nbc websites has had that feature for at least half a year. they even advertise it on tv.

<tapping konichiwa on the shoulder>turn off the feature by un-selecting the option?

 

[Mikal]

Sure, why not? Good ol' Nutscrape 4.08 browser-only works fine..... or Opera.... or that buggy new Mozilla.... There are alternatives.
