Blow up your browser! The Next Big Thing is the AfterWeb. Facebook made a monumental announcement Monday that seemed as though it was designed to one-up its supposed rival Twitter. But in fact, the real news is that Facebook, like so many others these days, is morphing away from a website, to something far more evolved...
Nintendo claims it improved on the DS's Internet browser, but the DSi didn't have enough memory to load my Gmail page. As a game player, the DSi is compatible with Nintendo's popular library of DS cartridges. A few DSi-specific games can be wirelessly downloaded from an online store, but they were mostly disappointing. For example, WarioWare: Snapped! has you move in response to onscreen cues, but the motion-detecting game required a very well-lit room and still behaved erratically. Nintendo will add more games over time, and motion detection could someday make...

In fact, it has already supposedly sold more than 500,000 of its $359 e-readers, despite...
Christopher Soghoian—a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School—has developed a browser extension that prevents advertising networks from tracking Internet usage habits. The Google plug-in, entitled Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO), allows users to opt out of 27 advertising networks. The program prevents advertising companies from using Internet users’ past history to place user-specific advertisements. The extension had been downloaded by over 1000 people as of Monday night, according to Soghoian. Soghoian said he aims to raise awareness of Internet privacy issues with...
