Re: Google Apps dropping support for IE8 said by OZO:Well, good...
1. I'm impatiently waiting for the time, when browsers will start updating their versions couple of times per month. That will be real fun 
2. At the moment I'm browsing the Internet on WXP computer with hosts file containing:
127.0.0.1 ajax.googleapis.com
So, I guess respect is mutual 
cool..that is a great page to block..I don't block it because it's ..Mac people had that problem when.. "Looks like if you have this error you downloaded Parallels from torrent, and added to hosts file one line containing ajax.googleapis.com. So go to terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/hosts inside the editor find for the line 127.0.0.1 ajax.googleapis.com and remove it or comment it out." ajax.googleapis.com is a CDN repository for the popular jquery javascript functionality plus others that modern websites utilise. If you block this then you will stop some website's functioning as it was designed to work. For websites.. Both Google and Microsoft host several different versions of jQuery and other JavaScript frameworks. It saves you from having to download and store the jQuery framework, but it has a much bigger advantage: Because the file comes from a common URL that other websites may use as well, chances are that when people reaches your website and their browser requests the jQuery framework, it may already be in the cache, because another website is using the exact same version and file. Besides that, most CDN's will make sure that once a user requests a file from it, it's served from the server closest to them, so your European users won't have to get the file all the way from the US and so on. You can use jQuery from a CDN just like you would do with the downloaded version, only the URL changes. For instance, to include jQuery 1.5.1 from Google, you would write the following: » www.jquery-tutorial.net/introduc···started/jQuery » en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery3 reasons why you should let Google host jQuery for you» encosia.com/3-reasons-why-you-sh···for-you/» encosia.com/do-you-know-about-th···feature/» developers.google.com/speed/libraries/--

Wait for there corporate clients to threaten to leave Google docs and Google will be changing there mind. Most corporations are still using XP and IE 8 is the latest version that runs on XP.
Google is nuts if they thing they can force customers to upgrade when even MS hasn't been able to get most companies to upgrade and you can bet if they haven't gone to windows 7 they will not be going to windows 8.
This time there policy isn't in sink with the real world especially corporations. |

said by Name Game:3 reasons why you should let Google host jQuery for you And I have my million reasons to block that host:
1. JavaScript from that host makes tracking users easier
...
And, so far, blocking that host working well with all web sites, that I want to visit, including this forum too, BTW.

kudos:7 | Yer Funny..now if you said jQuery was your concern because a site might use it to find out what browser you are using etc. I would understand since your privacy concerns are well known..but blocking google site that hosts the stuff is just fud since you and I both know ways to stop sites from from tracking..and it sure would not be plunking that in a host file.
It just slows down the load and other things in many browsers.
All web site do not even use it from that place..so it can't as you say 'work for all sites". |

Really? I'm sure, it's just an opposite. Putting mentioned earlier host name in hosts file speeds up browsing because browser saves time on downloading JQuery library and it doesn't run those scripts on background. Second, to know which particular browser user uses to browse web site there is no need to run JavaScript. That info is part of the header, provided with every request it sends. Third, if you and I both know that we have to stop tracking our web browsing habits by data collecting services, like Google, we also know, that one of the well known and simple ways is to put offending site into the hosts file. That's exactly what and why I do it -- to protect myself from Google, tracking what I'm doing on the Internet. And finally fourth, I said putting the site into my hosts file works for me for all sites I want to visit, not for all sites as you've mentioned. It's a slight, but nevertheless important difference, don't you think?.
BBR site uses JQuery for the sole purpose of tracking its users. If JQuery is blocked here it will not brake any important function on this site, even one. But Google (and you, mentioned in your post the importance of JQuery it in bold) still suggest everyone to use it anyway...

Re: Google Apps dropping support for IE8 said by lorennerol:Between the lines:
If you are still on Windows XP, you can no longer access Google Apps with Internet Explorer.
Well, I'm not still on XP (not by choice), and I don't use IE - but I also don't use Google Apps. So no great loss.
I'm pretty sure I'm still the customer, and I'm not about to be dictated to by software companies. They can just get over themselves. |

If you look you'll see my IE 5.0 install only supported 40-bit encryption. Although I had the 128-bit pack I'd forgotten to install it. It now supports 128-bit
Party like it's 1999 
BTW DSLR Secure Login won't work but I was able to login via standard. Woot!

| Question for you howardfine.
Why does LogMeIn works so much better on IE than Google Chrome? The mouse cursor skips and stutters a lot while IE is just smooth - its like the mouse is local.

We do not currently support Chrome fully, it currently works with Flash, Java, or HTML (not HTML 5). For the time being if you are on a Windows-based PC, I personally suggest you use this extension for Chrome:
»chrome.google.com/webstore/detai···ponefajn
This will allow our ActiveX plugin (what we use in IE) to work in Chrome, and provide the full Pro featureset. I use it myself on my Chrome browsers, and it works great.

And that surprised me.ActiveX is a proprietary Microsoft technology. Don't expect to see it in Chrome.
Google Chrome doesn't naturally support ActiveX.
