What Internet Explorer is still missing
It is very important to think out of the box every once in a while. I tend to forget this and if I am discovering something new I am always suprised why I didn’t look for it earlier. This is the case with a neat little add-on for Internet Explorer.
I am the kind of a guy who thinks: “Never touch a default system” or “Keep it simple” . This is the reason why I never install additional software on operating systems unless they add a non-existant feature that I really want. This is why I’d never install “Opera” or “Firefox” on a Microsoft machine. Why should I? I mean there already comes a good browser with it. Except the “Find” feature is really ridiculous. A stupid pop-up with no functionality at all (highlight all, find as you type, etc.).
This is where IE Inline Search enters the stage. I suggest you give it a try. Firefox search feeling on websites (see the search bar on the bottom of the screen). Wooohoooo.
Microsoft jumps on the bandwagon
The fact that even Microsoft perceived the importance of the perimeterless network (although they call it anywhere access) shows the impact of the topic. For a quick introdcution I suggest the Video (WMA stream) showing Bill Gates and Craig Mundie talking about the de-perimeterization of the LAN and the approaching technologies to implement the PLN.
About
Originally this site was intended as a project site. The goal was to define standards for the perimeterless network using
open-source software. To be honest I simply do not have the time for such a thing. So what is left is a blog with sporadic
posts that are either helpful for myself or I think are helpful for others, too since I had a hard time finding information
on the Internet. Think of it as a knowledge base.
Ehm yes, somtimes I write down my two cents on any topic that may go through my mind at that point in time ;-)
