Bush Marketing’s web developer Andrew Bleakley just sent me an article on the ABC News about Internet Explorer security issues and the Australian government’s warning.
It’s hard for me as an apple mac user and an advocate of open source everythingness to comprehend why any organisation, person and especially government would use Internet Explorer. It would be like taking the tyres off your car and replacing them with square pieces of stone to go from Firefox or my new love Chrome to Microsoft’s clunky old browser.
The digital age is well and truly upon us and people will no doubt go to panic stations about this. With any luck this will spur people on to looking at open source alternatives to expensive, easy to hack and likely to attract attack software. There is no real need to panic unless you are the sort of person who likes to send cash in the mail in an unlicked envelope. Stop using Internet Explorer and look download for free a superior alternative. Taste the goodness of open source.
Please feel free to contact Andrew Bleakley and Greg Cromwell if you have any questions about technology, the internet and life’s bigger questions (perhaps we will need to meet over a beer for this one)
