Almost none of you have probably heard the name Aza Raskin. Few of you probably know that much about Mozilla Firefox beyond some of you using it to browse the internet. Let’s just say that Mozilla Firefox has changed web browsing as we know it and one of the creative people behind its success is named Aza Raskin. Why does this matter to EMR and HIPAA? Well, Aza Raskin has announced that he’s leaving Mozilla to start a new health care startup company called Massive Health. Currently, there’s not much information on the health care startup and only one tweet on the official Massive Health twitter account. Although, it already has 1488 followers. Which is pretty amazing for a healthcare twitter account that’s abo...

These reports reveal again the existence and some workings of the information economy behind the Internet and World Wide Web. (All that content didn’t put itself there, y’know!) The discussion centers around “tracking” of web users, particularly through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are little text files that web sites offer your browser when you visit.

While several friends at the Tech Liberation Front have already weighed in on the proposal in broad terms — in a nutshell: they don’t like it — I think it’s worth taking a look at some of the specific concerns raised and remedies proposed. Some of the former strike me as being more serious than the TLF folks allow, but many of the latter seem conspicuously ill-tailored to their ends. First, while it’s certainly true that there are privacy advocates w...

Instead, the Washington Post’s headline says “U.S. Web-Tracking Plan Stirs Privacy Fears.” The story is about the reversal of an ill-conceived policy adopted nine years ago to limit the use of cookies on federal Web sites. A cookie is a short string of text that a server sends a browser when the browser accesses a Web page. Cookies allow servers to recognize returning users so they can serve up customized, relevant content, including tailored ads. Think of a cookie as an eyeball – who do you want to be able to see that you visited a Web site? Your browser lets you control what happens with the cookies offered by the sites you visit.

We don’t know though.  It maybe a sequel to one of Mozilla’s successful products, the Firefox browser. Cnet.com even said that it is faster than Firefox. The Mozilla Minefield is currently on it’s Alpha version, which means that it’s still on its testing phase.  Developers and even experienced internet users who want to have a first-hand browsing experience with Mozilla Minefield are encouraged to download this new browser.  As it is on its Alpha version, Mozilla Minefield is provided without any guarantees of stability, so use it at your own risk.

An Associated Press article quotes J.P. Wieske, a lobbyist for an insurance coalition, as saying that “‘This is the hottest trend in mandates we’ve seen in a long time…..It’s hard to fight them.’” Notable in the Associated Press is mention of families with older children—-11, 12 (same age as my son) who are using ABA therapy. It’s noted that, while there are studies arguing for the benefits of ABA therapy in younger children, research supporting its efficacy for older children are “sparse.” Some states require beha...

For the past two months, he’s been typing in “Barney” and “school” or “good day good night” and sitting on his knees to watch the old familiar scenes. It was in mid-September that he discovered “Let’s Play School” and that’s been the main one he watched, as I realized just how deeply I have indeed memorized many a Barney song (”butterfly, butterfly, fly fly away”&#...

An informative article about this release and Microsoft’s rapid effort to catch-up using IE-8 was recently published by PC World. I strongly suggest that you download Firefox 3 directly from a Mozilla site. As I write, this site is still devoted to the download of Firefox 2.0.0.14, however.The good people on the Firefox 3 project are trying to set a Guinness World Record for downloading software in a single day. My best guess is that they will achieve this, because there is currently no such record in existence.More importantly, I recently tried to download Release Candidate 3 of Firefox from other sites, and while beginning to install, they displayed instructions in a language ...

There are zillions of excellent plug-ins available for Firefox, and one of my favorites is Googlepedia, a mashup between Google and the Wikipedia.Googlepedia modifies the behavior of the little Google search box in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox window. When you type in a search phrase such as "rickets", the result comes back in a split window. On the left hand side of the split is the usual Google result for rickets. The right hand side of the split window shows the Wikipedia result for rickets.Since the answers I need are often on the first page of Wikipedia, Googlepedia saves me the trouble of clicking through there for quite a few of my searches.

Adding pictures relevant to or descriptive of your blog post is one of the proven ways to attract readers, make them stay and read your posts further. There are several options you have to add images to your posts. You can either manually search for photos then post the image to your blog (what you call hot linking) or upload it directly to your website; add your hosted images from image-hosting websites like Photobucket, ImagesHack, and the like; and use an amazing plugin for WordPress users called Photodropper. 2.

One of those things happened on Monday. Somehow, I lost Firefox. The browser would load and display itself but would not connect to the Internet. Sometimes, like its owner, this computer becomes a little unstable and ... just does unexpected things. I would say I had no idea what caused this malfunction, but I really had about 20. The first idea on my list was that Comcast might have done something "funny." Its toolbar will only install on IE7, so that's where I started. I switched to IE7 and was again in contact with the world, albeit at what seemed like a snail's pace. OK. I knew the computer could access the web sometimes.

For me a definition I like is Web 2.0 is "The Web as a Platform". But what exactly this concept means? I am going to explain it in my own words, with no technical terms. The Web as a platform means that "if you want to do something with the computer you will do it online by using the browser. You do not need to install nothing or almost nothing at all in order to do that".
