Google Bypassed IE Privacy Settings Too

They built the damn browser, they probably built in a hidden access point.

Go find it in the source and I'm sure you'll get all the press coverage you could possibly want.

Companies just want money, that doesn't make them evil it doesn't make them good. It just makes them try and get money however they can \ want.

Companies want money, yes, but *how* they make it absolutely can be evil or good (or neutral or anything in between), and *what* they do with their money falls into that as well.

Don't you dare point out to the Fandroids how evil their company is. They LOVE to believe in their superiority complex over blackberry, iphone and WP users.

Well...to be entirely fair what isn't superior to a blackberry these days? :D This coming from a former crackberry addict.

How evil they are? Man the uninformed make me laugh.

Webkit actually relaxed the security for 3rd party cookies, in March 2010, which is what is allowing this to happen.

IE has had this issue since...well forever basically.

Oh and two Google Software Engineers submitted a patch for this issue with Webkit back in August, 2011.
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/92142

Chrome and Firefox both explicitly block 3rd party cookies, no questions asked. Why doesn't IE and Safari? Guess that's Google's fault too right? :rolleyes:

So why again is Google evil?

I hope you are joking/trolling. So a company destroying your fresh water basin so they can get at the oil/gas in the ground is not evil? Or a company dumping toxic waste in your neighborhood because it is cheaper than processing it is not evil? Or altering the genetics of our food with no testing of how it will possibly affect future generations is not evil?

What could possibly be good about corporations doing this to our environment and people? We wouldn't need government regulation if corporations had as their first rule, do no harm to the environment or people in order to make a profit.

Mostly the deliberate coding they needed to do to use this vulnerability. Kinda simple really.

You mean the thing Microsoft's own support page recommended people do, which is also what Microsoft's site does (Facebook also does it)? The only reason Microsoft made this post is to try and piggy back on the "hate on Google" media train to promote Bing and IE - the reality is that they are just pointing out how out of date and broken IE is.
