Google Sidesteps Internet Explorer Cookie Settings

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/02/20/google-bypassing-user-privacy-settings.aspx

Windows Internet Explorer Engineering Team Blog:By default, IE blocks third-party cookies unless the site presents a P3P Compact Policy Statement indicating how the site will use the cookie and that the site’s use does not include tracking the user....For example, here is the P3P Compact Policy (CP) statement from Microsoft.com:P3P: CP="ALL IND DSP COR ADM CONo CUR CUSo IVAo IVDo PSA PSD TAI TELo OUR SAMo CNT COM INT NAV ONL PHY PRE PUR UNI"...Technically, Google utilizes a nuance in the P3P speci"cation that has the effect of bypassing user preferences about cookies.

Are Ebooks Trapping Libraries?

http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2012/02/ebooks/penguin-group-terminating-its-contract-with-overdrive/#comment-11143http://plablog.org/

Nate Hill (The PLA Blog):While I’m troubled by the many difficulties public libraries have lending ebooks, I’ve been focusing instead on the many examples of public libraries reconsidering their mission and becoming creative hubs for their communities.
