Internet Explorer 8 - Beta 2

Almost 6 months after the first beta was launched, today saw the launch of Internet Explorer 8 - beta 2. With a new privacy mode - widely labelled 'porn mode' by the newspapers - it has managed to get more irrational responses than you would expect from the launch of a new browser:

Sick just another way to allow married men to access porn without the wife finding out, bet this and other sites are the reason courts have seen previously very secure 15 year plus marriages hit the rocks when wives dont live up to a sexed-up husband's hard core porn expectations.

I can see this "improvement" being very popular with paedophiles. Transfer all their pics to private online photo browsers, and no need for them to be worried about having their computers seized by the police when this is released.

Who knows why people get over-excited at 'publishing' their angry/ignorant comments on the big public sites, but it reminds me that there was a great post in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago about it: What about are rights?
