eBay owned online payment service PayPal has announced that they would soon start blocking access to their services using old generation web browsers.

Paypal said it was “an alarming fact that there is a significant set of users who use very old and vulnerable browsers such as Internet Explorer 4“.

Phishing attacks trick users into handing over sensitive data.

Paypal said some users were still using Internet Explorer 3 , released more than 10 years ago. It lacks many of the security and safety features needed to protect users from phishing and other online attacks.

Details are still uknown but customers will first be warned that a browser is unsafe but could then be blocked if they continue using it.

The end of Wiki ?

The official Google blog has a new post about a new project that’s in closed, private beta.

The program is called Knols, or “units of knowledge.”

Knols participants will write reference pages on any topic, using a Google content creation tool apparently in the works, and those pages will be highlighted in Google search results.

Authors will choose whether they want ads to appear and will receive a “substantial revenue share.”

This has the potential to be very big!
