• Scott Hanselman details how the “unblock” feature in Windows works. Basically, when you download a file with IE, it adds an alternate data stream that specifies the zone the file came from (Internet, Intranet, Trusted, etc.). Even more details on Bart de Smet’s blog.
  • Nick Carr gets off on a rant on Wikipedia, Citizedium and “the truth” that’s pretty funny.
