HTTP HTTPS

(my last two Facebook posts today – after Tweets on same ...)

How can a PRIVATE notebook on the web open in HTTP and not HTTPS ? But it did and does. Is this why we are to rely on Google and/or Microsoft ? The problem here is not "browser plugins" but something rather more obvious. SpringPad.

Death of the plugin ? SpringPad page in Firefox 13 web browser does not even know that I have their plugin running ! More like a plugin coma. Time for wake-up call? ( see SimpleNoteapp.com for alternative API ) Oh, death of the API's ? End of the programmer ? The End of design, too, I suppose ? Imagination dead. Imagine.

HTTPS defeated by Google

More bad news:

https://search.google.com/ is redirecting to http://www.google.ca/ for my own good, naturally ...

But hey,  https://mail.google.com/mail has been over-llooked for now up at the view from the mountain ...

But Google will find a way to defeat your choice to use that HTTPS URL in personal home page links - and it is for your own good, after all.  Google knows best.
