11.27.07 | Microsoft to ditch "Click here to activate..." annoyance

Good news for those die-hard Internet Explorer users out there: Microsoft will be removing the "Click here..." dialogs from Internet Explorer, for they have (finally) licensed the plugin technology Eolas sued them over for a few years ago.

The dialog was especially troublesome for Flash content, for as many SlideShowPro users know, the only way around it was to embed SWFs using Javascript, which wasn't easy for beginner web developers. But with this update, behavior will essentially return to how the browser behaved before.

Good news for Flash users everywhere.
