Slated to appear in IE8 Beta 2, which Microsoft former chairman Bill Gates promised will release this month, the three new tools share the "InPrivate" name, which Microsoft filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office several weeks ago.

Link to article.

Noob masturbaters rejoice. When I say noob masturbaters I mean people who don't already have the knowledge/sense to clear their cookies, cache and browsing history after their done wiping up. I'm primarily a Firefox user, so this doesn't mean much to me. I'm just waiting for Mozilla's attempt (as it states in the article) to "add similar features". Nonetheless I'm still interested in both of their attempts. Who knows, if Firefox's try at it beats out IE's then maybe more people will switch. -

- and by people I mean chronic masturbaters.

Who doesn't? Sometimes it's nice to just turn it up and let your girlfriend hear how you get off at night..when she expects it to be her. Truth hurts.

That's actually funny though xD

Also some people may just be curious about what the **** "porn mode" could possibly be. Personally I thought this was going to be something completely unrelated to porn and just a joke title of the OP's, but I guess that's just me.

In any case, IE7 sucks balls so I won't be getting IE8, since I'm assuming they use the same horrible interface and crap tabbing system (OMFG FIREFOX GUIZ).

Uhh, it is something unrelated to porn. It's not especially for porn, and it's not officially called porn mode. "Porn Mode" is simply the nickname given to it, and not by the developers.

**customstuff** · 08-26-2008, 07:54 PM

LMAO. That's actually really funny.

**x After Dawn x** · 08-26-2008, 07:56 PM

I thought that said "April 1st, 2008" for a second, but to my surprise, this is actually real...

**bender5** · 08-26-2008, 07:59 PM

GG microsoft, way to allow all sorts kids around the world to watch porn without their parents or anyone else for that matter knowing!

**igotrhythm** · 08-26-2008, 08:06 PM

One question...if you look at porn, why the hell aren't you using your own computer to do it?

The last part made me LOL, though.

MrRubix · 08-26-2008, 08:07 PM

Hell yeaaaa.

**Adamaja456** · 08-26-2008, 08:09 PM

I watched some THS! Investigates a few months ago and it said ~70% of all adult males watch porn so it's gotta be a useful feature.
