Redcannon Security Inc.’s Fireball KeyPoint appliance provides a secure computing environment, enabling remote workers to access and transport files, browse Web sites, or check e-mail from Windows-based kiosks or home computers. The Fireball KeyPoint is a beefed-up USB 2.0-compliant memory stick that comes preloaded with software to detect spyware and keystroke loggers. KeyPoint also has an Advanced Encryption Standard-encrypted vault for secured file storage and features a self-contained Web browser and POP3 e-mail client that leaves no traces of activity on the host computer. When the KeyPoint device connects to a host with network access to the management server, the device contacts the management server, which redirects the device to the share. The device automatically downloads and applies any new policy information. The device’s spyware scan runs quickly and identifies all manner of spyware, keystroke loggers, dialers and Trojan horse applications. KeyPoint’s strong browser capabilities were a pleasant surprise--one could load Java applets and ActiveX controls and were able to get full functionality from an Outlook Web Access e-mail application.

The Internet, although it is in Widespread use in medicine, to the authors' knowledge has not been tested rigorously as an educational tool. The authors investigated, as a model to validate Web-based education for physicians, the Gleason grading of images of prostate carcinoma tissue specimens that were obtained by needle biopsy, which provides critical information for patient management.A free, Web-based program (available at www.pathology.jhu.edu/prostate) was developed. It consisted of 20 pretutorial quiz images of prostate carcinoma specimens that were obtained by needle biopsy for grading, followed by 24 tutorial images with text describing the Gleason grading system. Subsequently, pathologists took a posttutorial quiz, which consisted of the same 20 images that were used in the pretutorial quiz.In 16 months, there were 2021 visits with 916 participants completing the entire Web site; 643 participants (70.2%) were practicing pathologists and formed the basis of the current study. Only the location of practice within the United States compared with outside the United States (P 0.0001) and 5 years in practice (P = 0.003) were correlated independently with a higher pretutorial quiz score. Overall, the Web-based tutorial significantly improved grading in 15 of 20 images. Of these, on average, there was an 11.9% increase (range, 6–25.3%) in assigning the correct Gleason score. Improvements were noted in images of tumors with the following grades: Gleason score, 2–4 (0 of 1 images); Gleason score, 5–6 (5 of 7 images); Gleason score, 7 (4 of 6 images); and Gleason score, 8–10 (6 of 6 images). Greater improvement after taking the tutorial was correlated with lower pretutorial scores (P 0.0001).A Web-based tutorial improves the accuracy of Gleason grading of practicing pathologists. To the authors' knowledge the current study is the first large scale, international study that has evaluated and validated the use of a Web-based program to educate a population of Widely dispersed physicians.

The article reports on the launching of free open source software called Gears to help developers make Web applications work in offline mode by Google Inc. Gears is a JavaScript Application Programming Interface (API) that works with a plug-in for most browsers. It states that Google's offline move sets up a confrontation with Microsoft, since the capability addresses a glaring weakness in many online applications. Gears by Google makes browser-based applications more of a threat to Microsoft's business model of getting people to pay for software. Moreover, getting online applications to run well offline is certainly good for Internet users.
