Google's Web browser Chrome thrilled with an extremely fast site rendering, a sleek design and innovative features. But it also gets critiques from data protection specialists , for reasons such as creating a unique user ID or the submission of entries to Google to generate suggestions.
SRWare Iron is a real alternative. The browser is based on the Chromium-source and offers the same features as Chrome - but without the critical points that the privacy concern.

Welcome Aboard!
The digital world has long enabled me to keep up with all of you, but I have only my lack of effort to blame. This blog & email list is my attempt to keep you up to date with my life, and help us stay in touch.
You can catch the blog at www.abelsussman.blogspot.com
Since this message is public; I’m keeping everything slightly sanitized. Privacy does not exist on the internet. But don’t let that stop you from asking more! I’m happy to catch up by email or phone whenever!
Latest & Greatest information: I just completed a week long course at Yale for executive leadership. For me, the best lectures came from Dr. Victor Vroom (http://mba.yale.edu/faculty/profiles/vroom.shtml) a professor at Yale since the 70’s who speaks about team dynamics and leadership style. For his class we were broken into groups and given a ‘survivor’ assignment: we were all stranded in an island and asked to rank a bunch of items in order of importance as a group. Then we watched the video tape of our breakout to see how our members behaved and came up with ideas on how to improve our team synergy. It was an interesting theoretical experiment.
As part of the class each of us received a personal analysis of leadership style. Mine matches most of Yale CEOs over the past 30 years (go me) except for 1 aspect. I tend to avoid conflict. Interesting. I did try to answer the questions as if I was away from my day job in an ideal environment; so perhaps there is something to the analysis that I need to work on.
What I do from 9 to 5: Currently I am with BearingPoint working as a contractor at the Department of Defense. There I am looked to as a trusted government advisor for overseeing Personal Identity Verification (PIV) compliance and privacy efforts for the Common Access Card (CAC), the largest federal smartcard program. I lead teams consisting of government and contractor resources on mission critical privacy protection issues and policy. One of the major programs I am overseeing is the transition of JPAS (the system that holds security clearances) from Defense Security Services (DSS) to Data Manpower Data Center (DMDC).
What I do at night: I’ve become a huge fan of P90X. It is an extreme home fitness program that has done wonders for my strength and endurance. Within the first 10 weeks of the program I’ve gone from no pull ups to being able to do six in a row. I’ve only got two weeks left, but truthfully, I’m a little burnt out since the program has you intensely exercising six days a week for about an hour.
The upcoming wedding: Yes, finally I’m tying the knot, getting hitched, and slapping on the old ball and chain. We found a great place in Sandbridge, Virginia and are looking forward to a small beach wedding. Look for honeymoon pictures in September.
Birthdays: Who doesn’t appreciate a call on their birthday? Please write back and let me know your telephone number and birthday. I promise to call!
Please let me know if you’d like to be removed. (No hard feelings, I promise).
