Email Alert Internet Daily for Tuesday, October 23, 2001 by Frank Barnako CBS MarketWatch.com Yahoo co-opts Explorer Yahoo introduced Tuesday an application that makes changes to the settings of Microsoft's Internet Explorer and gives preference to Yahoo's email, search and other tools. The free download program, Essentials, can make Yahoo's instant messaging tool the browser's default choice, as well as add links to Yahoo services in the Start menu of a PC running Windows. It can also make Yahoo's site the default home page for Explorer, and select the online service's email and search functions as the primary choice. Yahoo is offering Essentials "in response to user demand," said Henry Sohn, vice president and general manager of network services. ----------------------------------------------------------------- AOL, Yahoo, MSN to label sites' content America Online, Microsoft Corp.'s MSN and Yahoo have adopted a system to label Web sites to help parents prevent children from viewing objectionable content. Developed by non-profit trade group Internet Content Rating Association, the labeling is included in the Web pages' coding, which can be read by Web filtering software or browsers. Content providers including Playboy.com have also labeled their sites; the ICRA began a campaign Tuesday to encourage others to do so. "Creating safer places for children to use the Internet has long been a part of the overall experience Yahoo provides, and working with the industry to develop the ICRA standard and labeling protocol is just the next step in our efforts," said Srinija Srinivasan, vice president and editor-in-chief. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Net access in airplanes to be delayed Adding Internet access to airlines' in-flight communications systems will take a little longer than expected. But it will happen nonetheless, according to a market analysis by Northern Sky Research. The Cambridge, Mass.-based consulting firm called the concept "viable" and predicted airline user fees for the service would total $804 million in 2005. "Prior to the terrorist attacks, 12 airlines committed to equipping over 2,100 of their aircraft with Internet service," said Karekin Jelalian, author of the report. "The service has understandably fallen as a priority." ----------------------------------------------------------------- RealOne content providers listed RealNetworks said 20 media companies have signed up to provide audio and video content for RealOne, the company's subscription content service. They include CNet Networks, CNN, and the Weather Channel, as well as other content companies that also provide material to RealNetworks' current subscription service, GoldPass. The RealOne service, set to debut next month, uses new software that combines a Web browser and streaming media jukebox player. ----------------------------------------------------------------- For late-breaking market news you can't afford to miss, go to http://CBS.MarketWatch.com/ ================================================================ LOGIN to access your account: https://investing.schwab.com/trading/start ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or modify your Email Alert customization options, log in using the link below or copy and paste it into your browser's address window: https://investing.schwab.com/trading/start?SANC=EAMyAlerts ---------------------------------------------------------------- Notice: All email sent to or from the Charles Schwab corporate email system may be retained, monitored and/or reviewed by Schwab personnel.
