The Creative Librarian is a hub for matters important to librarians/information scientists of today. There is a definite lean towards electronic issues, however it isn’t restricted to only those.

IE Havok

Internet Explorer Is Too Dangerous to Keep Using

In the few days that the sites provided the Trojan horses, hundreds of thousands or millions of users could have had their credit-card, stock-brokerage and bank-account numbers and passwords stolen.

Emphasis mine.

Now that’s a reason to switch. IE is simply not safe, and since it’s essentially dead for at least another 3 years, it won’t be getting better.
