microsoft announced internet 9 has a traction protection policy on it. what specifically do you think of that technology? it includes a component of various groups, individuals, you know, even government agencies, i suppose, to draft their own lists of sites that are green lighted or red lighted. it's the networks you would and would not see. what do you think of that particular functionality? >> first, i want to commend microsoft for doing this and giving consumers real choice by being tracked. it's part of the reason we put out an early report because we want feedback. that is an approach you can take to block third party cookyings, but it creates a red light site and green light site, and so i think what they're doing is really an important step forward. we'd like to see other technology companies, and we've been talking about them in browser vendors as well, and i think you'll see that, and we're hoping that the advertising community will also support this. >> speaking of the advertising community, here's what the interactive advertising bureau had t
