[ale] Totally OT

Forced to use IE for a few days, I noticed something interesting:
If you have your "home page" set to about:blank, then open Explorer,
and pull down the Address list in order to select a URL which you have
visited recently, but don't click on any URL, there is some data transferred
over the net.

Now, I'm not paranoid or anything, but just what info gets sent out, and who
do you suppose gets that info? Hmmm? Bet someone on this list knows.
