HTSF alert! Long awaited strategic product is being released as a test version: Goin' on a Porn-Free Safari Sep. 18, 2000 (PCWorld via COMTEX) -- Even the most Web-savvy parents worry how to keep kids safe on their safaris across the Internet badlands. How do you make pretty darn sure perverts aren't lurking in the tall grass? (Of course, they are; it's the Internet.) The answer from one educational software maker is to build the filtering software into its new Web browser--and to give it a safari motif that, it hopes, will appeal to your ruggies. Heartsoft (http://www.heartsoft.com) is offering a prerelease version of its new Internet Safari browser for free download during the week of September 18. The company expects to update its test-drive software, but it has not set a release date for the final version. Except for the configuration files, the final test-drive version will be the release version. A single-user copy will cost $29.95, a lab pack $139.95, and a site license $459.95. However, Internet Safari has been programmed to update dynamically as you log off. So as the company makes additional refinements, you'll automatically get updates to your prerelease copy of the browser. Early adopters might end up with most of the program without paying a fee. Content Is King Internet Safari's jungle motif is designed to make the Internet good, clean fun. Also, Heartsoft has frontloaded its favorites pages at the top kid Web sites around the world. The developer has partnered with content providers such as Ask Jeeves and Microsoft Encarta to give kids access to search engines, encyclopedias, and more. The Weather Channel is providing forecasts and related information. Free e-mail is offered courtesy of Gaggle, although that site's chat capability is not built into the browser at this time--something that's a relief for most parents. Besides the readymade links, kids can use Internet Safari's Go To button to type in any Web address. The porn checker kicks in wherever they decide to go. The porn blocker isn't just your run-of-the-mill list of censored sites. It uses proprietary image detection and analysis software that reviews graphic images in .jpeg and .gif formats. The program compares the data against mathematical algorithms of the human body. Images that closely match the algorithm are blocked and not visible through the Internet Safari browser. Porn-Blocking Promise Heartsoft is so optimistic about this new technology that it has created a subsidiary, Plug-Inventions Technologies, to develop and market more applications using the technologies. "Our proprietary pornography-detection technology, which was originally developed as a component of the AI-based Internet security software contained within Internet Safari, has shown great promise in opening up new markets which we originally had not conceived," says Benjamin Shell, Heartsoft chair and chief executive officer. Heartsoft has long been a provider of educational titles such as Thinkology and The Heartsoft Bestsellers to schools. Internet Safari represents its first foray into home PCs.
