Stupid m$ft

As a stockholder, it just isn't right for me to say this.... Oh well. Microsoft stinks.

Derek, if you ever read this, I'm pissed right now so discard your already saved Linux Rulz! email and consider my state of mind.

Microsoft has a lot of great things, but the important thing to me right now is Internet Explorer (IE). Turns out they patched IE to handle the word "embed" differently and now you, as a IE user, have to click on any piece of flash in order for it to run. Before we debate security and the impending doom of Microsoft, just do like everyone else has, and get firefox.

Firefox is a new(ish) web browser, built by a group of people, and completely free. It is fully customizable and includes tabbed browsing. Checkout the picture below, I've got a bunch of webpages open, all in one browser, with a custom theme and weather at the bottom. One application. One space on my taskbar. One awesome web browser:


On a sidenote, I've been a devoted firefox user for quite some time now, ever since it was available. I just want to make sure all users can view our website, so I have to test firefox and IE. Drag.

Don't forget to get firefox.
