Sounds interesting, kind of like the old idea sticking a photo in front of a security camera to fool who is looking at the screen into thinking nothing is happening or perhaps the first step toward a sort of cloaking device provided it actually works as advertised. I wonder if it does work as advertised.

Heh. Don't worry about it, you'll just get even more stress. Like Nandemonai-san said, let us know how you do...

More or less. Not exactly a complex game...

Well, it was bound to happen eventually…thankfully it’s happening now. People are finally getting serious about not using Internet Explorer.

Yatta! I hate IE. I've always been a Netscape man. Despite some problems with playing .wmv files. Netscape's always been good to me.

I hate it too. Whenever my siblings would surf the net, some ad program would infiltrate. Grr.
But I switched to Mozilla, and bye-bye ad programs. 
And I LOVE its customizing, its ability to block pop-ups and ads, its IRC client, and since recently its mail client.
The article doesn’t sound convincing, though.
Go Mozilla!

My relationship with Netscape is odd. I was mainly an opponent of IE and therefore a fan of Netscape.
Then one day Netscape crashed. And then it refused to load. Upon reinstalling the program the problem did not go away.
So I switched to IE.
Several years later my roommate convinced me to use Mozilla. Mozilla is just so much nicer - in fact so much so that IE had to steal Mozilla's ideas.
Stole ideas? Which? I wouldn’t know. Then again, I haven’t ever used the non-Win95-friendly version 6.
This is just something totally off the current topic. But I wanted to post it before I forget.

That was pretty cool. Thanks Seishin-san.

Tabbed browsing and popup blocking. They're putting them in IE in a service pack (which isn't supposed to add new functionality according to their current rules). [Edit: I think I ought to make clear that the functionality isn't in IE yet but is going to be. They had even killed off the Internet Explorer development team, and then when Mozilla started actually being a credible competitor they had to resurrect it.]
Both pieces of functionality were blatantly lifted from Mozilla. Hell, the whole "popup blocking" craze originated with Mozilla, and then everyone is pushing it as some amazing new innovation. It isn't, at least it's not anymore.

Oh? I thought that they pretended that the public wasn’t ready for tabbed browsing. Oh well. As always M$ is ripping off everyone. It never invented anything.
That was cool, Seishin. Thanks for the link.
I think it is interesting they openly say they are working to find the source of the virus but nothing about working to plug the whole in security. Yeah maybe they need to know the virus source first, but some sign they at least have a clue might be nice. Kind of moot for me if they ever fix it or not though since I use Netscape and not IE.

Well, all stand-alone IE development had basically stopped. There is not going to BE an IE going forward - at least, that's the plan with Longhorn. In Longhorn IE will literally not be a separate program. It's being integrated that tightly. So from a certain perspective it makes sense to kill stand alone IE development: the product is obsolete because everyone will eventually move to Longhorn (theoretically), so why spend money developing a product you're end-of-lifing and there is no competition in?
Then Mozilla, which had been limping along for years, finally released a 1.0 - and subsequent versions - and they innovated in a browser space that had not had ANY innovation for a LONG time. Suddenly MS is feeling pressure, but they are necessarily slow to react, because you can't just reactivate a development team that has been closed down. You have to reconstitute it.
In a nutshell, this is why IE lagged behind Mozilla so much. They got caught with their pants down, and it was entirely due to their own arrogance (in presuming to have such a lock on the market they didn't even need to bother going through the motions anymore).

Unfortunately that site uses Flash, and I don't have Flash installed. Someone care to provide a summary?

I don’t know about you guys, but I’d pay a fairly high amount for this kind of information, assuming it in fact was accurate. (then again, it’s already popular enough that people using the predictions, are affecting the outcome…)
