It’s called logic, you should use it some time..

OK, so Microsft’s website is not working again for the new verion of Opera, so Opera comes out with their Muppet Browser as a protest. To quote:

“”We are saying that it is wrong to corrupt the Web and distort pages like Microsoft is doing by sending Opera browsers what seem to be intentionally distorted pages.”

So in protest of MS intentionally distorting what people see when they visit that site using Opera, you are distributing a browser that intentionally distorts Microsoft’s pages? If “it is wrong to corrupt the Web and distort pages like Microsoft is doing”, (and I’ll agree, it is) why isn’t it wrong to distribute a browser that essentially does the same thing?

Remember when there used to actually be people who took the moral high road? 🙂

    Mike Sanders, blogging’s philosopher in residence, has been having cross-blog conversations about “community”. Being in that same thoughtful mode I was yesterday, (What can I say, my work is lacking in the intellectual challenge department right now!) I would like to add my thoughts on community: When I first discovered the idea of “blogging”, it…

    Dan wrote to tell me about another possible entry into the Freeware News Aggregator Comparison. It’s called Free Reader. Alas, the review will be slightly delayed because said program does not appear to have any options to tell it to connect using a firewall and proxy. So I’ll have to wait until I have some…
