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? 🙂

Despite the results, you don’t trust people to do their jobs.

    Today is one of those perfect convergence days, where the first of the month, and therefore month-end reporting, falls on the same day as the first Monday of the month, which means the bi-weekly website database updates, with the added bonus of today being the last day before the election, spurring all sorts of last-minute…

    This post by Meryl Yourish, called Yes, I am a Jew is really powerful stuff. It also has left me feeling rather melancholy, and thoughtful today. (Scary isn’t it?) Not that I’m Jewish, nor have I ever dealt with people who hate me for no reason than my ethnicity. But it does have me wondering…
