Hari_Nezumi October 9, 2006 1:58 PM	Internet Explorer has upgraded and has taken a look that obviously rips off of Mozilla FireFox's more popular design, such as the inclusion of tabs. Discuss.

This isn't exactly new news. I've had IE 7 for months. In fact, the tabs were the only reason I still used Firefox. Now that IE has tabs, I've avoided Firefox except as a backup. I know, I know all you Firefox circle-jerkers love it and everything, but until Firefox caches clicks and performs to the specifications I require (which IE currently does), I'll continue using IE.

*prepares for an onslaught of Firefox fanatics to get offended and try to convert her to their cause, as if brower preference was as important as solving world hunger*

P.S. Oh noes! A piece of software now has features that a previous piece of software had! It's obviously a ripoff! Let's all storm someone's castle and cite our indignation at Microsoft ripping off a feature from somewhere else! Because that never happens! And it's okay for Firefox to copy IE features because Firefox is hip and the underdog, not like Microsoft which is a giant huge corporation that eats kittens!

crackpanther October 9, 2006 3:32 PM	I could give a shit that IE now has tabs like Mozilla. But the fact that Microsoft, with its thousands of employees and billions in capital, didn't come up with an idea that simple before Mozilla? That's awful enough to turn me off to the product forever.

boorite October 9, 2006 4:08 PM	It never occurs to me to give any thought to what brand of browser I'm using. It's like the TV or the faucets or the carpet.

crabby October 9, 2006 4:09 PM	My carpet had tabs long before Microsoft thought it was a good idea.

I remember when IE first came out. It sucked and anyone could get your info off of it. IE continued to have security problems which is why I stuck with Netscape. Then IE finally figured out what they were doing wrong and fixed it. Then Netscape sucked ass and wouldn't load half the time, but everyone had to use it instead of IE because it was uncool to use IE. That was for those stupid AOLers who didn't know better. Now, Firefox is the preferred choice of annoying little smug shits so they can flaunt the superiority of Firefox over IE while still using Windows. And anyone who uses IE is an obvious tool of Big Software and needs to be taught better or else the world is going to implode.

I don't hate Firefox. I like it just fine. I like it in the same way I like my discount tube socks. It's cheap, does the job, and doesn't cause me any hassle, but I really wish there was more substance to it. It's the Firefox users who rabidly proclaim its superiority over everything else that I can't stand.

Also, I can't believe that Firefox totally ripped off IE by adding an autofill function. Can you believe that!? Someone should start a thread about it.

You'd better not send or receive anything in the mail then. Cause that's how my bank account, credit cards, and identity ended up in someone else's hands.

Also, did you know that with $40, a name, and a city you can get someone's SS#, residence and work history, birth date, and criminal records and use that info to buy ballroom dancing lessons on your wife's credit card in Paris? I did it to my mom. While using Firefox.

Yup, I stole my mom's identity using the browser people flaunt as the one that can't let your information be stolen.

That reminds me, I haven't turned AdAware on in a year. I better do that now in case the evil IE has fucked up my computer by importing evil magic leprechauns that will fuck up my computer.

Hey look, no adware or malware found. I wonder how that happened. Especially since I have IE hooked up to an active internet connection 24/7 and constantly go to porn and warez sites. Oh well. Must be a fluke. Yup, I'm just asking for it.

FinnNYC October 10, 2006 9:03 AM	Omniweb had tabs and saved workspaces back in 2000 But it's always been shareware which puts it near last place. IE's spyware/adware auto-install feature makes it an awful choice.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your having been separated at birth from your mother. I've had some friends go through that, and I know how tough it is.
The reunions are often bitter-sweet, but just remember to keep your chin up and take it one day at a time.

No, I did it for shits and giggles because I was fucking bored one day. I've known my mom all my life. Do you want her?
