Google Has A Solution For Internet Explorer: Turn It Into Chrome

Brilliant.  Simply brilliant.  Google has released a plugin for IE6+ that will run Chrome inside a frame, thereby allowing users to experience a modern browser and developers to quit coding for a woefully-nonextinct dinosaur.

Microsoft Indoctrinating Best Buy Employees With Anti-Linux Propaganda

How is Microsoft trying to ensure wide acceptance of their new OS?  By lying to the very people that consumers trust to help them pick the right PC (the fact that this trust is entirely misplaced is another story).

Quite simply, MS knows that if they go through another Vista-like release, it’s game over.  Apple and Google (with the upcoming Chrome OS) are in a good position to take even more marketshare if they stumble with Windows 7.

It’s really a shame that Microsoft feels the need to  resort to lies here.  They actually did a pretty good job with Windows 7, and it would stand on its own without spreading a bunch of FUD to the Blue Shirt “experts.”

Is IE8 the end of the line for Internet Explorer?

I really hope so, but I’ll believe it when I see it.  There is speculation that Microsoft will switch over to Webkit, the engine used by Safari and Chrome.  If they do, I’d like to see Mozilla and Opera switch as well.  A single standards-compliant rendering engine across all major browsers would be a boon to future web development.

Man Assaulted for Being Linux Advocate

The Geek Squad is starting to fear for their jobs. They count on the revenue that they get from Windows systems that need to be “cleaned up” twice per year. Linux == bye bye spyware…
