    Wink Microsoft Firefox

    Well, it appears that Microsoft has purchased Firefox. Tough news! From their new website:
    • Security Status Bar: Enhances awareness of website security and privacy settings by displaying color-coded notifications next to the address bar. Microsoft Firefox changes the Address Bar to green for websites bearing the Microsoft Partnership Certificate, indicating the site owner has completed extensive identity and friendship verification checks. Googling Filter notifications, certificate names, and the gold padlock icon are now also adjacent to the address bar for better visibility.
    • Googling Filter: Proactively warns and helps protect you against potential or known fraudulent sites such as Google.com, blocks the site and shuts down your computer if necessary. The filter is updated several times per hour using the latest security information from Microsoft.
    • Delete Browsing History: Allows you to clean up cached pages, passwords, form data, cookies, and history of illegal warez and propaganda sites - all from a single window.
    • Address Bar Protection: Every window, whether it's a pop-up or standard window, will present an address bar to the user, helping to block malicious sites such as Yahoo.com

    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    My personal favorite from the site:

    1. I use Opera.
    2. that Microsoft bashing is well, boring
    3. I hope they get sued for using some registered logo or so
    4. No, I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, I'm just tired of people bashing them over and over, if you really want to make a difference, forget about your games, become a serious man and boycott them.

    Of course dear Lemur, sorry if I sounded too serious.
    That site just looks like a lot of effort for a simple joke.

    I must admit, that the M$ bashing, for the hell of it, has got rather boring. Personally I avoid their products, and have never bought an M$ product to date, but I wouldn't go and get all fanatical about it. Those sort of sites are still funny though. So long as they're not deadly serious they're ok.

    Lemur... You are NOT a nice man. Jesus you scared me!
    "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
    -- John Stewart Mills

    But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

    Wow who would have ever thought that Mac's are an anti-freedom loving protectionist environment that only plays well with itself unless beaten into submission like a pale zombie in armani pin stripes.
