Tech> Stupidity> Copy-Yahoo-Paste-Google
Google promotes IE7. I'm quite ashamed that Google would do this. I don't even care about the competitive position - I only care about the fact that Google is promoting a program in a sub-standard line of programs, and one that is only available on the most miserable platform of all: Windows.
I don't know* what went wrong, but sure enough, looks like Google hosted and promoted a page with code copied from Yahoo!, and an image with the Y! logo just blurred off - not even substituted by a Google logo, but just blurred away. Miserable.
*as always if posting something about Google. See footer.

Ok, I'm going to get beer spilled over my shirt for this, but very early yesterday morning I actually considered switching back to IE :)
The main reason is that after I upgraded to Firefox 2.0 (Windows), the bugger started to crash at least five times a day. I've removed all thee Add-ons and reinstalled it, but nothing seems to help. After about 10 crashes I need to reboot to even start it.
IE7 seems also to be a little faster than Firefox in rendering. Some of the sites I read daily, like www.taloussanomat.fi uses the font smoothing feature that only IE7 has by standard. And every now and then I just need to have a support for ActiveX.
See how far I've become from an Amiga-geek I was just 10 years ago :)
