Sometimes i wonder why people still use IE as their primary browser.

Here are some of the reasons :

  • They dont know there are other browsers too.
  • They BELIEVE all MS products are SUPERB!! (god save us)
  • They dont have an internet connection or any other means to get a new software installed.
  • They work in MS.
  • They’ve never used Firefox.

Now, lets come to the serious stuff.

IE has so many Bugs (and fixes) that One has to select a set of sites to sail through unharmed :)

Consider the following piece of JS code.

<script>for (x in document.write) { document.write(x);}</script>

This is 61 bytes in length. When this occurs in a web page,Internet Explorer throws an exception and quits, taking all your currently open windows with it.So uch for your unsaved work! Firefox handles the code perfectly.

Also i would like to specify that this is only an example of a code snippet that may occur in a web page.Many such instances do occur.

f your browser crashes with just 61 bytes of code, Isnt it time to switch?

del.icio.us / blocked

August 23, 2006

At 3.40 pm today , i tried to login to del.icio.us and bam .. there appears the message..

Blocked

And yes.. i did mail em.. no response till now…

A similar mail from me previously was promptly answered and the problem was corrected… last time that is…

But not this time i guess… I was very impressed with the customer care or user care or whatever it is….

I guess it was all wrong…

Just when i needed the bookmarks listed in my delicious page.. this happens ..this makes me mad…. real angry… hell with these guyz… As useful as this site is, it really tests one’s patience sometimes…
