So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I love it! Please forward this to Ballmer, it'll give him an ulcer.
If Microsoft loses the war for the defacto browser worldwide, how will they FORCE their pathetic products down peoples throats?

I use FeedDemon to view this blog, which I think has IE built into it. Maybe RSS viewers of your blog have their choice of browser linked to their choice of reader. I havn't done the research, but my guess is most readers use IE.

I'm not right now, but most of the time I use pocket IE on my PocketPC to view Download Squad. I know it has a unique ID (I think it shows up as IE 3), but are you calling that IE or is the PIE market share insignificant?

"This is typed in Firefox 2.0"
I started off using Firefox because of my site. I noticed from my site stats that there were many non-IE users visiting the site, and most of them used Firefox. I use IE nowadays for "backward-ness compatibility tests".
Microsoft coders are either lazy or limited. What Firefox has become should have been surpassed by mighty IE.
Instead, IE is just copying off Firefox's UI with huge performance differences between the two (sites on IE7 load about 80% slower than Firefox!)

"bringing up the rear"
I hate that phrase.

I'll gladly use anything that does not support automatic download of code (like activeX) and unleashes freely on my computer.
It's also good to foster competition, curb monoculture and get yourself away from malware targetting.

Firefox-Users on my German blogs are sometimes up to 45%, the general number ranges more like 35%. I hear so from a lot of my friends.
Normal users may stay away from Firefox - if they had a choice. Every computer I have to support in my family only runs Firefox and IE is crippled so they do not use the other browser. :o)
I did btw just record an audio interview with Tristan Nitot of Mozilla Europe about the rise and success of Firefox in Europe where he talks a bit about why he thinks Firefox is so much higher in use than in the US.

Here in Slovakia, I have always been aware of strong Firefox evangelist community, but 33% - it really surprised me a lot. Great!

If you consider that many bloggers/blogger readers are "early adopters" and heavy users who are not afraid to use software that is the best available, I would be VERY VERY afraid if I was Microsoft.
I think this is the tip of the iceberg. Firefox will ultimately grab 1/3 to 1/2 market share. IE6 was crap and IE7 is not fundamentally better.
It's kind of like GM vs. Toyota. GM didn't update their product often enough and make them world class and look what happened to them
Considering that Microsoft wants to dominate and so much of the software biz is browser dominated, I would put considerable resources into making IE better than FF.

I must say I'm getting sick and tired of this. When was Iceland removed from Europe?
First Google announces they have street maps of Europe (Iceland of course not included) and now this. When will the pain stop?

Hi there
The trick is that many firefox users also are iexplorer users.
