And as far as adopting tabs, it was a good move by IE regardless of whether it was someone else's idea.

It wasn't the Mozilla teams' idea in the first place either. Opera had it for over a year before the Mozilla fork added it. And UltraEdit had it way back in 1994.

Popular features will always be adapted regardless of who did it first. Same thing applies to mobile phones, gaming consoles, operating systems, etc.

Absolutely. So much the better if the consumer is getting what they want.

Not completely like it, but given the Wii's success Microsoft and Sony are looking to tap into that market with Project Natal and Playstation Move respectively.

But that's not fair. Nobody should copy anybody else ever. It's idea piracy. It's not fair that someone comes up with some idea, like say the mouse or the GUI, and then Microsoft just steals it and makes a trillion dollars off of it. Only one company or person should be allowed to make something, and that's whoever came up with it first. Or better yet, the government.

Can you even access this site without a browser?


Mental telephaty.

You're perpetuating the Polish stereotype.


If you were smart you'd understand my post. Stereotypes... Hah, nice.
Typical American citizen doesn't know where is Spain, Germany or France in Europe. I can start thinking that same situation is in Canada.

Your policemen have killed a man from Poland in Vancouver by stun gun, don't remember? Your country is full of criminals.

I currently have all downloaded (Chrome, Safari, IE and FireFox)

Firefox is definitely my thing, though. Them others are too slow for some weird reason but I do keep some for back-up purposes.

always a good idea. I kept IE on my cpu. I turned on FireFox once and it says FireFox has crashed try again later. So i open up IE, close it, and then Firefox works again! Anybody having trouble w/ firefox should remember that :wink:

Should remember that you believe in some kind of religious ritual that causes the computer gods to bring forth a bountiful FireFox harvest?

I prefer Firefox... Internet Explorer is slower then Firefox.
So: IE 5 (or older) > IE 9

New stable version of Chrome is out. Slight update to the toolbar, kind of like how they've combined the refresh/stop button. Also built-in PDF support.

Was using Firefox 4.0 beta some while ago and suddenly like random songs started playing on my PC (MJ, Britney Spears). I shut down Firefox and every program i was running and it just kept playin. So i had to wait until it stops. Then i switched to Google Chrome, very fast and easy to use but it started crashing alot and then i switched back to Firefox 3.6 which has no problems at all.

Beta or Stable Release? I've found the stable release to be very reliable and pretty much crash-free.

I've never had crashing problems in the Chrome betas except for the one where they broke things for 12 hours.
