Ya know, when I hear conspiracy theories about how corporations/governments/interest goups have co-opted the media to spread lies to the populace, I like to think about incidents of ineptitude like this.

It reassures me to think that none of these malevolant groups could ever pull anything as subtle as that off.

Technically it would be the MSN department in responsible for this. And since they are an World Wide Web / Internet group primarily, it would show they are interested in providing a quality service to their customers. Since they know not everyone is going to use IE, its a wise move to be cross platform compatible.

I guess it is a slight slip up to promote their service using Firefox though.

I go with the Photochop theory. Else it would be all over Fark and ATOT by now.

You do realize how extremely easy it would be to crop content into the frame of a browser?

I'm sure Microsoft isn't to blame for this.

Man Firefox fanboys are shovey and insistant :roll: Who wants to be part of a fanbase that constantly tries to boast itself in every opportunity and feels insecure enough to have to constantly juxtapose their browser? So uptight.

1. Maxthon is better out of the box, less configuration required.

2. Maxthon has a much better Super Drag and Drop Feature.

3. Maxthon works with pages built for IE only.

4. Maxthon has better toolbars.

5. Maxthon has a better Ad hunter.

Yes. Why, would a brazilian site host ONE story in their entire site in ENGLISH? And the oddly the site doesn't even orginate from Brazil...
