Me too. I started with Netscape. I never used IE and I marveled at people who kept using the rusty and bent piece of junk IE6 was when the rest of the world had moved on.

Those were very dark times. Sometimes I would go to a 'website' only to find out that it really was a .exe file that IE could run (of course with full privileges). My friend, who back then was an avid supporter of all things Microsoft, came to me once to tell me he had been looking for registration keys on the internet and now his computer was infected with so many viruses that it was completely unusable. I laughed and said: I warned you many times to not use IE! He went to FF and never looked back.

I love FF. It has some features that make it much more usable than Safari for me. I never considered Chrome because I'm happy with FF and see no reason to change browsers. And now I have an extra reason not to change.

And what's wrong with buying something expensive because you have the money and you like it?

So you didn't watch out otherwise you would have known she was behind you on the road bike.

So because they couldn't help you all physicians are useless? How self-centered and arrogant.

That and posting as Anonymous Coward... what paranoia! :)

You burn methane, not O2. I guess for a non-chemist that's nitpicking though.

I think Steve would turn in his grave at the sight of iOS 7. He always made sure the effects that were there in 'his' OS's were functional and not just for show. iOS 7 is full of showy animations.

You can't burn O2. You need O2 to burn methane.

I was thinking more about taxis filled with empty beer cans, vomit, excrement and graffiti. I can think of even worse things, but here in Amsterdam these will be the norm quite soon I'm afraid.

I think I forgot more than ME/Phone/Mobile but the list I came up with just popped into my head.
About the table: it was really innovative and a useful product. I once used it in a museum and it's very responsive and easy to use. Maybe the reason that MS didn't promote it was that is was/is not something that is very useful in a business. It could make a very cool coffee table though.

Many people here forget that Innovations aren't always successful. MS has put quite a few innovations on the market:
MS Bob
The stupid paper clip
That table on which you can move windows around with your hands
MS Outlook
Kinect
WP 7
Windows 8
I would say only two of them were successful: Outlook and the Kinect.

Whoever thought of MS as some sort of technology/innovation superstar company? Most of their innovations failed (remember the stupid paperclip?) and the only thing that didn't fail (MS Office Outlook) was horribly unsafe for a long, long time.

I clicked on all the links but I didn't find the bloody video. Where is it?
