NBC Announced this morning that they will be airing the coverage of the impact live on the Today Show.

LOL...Mod this up!

Mod this insightful! I think you've hit the nail on the head. The average user knows nothing about the browser, just what they want to see. I think since Google is so highly used, if the browser choice is labeled "Google Chrome" a vast majority of users will click on that. On the other hand if it is just labeled "Chrome", then you're right back to everybody clicking the blue "e".

As a former partner with Sun, I strongly believe that Sun's insistence on using an Oracle out of the box solution to for its company wide sales to service system is what caused its demise. This software never worked and increased case handling times in the call center. That decreased customer satisfaction to such a point that customers started going elsewhere. I also believe Sun should have never gotten into the x86 server/workstation market. Instead they should have focused their energies behind their flagship SPARC lines and actually produced a processor of their own rather than buying Fujitu's technology. Overall I think Sun offers superior products, but their customer support system is rather terrible.

It would make sense to me to support as many video formats as possible because it does offload the codecs from the host OS making compatibility between different operating systems transparent. This would benefit the technically challenged people of the world who have trouble pulling up the web browser in the first place! It would also make the job of website admins easier because they would be able to use whatever video format came there way. I'm sure that's not going to happen, so give me as many options as possible. BTW...why are we waiting for these companies to agree to the spec? I believe the spec should be written and if these companies want to be in compliance then they will write the code to support it. Not the other way around. Anyway...good luck HTML5 guys!

What about IE, Chrome, Opera, and Safari users? As of now this solution only benefits a small portion of users. I don't see this being widely implemented at all.

lol...I don't think so. I think that everybody knows that myth is BUSTED!

Fortunately that time of my life has passed. I don't think my wife would like living in the basement!

What were they thinking? I have seen nothing but horrors with Oracle's front end applications. But seriously...how difficult is it to actually implement a decent payroll system?

I'm surprised nobody's sued them yet. If they want to check your background, they don't need your passwords to do that. With the exception of Yahoo!, most of the other companies work pretty well with law officials. Either way, I would not ever apply for a job with them.

DRM is meant to be broken...it's only a matter of time.

Sounds pretty normal for a call center. At my last job management got excited if a case was open for over two weeks regardless if the issue was resolved or not. That's what I call great customer service!

Whoa - I was born in the '80s and I still think vi is my most valuable tool! What else are you gonna use if your box is hosed and you have to edit those config files that you screwed up?

Apple's Mail works just as well as the Gmail interface because it also recognizes the conversations. I guess I will have to wait to see if there really is any benefit to using Gmail's client over Apples.
