Submission + - Hotmail breaks compatibility with Firefox 3 (ebrahim.org) 2

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: According to various reports across the web, Hotmail's full version doesn't work with Firefox 3, and users get the following message when they try to login: You are temporarily on the classic version of Windows Live Hotmail due to an error encountered during login. Before trying again, please clear your cache and cookies. Given that Firefox 3 betas have been publicly available for months, one would think that Microsoft would have tested their flagship email service with the latest version of a browser that is used by over 15% of internet users worldwide.

Seven months after a conclave of scientists downgraded the distant heavenly body to a "dwarf planet," a state representative in New Mexico aims to give the snubbed world back some of its respect. State lawmakers will vote Tuesday on a bill that proposes "as Pluto passes overhead through New Mexico's excellent night skies, it be declared a planet." Actual wording of the resolution.

For many of us old timers and those who had the honor of meeting Clyde, this just causes a belly of laughs and is pure fun. Not to mention a bit of poking sticking in the eye."
