1. Comment - AOL Preparing Netscape Browser 9.0

   (Feb 6, 2007 - 1:47 AM)

   Anyone been to the Netscape.com site lately? Might as well call it AOL too.
   
   Not long ago I tried their AOL Browser. Sweet.. but way too AOL-centric and not usable for someone who isn't using AOL services. They apparently are going to do the same with the Netscape browser but with Netscape.com being so AOL-centric, what's the point? It'll just be another branded browser to a site that slowly no longer holds any meaning to the old Netscape legacy.
   
   Both of the sites (netscape/aol) are also slowly moving away from standards. Try accessing aol/netscape mail with Opera and you'll get a small list of supported browsers. This is true on a number of AOL services.
   
   Since AOL has made the move to the web, their arrogance continues to display in much the same way MS's arrogance displayed a few years ago. You don't enter web services and start locking out users unless they play and pay for your wares. AOL continues to suck on both the Desktop and now the Internet but are too arrogant to get a clue.

2. Comment - Microsoft Offers Money to Edit Wikipedia

   well... if you're going to take this approach, then it makes sense to use someone who isn't an MS troll. Putting them on the payroll is another matter entirely but the guy they are using has clearly demonstrated honesty regarding this situation and provided a ton of background about himself.
   
   For the first time in a long while, I agree with MS on this. FUD is FUD no matter where it comes from and I'm tired of all the BS from everyone.
