Gradual Panic!

It took us years and years and years to reach Firefox version 4 but with only a few months passing since its most awaited release we already find ourselves ready to download version 6.

(more…)

Update from the GP’s team.

Turns out it was a hoax! It is a clever one at that. It is amusing to see people coming out of the woodwork defending Internet Explorer (why?!).

According to consulting firm AptiQuant Internet Explorer uses have a below average IQ than those who use some of the newer up and coming browsers.

Check out this report from BBC news.

Thanks to Ben for this heads up.

Dear Firefox,

When we met you were chiselled, toned and good looking. You turned my head from the ball and chain that was Internet Explorer and promised me a life of fast, carefree internet and you delivered.

I was your companion through the last 5 regenerations but over time the sheen of our love has faded. You’ve become slow, bloated and unresponsive. Over the years people have continuously fed you burgers and filled you to bursting point. I’ve tried to turn a blind eye but the affects are starting to show.

I know you’ve tried to change (twice in the last few months) but it’s too late.

I don’t know how to say this but there is someone else. Her name is Chrome and she’s sleek, sexy and gives me everything that I ask for without question. She changes whenever I need her to and even lets me play with her more advanced if less stable older sister.

I’m sorry that it’s come to this but Chrome has been asking that she is currently not my default browser. I’ve just said yes.

I wish you all the love and luck in the world but I need to move on.

Regrettably
