Anti-American coalition of browser users :)

French firm XitiMonitor has published an update to their browser market share data. There are now 6 European countries above 30% market share: Slovenia (approaching 40%!), Finland, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and Croatia.

Interesting spread of numbers - is that a kind of anti-American coalition of browser users or just an alliance of poor new Europeans against Microsoft? :)

Welcome to War! It's even more stupid useless than you could have ever imagined!

I have just read this at some page:
> If Israel loses, lots and lots and lots of people are gonna die.
> If Israel wins, lots and lots and lots of people are gonna die.
> Welcome to War! It's even more stupid useless than you could have ever imagined!
Well, my relatives live near Haifa, so if I had to choose, I would prefer the second scenario, but it is truly so "stupid useless"...

I just looked through aljazeera.net to see what do they say about the Israeli-Arab conflict. Overall they are much more moderate then I expected, and typically show both sides. The only point that appears strongly biased is that in description of the Palestinian refugees problem, they do not mention Jewish refugees from Arab lands at all.

By the way www.flickr.com is currently dominated by Arab photos, especially from savepalestine. It is not clear how many of them are recent and connected to Israeli-Arab conflict at all. I suppose that with all the photos of injured from Hezbollah rockets and suicide bombings this domination could change.

Hm... No comments in regard of mine "In the beginning..."?
Well, few more pictures of eating Internet explorer :)

With teeth:

M-m-m, it is so tasty... And without them:

By the way, it was stormy this June in Boston. May be this is the reason:

And finally, "All you want is love":

In the beginning ... Web 2006

In the beginning ... Well, there was Mosaic browser in the beginning. And now ...

In fact this picture shows the current trend - Web 2006.

It would be nice to depict here all the history of the web (at least of web browsers). So, please send me additional images and your versions of "In the beginning created ??? the Internet and ...".

Nostradamus vs. Dan Brown

2006-06-26T11:38:00.000-07:00

In the year 1555, the most famous fore-teller Nostradamus, predicted that the Spanish team will win the World Cup 2006.
Nostradamus wrote:
Spanish king and his army will cross over the Pyrenees at the end of the sixth month of the sixth year. The king will win the battle with Beelzebub on the fields of Central Europe, and the army will return the Holy Grail to Spain.
The Spanish journalists interpreted the prediction in the following way:

The Spanish king = coach Luis Aragones.
Army = the national Spanish football team.
The fields of Central Europe = the football stadiums in Germany.
The Holy Grail = the World Cup.

Apparently, Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code’s author) had missed one interpretation of the Holy Grail. Did Nostradamus wrote something about the failure of the movie as well? :)
