    25 megs? What the hell did they put in it? Why can't they just release the damn browser by itself?

    8.2 MBs of browser, 6.8 MBs of Java and 10 MBs of a video clip of Steve Case jumping around like a monkey, screaming, "WOO! HOO! WAA! HAA! Look at me, I'm Steve Ballmer! HEE HEE!"

    AOL Time Warner released the first final upgrade...

    If it's the first one, doesn't that preclude the possibility of it being the final one?

    Doesn't he mean "chunk" of code? Little Freudian slip there? :)

  4. I thought they said they were done with browsers? by Mustang+Matt · · Score: 5, Funny

    Didn't they have a press release about two months ago that said they weren't going to release any more browsers?

    Web developers rejoiced across the world on that day.
