IE And Mozz Collaborate On RSS Icon

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the working-together-to-make-the-internet-better dept.

sylverboss writes "The Microsoft Team RSS blog is reporting that IE7 is adopting the RSS icon used in Firefox. They all agreed that it's in the user's best interest to have one common icon to represent RSS and RSS-related features in a browser. The increasing collaborative efforts between the browser vendors in the last few weeks is an honest attempt to create a standard Web interface for everyone, no matter what browser is used."

  1. Who cares about RSS?! I want CSS fixed! by FatSean · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    RSS is lame anyway, wow a real technical achievment there. CSS is much more important to the average user's experience and for giving developers more time to spend on things other than handeling browser quirks.

    or obsessed with tabs.

    Because when I read a book, I like to open a new book every time I have to turn a page.

    Perhaps you should think about who it is that is stuck in 'obsession'.

    But, I am curious about your 'bugs'. Was it a firefox issue? Did you test the same sites with firefox on other machines? Also, keep in mind, there are some web designers who were TAUGHT to write pages for IE. If its a tag that only IE uses, why would you expect it to work in firefox? And if the website you are visiting only writes in IE, are they really going to be telling you anything important?

    It seems to me that the problem may be the way Windows interfaces with your video card and the way it is processing images. I have seen it before, and will see it again. So dont be so fast to assume the problem is a 'bug' in firefox. It may just well be that windows is shitty everywhere and moving one toothpick brings the whole thing down. Were they arrogant, as you say? Not anymore than you are when you assumed the problem was with firefox and submitted a 'bug'. Hopefully, you submitted something with more substance than, "It doesnt load pages right". Perhaps with a log file, and a running process list at the very least. It seems like you have a nasty habit of externalizing your own character flaws into the outside world.

    Obsessed? Arrogant?

    From my side of the fence, based on the information you wrote yourself, those two traits describe you, not anyone or anything else.
