MSIE To Adopt Firefox Feed Icon
An anonymous reader writes " Forbes article is reporting that Microsoft 'forthcoming Internet Explorer 7 browser will adopt Firefox's RSS feed icon, the company announced on a blog--effectively making the orange square with white radio waves the industry standard.' "
I'd like to see dupe control on Slashdot..
They look identical to mind control waves to me.

My true love gave to me:
4 trolls a trollin' 3 goatse links 2 mods asleep, and a dupe from only 4 days ago...
Ok, time for the mods to drink from the kiddy egg nog. Lay off the stiff stuff.
I had thought this was not a dupe, and in fact my time machine had worked =\... Back to the drawing board!
this is some real interesting news. stuff that matters.
It's not the same story. They came from different departments. (from the working-together-to-make-the-internet-better dept. vs from the icons-are-power dept.)
Is there a dupe icon in FF for slashdot to adopt?
In typical Microsoft style, they'll probably change a few pixels making their version of the logo completely incompatible with the industry standard logo.
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?
Not enough can be said about this one icon.

Slashdot to adopt all previous stories.

It's great they didn't feel the need to DUPElicate efforts!
So close and yet so far from the world's perfect ID number
I think I'll run an experiment. I'll submit a story to Slashdot and link to an identical story previously posted on Slashdot. The dupes will compond to make a MEGADUPE.
Either that or Taco won't post anything for a week while trying to figure out if it's a dupe or not.
Microsoft and Firefox agree on standard "dupe" icon!
Where's the slashdot dupe icon for both?
Perhaps someone has reflected Slashdot's RSS feed into CmdrTaco's inbox?

I supplied the transparent pixel in the top left hand corner of the icon and released my modification under the GPL, however I haven't had microsoft coming asking ME if I am ok with this abuse of my copyright.
I am offended.
Last week called, it wants its story back!!
LOLOLOLOLO!!!!!1one1one11!~
I rule.
I think they misspelled assimilate
Except the French. Can't polute the language you know.
Should have been from the "It's-so-unbelievable-we-had-to-post-it-again dept."
They'll find some way to make it evil, or claim ownership. It's in their genes.

Another demonstration of how 2 departments can not effectively communicate with each other.
Representatives of giant Microsoft's Redmond, Wash.-based IE7 team took a vacation in California on the company dime, pretending to have intense negotiations over using part of a GPL'ed product
Wow, it's amazing how well that explains what happenned to metallica.
