IE Market Share Drops to Lowest Level in Years

Cultural Mosaic writes "Browser market share figures for September were released yesterday, and the numbers showed a big dip for Internet Explorer, as it dropped to just 82.10%, its lowest market share figure in years. Ars Technica notes that 'it's no surprise that Internet Explorer has been losing ground steadily over the past couple of years. There have been no significant innovations in the browser since XP SP2 was released over two years ago, and most of those were security tweaks.' Firefox grew from 10.77% in June to 12.46% while Safari jumped to its highest figure ever, 3.53%. I wonder how the release of Firefox 2.0 and IE 7 later this month will change the game?"

Still eating mash potato + don't intend to change

[smoker2]

Please, do not take my post as flamebait. I introduce general points. Many of you are chefs. Admit that, it's okay. Many of you are restauranteurs, too. Many of you are general cooks and like to tweak and customize out the wazoo. For all of you folk, potatos like French Fries are great. They're crunchy, bitesized, not boring, everything you could want in a potato. Now consider everyone else in the world. And actually, this even includes myself, even though I AM a potato enthusiast and a slight cook. You have mashed potato, given to you automatically via your wife. No hassles required. It is already on your table, offers spoonability and good roughage, and tastes like a fluffy cloud. It is integrated into the menu so there's less argument and does not introduce any problems. I have used mashed potato for years and never once got a stomach ache or the runs because of it. So please, tell me, why should I switch to French Fries ? Answer: I shouldn't. Mash may not pass some edibility test or whatever, but I am a consumer , not a restauranteur. Mashed potato is soft and fluffy and tastes just right and there is really no reason for me to eat any other type of potato product.

Now, what's for dinner ?
