Walmart Rejects Firefox and Safari

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the also-dalmations-have-spots dept.

babooo404 writes "Last week, Walmart launched their online video download service. Immediately there were posts that the service did not work with the Firefox or Safari browsers. There was a collective, "WTF" when this happened as this is 2007, not 1997. Now it appears that reports are out that Walmart has completely turned off the ability to get into the application at all by Firefox, Safari or any other browser it does not like."

    No shit, I knew that. What I was referring to was the idiocy of the term "Lenovo-compatible PC" seeing as Lenovo didn't have anything to do with IBM during the years in which "IBM-compatible" became commonplace. Lenovo didn't create the x86 architecture, they just bought the company that did. As far as I'm concerned, Lenovo doesn't deserve that kind of credit.

    No... not so be it. When corporations center back to a single source, the community at whole is effected. Now I understand that this Walmart action isn't devastating, it does effect us. Do you want to become South Korea?

    Educate yourself. Oh, and learn the difference between effect and affect.
