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."

    Come on, man. The average Wal-Mart customer isn't going to use a credit card on the Internet tubes and allow their identity to be stolen by the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons or the Ilumminati. Sheshhh.....

    35%? -- You ppl are retards.

    Apple has what, 3.5% of the overall market? and *nix-on-the-desktop for people who frequent Walmart probably won't even register on the dial.

    That aside, since even all the "I-just-gotta-be-me" so-called "early adopters" who run NetScrap/FlameWeasel under Windows STILL have IE as a fallback option, those customers aren't lost unless they've drunk so much of the FOSS koolaid that they won't even use IE as a backup, which, in this case I guess, is its own reward.

    So stfu with your rediculous b/s.. 35%...
