Is IE Usage Share Collapsing?
je ne sais quoi writes "Net Applications normally releases its statistics for browser and operating system usage share on the first of every month. This month, however, the data has not shown up — only a cryptic message stating they are reviewing the data for inexplicable statistical variations and that it will be available soon. Larry Dignan at ZDNet has a blog post that might explain what is happening: Statcounter has released some data that shows a precipitous drop in IE browser use in North America, to the benefit of Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. At the end of May, StatCounter shows IE usage share (for versions 6, 7, and 8 combined) at around 64%; at the beginning of June it is now about 56% — an astounding 8% drop in one month. We should keep in mind the difficulties in estimating browser usage share: this could very well be a change in how browsers report themselves, or some other statistical anomaly. So it will probably be healthy to remain skeptical until trend this is confirmed by other organizations. Have any of you seen drops in IE usage share for Web-sites you administer?"

Apparently, he is some moron who actually reads the summaries. Go figure.

And you try and tell that to the young people of today, and they won't believe you!
Actually, there's a complex algorithm which looks at people's random comments, and then attaches them to posts where they apparently make sense. It's amazing what modern AI can do to construct what looks like a coherent discussion out of ramblings made at 4am. (It's also responsible for appending [NO CARRIER] and submitting when the connection inexplicably breaks down in the middle of a post.)

Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Only if you're the first person to post that particularly cliche. If you're the second it's -1 redundant. Cliche posters need to have hair trigger reflexes to survive.
It's a bit like "Bark for a dollar!" except the second barker pays the first.
