IE9, FF4 Beta In Real-World Use Face-Off
An anonymous reader writes "Most browser benchmarks are isolated, artificial tests that can be gamed by browser vendors optimizing those specific cases. With only those benchmarks to go on, the folks at LucidChart were skeptical that the IE9 beta would actually outperform other modern browsers in real-world applications. To separate hype from reality, they built their first browser benchmarking tool, based in LucidChart itself. This benchmark is to SunSpider what a Left4Dead 2 benchmark is to 3Dmark Vantage. Product specs don't matter, only real-world performance on a real-world application. The results were surprising. IE9 held its own pretty well (with a few caveats), and the latest Firefox 4 beta came in dead last."
... it took Microsoft to finally produce a web browser that performs as well as other browsers were doing in their previous generations, and meanwhile the one they actually have in production (IE8) sucks eggs. So what else is new? Have they got a modern filesystem yet?
Your country functions by having a huge cheap workforce of illegal immigrants so of course nobody in Federal Government is really going to do anything to stop that - not Democrat and not Republican. Also whoever wrote that stuff needs to learn how to use English and what a dictionary is for - "communist" means something completely different instead of just being a generic swear word.
