Internet Explorer 9 Caught Cheating In SunSpider
dkd903 writes "A Mozilla engineer has uncovered something embarrassing for Microsoft – Internet Explorer is cheating in the SunSpider Benchmark. The SunSpider, although developed by Apple, has nowadays become a very popular choice of benchmark for the JavaScript engines of browsers."
Microsoft knows that they cannot win on a level playing field. Microsoft knows they are unable to compete without having their finger on the scale. So they cheat.
Because explanation number 2 doesn't feed into the hatred of Microsoft and create all sorts of controversy in order to drive more ad revenue?
Microsoft, cheating? Umpossible!
They ALWAYS cheat because its not in their organisational capacity to deliver something good. They deliver mediocre and then warp the surrounding world into their own desired image.

Why would Microsoft be embarrassed by business as usual?
Fear not, Slashdot, for I have read the fucking article!
The unnamed "Mozilla Engineer" didn't even bother adding his 'true' and "return' to non-sunspider code, but has the balls to declare that the only possible reason for the negative performance when added to the sunspider code is that Microsofts JavaScript engine is cheating.
Now, maybe Microsoft is cheating here and maybe they arent, but in this article the conclusion obviously preceded the result, that this unnamed mozilla hack didnt even do any of the extremely simple things that might nullify his hypothesis.

Are you calling me stupid? Because I'm sure you're not implying that I misquoted that on purpose.
