    You really had to fight hard for that mod down and the inappropriately applied "flamebait". My comment is not flamebait, it's a response to flamebait. His hysteria and fanboy-ness is in his sig. Use your mod points wisely. If it's my claim that you're hissy about, then do your research. IE and Safari run faster in their native environments. Do you really think the average user wants to embrace a perceived "inferior" browser (i.e. Chrome and Firefox) with a non-native interface? The user is only motivated to change from the default option when they experience issues or are discontent by performance. Do you know how many years it took to even market FF to the general public? Think about that.

    The battle for free speech is continuous. Everyone's trying to mod you down.

    Surprisingly enough, 1.34 billion people have to eat. Chinese agriculture, due to millenniums' of innovations, have been able to sustain and populate their people. But for how long? "Communism" in China just makes sense. But there seems to be an inherit problem with their form of "communism", just as their is an inherit problem with North Korea. They cannot become super powers. Since the governing bodies must retain control through subversion, propaganda, and censorship, their power is limited by their national resources. Kim Jong Il has garnered support and love from his people by portraying himself as a god-like figure. One that veil is removed, what then? Keep in mind, the majority of North Koreans haven't known what the internet was since 2009. They believe the world loves him. It would make sense that there is a peaking point and an eventual collapse for China, that is if China doesn't attempt to expand their borders and resources through warfare.

    This.

    Last time I tried to regulate my prescription of oxycodone, I was found at the kitchen table with my face in a soup bowl.

    I had been there for three hours.

    When I woke up, I asked why my soup was cold.

    This is not funny, just hysterics. Get over it, Fanboy. Cayenne8 is right. If it's Windows, it's running IE... Why? Because it's faster. If it's Apple, it's running Safari... Why? Because it's faster.

  9. These stats seem irrelevant, if not inaccurate. on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 1

    We would all like to see the average internet user be weaned off of IE. But how viable are StatCounter statistics? They have 3 million sites in their network, sites that I have never read or visited. Their network seems to consist mainly of individually-run content providers, most of them stagnate.

    I would say Wikimedia's stats are much more relevant and precise. It seems like these browser statistics articles just want to believe Chrome is *this* popular, when in actuality it may not be.

    I support about 30+ clients (some Fortune 500s) and the demographic is primarily U.S. On some sites, I see Safari usage is more than Chrome and FF combined. By the most non-bias sites*, browser usage appears: IE (primarily IE8), Safari (including mobile), Chrome, FF. From my stats, I can only deduce that Safari is heavily used in the U.S., and Chrome and Firefox not as much.

    If you care to and can share, what are your stats?

    *The non-bias sites are primarily larger tourism resorts since I presume they are being visited by home/personal computers which represents their personal browser preference than company policy.
