I remember commercials on TV where they would have "Monster Trucks" drive over a compact disc and then smear it with peanut butter and wash it off and just to show how durable it was stick it in a CD player and have it run without skipping....
It was just a dumb prank that prooved to be a self fullfilling prophesy for a good many years. Maybe this is just the kind of one-up-manship Yahoo needs to make it's employees at least, believe they are actually harder working or more dedicated to their craft.
In any case my allusion above should be enough to show how ridiculous anyone calling themselves the winner in these kinds of battles. IE is hardly superior to most of it's competition these days.

Try to tell that to my MC Hammer CD.
Does anyone remember when IE 5 employees slapped that 10/12 foot giant "e" on the Netscape campus to proove that they "won" the browser wars...?
