Terminally Incoherent more like Terminally Incorrect

Over at Terminally Incoherent Luke tries to stereotype users who use specific web browsers. At least for me none of findings work, at all.

What Luke has to say about IE 6.0

You probably don’t know what a’browser’ is and you think Internet is IE. You have no clue about technology, and you are generally afraid of computers. You also use your machine only for IM, chat, email and myspace. Your friends keep telling you about that ‘Fried Fox’ thingy but you don’t really understand this stuff and never really had time to look into it.

There isn’t a single piece of truth in any of that. I use IE 6 for sites that require it.

I have also used IE 7.0

You consider yourself to be on the cutting edge of technology. You think that Microsoft is the greatest company on the earth, and that this evil ‘Lenoux’ operating system is made by terrorists. You have a poster of Steve Ballmer on your wall, and you want to be like Bill Gates when you grow up. When you think about Vista you get goosebumps and shiver with excitement.

Again not a single piece of truth. I use IE 7 one to test my sites to see how they look and two to check out the features of IE 7 since at some point I will need to support it.

I also use Firefox 1.x which is the browser I use most of the time.

You are most likely a little bit geeky and proud of it. You are a strong supporter of the Open Source movement, and you think that RMS is ‘the man’. You really don’t care if FF is faster, or safer than IE - you would use it even if it performed 10 times worse. You are just happy that you have a free, open source browser with a huge community that is supporting it. At any given time you have installed at least 7 extensions that you couldn’t live without.

Finally some truth, yeah a little bit geeky and proud of it, but that’s about it. And if FF performed 10 times worse than IE I wouldn’t touch FireFox. I use FF for the tabs, once IE 7 is released that might become my main browser again.

On Terminally Incoherent Firefox is the most popular browser, but on HouseofMike IE rules. Web browser breakdown for the month of August for HouseofMike, this doesn’t include my browsing or any browsing from my work place.

MS Internet Explorer 76.5 %
Firefox 14 %
Unknown 3.6 %
Safari 2.8 %
Opera 1.6 %
Mozilla 0.7 %
Netscape 0.2 %
Camino 0.2 %
WebTV browser 0 %
Lynx 0 %

What type of hero would you be?

Take the quiz:
What type of hero would you be?

Paragon
You are what people often refer to when they call people a hero - couragous, brave, just and virtuous (if a little stubborn). You are strong and concerned with bringing bad people to justice so that everyone else can live happily. You strive to set an example that others will follow, and more often than not you succeed! Just don’t let your pedestal get too high, or you’ll lose sight of what’s important.

Who the heck is Paragon anyway?

The fight for net neutrality.

http://www.wearetheweb.org/

I am totally in favor of net neutrality. I already pay my ISP for internet access and also pay my webhost for this site. Why should I have to pay extra for my site to reach your computer? I shouldn’t, no one should. It makes sense unless you are a telco trying to make another buck.

In regards to the video, pretty funny. I didn’t think Peter Pan would sound like that.
They even worked in the dancing baby. I remember when he was first ‘born’.
Man, I’m so Internet old.
