At the BlogOn conference, a Microsoft presenter asked his audience how many of them used Internet Explorer, and not a single person raised their hand:

Probably 99 times out of 100 when he asks that question all the hands go up, right? Well first there was a pause and then a giggle and then a whoop of laughter as the audience looked around and realized that NO ONE had raised a hand. The presenter was thrown off his mark, but he recovered and said, “Wow! Okay how many of you wish we’d fix IE so you could use it?”

Still no hands….

Informal survey afterwards said the Windows users in the crowd were all using the latest Firefox. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Mozilla ended up winning in the end?

I have to say, this is one of the more entertaining eBay descriptions I’ve read in a while.

First, Washington Post Makes Printing Error and writes a story about the Boston DNC, and headed it “Election 2000.” Meanwhile, back in Oregon, the Oregon Blue Book has the “Dairy Mural to Debut at 2004 State Fair” as well as a couple other articles listed under the “July 27, 3005” date. Thanks Barney for both tips.

Since you all seem to think I was losing my mind last night when I said OregonLive’s site was wonky, so here’s a screenshot. It was like that for at least an hour and a half last night (as Barney noticed it at around 9:00PM, and I checked again at 10:30 and it was still there).

Go to OregonLive’s Front Page. Now. Looks like the site’s been caught with its pants down (“Link Goes Here” text, generic graphics, etc…). Thanks Barney for the tip. I’ve got a screen shot if it does get fixed (though it’s been like that for about an hour).

Update on 7/26: No, I have not lost my mind. Here’s a screenshot.

You probably know about BugMeNot, the essential tool to get by user registration on news sites. As a very well done joke, they’ve decided that they want to “create a better online experience” and have a registration form as well. It asks questions about religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, income, bank balance, how much you spend on herbal supplements and prescriptions, if you suffer from sexual dysfunction, how many times you have sex, and if you’ve ever fantasized about killing your boss. Priceless. Link via Waxy.
