| | | I haven't looked at songbird since it was first released a couple years ago. I'll have to take another look, although my phone ties me to iTunes anyway. |

| | Slashdot | Site Compatibility and IE8
I noticed back when IE8 was in beta release that many sites that worked fine in IE7 would actually work better in IE8 when not using the IE7-compatibility mode. |

| | | Silverlight... ehh... we'll see. I'm getting somewhat tired of Microsoft telling the general computer science community to go f*** themselves, then creating nearly identical products that do the same thing.
