Basically, you follow http://twitter.com/tengrand_ie8 to get linked to clues (only viewable in IE8). These clues help you find the hidden page that will win you $10,000.

If I was guaranteed to get the $10,000 I'd switch. I would cry myself to sleep every night over not having firebug but I would switch.

That's a bit cheap.

But you'll never find it using tarnished Chrome.
(So get rid of it, or get lost).


f*** off Microsoft. Everyone knows IE is the s***test browser ever in the history of the entire Universe and all its possible infinite other universes. LOL

what?!? why?

IE8, from what I can tell, is about 1023913921389210483091589457189 times better, if ONLY because it actually supports large file downloads. That alone makes it worth switching, so I never have to hear retarded IE users ask me why their goddamn downloads didn't work

Well for starters I'd have to change operating systems.

I admit, IE8 isn't all bad. Its still pretty godawfully slow. iGoogle kills my dad's PC in IE8 but any other browser is fine and dandy.

In response to Microft Australia's Ten Grand Is Buried Here.com campaign for IE8, here's a Google map mashup where you can dig around for the great treasure that is freedom.



An open browser for the Open Web.


Experience for yourself the browser that has been actively chosen by over 300 million users worldwide and is now the most popular browser in Europe. Don't settle for anything less.

The fastest browser for me is Safari 4. Sadly, it crashes really well too. :( And some javascript stuff fails (specifically loading xml documents). Firefox rules in most cases. I only use IE8 for MSDN subscription downloads.




Posting from Safari 4.
