Check out these hilarious TV spots for the New Jersy based game store Red Devil Games.

BBSpot has a marvelous comparison between IE and Firefox. But they aren’t going to bore you with the “technical details” or “performance specs”. They look at the really important issues like names, mascots, and which browser will help you get laid.

Funny:
• make your own error messages
• Bad driving linked to hormones – proof that women are bad drivers?
• Homebrew Computer Club Newsletter
• False Advertising
• Self destruct buttons for your PCs (site not in english)

Useful:

Blake and Mitchell from Mozilla have posted some details/clarifications to Ben Goodgers announcement.

Lead developer for Firefox, Ben Goodger announced on his blog that he has become a Google employee. Although Google is signing his checks, he will still be working at Mozilla on Firefox. But what does it all mean Basil? Is this another clue that Google will be releasing it’s own browser?

Steve Jacksons Games is releasing it’s games in a digital format (PDF) with no copyright protection! Very cool.

Q. Are the files in e23 copy protected?
A. No. That would interfere with your use of them. We just have to hope that we can sell enough to honest people to make up for what gets stolen by the kiddies and cheapskates.
