I thank your bad mood for brightening up mine!

That was spectacular and joyful to read and I agree wholeheartedly. The sad thing is that when I was "designing for IE" as a young lad, I had no idea that's what I was doing. "The browser" was what came with the computer and that was Netscape and later IE. It took a while to wean myself off of :

  if (document.all) { }

And when I discovered other continents to explore, I realized I was living in a desolate quarter of Antarctica.

That comment reminded me of the Microsoft ad video targeted at web devs.

Interesting and funny video, regardless of if you think anything changed.

If they really did come up with the Karaoke web standard, my opinion of them will likely soften. Until, of course, developers only start developing with the Non Participant variant, in which case, they can all die in a fire!

My past experience says it will likely be the Old Faded Glory for Firefox and The Unironic Ironic for BB10 with The Clown for Chrome.

Great. Now we have 4 more standards thanks to Microsoft!
