I'm a web developer first and foremost so this comment really hit home.
And it was found on a Slashdot article which makes it better/worse. It's the first comment down and I doubt it will move down from the top.

I once joked with a colleague that Internet Explorer has probably wiped billions off pounds off the world economy. I laughed, paused for a moment, and realised it's probably completely true. What could the world have done with all those countless hours hacking their CSS to support the trash that is Internet Explorer?
Doesn't it make you depressed?

Good job Simon I don't know who you are but that is spot on.
All this is in response to a Blog posting on the IE blog http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/default.aspx where they release the name of the next IE version.
Name??
Are you freaking kidding me?
What about standards compliance??
What about fixing layout bugs??
I have a real good name for Internet Explorer but I can't write it in this family friendly blog!
Of course fixing these things might impact Adobe's and Microsoft's little Air vs Silverlight war and who would want that?
PS: I hate IE and all the time of mine it has wasted, and to be fair I used to hate Netscape 4.5 just as much for the same reason.
LONG LIVE FIREFOX!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a quick heads up per this OTN thread the Oracle DBA Toolbar for Firefox seems to break sections of Application Express , most noticeably sections of the SQL Workshop. It also breaks Firebug ,and a couple other random addons, so it looks like it is just some javascript or chrome overlap issues.
If your doing Application Express development or just wanting to use Firebug I recommend disabling it or uninstalling it until it can be updated, I'm sure it's not a huge thing or the breaking would be much more spectacular, but considering how busy everybody at at Oracle is going to be very busy for next 9 days it might not get looked at immediately. I'll make to update this post with a big red it's fixed! once it's fixed.
I dropped a couple emails to track down who wrote this but if your the person/group that wrote that toolbar, please contact me I'd like to help out and make sure that it works correctly with APEX.........in about 9 days of course ;)
PS. looks like it breaks blogger as well as I had to uninstall it just to make this post. At least APEX is getting affected along with good company ;)
