The Worst of MSN.com – Wasting My Time

I use a few different browsers during my working day. To do my simple browsing, email checking, etc etc, I use Google’s chrome – because it’s fast. To do any web development; I use Firefox – because of the plugins. I can’t work without Firebug, the w3c Validator, and the Web Developer tool bar.

But near the end of a project, there comes that time to check the… other… browsers. Internet Explorers 6-8. I don’t use IE for even accidental surfing – strictly for cross browser checking. So I haven’t changed it’s settings or anything, and I’m forced to view it’s default home page.

Yeap. MSN.com.

Somehow, whenever I’m in the middle of debugging a site under IE6, I always manage to learn some new facts courtesy of Microsoft’s top notch web editors.

Bill Gates(‘ company) drops some knowledge on you:

  1. The average annual salary of an janitor… in 1958. ($3,455)
  2. The ever pressing issue of “Who looked hot” at the People’s Choice Awards
  3. Fruit bats get kinky, just like us
  4. Miley Cyrus! Not Hannah Montana Anymore!??
  5. Old people get married at Whole Foods. Good old fashioned, hard hitting online journalism.
  6. Does this city make my butt look big?
  7. Puppy CPR

More to come!
