Actually, the same dialog with the toolbar options, etc., popped up here after clicking the normal in-browser update popup, but 'skipping' the detritus was no problem. As long as you have the option to avoid the extra baggage, I have no issue with Mozilla accepting a little financial support from Yahoo.

Yep, if i want a slow, bloated over hyped crappy browser i will be sure to use FF. But i prefer a browser that works. FF sucks, it's always sucked and will continue to suck in the future. just sayin'

Quoting Daiwa, reply 24I sense you're holding something back, Nimbin.
moi?????
Yeah, if you're gonna have a bitch about something you might as well let rip 100% and say all that you really feel... don't try getting the point across with half-measures or blunted barbs that have little or no impact. And if you need to use rude words to describe and/or vent, there are some very good replacements, like fech, for example, that should see you get into less trouble with management.
BTW, 'tis good to see you around... I hope all is well with you and yours.

It works fine for me and my 1200 tabs though.

now with a touch-friendly Office released for the iPad, shouldn't the headline be Microsoft puts Metro on the shelf?

The MSO iPad apps function as "Office Readers", unless you have a 360 subscription. Not a stick in the eye, but not terribly useful by themselves, though I suppose you could put some Office docs on your iPad just to look at them or show them off.

That habit will bite you on the backside more often than not.
Sound advice.
