Way Of The Dragon: From a distance - 20 paddlers move in perfect rhythm to a muted drum beat, gracefully skimming the water's surface. Up close - determined grunts and strained sinews with oars in grip, dig vigorously into the water. The majestic head of the dragon fronts this contraption but the real heart lies just behind it, at the apex of the bow. Like a conductor of an orchestra, the drummer leads his crew with the calculated beat of his drum. Such is the realm of dragon boating.

It's Microsoft best ever browser (self pwned?)
Not world best ever browser lol.

They use words to hide words.
M$ might be one of the best marketing company but obviously it fall back as IT technology company.

One thing for sure, it's on losing ground, so it need to promote like this, and the whatever US charity meals per IE download. If a product is really good, people will promote it, and not itself.

And currently if I'm not wrong, Aussy has one of the highest firefox users per country as compared to other countries.

Can only be viewed in Internet Explorer 8? They still put proprietary lock-in on IE8?

should at the most be a client detection script then base on that display the stuff if it is IE8.

should be hackable unless the script is server side, but i think even then still can smoke one.
