Different towers, but Sprint does ROAM on Verizon towers.

It's kinda like getting the best of both worlds.
The point though isn't about the share of all versions of ie, just 6. The point also isn't about how Firefox is the favorite son. The point is ie6 is the bane of the internet and the fact that a singular alternative browser like Firefox (regardless of which version the user is running) has overtaken ie6 FINALLY is a significant triumph. So including ie7 and 8 is irrelevant because both of those do a significantly better job than ie6. Once ie6 is totally obsolete, THEN the other details become relevant.
That's not reliable data. Straight from that site:

"W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers.

These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users."


Given the above, those stats cannot be relied on as a good snapshot of average total browser share when targeting a general public.
I don't see what all this stupid hype is about this "Windows" program! It sounds just like unstable bloatware to me! From what I understand it doesn't even have a true and proper console mode!! WHAT WERE MICROSOFT THINKING.

Besides that all of the software I use isn't supported yet on anything beyond what I have. I CAN'T upgrade until they do.

I'm just so much more familiar and productive with my current OS and I don't know WHY Microsoft have attempted so vigorously to kill it off!

Yes, I don't think I'll EVER get rid of my beloved OS...







MS-DOS 6.22 FOREVER!!
@AVG: "You're just miming a series of dots on a screen."

I hate to break it to you, but when you perform REAL music for a REAL audience, all you've done is still just memorize a series of dots (albeit on paper, rather than a screen).

(Trust me, I was bad nerd.)
What's the point? GameTap has been horribly broken ever since the switch to browser plugin. (Why oh why a plugin? Worst idea ever.)
wow, my choices are pretty off from everyone else.

firebug, firegestures, and xmarks

with close runners up of download statusbar, webdeveloper toolbar, and gmail manager
worth a shot i suppose...
YES PLEASE!!
My proposal to fixing the economy: give me all the money and I will take care of EVERYTHING. *TRUST ME*
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
