ONE OF USUAL ways to learn more about a particular product is simply typing the name of the product with www. as a prefix and .com as a suffix.

However, we received an e-mail from young Croatian couple who found a different result on their IE7 search.

Since the battle against upcoming Internet Explorer 7 may decide the browser wars, FireFerrets are leaving nothing to chance.

If you type www.ie7.com, you will be taken to a website with a Godzilla-sized banner and a link to the official site of Mozilla Foundation.

The domain authors claim that neither the site, nor Mozilla, is connected to Microsoft. Open Sauce indeed. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
