In case you are wondering what Internet browser I use … below is a screenshot of the Quick launch toolbar in my Windows machine … not necessarily in order of preference.

The Internet Explorer is IE 8. Firefox is v 3.0.1. Opera is 9.5.1and Safari 3.1.2.

my web browser

I use IE mainly for Microsoft sites. My primary browser is Firefox, mainly because of the cool add-ons especially the web dev toolbar. I know I can probably use the “run as IE ” addon for Firefox, but hey you can never uninstall IE can you. I am gradually trying to shift to Opera though. Safari, I simply don’t care and I think the only reason I installed it is to get rid of the annoying “upgrade” Apple was offering as part of its iTunes/software upgrade.

I saw this on an RSS feed somewhere and went down to further investigate. This is definitely funny where the neutrality of Net Neutrality article on Wikipedia is disputed. While this is standard practice on Wikipedia where any disputed articles or hotly debated articles are branded under this category, the picture is definitely funny.

A CAPTCHA (an initialism for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”, is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human. A common type of CAPTCHA requires that the user type the letters of a distorted image, sometimes with the addition of an obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen.

Okay so I get the funniest thing in the mail today. A buddy of mine apparantly got this while he was associating his GMail Id with one of Google’s Orkut Service. He gets the CAPTCHA as “retard”
