    Just to be clear, lots of things on the iPhone would be surprising. An app that streams a videofeed of me fucking my cat would be, to say the least, surprising.

    So let's not solely interpret "surprising" as desired. For my money, it's just a picture of the Thunderbird logo donkey-punching the Apple logo. #mozillaiphoneapp

    As for the Mozilla surprise....Netscape. #mozillaiphoneapp

    Surprise! it's Firefox!

    Nobody's expecting Firefox now, because they're expecting to be surprised, and FF is just too obvious. so now that everyone's ruled out FF from their list of possibilities, it'll surprise them! #mozillaiphoneapp

    Though, as a consolation prize, the iPhone gets this. Personally, I'd love to see a dedicated demented cartoon movie app on the iPhone. #mozillaiphoneapp

    Just have the browsers presented in a circle. Better yet, a circle that rotates, so any future complaints about Firefox not getting a dominant position on the circle can be hushed before they're spoken. #browserballot

    What a whiny bitch. If people want firefox for its features and ease of use, they will click on it. If they want IE because they don't know any better, they will click on it. If they want adherence to web standards, or are lazy, they will click on safari. If they want a browser that guests won't use cause they have never heard of it and don't know its a browser, they will pick opera. Plain and simple. #browserballot

    Since Opera started all of this I would guess the only reason we haven't heard anything from them yet is because they are still drafting up a response.

    This is absolutely ridiculous. It's bad enough that MS is being forced to do it in the first place, but now they even have to put themselves further down the list?

    If Opera and onecorewonderZilla keep this up maybe the EU will can the idea all together.

    Personally I think MS should have just stuck with the "no browser" option and send IE cd's to stores like they were going to do. Make Mozilla, Apple, and Opera do the same. Case close. #browserballot

    Wow, this has got to be one of the most poorly written articles I've ever seen on gizmodo.

    Saying they "slipped" it in is a misnomer, it was an optional download. Automatic updates only automatically install bugfixes etc.

    Also, your "link" to uninstall the .net framework is actually a patch to the addon.

    I know you guy are often biased against microsoft, but just wow. #security
