THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I do not know how many times IE7 has peremptorily shut itself off. I switched from IE6 figuring it could only be better. Bugmeister? Better? How many times have bloggers lost their contents because the Bug wanted time off? And unlike Firefox He doesn't save your selections. This is precisely why so many seem to think the Meister is Spandexily stretching the truth when He boasts of all the copies of XP ME -- Vista He's "sold." I'd wager there are at least as many complaints of how slow and cumbersome it is. In these sixteen words are precisely the reason computing needs competition, something it has gotten in fits and starts, when it's gotten it at all.
And notice this link (and the one preceding) doesn't even list IE7! What do these jerks know?
