Perhaps they can use some of their MASSIVE INTEL POWER to sort this out:

Urgh. I hate this kind of thing. Cocky 'look at us, we rock' advertising.

Bit like in the Grauniad, where they try new and exciting ways to shoehorn the likes of "OUR NEW BERLINER FORMAT IS SO ACE AND IT CAN CURE CANCER AND STUFF!!11" into every article. Oh yeah, and the whole "PODCAST PODCAST PODCAST WE LOVE PODCASTS DID YOU KNOW THE MOST POPULAR IS OUR GERVAIS ONE! BERLINER!!!"

Are they both employing Mr Goebbels or something?

Just don't overclock the Athlon too much or it will become fried.

I don't care how much coolant is on it.

Been there, done that.

Yeah, because it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact your browser doesn't understand content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"...

Eatmypiano: Nice of you to drop in, but I'd imagine it's the way the put stuff into (or get stuff out of) their database that has screwed up.

I'd agree with you if it wasn't for the fact it looked fine in Explorer, FireFox, Safari and Camino on my Mac and PC...

I keep dropping in. I can just never think of anything interesting to say. Other than stuff like "It's your browser" and "Who's the idiot dressed like a fairy?"

Yes, it does.
Looks like they used some of their MASSIVE INTEL POWER after all =]

(That's such an IAmCal Thing!

Poster 1: This is broken. They should fix it.
Poster 2: BWAHAHAHAHAHA IT IS YOU THAT IS WRONG!
Poster 3: Could be that they have, you know, fixed it?)
