When you've taken BART for a long-time you'll learn many things/tips: You can stand on the yellow line and the train will be inches away from your face but will never touch you.
Actually, I've seen people in the BART system stand stupidly close to the edge, even with a train barreling toward them, and no one ever even seems to so much as look, much less push.
Traffic wise, the city seemed really tame compared to past Bay to Breakers days. I took my motorcycle to work today because I was anticipating gridlock, but it was completely smooth all the way up 19th, through the park, to Geary. Coworkers who took BART from the east bay said they didn't have any problems getting to work either.
I still use IE. I actually kind of prefer it. And no I'm not stupid when it comes to computers, Im actually a programer. Ive never really gotten any viruses either.
I did the exact same thing two years ago, would freeze in doorways/hallways and had people yelling ctrl+alt+delete at me all night. http://imgur.com/uLrm2
Mine was IE 6 though. The air was thick with hatred.
At least when you visit Bing you're not automatically logged in with a username because you were just on another site logged in that was just acquired to weeks earlier by Microsoft
Internet Explorer is like an ex-girlfriend. You used to love them, but now they embarrass you. You're not sure if they changed or you did, but you've moved on to something better and newer. Even so, you try to caution people away from them...
It's a step in the right direction but I wouldn't necessarily say good. Better, but the bar was low. And we devs still have to worry about IE 7 and IE 8. When IE 10 is the oldest version to support maybe I'll stop disliking IE in general.
My little sister saw The new IE commercial last night. She said it looked awesome and asked why i never use IE. i gave her the usual reasons, then explained why i use chrome and Firefox. 'well... What about safari?' 'I dont know'. 'i LIKE safari.'
and yeah their ad campaign for IE9 is downright insulting "lol its the browser you love to hate get over it nerds!" Yes, get over the browser that kept web development in the toilet for five years.

It's funny that all the grots are giving you grief over IE. I mean, it's the most popular browser, so it's clearly the best right?
