I don't mean to sound rude, but if the sites are invisible to you because
of
YOUR choice of browser, how is this anyone's problem but yours?

Blaming the website, when it is clearly a limitation of your browser, is
illogical.

Please send this to Bill Gates. This is JUST what he wants to hear! He
will be so happy!

Make products which claim to be compliant with standards (yet don't) but
that only really work together, then claim that everyone else is at fault
and it's not your problem, then boost prices in every market you become a
monopoly in.


Let me put this another way, related to aviation. Bill Gates decides he
will now build airplanes. So he buys several manufacturers and engine
suppliers. He then claims big improvements can be made if he had a special
additive in fuel. Unfortunately this additive corrodes the fuel systems of
older, non-compliant planes. No matter, it's optional. Most planes can be
retrofitted for it, but the older engines still don't run that well on it.
Now, Bill's planes are indeed good and he sells lots of them. Enough, in
fact, that he buys an oil company and has that company specialize in this
custom fuel. He sells it at a very low price, further enhancing the appeal
of his planes. His fuel company also sells regular avgas at very low
prices. Other oil companies decide the aviation market is too small to
fight for, so start dropping out. Bill's oil company ends up with 90% of
the market. Then he decides to start phasing in the additive and only
supplying fuel with it.

YOUR problem, dude; it's your plane that uses the "nonstandard" fuel.

(I know, terrible analogy, but still fun to think up and type)
