Traversing Flat Corners

One of the great things about a worn down track is the help from ruts and berms. Sure they can make things difficult, but they essentially help us keep our speed up in the corners. Just like in NASCAR, the angled surface allows the bike to lean over and still find plenty of traction. However, [...]

Firefox 4 rockets to 5% global usage share, IE9 wallows at 1.5%

Using some early numbers from both StatCounter and Net Applications, Mozilla's noisiest hominid, Asa Dotzler, has illustrated Firefox 4's meteoric rise to around 5% of Web browser global usage share. Internet Explorer 9, which launched two weeks ago, seems to be enjoying a much more casual stroll in the park with just 1.5% of the global Web usage share.

Interestingly, we can see IE9 dipping between March 20 and 21, just before the 'Important' Windows Update rolled out. It's hard to say whether IE9 is only growing because of the installed-by-default Windows Update, but that small dip definitely sticks out -- did excitement peter out? Did people download IE9, try it out, and summarily uninstall it? Perhaps, given their close proximity, the stats show an attention shift from Microsoft to Mozilla?

Numbers-wise, if the bottom left corner of the graph shows 2.3 million downloads for IE9, we can guesstimate that that it has now been downloaded 5 million times. Firefox is clocking in at 37 million downloads after five days of public availability.

We wonder whether Microsoft knew its release schedule would coincide so closely with Firefox 4. Internet Explorer 9 -- a great browser by almost every metric -- was never going to do well against anything emanating from the maws of Mozilla. The main thing, though, is that Microsoft has now shown that it's serious when it comes to the Open Web. If Internet Explorer 10 is good, and 11 and 12, then we might finally see it compete with the zealous Mozillan horde.

Shane Carwin thinks Roy Nelson is a fake

One of the underlying storylines on this season of the Ultimate Fighter is the dynamic between coaches Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson. The two talented heavyweights are among the most powerful punchers in MMA and will face off after the show?s conclusion, yet it seems the personal animosity between the two has overshadowed any sort of professional rivalry.

Carwin offered up his thoughts on ?Big Country? in a recent interview where he explained his dislike of Nelson stems from the way his rival represents himself.

“I think he puts on a front. He claims to be this average guy and that’s who his audience is – that he’s this average dude fighting ? and he’s anything but that,? explained Carwin in a conversation with MMAFightCorner. ?The guy’s never had a job in his life. And that’s how I grew up. I grew up poor and I had a job at 15. I was working construction, throwing boxes, working in factories. For me to get where I got, it was a hard route of labor and that guy’s never even had a job. For him to sit there and talk to blue collar people, and me and my people, that stuff’s bullsh*t and it pisses me off.”

Carwin: “I hate Roy Nelson as a person.”

While Carwin?s feelings towards Nelson were negative in general, it doesn?t sound emotions ever boiled over on set based on the way the opposing teams? schedules were set up in addition to Carwin?s focus on the contestants rather than the coaches.

?Working with somebody that you dislike is kind of rough. You got those people at the office, you’re both trying to get coffee and you don’t like each other. There’s not a lot to be said,? stated Carwin. ?Obviously it was those eight individuals, those kids?that’s what we’re there for is to make them better?and not only a better fighter, but a better person and becoming successful in life and giving them the tools and the foundation on how to do that.?

Fans can catch Carwin/Nelson (as well as the rest of the TUF 16 cast) every Friday night on FX at 10:00 PM EST.
