It may be his ball but it's not his game and he needs to play by the rules

Well, there's no need to throw up over it for the sake of an 'n' or an 'a' 
I'll agree, but I thought that he wrote the rules, so you are damn right he should abide by them
PS Like the new layout, but what are those square dotty things in the R/H column  |

They sir, are QR codes. Like a barcode. Point a smartphone equipped with a QR Code Reader app at them and take a photo and it will decode them and visit the link hidden within. Widely used in Android circles but spreading to many areas of life and advertising now.

IE9 supports border-radius but that's still in beta...

I wonder if the hackers have thought of any interesting things to do with QR codes?

OK, Thanks for that. That explains the chintzy corners, but what about the big blue ugly rectangles behind them in IE8?
Tried IE9, hated it! Luddite or what?
NO I'M NOT BOTH

You need to use a QR Code aware app or a QR Code Reader app - not just your camera
Download QR Scanner, free in Appstore and use that.
It's of perhaps less practical use for iPhones where you can use the Appstore but for Android, there is no PC based Marketplace, you have to use your phone to choose and buy and so QR Codes make it a lot easier to accomplish.

Hey, that works (but I've already got CamerAlert!). Anyway, now I'm off to look for some more.
