Hehe, well, that's the point

You can take a look at this video, it explains how rickrolling works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmPmIJyi0sc
This one is legit, you have my word.

Well you guys seemed to have handled it pretty well, it really loses the effect if you're not familiar with it lol. Some people who get rickrolled get really annoyed - but it was sort of obvious since it is April Fool's

I think it's great! Viral, but in a good way.

On a side note, does anyone know how long we have to wait for the release of Fx3.1 (or 3.5 or whatever they call it)? Now that is a .1 version I'm excited about. That one really does have better CSS3 support and does well on the acid test and it even supports Firefox add-ons

Well, at (currently afaik) 3.0.8, they will soon have to go to a deeper subversion (pun intended) to avoid 3.1, or (as has often been their habit) 4.

In fairness to MS over this IE 8.1 business (hilarious). Some of those touted features (the ones that are actually possible), or ones much like them are already included in IE 8.

Incidentally, hasn't anyone noticed that MS no longer goes in for subversions with its browser. Starting with 6, there haven't been any points. I'm not such a big fan of MS software to know whether they are doing this with the rest of their programs or not. But I think they learned long ago (rightly or wrongly) not to use point anything, at least not with certain types of software.
