Maybe They Should Have Used Firefox?

Posted on 25 January 2010 by


I was on a Norwegian Cruise Lines “Cruise to Nowhere” this weekend, and on each floor they had large LCD monitors letting you know what was going on around the ship, such as which restaurants had a wait, and what bars were on which deck.

Apparently they might want to switch over to Firefox, as Internet Explorer had a little trouble keeping up — and it pooped out a little before midnight on Deck 13!

Carly has been a gadget fiend for a long time, going back to her first PDA (a Palm M100). She quickly went from researching what PDA to buy to following tech news closely and keeping up with the latest and greatest stuff. She loves writing about ebooks because they combine her two favorite activities; reading anything and everything, and talking about fun new tech toys. What could be better?

    Actually this probably is not as bad as it looks. It’s probably just the server being bounced. What is worse though is when people use Windows for these things and you see BSOD’s or Application crash messages. Seen that on cash registers and marketing displays for take and bake Donatos pizza and even ATM’s.
