Firefox Can Get You in Trouble


The one little quirk that comes into play when I update the blog is that I have to go out of my way to open up Firefox so I can post. I usually use Safari, but it doesn't cut it when it comes to making full posts. As I opened it up a few minutes ago, a friend of mine from work sent me a link to an amusing story.

Apparently, a high-schooler in Pennsylvania was given a two-hour detention for using Firefox in class rather than the dismal Internet Explorer 6 that rules most computers,including the Dells that reside in The Recorder office. The student tried to defend himself saying it's a "better browser," but this was seen as disobedience and was punished.

This isn't really topical to entertainment...unless you're a nerd like me.

EDIT: Update here.

Haha, If I have to open up a new program, it is considered out of my way.
