Huge news broke this morning when information got leaked to the press regarding an acquisition of The Pirate Bay. It's said that they got $7.8 million for the site which will be turned over to the buyers, Global Gaming Factory X, in August.

I'm sure you guys will get a kick out of this one. Microsoft has posted a "Get the Facts" page that has a chart comparing some general areas of IE8 versus Firefox and Chrome. Naturally IE8 comes out on top... way on top!
