Their technical capabilities are at about the same level of sophistication and subtlety as the ads themselves (complete with Ferrari-driving, babe-catching, and executive-schmoozing). I've always advocated prioritizing the targets for limited testing resources. In the case of browsers, it's easy to use a site like Hitslink (http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=6) to prioritize. A lot of business people don't think about Macs or even Firefox, but currently that's telling about 18% of your potential customers to get lost.

Just by going to their site you have justified those terrible, terrible commercials. I kept thinking there was going to be a punchline as if it was some fake ad. Sadly, no. I think it's only fitting their site doesn't work on a Mac :) Nooooooo Mike!!!! Just by going to their site you have justified those terrible, terrible commercials.

Uh, while I'm not into his music all that much, I'd say Prince is a true artist. Though, yeah, the show is silly. Just wait for the anti-wardrobe malfunction police to complain about the phallic image in the shadows of this year's show. If it’s any consolation, it looks that way on Firefox windows too.
