gizmodo.com— A woman pukes all over her husband after rooting through his browser history. The moral is that he should be using IE8 for private browsing... Because IE8 is the only browser on earth that does that, right?

Here, I corrected your statement for you:"IE8 may not be the only browser that does this but to the best of my knowledge it was the last major browser to have such a feature."
Actually, FF had the feature as a plug-in for a long time now. IE8 beat FF to having the feature built in - as if that means anything. As friday04 stated, as far back as FF2, you could configure FF to clear history, cookies and even cached website data on closing (Opera could do this too and may have introduced it). I used to use it to conserve hard drive space back when I only had 80GB to play with.By the way, FF3.5 is going to be released early next week...with the feature built in this time. The irony is that, when this happens, it will ultimately be FF3.5, not IE8, that inevitably brings the porn mode to the masses, thanks to Mozilla's highly effective automatic updating mechanism.
This will probably never be read, but I always had an issue with the commercials for vista and the life without walls campaign. I just couldn't get over the fact that if I don't have any walls to block my view of the world, why the hell do I need windows?

IE crossed that line a long time ago.

Not to mention Safari (which had it before Chrome, IIRC).

I happen to like Microsoft. And I dunno, Kevin Rose annoys me at time.
