What kinds of FAIL images have you seen? For instance, I just noticed this on newegg's site:

Really, a massive 25 MEGABYTES of space on Windows Live Skydrive. Sweet... (uhh, isn't it gigabytes?)

It is probably right at 25 Mb, although I can eat that up pretty fast in my mail box.

Nah, I have a skydrive, it is good for 25GB. Rather spiffy thing to have btw.

I emailed them about the newegg thing, and it looks like they fixed it (I also use skydrive and it's 25GB). I put my school documents on there and use the 'open with word' button, which makes things pretty convenient. I also store backups on there (I use encrypted 7-zip files split by 50MB).

That is hilarious! I don't think you can even fit a whole notepad text document with just 25MB of storage space.

You can - a notepad document is probably only 8KB or so. A word doc is likely 10-20KB or more.

They do realize that Chrome is at V19 and Firefox is at V12, right?

MS might just be getting tired of updating their chart every week to keep up with version changes.

It'd be better if they stopped giving me that in the first place though. One thing's for sure - my next email account might not be a hotmail one because of that, and I'm definitely not going to use Internet Explorer at all if possible for the next half decade or so.

And it's one old computer case, probably dated back to late 80s early 90s. Those things were a tight squeeze to manouver with. Reminds me of the first computer I ever had in 95 with Windows 98, K3 processor. Good times.

I hated that case.
