Refreshing discussion, prescient analysis, and sagacious commentary. I enjoy this column and find the content exceptionally valuable. "The Consumer Reports" of the Internet. Well done.

There is even a more sinister problem that conserns Firefox.
No doubt that the program is far safer than than IE -- period.
When you download Firefox (1.5.01 or any other version) how do you know it is not hacked?
Even if the binary located on download.mozilla.org indicates it is "signed" it happens to be from a completely untrusted, unauthenticated source certificate obtained from Thawte.
Firefox/Mozilla needs to distribute binaries that are [almost] absolutely gauranteed to be genuine.
THere are many ways to do this; Signing directing by Verisgn or RSA, or like Apple publishing the PGP public key of the binary.
Is there any other way of know for certain that when you download Firefox, it is not a hacked copy?

And kudos to post.com for the feature, and for the prominent placement on the homepage.

Brian,
Lots of great stuff posted in the first year, and hopefully, a few criminal operations ended earlier because their schemes were published here.
This is a must-read site.
