The last nighty build of webkit scores 89/100.

Just a side remark concerning IE8. From Microsoft about a new IE 8 feature:

"WebSlices
Web sites can expose portions of their page as a WebSlice that users can subscribe to and bring that content with them on their links bar wherever they are on the web. Users receive update notifications when the content changes."

Well a rip-off of Safari's Webclip feature on Leopard. Well done folks at Microsoft, you do what Microsoft does best, taking ideas of someone else and make it sound as an new one.

Innovation Ballmer, innovation......

I think it's safe to say that a bit of copying is done by everyone these days. While you can single anyone out if you really want to, nearly everyone is guilty of it.

Indeed.

Also: Apple is probably some of the worse when it comes to claiming to innovate things they actually copied.

(Make no mistake: they do indeed innovate as well!)
