I saw this post over at All About Symbian:

Nokia’s Music Recommenders scheme, launched a couple of months ago, seems to be getting into its stride, with the first actual podcast by the ‘godfather’ of the scheme, David Bowie. RSS-ready, too….

"The Music Recommenders’ ‘godfather’ picks highlights from the site"

Went to click the link to check out the actual podcast, and I get hit with the "You need IE6 to run this site" warning from hell. What is Nokia’s problem?!

I guess 38.4% of Finland can’t access this site too!

According to the French market research company XiTi, Firefox Internet browser has a market share of 38.4% in Finland. This is the largest market share Firefox has in any country. In Slovenia, Firefox’s market share is 35.6%, and in Germany 30.27%.

In January 2006, Mozilla’s Firefox’s market share had risen to over one fifth in Europe. In September 2005, Firefox had a market share of 14%. The number of Firefox browsers is the largest in Germany, followed by Australia and the US.
