NBC can eat me

Ever hear of Firefox 3? Yeah, so have I. Too bad NBC is still in the goddamn Neolithic.

You have got to be kidding me.

I was thinking I’d mosey over to their website, as much as I generally decry centralized media repositories, and see whether I couldn’t stream a bit of live coverage of the Olympics. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but the homepage seemed promising:

See that hopeful little tidbit about downloading clips in HD? Unfortunately that’s probably locked down with DRM, or at the very least a proprietary downloading application. Too bad I can’t tell you for sure, because the freaking page won’t load!

Does NBC really think it can keep going like this? This is the freaking Olympics. Firefox 3 was downloaded 8,002,530 times on the first day of its release, and still NBC doesn’t think it’s a priority that their website work with it.
