Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by
stupidity.  I have seen web pages that used these same concepts to
create web pages that not only can not be viewed with IE but go so
far as to display a page telling the viewer that they can not use
IE to view the page.  Most swords cut both ways.

As I said, I have yet to understand what Googles business is other than
selling snake oil.
