I was watching some TV shows online while recuperating from Supercomputing, and ran into this:
“The video you have requested is not available on this device” in Chromium, normal play in Firefox.

Apparently, CBS is blocking video on Chrome/Chromium on Linux in a misguided attempt to block GoogleTV devices. This is why user-agent sensitive web content is bullshit. Browsers are browsers; if you feel like your business model can’t deal with the internet, you have a much, much bigger problem than malicious web design can solve.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
