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.

As an immigrat … I come from another culture. And I’m aware of the fact that people elsewhere in the world think differnetly from us. I can, sort of, see us, us Americans, with their eyes. And not all that I see is attractive. I see an insular people who are insensitive to foreign sensibilites, who are lazy, obese, complacent, and increasingly perplexed as to why we are losing our place in the world to people who are more dynamic than us and more disciplined.
