	Quote: Another misleading update from PCPro The last time PCPro posted an article, it was also factually wrong — they claimed that we were adopting the ribbon in Firefox, which was not the case. In this case, they also get it wrong. Nothing has been "dumped". One of the features scheduled for 3.7 will be accelerated and land in a 3.6.x update instead. For the proper story, have a look at CNET's article about the same subject, which gets it right: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-10433844-264.htm l Alexander Limi, Firefox User Experience Team By AlexanderLimi on 16 Jan 2010

It's why I don't even use them for news these days - they're the Daily Mail of the Tech world. Add in what they did to the forums and, well, .......

CNet ftw!
