AJAX website allows surgeons to work from home
[This just came through from my strange friend Gaksloope, who -- as you know -- lives in an alternative-reality cubicle, fourteen minutes into the future] AJAX website allows surgeons to work from home A stunning new website, based on something called 'AJAX' -- that darling technology that's taken the world by storm -- allows surgeons to give real time instructions to a robotic scalpel, via the internet.
A breakdown of surgical mistakes by browser type has shown that firefox users make the best surgeons, while surgeons using Opera tend to get distracted and surf away to other websites, even during critical parts of the operation. Statistics concerning internet explorer are not available for publication, as they are the subject of a medical neglicence law suit, involved an alleged 'rendering bug' which led to amputation of the wrong leg.
CEO of Ajax The Slasher, David Hassaminor Hickup, said "We knew from the outset that AJAX would cure cancer. This is just the first step. Tomorrow's children will be concieved via AJAX technology. We are working on an AJAX-enabled satellite with which we hope to probe the deepest corners of the galaxy, in search of the meaning of life. AJAX is bound to have a part to play in that quest. Our main task for now is getting the 'back button' to work during surgery. It seems intuitively obvious that pressing the back button will cause the last stroke of the scalpel to be undone. In practice, it's a little harder than that."
thanks Gaks! I'll be watching for that one here too. (Note I hadto de-activate the links in Gaks' message, to avoid any trans-dimensional corruption of the universal fibril, as it scares my cat.)

If Gaksloope happens to mention the other four popular browsers in his reality then be sure to let us know.

Do you know, if you (or anyone) have questions for Gaksloope, please tell me.
I can write them down and send them to him next time I see him online.
I can't guarantee sensible answers though, because, in short -- he's a flake.
