Reason No. 3,972 Google is better than cheeseburgers: I’m sitting at someone else’s computer this week as I work on a dallasnews.com project, and his version of IE is hosed. Everytime you enter a URL in the address bar, it crashes. But you can click through links on other pages with impunity. So (a) Google’s skill at “I Feel Lucky” lets me skip the address bar in most cases, and (b) when I can’t, all I have to do is enter the address in the search field — the error page always includes a link to that URL.

Sorry, folks — this may be the most boring post in crabwalk.com history. They can’t all be about murderous relatives, you know.
