a conspiracy

I’ll give you a few seconds.
Okay. Why is it that the same service is more expensive in Firefox? Exact same url, but the service is cheaper in IE. If Yahoo is specifically doing this, I think it’s a very poor business practice. (Not to mention the fact that I would never enter credit card info in IE).
I’ll note that if one views the source of the page in IE, copies the link from the anchor tag that wraps the price button image, and pastes that into Firefox, one can get the lower price. I will not be beat!

Hmm…I’m not sure whether this is an improvement, or not. Launch used not to work at all with anything but IE. Faking the User Agent string would get you in, but the actual radio window wouldn’t work–I guess it used some of IE’s custom crap.

That’s really supid. I don’t know why they do it. Talk about discrimination.
