I found this site with awful programming examples, some really make you feel ashamed of your fellow technology workers, and the thought of them probably being high paid 'professionals' quite often makes it only more depressing; http://www.thedailywtf.com/ .

On http://webstandards.org/press/releases/archive/2005/07/05/ it says 'WaSP to Collaborate with Microsoft to Promote Web Standards'.
I'm a bit in doubt as to how I should interpret this, is it Microsoft wanting to do the right thing, or is it about Microsoft pushing W3C web standards as a reaction to the WhatWG (http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/) forces?
There are confusing times ahead, as developers are on the one hand moving more and more towards standards, but the standards are being spread over several standard defining camps, in this case the WhatWG and the W3C camps. Microsoft in itself used to be able to define standards too, is this maybe also a sign of them loosing the power to define standards on their own, and now wanting to focus on being an excellent implementer of commonly accepted standards.
As you see, these things are all still rather unstructured in my head, comments are welcomed therefore

The Mozilla guys have created a new subproject called 'Seamonkey' to continue the suite of apps that was Mozilla. Personally I don't need the bloat, and I think that with Firefox and Thunderbird being well integrated in the various OS's and thus also integrated with eachother, its not really needed. But if people want to continue building this, and spend time on it, they are free to do so.
They should however, being a prominent place on the Internet where web designers come, show how to make a nice header. The image i've linked into this article is not a screenshot from a non-aliased desktop, no, its the background image found on http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ :
