So, you're unfortunate enough to be involved in a car accident. Luckily, it's minor, but there are injuries and all you need to do is visit a local police station and fill out the paperwork. But wait! There's a new website out which means I don't need to visit in person, I can quickly file the report online. Woohoo! So, you pull out your trusty smartphone, look up http://www.crashreport.com.au ... and you get:




Yes. You read correctly. Someone has managed to develop an online web app - in late 2009 - that works in nothing but Windows Internet Explorer.

Well I do

Congratulations. You are using Linux or Mac OS or BSD or Firefox or all four. You deserved to crash.

Well I use IE tab on firefox for a number of things such as accessing Exchange Outlook Web Access. That uses the IE rendering engines of IE within firefox and thus webpages think you're using IE (only available on windows). The webpage is nothing fancy though they have prevented right clicking from what I gather. As the page was loading I noticed Javascript files loading in the background, which of course wouldn't be a problem because while Microsoft did have their own java it's now predominantly Sun Java...I mean Oracle Java seeing as Oracle bought out Sun.

i can see someone there saying... 'mac OS? what is a 'mac'?
