A Collective WTF

Recently Walmart began operation of their new movie download website, and gave us all one more reason to not go to Walmart's website. In a genius move by the Walmart web development team, they chose to have it only work on IE. Notice I said "chose." After doing some research and looking at some script and CSS, it's obvious that the site was designed to only work with IE. Even if it did work with other browsers, they use a Windows only DMG preventing the hundreds of thousands of people who use alternative browsers (OSX) from accessing this media. I can imagine iTunes is loving this. Way to go Walmart, you effectively eliminated yourself from the competition before you even got started. As far as I'm concerned, Walmart, you need to get with the program and at the least support multiple browsers, you're retarded for not doing so in the first place.

Pimpingill out.
