Interview Transcript Patrick: Hello and welcome to another edition of the SitePoint Podcast, my name is Patrick O’Keefe and I am filling in today for our usual lead host, Louis Simoneau; kind of an impromptu, unplanned role change as we just found out that Louis was in a bit of a car accident. He was hit by a car on a bicycle of some kind and he fractured both of his arms; he’s alright, but yeah, it’s a little bad news there, and I’m just going to read tweets I received literally minutes ago because he said he fractured both arms and I asked him, I said I’m looking at tweets, I said it looks like you got hit by a car, were you on a bike?

So, yeah, even with Louis out the show, well, I guess it must go on, so we’re going to talk about some news stories and have our usual back and forth. Stephan why don’t you get us started. Stephan: Okay, well, the first story is on The Verge, theverge.com, it is about Chrome overtaking Internet Explorer as the most popular browser in the world. Now I know a bunch of people, a bunch of listeners, are going woo-hoo! in their cars or wherever they’re listening to this, but the truth of the matter is it was only for a week, and looking at the [...]
