News publishing on the Internet.

The URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Age directed me to the official website of the international newspaper The Asian Age - http://www.asianage.com, with the caveat "(IE only, refuses other browsers)"

This I had to see! I clicked on it and sure enough reached a page which said ""This page can only be seen in IE"" (I'm using Mozilla Firefox, and not Internet Explorer)

Isn't that tantamount to saying: "you need to buy software from Microsoft before you can access this journalistic web-site."?

Their call, I guess; my loss, perhaps.
