I am killing the Internet. Believe me, I was surprised to find this out. I'm the guy who rolls his eyes at Digg, participates in Mozilla Firefox Download Day, enjoys the occasional LOLcat and may even get Rick Rolled on a nerd-infested message board about users' undying love of IG-88.

Apparently,...
Stephen Colbert gave Firefox 3 his “Colbert Bump” on the day of Firefox 3’s launch. You can watch the video here. Download Day was a wild success, and the Firefox guys were happy to share some thanks and credit with Stephen.
