Firefox 3's robots welcome humans! 23 Jun 2008
If you enter "about:robots" (without the quotes) in Firefox 3's address bar, you'll receive the following message:
In case you can't make it out from this image, it reads:
Welcome Humans!
We have come to visit you in peace and with goodwill!
- Robots may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- Robots have seen things you people wouldn't believe.
- Robots are Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With.
- Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten
And they have a plan.
Please do not press this button again.

Also, the browser title bar reads "Gort! Klaatu baradu nikto!", the robot instructions from The Day The Earth Stood Still. :)

Not bad, and I love the references, but it really could use
* Can't do that, dave
and
* May suddenly accellerate to dangerous speeds

Great stuff! I love it when a product shows its human (or, in this case, robot) side.
