The First Browser War, Acted Out By Cats
Although this video’s title is Why Judo is Better Than Karate, I think that an equally apt title would be How Microsoft Won the First Browser War.
I remember reading a zillion articles about how small, agile companies
like Netscape were going to put lumbering corporate dinosaurs like M$
out of business; this video makes an excellent counter-metaphor.

Wouldn't that kat-ra-te?
Ouch. That was a three-Excedrin pun, Dave.
BIg orange cat was on the ropes for a second there... totally mesmorized.... almost had him!
Actually, this video is less of a lesson on why judo is better than karate, and more of a lesson on "Why posing before attacking is a Bad Idea" or maybe "Why it's bad to pick a fight with someone three times your size".
