Here's some good news.
Firefox market share in Europe is almost 28%
according to
XitiMonitor.
In Germany it's 38%, and several other countries have higher usage.
Opera is at 3.5% and Safara is at 1.7% in Europe.
I'd be more pleased if it was a quarter each by three different browsers, with half a dozen others taking the other quarter, but this is much better diversity than 98% IE.

Jared Diamond: Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
The author examines societies from the smallest (Tikopia) to the largest (China) and why they have succeeded or failed, where failure has included warfare, poverty, depopulation, and complete extinction. He thought he could do this purely through examining how societies damaged their environments, but discovered he also had to consider climate change, hostile neighbors, trading partners, and reactions of the society to all of those, including re-evaluating how the society's basic suppositions affect survival in changed conditions.

A highly readable backgrounder on the evolution of risk management, from probabilities to joint stock companies.
A rising tide lifts all boats... or something like that. I think that Mozilla has done quite a bit to revitalize competition in the browser space. Mozilla showed that browsers weren't "done" as MS thought in 2001 when they disolved their IE team. Now we have a pretty nice landscape with IE, Firefox (and other Gecko-based browsers,) Safari (and other webkit-based browsers,) and Opera.
