Those geographical numbers look like they are based on domain? Which would mean that by USA you mean .com (which is international) rather than less used .us right? You really need to use a Geographical IP lookup, otherwise your stats will be skewed?

I guess this would be handy for people that use the web over phones or PDA's. It is a marginal improvement over my current system of searching a topic on two sites. But, hey, it is an improvement, so I applaud you. The whole OPML scheme blows hog. I exported two to Sage with ease, then spent 20 minutes getting rid of shit feeds. It would be nice if you made it all into one big XML feed that you can modify to not include some of the crappier searches. I am not complaining. I like the site (even installed the gada.be Firefox plugin). I hope you take this as constructive criticism. Go Hawkeyes! Nevermind, they stink.

“And Firefox beating IE. Clearly many people have got the message about the risks of IE!”
Don't make me laugh. FireFox is not going to save the computer world from blowing up. It only puts a small fence up for the numerous security encounters that pop up everyday for the average computer user.
I've been using IE since it has been released. I have yet to ever have a security-related problem with it.
Two words… Get dducated.

I suppose the numbers aren't really high enough to be statistically significant, but interesting nonetheless!
Surprised to see Mac OS X as high as 10%, as it was much lower when Google turned off their zeitgeist. Maybe the Mac really is making a comeback like its fans say.
And Firefox beating IE. Clearly many people have got the message about the risks of IE!
Question: does “Windows CE” represent all Windows Mobile platforms – PDAs and Smart Phones included? What would other smartphones (eg, Symbian-based Nokias with browsers) show up as?
