        Edited it in latest Chrome. Doesn't show up too good with that either.

          Just copy the link direct from the address bar, and paste it into the page. One of four things will happen: 1) It will automatically become linkified (mine did, and about 90% or more do) 2) It will be pasted, and an option will appear at thr right hand side - select "as is" and then highlight the link before pressing the [^] widget. 3) It will be pasted and no option will appear but there is a good chance it will be surrounded by pare tags, selected to VB. Swear. remove the pre tags, and treat as above. 4) It will be pasted, not option will appear and your browser will freeze up. Swear lots. Wait. Wait some more. Swear some more. Wait. Eventually it comes back to life and you can continue with 2 or 3 above.

            What Windows did to me (as shown in the link) was much better. I would rather take down the link. :)

                Where's the weird? Updating the app that's responsible for the updates might sound a bit strange at first, but it makes perfect sense; it's merely an app, and from time to time, it needs an update.
