When is Konqueror going to become a real browser ? Why hasn't it matured ?

OK, well here is an example page that Konqueror does not handle
properly:

http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2009-01-27-015-35-IN-KE

I assume that Linux Today wouldn't write web pages that are "IE only".  

The problem my konqueror has with this page is that it displays what
looks like a title bar incorrectly in the middle of the page. "Events
Blogs, Jobs, Partners...Search"

And the "Complete Story" link doesn't work.

So... I right click-> Open As... open it in Firefox and read the
story.  

If you don't believe me, I'd be happy to send a screen shot.
