It has nothing to do with the browser You use.
It's just server-related problem. Not quite sure but looks like comments 
are loaded from here: 
http://www.informationweek.com/btgcommunity/communityjs/780;jsessionid=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?forum=13&key=33669&cmpJiveUser=
And sometimes it just starts giving HTTP 500s

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

exception

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache

Looks like some sort of load-balancing problem (one of servers dead :), 
document not synced)

So don't worry and be happy :)
