Google: Just Say No To IE6!

Two words sum up this post: HELL YEAH. :)

Earlier this week I received an email from Google regarding my Google Apps account (as I’m sure all of you Apps users did) and it delivered some of the best and geekiest news ever to be uttered by a large company: Google will be phasing out support for Internet Explorer 6 in their products over the course of 2010.

Now those of you who aren’t as geeky and techy are probably like, “WTF dude?  Who really freakin’ cares?!”  Well, those geeks and techies driving innovation and pushing for the future of our planet care!  With the world finally dropping support for this POS we are successfully able to roll out better, brighter and faster technology to our websites, making the web a better place for all and the devices that you are now using to access it, including that sexy new iPad. :)

So to all the Microsofts of the world, I have one thing to say: Pick up your shit and get the hell outta here!  Don’t like the door hit you on the way out.  Some of us are trying to bring the future to society, and your crappy ass products are slowin’ us down!

    I am not too impressed by the iPad. No usb support? No OSX or anything like that. From what I understand it is just a glorified oversized iPhone/iPod Touch. I will admit, I like the iPod Touch and hopefully someday they are closer in my budget.

    As for Microsoft. I use Windows 7 with Google Chrome as my browser. I am not pleased with Internet Explorer and have fallen in love with the speed and functionality of Chrome. As for Windows 7, This too I love and is in my opinion, the best OS Microsoft has released.

    But for once Matthew, I agree with you.. Get rid of IE6. It’s about time.

    I actually just got done watching the Apple keynote from last week. Up to this point, I too was skeptical about the potential of the iPad, but after watching the keynote, I actually do see a new, never before tapped market and some futuristic concepts coming into play here. I have to say that, while I still won’t be totally sold on it until I get my hands on one at the store, I am feeling a little more optimistic about the whole iPad ecosystem. I think it has a future, but time will tell. :) But I assure you the oversized iPod touch idea is only on the surface. It’s only the beginning to what this thing is capable of.

    Chrome is definitely a better option, thank you! Basically anything that isn’t IE is just fine in my book :) And I won’t even get started on Windows 7. :P lol
