  1. IE6 – My Solution

    So my current solution for IE6 is to drop support for it, but not entirely. If I can get something to work in IE6 I will, but I’m not going to avoid using transparent PNG’s or valid CSS. I refuse to let IE6 hold back the internet anymore (as much as I can help it).
    I’m [...]

  2. Microsoft – Well, You’ll See…

    I was gonna make a clever title for this post, but I really don’t have to. Take a look at Microsoft’s old website designs that pingdom dug up. Stuff like this is why people call the 90’s the “dark ages” of the internet. It seems Microsoft was no exception.

  5. XP Downgrade Availability Extended – 2011

    I guess when you make a product like Vista, you have to support whatever product you made before it if it was better. Microsoft just announced that you’ll still be able to downgrade to XP until 2011 or when a Windows 7 service pack is released “whichever comes first”. I guess I don’t mind this, [...]

  6. This Is Basically Offensive

    Microsoft decided to make a pretty table explaining why their browser is better than Firefox and Chrome. I’m guessing it’s because finding some web developers that still know how to code tables is cheaper than finding developers that know how to create a superior browser.
    This really has to be a joke. The information there is [...]
