Cartoon: IE6 RIP
- romland 17y agoI guess this is the dilemma with the big fuss the other day (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1103339 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1103339). When I see something from readwriteweb.com now I think the submitter has been "bought" to submit the story. I'm not sure who or what to blame or whether this is a good reaction. Bottom line is, the biggest loser here is definitely readwriteweb.com since I basically thought less of the article in question without looking at it. Either way, the fact that Google is (partially) killing support for IE6 has made its rounds on HN before, so news-worthiness of it is so-so.
- bjelkeman-again 17y agoIE6 is a long way from dead if I look at our web site stats for January. 17% for IE6 and 17% for IE8. Firefox total at 28% and IE7 at 20%. So there is quite some ways to go for us at least.
- olliesaunders 17y agoGoogle's announcement is relatively recent and hasn't come into effect yet.
- bjelkeman-again 17y agoIndeed. Unfortunately for us I think that our users aren't that heavy users of anything more advanced at Google, but only time will tell I think.
- lurkinggrue 17y agoIt's starting to remind me of the guy in Holy Grail that keeps insisting "I'm not dead!"
