R.I.P. IE6

Don’t know how I missed this news - die you putz!

Following the Google discontinuation of support for IE6 (1st March) and Youtube following with support cutoff (of March 13th) a funeral was held.

Favourite quotes from that story:

“I feel terrible admitting this, but … I never really liked him,” posted someone who gave his name as Eddie Escher. “He had so many hang-ups, and he looked awful — especially in his later years. But… he was always there when you needed him. You have to give him that.”

“It’s going to be a hard sucker to kill,” Siegler wrote in a recent post. “But at least a funeral will provide some closure until we find the body.”

Only sorry I wasn’t around Denver to attend - security people everywhere will be happy to the death of possibly the most hacked browser in history.
