Crazy, dancing, programming, Goan.. I'm a computer geek and proud to be one. I program in Java, Ruby and .Net, PHP, Javascript. A lot of my recent work has been about CSS and UI design practices for large scale websites and Agile teams. I still while away hours dreaming up a web startup.
Some IE6 users are just irrational.
Sunday, July 12, 2009
A senior user experience architect at Digg blogged the results of an IE6 usage survey they conducted on their users.I can't help and feel a pang of pity for the 7% who said they use IE6 because they prefer it. You've got to respect their opinions and I'm sure its all familiar and nice for them, but at some point they are going to have realize their cheese is very stale.
Forget browser wars, bring on the OS wars.
So Google blogs about the promise of a Chrome OS. I'm salivating at the thought of the Microsoft response, which will surely come.Until now, the product lines of Google and Microsoft have always just about crossed everywhere except the OS. If the browser wars kick started an amazing generation of invention, I foresee exciting times ahead.
Sure Linux and Apple have been in the fray for a while, but what Google is doing is taking the best of both those two and rolling them into one. The technology revolution aside, Google is rolling together the price value and ideology of Linux with the user experience focus of Apple products. Microsoft are going to have break the mold with their response to compete effectively.
Whee...
