Funeral to be Held for Internet Explorer 6
Internet Explorer 7 and now 8 have pretty much put IE6 to bed. It’s become useless with many sites killing off support or will be soon. YouTube is due to pull the plug on IE6 on March 13th. Many others are following suite. This is seen as the final blow to IE6, a once great browser that has been battered and bruised by allegations of security weakness and fierce competition from Google Chrome and Mozilla.
A Denver based design company are holding a funeral for the browser at their headquarters and they have built a website at IE6Funeral.com to mark the occasion. You can RSVP to the event on the site and those who are attending are encouraged to wear “funeral attire”.
“Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc. Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as “IE6,” is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.”
