Google Will Stop Supporting IE 6 On March 1st
Jan 30th
Google is yet again is trying to dominate the Internet.
On Friday they issued a blog post Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on March 1 2010. Why, you may be asking? They claim security issues and say that they newer version of Google apps and sites will be too much for the older version.
They will support(or at least for now) IE 7+, Firefox 3.0+, Chrome 4.0+ and Safari 3.0+. They did not say if they would or would not support Opera.
In reality, I believe that they are making way for cutting out total support of any 3′rd party browser support for their services. Personally I have tried Chrome and I think that it is deeply lacking the major features that Firefox and IE can offer.
Anyway, if you still are using IE 6 and want to use Google services, you have until March 1st to upgrade to a newer browser.
Feel free to comment about your thoughts and feelings towards Google’s new move.

Is The iPad Just A Giant Version Of The iPhone?
Jan 28th
Long time, no post 
But I am back and kickin’! So todays topic is all about Apple’s tablet computer, the newly annouced iPad.
I am going to be honest, I do not see that much difference among this and the iPhone/iPod Touch. It looks like a giant version of it and it does not seem to offer all that much more. Really, could not they offer something more to it or not? Or change the name?
I guess though, maybe if they named it something like the iPod or iPhone then it would have the same success?
Personally though, I just do not see it catching on. Tablet computers have been out for a long time and have yet to over take desktops/notebooks/netbooks. I think the hype will fade out pretty soon, and with them being so late in the game it will be a huge loss for them.
Tell me, what do you think about the iPad? Do you think it will be successful?
