Good news web developers…IE6’s time has finally come. According to this article on CNN, IE6, although a decent browser when it was released 8 YEARS AGO, is now a huge stumbling block to the web’s evolution (no secret there). It’s estimated that as many as 25% of web users are still using IE6, slowing down the web and creating headaches for web developers.

However, there is a growing movement on the web to kill the dinosaur once and for all. This site provides a snippet of code that will encourage users to upgrade their browsers for betting online experience. That’s all well and good to persuade average Joe internet user, but what about the many companies out there who use corporate applications written specifically for IE6? Do they represent the “death” of the death of IE6?

Since the beginning of time, Google has grown accustomed to handily disposing of its search engine rivals and competitors, but are those days finally coming to an end? Has Google finally met its match?

Next up in the contenders’ corner – Microsoft’s Bing. Check out a few reviews of Bing and a short video that illustrates how it feels it may knock off the Champ.
