No one will cry and no one will mourn the death of IE6 (other than the developers perhaps). Talks of reducing browser support and yanking the cord out of the wall have been happening since the launch of IE7. Now, with IE8 released and several other browsers to choose from…the time has come.
Web giants YouTube and Digg are the most recent sites to cut IE6 support, according to a recent Tech Crunch article.

As you’re browsing a site you may come across a term or phrase that you’d like to know more about. For such instances, most browsers now come with a search toolbar. If you have a handy dandy search toolbar you can highlight that word or phrase and drag-and-drop the text in to your search box. Try it out.
Two main reasons that I use this: it is faster than typing out a long phrase AND it keeps my last copied text. This is especially useful if you’ve got something to copy and paste over and over but you don’t want to lose it with each search.

…Hyundai first introduced cars here in the US? They were tiny, egg shaped, econo cars that, if I remember correctly, you could get for $5k or $6k. Apparently they’ve come a long way in 15 years or so. They’ve got their new Genesis that they’re advertising, and they’ve got a pretty slick microsite for that model.
I’m pretty impressed. Makes good use of video, some cool pseudo 3D stuff, and… I got there by clicking on a banner ad, so their ads are good too. Pretty nice campaign altogether.

Ok, maybe it’s just me, but I’m not feeling Google’s new favicon… you know the little web page icon near the URL.
When I think Google, I think “big G” not “little g”. Even stranger, is that they actually WERE the big G and made a conscious effort to be little. Maybe it’s just me, but seriously – do they realize how this could impact the way people interpret their brand?
All I’m saying is don’t be surprised if they regress a little after a move like this. Never underestimate the power of an authoritative capital letter!
