Google’s social network Orkut reportedly plans to phase out support for Internet Explorer 6, igniting a long-simmering debate over continued use of the 8-year-old version of the browser. The current version is IE8. Microsoft intends to maintain support for IE6 in conjunction with its support for Windows XP — the OS that originally delivered it. Extended support for XP is scheduled to end in 2014. IE6 is still the choice of a significant portion of the computer-using community; however, many developers have come to loathe it.
IE has definitely taken its lumps & bruises over the years. I'm something of a browser guru and did come across a new, FREE app from Twonky Media that I wanted to call out here: www.twonkymedia.com/beam/
Twonky Beam is the latest product from Twonky Media -- it allows you to stream media direct from your browser to other DLNA&uPnP connected devices in your home.
I've been playing with it for the last week or so...connected to my Sony Bravia LCD KDL. Cool stuff, definitely check it out!
