Software and web developers all the world over have been waiting years for this moment.

IE 11 is about as good as IE could ever get, in most regards. Now we wait for Edge to take over...

We have been taught that there are things you buy and things you take out loans to pay for. The smart/conservative people try and buy as much as they can and limit the number of things they take out loans for.

However, I think it is now more accurate to divide things into those we pay for once and those we pay for over and over again. So things like utilities, phone service, and now computer products come under the heading "things we pay for over and over again".

I believe that business is moving toward a model where fewer and fewer things are "pay for once" and more and more things are "pay for over and over again". Even things referred to as 'durable goods' are often not quite so durable and need to be replaced since repairing them is as expensive or more than replacing.

We are being turned into endless revenue streams.

I’ve gotta admit I like the Edge.

Anybody remember when IE 8 introduced "Private Browsing" and ran the infamous "OMG-IGP" ad?

I have Vista on my home machine and had to abandon IE for Chrome because YouTube and other media rich sites would not render properly on IE9

Ruh Roh, since I’m still on XP, what will I do without Internet Explorer?
