MSIE6, blah blah blah
Posted on February 22, 2010 | No Comments
Sweet merciful fates, the continued existence and use of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 is getting as much publicity as the Linux-vs-Windows debate. If you're interested in this story, and we all know you're interested or these stories wouldn't keep popping up, there's an interesting examination of the reasons for MSIE6's prolonged existence online for your perusal. The usual suspects -- slow-moving change-averse mega-corporations on protracted refresh cycles, cheapskates, and ignorance -- are rounded out by at least one surprising addition.

Leaked docs show HTC’s DROID Eris launching on November 6th for $99, running Android 1.5
Posted on October 31, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, HTC, Verizon Wireless, Windows Mobile, EV-DO, CDMA
Like it or not, we've got it on pretty reasonable authority that HTC's first "DROID" phone is nothing more than a rebadged, shape-shifted Hero (something we've been hearing for a while now), and that it'll be launching on Verizon on November 6th, the same day as Motorola's DROID. That means Android 1.5 "Cupcake," Sense UI, 3.2-inch screen, 528MHz processor and so forth. The Eris will retail for $199 but with a $100 mail-in rebate. It'll pack in an 8GB microSD card and the hopes and dreams of a generation of cheapskates that will be hopin' and prayin' that HTC manages to push Android 2.0 onto this thing so they don't look too bad in front of their DROID-toting buddies on Verizon.
