OK, so I feel it is officially time to kill IE 6 and below. IE 6 has been the bane of web developers' existence for quite some time now. I say, just kill it. If your product manager whines and says "but we need to support all browsers" insist that they reconsider. Management and product managers don't understand the real cost associated with supporting this awful browser. Many think that it's simply a little more tweaking. It's not. If they truly knew how bad it is they'd understand.

The most dramatic thing at tonight's New York Tech Meetup was, far and away, Scott Heifferman, founder of Meetup.com, smashing an iPad on stage (yes, it was a real iPad). Perhaps the furor over Apple's ubiquitous onslaught of advertising got to him, perhaps it was to be dramatic, probably both. (He was telling us about a new feature on Meetup.com called "Meetups Everywhere" which allows anyone to spark Meetups around a specific topic all over the world.) His move was dramatic, albeit lacking in much of a point (His point was that his innovation is way more cool than the iPad.). http://meetup.com/everywhere
