IE6's 'Death' Spurs Web Designers to Celebrate
A Denver Web design firm will hold a tongue-in-cheek funeral for Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) on March 4 to celebrate the aged browser's decline.
The design company, Aten Design Group, announced IE6's funeral on Monday with a site, ie6funeral.com, that offered a short obituary and an invitation to a wake.
"Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010, in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc.," the obit read. "Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as 'IE6,' is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight."
