Chrome’s rearview mirror: Firefox, now IE
It's been over a decade and a half since Microsoft's Internet Explorer became the reigning champ as the most used Web browser in the world and it continued to hold that title.....until recently. Enter Google Chrome. Google's Web browser was released in the last...
Chrome Just Keeps Getting Cooler
Google Chrome has been my browser of choice for quite some time now because it's as nice to code for as it is to use. It's fast to open, page loads are speedy, it's very stable, and quite minimalistic. However, there's very little in life that I'll like, much less...
‘Delete Email as Trash’….Finally!!
So this post is a little behind, but I was unaware of a fantastic new Gmail feature until a couple days ago, so I figured others may still be unaware as well. I use Gmail a lot (multiple times every day), as it's my main email account. I also have an iPhone that I use...
NaNaNaNa, NaNaNaNa, Heeeyyyyy, Goodbye!!!!
Goodbye IE6!! It's been a long time coming, but usage of the long-outdated Internet Explorer 6 has finally dipped below 1% in the United States, earning the US a spot in the champions circle. Microsoft started IE6Countdown.com in 2011 to raise awareness of the...
SOPA, PIPA…WTF?
So I'm sure everyone and their brother has heard at least the term SOPA and perhaps PIPA by now, but I thought I'd write a little something about it, too. Which is interestingly ironic, since writing something on a public blog, as I am, is exactly what I'd NOT be...
Goodbye, Steve.
Icon. Game changer. Relentless. Inspirational. Dedicated. These are all words to describe a brilliant individual whom the world will never forget. It's literally all over the news and Internet only a few hours after it happened, so I'm sure you all know by know, but...
What the browser?!
We've been talking about Web browsers and some of their technical features a lot lately so I thought I'd take a break and touch on the more obvious visual differences you'll see on pages loaded in the browsers. To do this, I made a page (linked below) showcasing one...
A story about IE 6
As you may know, Microsoft is trying to get people everywhere to move off of Internet Exploder 6 and upgrade to the most current version of IE (IE 8 if XP, IE 9 if Vista or Windows 7). If you don't know about this, feel free to check out a previous post of ours to...
Browser Security: IE9 in 1st, Chrome in 2nd
Continuing with our Web browser-news theme, check out this article highlighting Google's Chrome as being 'most improved' in this year's Web browser security tests - beating out Safari and Firefox. It's a little long, but everyone could use a little more knowledge...
Get outta here, IE6.
Alright!! As of July 2011, under 10% of the world was still using Internet Explorer 6...lets keep that number dropping! The U.S. is now under 2%, which is getting very close to the goal of under 1% IE6 usage. We upgraded 3 IE6 users to IE8 last week, and 2 more this...
“Ya’ll can get to bloggin’ bout bologna.”
Hello World! Just had to make that the first post (#developerjoke). So this is The WIT Blog, where we'll feature new, interesting, comical, or just plain random posts regarding digital technology and other stuff. It's our first (and very much late to the game),...
