Geeks to hold open casket funeral for Internet Explorer 6
Internet Explorer Six will not slip quietly into the night.
Nope.
More than a hundred computer geeks and fans are expected to attend a funeral for the outdated browser 7 p.m. today, Thursday, March 4, in Denver.
Aten Design announced the death of Internet Explorer 6 on the tongue-in-cheek website ie6funeral.com. It features an obit of sorts:
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. Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as “IE6,” is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.
IE6 isn’t dead exactly, but as CNN explains, its becoming obsolete and running out of friends. Younger, faster, cuter browser are replacing it in the hearts and minds of the computing public.
Google Docs and Google Sites stop supporting the still widely used browser Monday and YouTube will do the same March 13, CNN says.
The ‘funeral’ will include a “casket, a body, and from all appearances, mourners a-plenty,” an Aten representative told tomshardware.com.

“Project Runway” Fashion guru: Kardashian clothes are vulgar
Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian wear dresses, but that doesn’t mean they look like ladies.
“Project Runway” fashion guru Tim Gunn thinks the sisters look a lot on the trampy side.
He once again slammed the reality stars’ skintight, skank ‘style.’
“While it may have some sexiness to it, I find that it’s largely vulgar. I find it has a cheapness and a tawdriness,” Gunn said Thursday, March 4, on Joy Behar ‘s CNN Headline News show. “Now I am gong to have to worry about the Kardashian sisters attacking me with Naomi Campbell.”
This isn’t the first time Gunn has slammed the K sisters and their digs. He particularly does not like the line the trio created for bebe and released last month.
“I just think the Kardashians have an absence of taste and I don’t think that that should be perpetuated. I’m sorry I’m sounding like an old farty snob, but it bothers me,” he said according to the The Hollywood Gossip.
