On Saturday, February 20, 2010 a historical event will take place online. Commodore VIC-20 – a 30ish years old, 8bit home computer will post a message on the fastest growing micro-blogging site, Twitter. 1 MHz, 5KB RAM beast will be one of the slowest computers ever connect to the Internet.

All web developers have been wishing slow and painful death to MS’s Internet Explorer 6 for a decade now. Even Microsoft supports war against their one of the many horrible creations, especially after Google was hacked thanks to IE6. But still, many users still continue using it no matter how unstable and unsafe it is.
As you surf the net, you see a lot ads. Some are more eye catching than others. Companies spend big bucks to make theirs most unique and eye appealing. But do some go overboard?
Evony - a massively multiplayer online real time strategy game has a very interesting ad campaign floating around the net. The main focus of their ads are pair of breasts. My guess is they are so desperate for traffic, they switched to "Sex sells" strategy.
Large percentage of people still use IE6, I never got why. That thing is full of security flaws, doesn't follow W3C rules, and is long past its due-date. If you ever designed a website from scratch, you know how annoying M$ Internet Explorer 6 is (7 can be pain sometimes too).
Web developers/designers have to spend hours writing hacks so that piece of crap browser rendered their CSS properly. And let's not forget PNGs, that thing will butcher them like there's no tomorrow.
If your computer is running OEM version of Windows, you probably can see that ugly D(H)ell, HP, or whatever your computer manufacturer is logo in your System Properties window.
I will show you how to get rid off it or change it to something else.
