Did they really just sign their shut-down notice with the words 'peace out'? I don't know why im surprised. Those two words sum up quite compactly the i-tell-myself-and-my-customers-i-give-a-shit-about-them-and-my-product-but-when-it-comes-down-to-it-i-honestly-could-care-less-ness that seems so prevalent in startup culture right now. What happened to genuinely giving a shit? I could actually summon a degree of respect for their decision if they had at least been real enough about it and added 'suckers' to the very end.
Once we recreate every single transition available on 90's era video mixers with javascript can we start using the language to actually break new ground?
If you care about your product you have to draw a line somewhere. The more developers that take a stance and don't support the criminal negligence of IE's support of broadly accepted standards the sooner we can all eliminate needless time costs of making sites agnostic to the point of stupidity.
Huh? The issue was with an .exe not being digitally signed and IE's scary warning that it might be malware. Very similar to what Apple are going to do in 10.8 (Gatekeeper).
So tired of misleading headlines like this that pump up engineer ego... stop feeling better than everybody and work with people as good as you think you are -- or stop complaining.
