the second badge at the bottom (the small one) has its own countdown timer. seems there's an off-by-one-month bug.

(i always wondered why some libraries treat jan as 0 but the first day of the month as 1)

Reports of IE6's death are greatly exaggerated.

We run a SAAS app. We recently saw IE4 in our logs. Not a single one of our customers has upgraded past IE8.

IE6 is alive and well in many large companies.

it was unconscious for quite a while, so why did it die today?

Because it is off XP life support now.

XP has life support turned off, however, it'll still survive for a few years despite that.

The end of MS support doesn't seem to have caused any mass migrations off of windows XP, and it will be a long time until it's less popular than windows 8.

meanwhile IE 5 is alive in Wichita Kansas. Error message received today: HTTP_USER_AGENT': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; DigExt)

because the old thing doesn't like URLs without a protocol:

//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js

<WSGIRequest path:/ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js/
