I wish more companies would do something like this. Honestly, IE9 and all the surrounding tech media is really leaving an awesome impression on me. Gestures like this prove that the IE team wants to take part in a modern internet world much more than any standard compliance chart ever could. On a side note, I found Office 2010/2011, IE9 and Windows 7 a joy to use. And this is in stark contrast to Office 2003/2008, IE…

Nothing will ever bring back hours of IE6 workaround time, or change my mind about using a Windows computer.

Cumulatively, developers and clients paid millions in billable hours for their neglect in monopoly.

They couldn't warm up to me even if they swapped their board of directors with Sesame Street characters.

Is that the IE3 icon on the cake? Or maybe it's because the cake don't support full-resolution png icing. Anyways, huge improvement over the first one, which was only black and white: http://fredericiana.com/2006/10/24/from-redmond-with-love/

See.. Back in 2006 they couldn't even produce a dotted border on a cake, let alone in the browser.

The cake is a lie!

So I've been tracking my karma on this post, its gone something like

1 -> 2 -> 0 -> 5 -> 2 -> 4 -> 0

Appears to be a submartingale(maybe) Ok I stuffed up the experiment by posting this, the sequence after the 5th observations are no longer independent and invalidated.
