Web browsers battle to convert IE6 users
Wikipedia: History of Internet Explorer
I wish I could be there to delete, format or physically destroy the very last IE6 installation in existence. Probably somewhere in the year 2027… at which point the resistance would send me back to Redmond in 2000 to stop Microsoft from attaching this thing to Windows in the first place.
DISQUS is pretty neat, but there’s no built-in way to make it obey the WP setting of ‘Allow comments on this post’. After a quick search around, I figured it out.
Around line 120 (you might need to copy this out into a text editor), add the following line.
if ( 'closed' == $post->comment_status ) { return false; }
Thanks to Ted Aronson for the tip, found on this blog.
UPDATED: 4 Mar 2011, new line number for code as plug-in has changed.
UPDATED: 3 Sep 2011, tip no longer relevant, functionality appears to be built-in to Disqus for WordPress, see last comment below.
I’d be the last person who would call themselves an Apple fanboy but I don’t hate the company either. I own two iPods, use iTunes and was pretty close to buying an iPhone (opted for a HTC Magic, Android OS instead). I’ve had a chance to use Macbooks too so I like what they do overall, but it’s easy to see what happens when you don’t have a commitment to “not do evil” that Google aspires to.
Apple’s Chickenshit Approval Process Has Gone Too Far
Apple in hot water over ‘exploding iPhones’
Blocking competition from the Apple App Store is one thing, covering up exploding hardware is another, I’m a big supporter of open-platforms and would love it if my friends who have iPhones could have access to the same awesome Google apps I do.
I might not be a regular Apple fan but I’ll think even longer now before buying any more of their products, or using iTunes for music and movies. Incidentally, just the other week I rented a movie on iTunes for the first time.
It’s interesting to see how long they’re going to let this public relations disaster continue.

The tip that I would add for IMAP from my own experience:
(updated) 4Chan launches embarrassing attack on devout Christians on Facebook
Why you need to be careful with programs that can post photos to Facebook. [REALLY NSFW]
This is why 4Chan are not a hacking group. What self-respecting hacker would post an innocent woman’s sex-toy order invoice without cropping out the person’s name and address? Also, it’s one thing to target Scientology but what exactly have these guys done besides being Christians? Not funny.
Even though Sparky passed away a couple of years ago, he lives on in spirit. I used this image extensively at my first job to test image uploaders, so much so that the other employees at Eclipse grew to know Sparky too.
roooof!
RIP little guy! <3
