IE6 is the 1% »

Very good news.

iOS has More than Half of Mobile Web Browsing Marketshare »

“These figures are interesting because they don’t fit in with other metrics that show Android is the leading mobile OS… This difference is likely the result of mobile Safari which, in my opinion, offers a better browsing experience than Android.”

Google+ Traffic up 55% »

I don’t spend much time on Google+ but I’m glad to see that it’s growing.  I don’t really use or like Facebook but I definitely see myself using G+ more and more as it get more popular. (via)

Facebook Dropping Support for IE7 »

Facebook has opted against partial Timeline support in IE7, instead choosing to ignore this browser version altogether, suggesting that this is the beginning of plans to phase-out support for Microsoft’s five year-old browser.

Windows Phone Market Share Down »

I really like Windows Phone.  They are thinking outside the box with the whole metro UI… unlike some other companies.  If the iPhone didn’t exist, I think I would be using a Windows Phone.  Microsoft really needs to turn their market share ship around and start selling some phones. (via)

Drew Brees Breaks Dan Marino’s Passing Record »

“Not only is Brees now the single season passing yardage leader, he’s only the second quarterback ever to crack the 5,000-yard passing barrier and the only quarterback in NFL history to hit that mark twice in their career.”

I posted this last year but I think it’s so funny that I had to post it again.

Just another reason I’m glad I moved back to WordPress. (via)

iOS 5 Concept Notification Center »

Very cool concept from Apple’s new UI/UX intern, Jan-Michael Cart.  Hope this actually makes it’s way into iOS. (via)

Kindle Sales Numbers »

“I hope, for the sake of honesty, that Amazon’s claim about the Fire’s dominance is based on combined model-family numbers: that is, I expect from their press release, assuming the basic Kindle 4 with ads is the second-best-selling model, that the Fire is beating the combined Kindle 4 family (with and without ads), not just the one with ads.”

Bye Bye Grooveshark »

“Grooveshark executives personally uploaded copies of songs to which they didn’t have the rights…”

404 Redirected »

Since moving from WordPress to Tumblr then back to WordPress many of the links on my site have changed.  In my analytics I could see that the 404 page was getting a good amount of traffic.  This great little plugin helps you track 404s and redirect common 404s to the correct links.

CSS Tricks is Safe »

Glad Chris got it all worked out.  I still wouldn’t use GoDaddy.
