Would you use 9 year old milk?

IE6 is compared to 9 year old milk – by MICROSOFT no-less.
I find this hilarious – because I compared it to 9 year old beer the other day. Another study also showed that people are better at using updated browsers at home than they are at work.
The IT departments are blaming it on “business critical systems” that require IE6.
WTF? A company that have not updated their routines or their software for 9 years – seriously I would not like to do business with those people.
For sure, IE 8 still has faults, but compared to the bastard child of a hundred maniacs it is a step in the right direction.
Harry Potter Theme park

Sneaky behind the scenes of the new theme park at io9.
Yes, I am a big child. I love theme parks. I went on the Rocking Roller-coaster at MGM 5 times in a row. I have never backed down from downright scary rides, neither have I backed out from downright silly or childish antics either.
Clearly I have more in common with my nephews than my peers, but I would love to go to this themepark.
What also interests me is how they are going to bring a magical world to life technologically without breaking the fourth wall. Moving portraits can be done using LED screens for sure, moving stair cases for sure, the candy (which I have tried) is a done deal. What about wands and magic duels – it could be a very very cool computer game that is live action.
Yes, I am looking forward to this.
