I received this link on one of my mailing lists and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Following up on my “Flash is dead” post, you can enable Youtube.com to work in HTML5.
Go to: http://www.youtube.com/html5 and you can “opt-in”. I assume it places a cookie in your browser so that every time [...]
In a big move by Google I just received an email letting me know that Google will be phasing out support for IE6 in Google Apps in 2010.
