I was very pleased to see this in my inbox this morning, hopefully this will help to phase out more out dated clunky browsers.

“Dear Google Apps admin,

In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 ​as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.

We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.

Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser. We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change.

In 2009, the Google Apps team delivered more than 100 improvements to enhance your product experience. We are aiming to beat that in 2010 and continue to deliver the best and most innovative collaboration products for businesses.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

The Google Apps team

Please help spread the word to ban the use of IE and recommend the use of web standards compliant browsers the likes of

1. Firefox
2. Chrome
3. Safari

I use all of these across both PC and Mac they are in order of my preference, but I have to say I only use Firefox more because of it’s advanced features it has available, through the huge add-ons library.

But for those that want simplicity I would definately recommend Googles Chrome. Make sure you have a copy of Firefox just incase you come across an old school website that is quirky and wont display properly in chrome I have found a couple. But honestly  if you can’t view a page in either of these it’s not worth looking at anyway.

Please ditch IE today your thank me once you make the step.

Enjoy and be inspired Richard Branson

The day has finally arrived and my new iPhone 3gs is in my hands. And it feels great! Everything I had expected and a whole load more. For the Social Networkers it is a dream come true, the thing I have done is load up the following Apps after setting up my email but before downloading my music from iTunes:

• Facebook
• bump
• Twitterific
• linked In
• and now WordPress

Hence this post!

The iPhone is an incredible smart phone and extremely intuitive and easy to set up, even my wife has managed to set hers up herself with surprisingly few questions. I’m very impressed and so far it’s lived up to my expectations.

That’s it for now back to playing with my new toy.

Every day we all get asked at least one question by someone we know, whether it be a friend or family member or a pier at work. When you think about it its very complementary to be asked a question, no matter what it is. The act of asking questions is a basic fundamental skill that defines us as humans. This is a skill we have developed that enables us to learn at an accelerated rate compared to other species. How you might ask?

Well we know that when we ask someone who has more experience about something than we do we are able to tap into their knowledge on that subject, no matter how big or small the question. Gaining this knowledge directly from someone we think may know the answer is basically a short cut to the knowledge or even skill.

Therefore logic suggests that the more questions we ask the faster we learn the more ‘intelligent we will become’.

So how many questions did you ask today?

Therefore the more questions you are asked in a day is a direct reflection of how intelligent you are.

So how many were you asked today?

Some of the question’s people asked of me today.

1. How do I read a .rar file?
2. What is the approximate cost of a 62″ TV & Outdoor PA system?

So get motivated and set the goal of how many questions can I answer for other people today and never ever leave a question unanswered. Enjoy and be inspired. Richard Branson
