Yahoo! Acquires Oddpost
weiyuent writes "We all know the arrival of Gmail has initiated a new round of competition amongst the major webmail providers. Well, Yahoo! has acquired Oddpost and will be integrating Oddpost's amazing interface to strengthen its offerings. One might wonder though how to reconcile Oddpost's MSIE requirement with Yahoo!'s (thus far) cross-platform approach. Oh well, at least it will likely put an end to Oddpost's exasperating attempt to be cute in their communication."
It's clear that you've never developed a major website that has advanced CSS/DHTML functionality.
Those two elements make it impossible to reconcile any app of complexity with a single codebase. For this reason, Oddpost made the right decision and just forked their development efforts into making each browser's implementation perfect.
Note that I'm particularly focusing on DHTML, and apps of complexity. The little training CGI programs you've written don't apply here.
Get a clue, stop talking out of your ass, kthx.

yeah because blind people are so prevalent on the internet. We don't support Netscape 4 anymore with 2% share, but let's go out of our way to support blind people with .0013% share, just because we have kind hearts.
