I understand the importance of failing gracefully, but we're really appealing to the least common denominator. If you wrote C code like the Acid test, you wouldn't expect it to compile. Why should we hold browsers to a higher standard? Granted, the guy writing the CSS could be a marketing major working at an internship for little or no pay.
Google News will come out of beta once they learn how to turn a profit on it. However, once they start selling ad space on it, their usual method of generating revenue, they're going to run into violations from the sites their scraping news from.

Really? Maybe it's my version of Outlook (2003). But there's a header that's part of the message specifying what account sent it, and that's still the gmail account. Gmail just shows the

Awesome except the sender is still the gmail account. Outlook shows the message coming from:
"joe@gmail.com on behalf of Joe Nobody [joe@nobody.com]"
I could already set the reply to address, I'm not sure what this really gains me.
"FYI, if the letter following the c is an 'e' or 'i', the default action is a soft c sound, so the 'tail' (officially called a cédille) would not be necessary"

"Not only is this article over 1 months old (28th June - see bottom of article - back when Bill Gates was in Japan), it's also a bad interpretation of what Bill Gates said that day."

Does anybody else see the irony of a post modded "Insightful" using the word "retards"?
Why should we care if a browser passes the Acid Test? The Acid Test has nothing to do with standards because Acid itself is invalid syntax.
You must be confused, it was Netscape that was gold.
I prefer GMail Drive, even if it is a little buggy.

Weren't they required by the SEC to sell off that stock (or at least some of it) within one year (or some other amount of time) of going public?

Got a little trigger happy with the submit button...
...Gmail just shows the "From" address but other clents (I've only looked at Outlook 2003) are more forthcoming.

Shouldn't that be?

Wait for it... wait for it...
