Mac software review site Apple Legal seems to be attempting to promote standards by smacking users of Internet Explorer upside the browser with the following notice. It’s mostly true, but rather oddly-worded at that. While I’m the last person to advocate the use of Internet Explorer over other fine web browsing packages, there are other more graceful and bluntly effective ways of discouraging its use. One would be to simply refuse to serve the CSS to non-compliant browsers. That fact that Apple Legal includes a disclaimer at the bottom of this notice regarding the apparent flakiness of their browser sniffing code, just implicates them as part of the reason that their site doesn’t work as well as it could. And while some people are moving past web standards as something that needs their full attention, it’s apparent that others still need a bit more time in study hall. [ Update ] The link to the Apple Legal screen grab works now. Sorry, kids.
