Google將放棄老舊的瀏覽器 - Google

Those using IE7, Safari 3, Firefox 3.5 and their predecessors to view Gmail,
Google Calendar, Talk, Docs and Sites will then lose some functions.
使用IE7、Safari 3、Firefox 3.5和更舊版本的瀏覽器閱覽Gmail、Google Calendar、
Talk、Docs將會失去部分功能。

Eventually, it warned, these web services will stop working for those
sticking with older browsers.
最終Google將會停止對這些瀏覽器的服務。

The move is part of a trend to stop the use of ageing browsers which can be
insecure and not sophisticated enough to handle the latest web technologies.
這項舉動是未來趨勢的一部份，停止使用那些不安全和不精密足以應付最近的網路技術的
過舊的瀏覽器。

Google made its announcement in a blogpost saying its engineers were keen to
make use of the latest capabilities in browsers, and that required support
for HTML5 technology.
Google做出聲明說在bolgpost的工程師們很想利用最新的技術在瀏覽器上，而且需支援
HTML5技術。

......

Globally about 11% of browsers are IE6, suggest figures compiled by
Microsoft, and there is a wide variation around the world.
全球大約有11%的閱覽器是IE6，這數據由Microsoft所表明，而且在世界各地有很大的差
異。

About 34% of Chinese net users are on IE6, as are 22.3% of South Koreans and
11.6% of Vietnamese people.
約有34%的中國網路用戶在用IE6，同樣的南韓有22.3%，而越南有11.6%的人。

套一句Google的slogen，"Don't be Evil"，這項舉動完全符合這個信念，
願IE6能消失，無論是全世界，或是台灣。
