A Denver design firm is holding a funeral for Internet Explorer 6.  The late browser is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight. Basic black is encouraged.

Great story about what to do with your digital artifacts. Rocketboom, yeah.

We all know Elvis left the building in August of 1977.  However, an airport scanner doesn’t agree. A hacker decided to show how iffy biometric scanning is at airports, so they ran through a passport with the King’s image on it, and..”Thank-you sir, enjoy your flight.”

Is his Hooters Calendar app about to get the boot?  App developer Phil Yerkes doesn’t think so.  But you never know. (Disclaimer: I think Hooters is absolutely tacky, but they do have great wings and clam chowder.  Honest. My wife doesn’t buy that, but it’s true.) Apple’s new crusade to clean up the App Store has a lot of folks upset, like MG, for instance.

Being the benevolent dictator that he is, El Jobso allowed COO Tim Cook to speak from a carefully prepared and approved script at Goldman Sach’s tech confab in San Francisco. Get the live blogging details here. Below, Dear Leader shows Cook how short the leash is.

Google has become a predominant force in many people’s lives, especially those of us that are tech-inclined. CNET’s Tom Krazit knows this, and here’s his report on trying to kick the Google habit for one week. Update: I tried to do the same thing (unofficially) and I lasted three days.  I thought, “Yahoo Mail, here I come. Firefox, where’s that icon?” Couldn’t last. Chrome is just so good, and Gmail is so snappy, and I use Google Images a ton…sorry.  I tried.  But they’ve got me. Now, if El Jobso can see it in his heart to send me out a new MacBook Pro, then Apple can have me, too.

Intel says the Chinese hackers that whacked Gmail also paid them a visit, too.  This info disclosed in a regulatory filing.  Intel dismisses any connection, though- it was just a matter of “timing.”

“We regularly face attempts by others to gain unauthorized access through the Internet to our information technology systems by, for example, masquerading as authorized users or surreptitious introduction of software. These attempts, which might be the result of industrial or other espionage, or actions by hackers seeking to harm the company, its products, or end users, are sometimes successful. One recent and sophisticated incident occurred in January 2010 around the same time as the recently publicized security incident reported by Google.”
