Microsoft says they are testing out a patch for IE6..to counter the Chinese hacker mess with Gmail.  Microsoft’s George Stathakopoulos says they won’t know a release date until Wednesday at the earliest.  In an entirely magnanimous gesture, it appears they will have it out prior to the next regularly-scheduled patch date of February 9. (Um, dude- don’t bother; everyone’s switching to Firefox or Chrome.) Bonus- here’s what the whole thing looks like, and good luck to you if you can make sense of it.
