A month after we discussed Google's bringing SVG to IE, several readers let us know that Google is expanding the beachhead by offering Chrome's renderer and speedy Javascript execution in an IE plugin. This effort is in service of allowing IE to participate in Google Wave when that technology's preview is extended in a week's time. The plugin, currently in an early stage of development, is called Google Chrome Frame.

First they ignore you..
Then they laugh at you...
Then you make plugins for their browser.

It's like the three stages of high school relationships, isn't it? Ignore, laugh, plugin.
I'm on slashdot. How the hell would I know?

Actually I find that often the solution is decided to be "less management". Hundreds of managers get fired.
But somehow in the end, we end up with more management, even though we have less managers.

I'd use this new browser to watch Steve's fit when hears google is subverting IE.
I'd would then like to see the video of Steve watching this video on IE and realising that it uses the HTML5 video tag and is in OGG Theora.

Can you defend this claim? Because based on my experiences *using* CSS over the last 7 years, there hasn't been a time when any version of IE could even claim they weren't maddeningly, brokenly worse.
IE properly requires the tbody element when adding DOM tables to a document! :P
