This has to be the third or fourth story I read in recent weeks where someone made a post or tweet that was either inappropriately worded, or outright incorrect for its purpose, as this one looks to be. In all these cases, the account owners shrug it off as their account being hacked, as if it's something so common it happens to all of us weekly, in order to cover their ass.
It seems 'my account got hacked' is quickly becoming the 21st century 'my dog ate my homework' bullshit excuse. Let's just be sure not to forget the 'bullshit' part of that.

...writing out millions of checks for 1 dollar and nine cents! I see history may repeat itself.

If the US doesn't maintain its low status in these rankings, what other reason would they have to liberate more money from us and throw it into the fire of public education?

As limited as the Windows Store may be right now, your CAN search through it either by selecting the search charm or by hitting Win-Q. That will basically work as a contextual search for whatever app you have running at the moment you start your search. Win8 has a lot of new Win- keyboard shortcuts which you'd never really know about unless you searched for them, but they do make getting around a lot better.

For what its worth, I'm on Windows 8, thus I have IE10. I ran acidtest3, and believe it or not, it did score 100. I may not be the reputable source you are looking for... but I was just as surprised as you may be with the result. IE's been off my radar for too long for me to care either way though.

...and the one where Miami was simply 'Closed for Repairs'.

Just wait, that's the argument they're going to use on appeal.

I think in most cases it's not even a matter of having to reprogram the entire web application. The backend should need no updating (even though it may be preferable in some cases). I'd bet the majority of the issues are simply X will render in IE6 as designed, but nowhere else. And thats no big surprise. It's also not a big deal to fix. I cant be the only one here who thinks there's a world of difference between updating a frontend and redeveloping an entire web app. The former should take a small fraction of time/resources versus an entire rebuild, and in both cases the end result would be the same for the user. It sounds like there's a nice new emerging market for any of us who wish to play cleanup and make a few dollars for some easy work in the meantime.
