During the early 00s nobody cared about anything else than IE because there was no decent alternative (Netscape was hell at the time), so, anything written/acquired back then only really supported IE. Rather than spend money on making it work with newer browsers, the companies decided that they'd just set IE6 as a requirement and force companies to either pay for costly migrations to more modern software, or keep IE6 installed.

Why did someone write Linux when Unix was already out there? Why was Mario created when there were already other platform games out there? It's going to get harder and harder to come out with original ideas, e.g. look at any game released in the last 10 years, you can count truly innovative ones on both hands. But yet there's still games that come out, using a tried and tested formula, that are better than the rest. If there was no cloning, we'd have very few new games coming out ever.

George and co-star Ewan McGregor were holding a press conference in Venice, Italy to uphold their latest film at the Venice Film Festival. A guy stood up and declared he was gay and proclaimed his adore for George. If that wasnâ(TM)t sufficient he proceeded to strip down to his underwear and tie and asked the artist for a kiss. George was amazed to speak the least but he took the incident in superior humor."
