Starting in March Google will drop support for the Internet Explorer 6 browser. This move, entitled in their blogs as “Modern Browsers for Modern Applications” was justified not only by the age of the browser but also aiming to provide a better service for Google Docs and other online applications.
The initiative began months ago and now it seems to be a reality. The problem: old browsers are slow, unsecure and don’t support new tecnology standars like CSS and AJAX correctly.
Some people claim that this move was also influenced by the recent attacks to Google in China were Operating System and Browser vulnerabilities were exploited in order to harm Google’s network.

El costo del servicio de Internet Celular aumentará de $6 (¢3.500) a $24 (¢13.500) a fin de mes o en febrero cuando el ICE duplique la velocidad de conexión.
Este aumento solamente afecta a los usuarios de líneas 3G. Los usuarios de líneas GSM seguirán con la misma tarifa. Esta movida es para equilibrar los precios entre los servicios y evitar competencia entre los mismos ya que es lógico (y mucha gente lo ha comentado) que tener una conexión de 1.5 Mbits en el celular sería mucho mas barato que tener la misma conexión con Acelera o con Amnet, por poner un ejemplo. Ya que se puede usar el celular como módem para conectarse a Internet.
La SUTEL autorizó el aumento mientras que el ICE garantice que esa es la velocidad de funcionamiento del servicio.
