Internet Explorer 6 usage in the US dips below one percent, Microsoft celebrates with a t-shirt
It looks like the web browser that wouldn’t die is finally on its last legs. While it’s not quite dead yet (especially when you consider the worldwide usage figures), use of Internet Explorer 6 in the United States has now officially dropped below one percent for the first time, which is apparently good enough for Microsoft to do a bit of celebrating. It’s now sending out shirts like the one above to select folks, who can now wear their disdain for the out-of-date browser

Internet Explorer holds onto top browser crown while Chrome and Firefox tussle over second place
Both Net Applications and StatCounter have released their figures for browser market share for 2011 and it makes for largely unsurprising reading. Internet Explorer’s full share has dropped but it still maintains the top spot — a 52 percent share according to Net Applications and 39 percent according to StatCounter. Meanwhile, second place remains tantalizingly within reach for Chrome, which has made headway catching up with Firefox, whose growth had apparently stalled during 2011

Chrome stable channel hits version 16, adds multi-user sync support (video)
Subscribers to the beta and dev channels of Google’s browser have been enjoying the fruits of the company’s syncing labor for sometime now. But, with the stable release of Chrome 16, the Mountain View crew is finally bringing those features to less adventurous users. An entry in the wrench menu offers you the option to “sign in to Chrome,” automatically syncing your installed apps, extensions, bookmarks, browsing history and settings.

HCI Roommate III puts Android powered TVs in hospitals
Many companies have tried their hand at Android-powered TVs and set-top boxes outside of the Google TV ecosystem before, but HCI’s Roommate III is apparently the first line destined for the sterile environment of hospitals .

Behind Amazon’s Silk browser lurks a really fast supercomputer
We were hardly shocked to see Fujitsu atop the most recent list of the world’s fastest supercomputers, but perhaps more surprising is the fact that Amazon cracked the top 50, as well. Turns out, the company’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) servers are powered by a Linux-based, 240-teraflop beast that boasts 17,024 cores, 66,000 GB of memory, and a ten gigabit Ethernet interconnect. That’s good for 42nd place on Top 500′s global rankings, and it’s also good enough to power Silk, the browser you’ll find on the Kindle Fire. But Amazon has a long way to go before catching up with the Fujitsu K, which recently cracked that vaunted ten petaflop barrier.
