the link above says it all. Check the pictures for hilarious examples. IE8 steals the show, but IE9 is busted too.

Oh, Microsoft.

At least we're all used to it by now. I just wish a major website would force users to upgrade to IE 9 by putting an annoying popup on it telling them to upgrade. Amazon, Youtube, eBay, Google, all of them just put on a giant popup saying their browser is not suitable for use and they need to upgrade to FF, IE9, Safari, Chrome, Opera or Firefox.

It's not IE 9 fault. The guy uses webkit specific (-webkit-) properties for CSS3. Chrome and Safri works properly, but only because they're based on webkit. Firefox and IE9 don't render it properly, because those browsers don't use the webkit specific properties. Microsoft took a stance on CSS3 and decided not to use engine specific extensions.

It's like running an OS X application on Windows; you can't. Same thing here.

They're only engine-specific because they haven't been fully adopted yet.

That's Google alright. For a stupid company they sure do dumb things.
