This is the one things that drives me nuts about the internet. People not updating there websites to work with the the new software. Shown above is Comcast.net, shown running in the newest version of Google Chrome (which is non beta). Why the heck do I have to say that I want the page to open anyway? Really is this what the web has come to? I like how it says on the page the following:

The web browser you’re using to view web sites appears to be out-of-date. In order to enjoy everything Comcast.net has to offer, you need to use a modern, standards-compliant internet browser.

Why upgrade?

• It’s Faster
• Better Security
• New features
• It’s free

Umm, Comcast if you haven’t heard Google Chrome is the fastest and most “up- to-date” browser out there. And don’t even come at me with the market share thing, because Google chrome has a large market share.

I have run into this on other sites, like Frappr for example.  Where it gave me a error for not having the newest version of flash. When really I had the most recent version but the site had not been updated to say “Hey you need flash 10” Instead when anything other then flash 9 was installed it showed an error. Just a note Frappr has fixed it bug, but still it should have been fixed sooner.

Why can’t companies keep their sites up to date on these sort of things. It is not like Google Chrome or Flash are fly by night applications. I mean really these two things should have been fixed in within days of both being released. Why can’t we just have a internet that works?
