[dba-Tech] FW: FW: FYI: Microsoft: Internet Explorer 10 Is The Most Energy-Efficient Browser, Uses Up To 18% Less Power Than Chrome And Firefox

 Hi Rocky --

Yes, Robotics, mobiles and "cloud" promise to be the main driving forces for nowadays "IT-revolution" - your son is on right track! ...

I must note I do not make that much web sites development to be concerned about IE10 compatibility issues.
