Facebook Timeline Doesn't Show in Internet Explorer 7 (Mashable)

If you don't like Facebook Timeline, all you have to do to get rid of it is use Internet Explorer 7 -- but be prepared for a buggy experience. Facebook's latest profile redesign is not visible in IE7, and the company might soon completely phase out support for the aging browser, ZDNet suspects. It took Facebook quite awhile to cut support for IE7's ancient predecessor, Internet Explorer 6. In August 2010, Facebook had announced that its chat feature will no longer support IE6, joining many other web services that gave up on the bug-ridden browser.

It seems that the same fate now awaits IE7, which currently has a market share of about 4%, according to StatCounter. When you open a Facebook profile with the new Timeline feature enabled, IE7 will simply show a buggy, old version of the profile.

Officially, Facebook says it recommends using the "most up to date" version of Firefox, IE, Safari or Chrome; it doesn't, however, mention support for older versions of these browsers.

If the move is intentional, it's hardly a surprising one. Once, support for older versions of browsers was an important feat for web services, especially popular ones. Now with many browsers, including IE, being automatically updated for users, there's little reason to keep using a browser that's more than 5 years old.

The United States of Songs: New Mexico

Hey everybody, welcome back! Hope you had a great holiday; I spent too much of mine inside with what is turning out to be a terrible back injury, so that was cool. But I did enjoy a Hawaiian Christmas with my in-laws, and I got to snorkel with sea turtles so I can't really complain too much.?

I?got you a present, but it escaped on the plane.

Every week I try to find a new state song that names the state in its title AND sings of the state itself, not just one city or feature. It's been a hell of a lot tougher than I thought it might be, but this week our sonic roadtrip across America brings us to New Mexico:

The state: New Mexico
The song: "New Mexico Rain" by Michael Hearne

Ah, The Land of Enchantment! I've been through New Mexico a few times on Old Route 66, but I've always been on my way somewhere else so I haven't had a lot of time to really explore the place beyond the obligatory postcard from Albuquerque and a great diner in Moriarty that I can't remember the name of. But New Mexico's more than that! Hispanic culture, Native American heritage, nuclear research, and hey! Spaceport! New Mexico's the place where your dreams will come true because there aren't a whole lot of people around to stop you.

There's also a proud tradition of medical research.

As for the song, it's kind of standard state-themed folk tune-ish, but Michael Hearne does the job. It's a little twangy, but it's earnest enough that you can close your eyes and see Redondo Peak standing tall over the scrub grass and ranch land. It's a peaceful tune, kind of wistful, and I feel like that's the sort of vibe you'd pick up just hanging out on a hot New Mexico afternoon or snuggling in for a cold high desert night.

New Mexicans, I present your new state song. Let me know how it hits you!

Runner-Up: "Nebraska" by Johnny Cash
Most Laughable Suggestion: "Elf Tower New Mexico" by Coheed and Cambria

You know the drill! Let us know in the comments if you've got a better tune for New Mexico or want to suggest one for next week's state, New York!

Toyota Launches 83 MPG Prius C In Japan, Takes 60,000 Pre-Orders

Banking on the success of the Prius brand, Toyota has expanded its hybrid offerings three-fold with the Prius Plug-In, Prius V, and upcoming Prius C. While both the Plug-In and V models of the Prius offer substantial steps up in technology and space (respectively), it is the diminutive Prius C that seems to have captured the attention of customers.

Having just put the Prius C on sale, Toyota has already received over 60,000 pre-orders for the compact hybrid, far exceeding their stated monthly sales goal of 12,000 units. Priced at about $21,000, the Prius C (called the Toyota Aqua in Japan) will offer customers exceptional fuel economy in an affordable package. On the Japanese testing cycle, the Prius C gets an 83 MPG rating. It?s important to note though that the standard Prius is rated at 76.6 MPG in Japan, so obviously the different methods of fuel economy standards do not translate.

Still, the Prius C appears to be about 10% more fuel efficient than the standard Prius, and if that?s the case, than the compact hybrid should be able to attain an EPA rating of about 55 mpg. Toyota will sell the Prius C all around the world, and it utilizes the same Synergy hybrid drivetrain as its larger cousin.

And you know what? I like it. GASP! I know! Chris DeMorro, hater of hybrids, likes a Prius?! Perhaps its the better looks, the more affordable price, or the potential for an eventual sporty coupe model?but to my tastes, the Prius C is world?s away a better looking car, despite sharing many, many styling cues with the standard Prius. I think it?s the rear end that makes the biggest different; unlike the Prius, the Aqua/C looks a lot more like a conventional compact car.

The Prius C should go on sale in America later this year. If they can shed two doors and give me a little more powah, well hell, I might be a Toyota owner sooner rather than later.
