Provide browser support to IE8 or no
I am creating some new layouts which would work on both desktop (IE,FF,Safari) and mobile browsers (mainly tablets like iPad)

Now the UI designs have a lot of touch-based things, curved borders/gradients, audio/video, etc and would be completely fluid (no fixed px)

To summarize, it seems like using HTML5, CSS3 would be a better approach even from a future perspective. However, IE8 (one of the major browsers) has limited support for HTML5/CSS3 and no media query support. While some of these things have workarounds, I am not really sure whether supporting IE8 would be a good idea.

I wanted to know if there are any major websites which have officially stopped supporting IE8 and if yes, which are they ?
