The weekend is here! Sorry about our meager imacsposting lately, but we’re still reeling from the New Year’s Eve theft incident. I’m waiting to buy a new computer until the iMacs get a little bump. Macrumors.com just told me that “new Penryn based iMacs would be seen next Tuesday, continuing Apple’s pattern of weekly announcements since Macworld.” Fuck you, thieves! Seriously, you are scum and I hate you.

 

Firefox Keeps Updating the Shit Out of Itself—Is Safari 3 the Answer?

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

safariMaybe I’m out of the loop. I’ve been using Firefox for the past few years, but lately it’s just been updating constantly and doing other weird shit that frustrates me. I talked to a few of my nerd friends about the State of Browsers Today. Am I behind the times? Are you?

Meatloafing: do you use safari 3?
Ian: yeah
Meatloafing: so does ben. hmm. but you must use ff sometimes..
Ian: not really. no reason
Meatloafing: ok
Ian: “What’s the point of Firefox when you have Safari 3?”
Meatloafing: ok, noted
Ian: oh wait–safari 3 comes with leopard, so just upgrade.
Meatloafing: rite, i might
