The front of the card is excellent (Guy Kawasaki), but I hate the back. In my mind, the most important part, after the name, is how to actually contact you. On Guy's card, that info just blends in with his three websites (seriously, he ne

The release version of Safari is several times faster than the release version of firefox. Firefox 3 will have pretty equivalent performance to the current Safari 3, but I suspect that won't hold true for long. The WebKit team has been do

DMGs auto mount by default if you use Safari (which the kind of people you're worried about would be doing). When they do, the window also automatically opens presenting them right away with the application. In the best case, they could ju

People do it here too. In fact, at startup school, Jessica told people just to search for something (I can't remember the specific topic, or find the video, since Omnisio clipped out the intros from their videos). I don't think we should g

Cory Doctorow jumped on the bandwagon of what he thought was a movement away from Apple, and in reality, these are basically the only two people who left. I doubt many at Apple were sad to see him leave.
