That's great to hear. Update-fatigue drove me away from Firefox. Chrome raised the bar with their seamless update system, I'm glad to hear that FF is up to meeting the challenge!

What an egregiousness abuse of user trust. I hope this destroys their brand forever.

I had to register my Apple ID. Apple's site disallows copying and pasting in the password field. I really REALLY hope this isn't a trend, because I use strong passwords for everything, and these 128-bit monsters will make your hands explode

This looks expensive. How well does this scale?

The comments in these gadget threads are so polarized, it's positively toxic.

I wish I could filter out the gadget-fanboyism. I guess I couldn't read it, but it's exasperating to see how much animosity is inflamed by such a petty subject.

Slick! How about a "quick create" option, like in Google Calendar? That's how I create all my Calendar entries, though your average user is probably more adept at mousing than free text entry :P

I think HyperCard was special in that other people's stacks were easy to come by, and easy to disassemble. There was no compiled distributable form, all stacks could be cracked open if you wanted to see how they ticked, and just modified ju

HyperCard is very near and dear to my heart. When I was a kid I taught myself how to program with Hypercard. I'm a software developer today, and despite the crazy verbose syntax of HyperTalk, I still acquired an intuition for programming th

It's not a zero-sum game when you bring in bright people. Smart people create opportunity around them. On the other hand, I'm not so enthusiastic about lowering immigration barriers so we can get cheap workers to robotically throw together

The push to Unity made me try alternate window managers. I've ended up sticking with Awesome, which is a pretty sweet tiling window manager. More minimalistic than it needs to be, but still, the core functionality is great. I have multiple

I think that the FCC under Michael Powell would've approved this with nary a second thought. His M.O. was paying lip service to the disruptive adaptive powers of free markets and modern technology when people accused him of unfairly grantin

Not to quibble, but: 1) real estate is cheaper, but the cooler market works both ways - there's a surplus of RE that makes selling a slow and painful process 2) that ferry's not cheap either! :) I have friends that make a motorcycle+ferry c

His columns are almost always written about Apple's actions either in hindsight or in the very near term future, but he makes very few predictions or longer-term insights.

I just made that my proportional-width font on Ubuntu. A major improvement over the default Sans.

They aren't using a pentile layout anymore - it resulted in fuzziness while rendering line art.

"Moving the Javascript to the bottom" - wouldn't the best thing to do would be to invoke the JS from onLoad? And put the code in a separate minified JS file, so it can be cached?
