Perhaps as Firefox 3 hits the scene and all the memory leaks they’ve patched will make my Firefox stop hating me (and vice versa).
· Leaks? Memory? We never forgot about you. - Pavlov
Thank you. The Firefox post that has brought the most optimism into my world for awhile now.
· Firefox 3 Beta 1 now available for download - developer.mozilla.org
blah blah blah blah “Over 300 individual memory leaks have been plugged, and a new XPCOM cycle collector completely eliminates many more. Developers are continuing to work on optimizing memory use (by releasing cached objects more quickly) and reducing fragmentation.” blah blah blah
· Firefox Exploit can Hack Gmail - pcworld
Ouch. Don’t download .zip files from strangers. tar is your friend.
· Police to search for guns in homes - boston.com
Who needs civil liberties?
· Ten New Things in WebKit 3 - Surfin’ Safari
Firefox isn’t the only one coming out with new business. I’m using Safari more and more these days, although I still dislike it.
· Destination of ‘recycled’ electronics may surprise you - CNN
Sigh.
· Is it Smarter to Sell Your Vote or to Cast it? - Freakonomics
Sigh.
