Apple gives us something we don’t want

Apple’s pretty crappy browser, Safari, is now available for Windows. Hooray?

Mac loyalists will argue it renders faster, it’s stable, yadda yadda. Well, not really. It’s not appreciably faster than Firefox, it lacks nearly all of Firefox’s improvements (many of which have now been aped by IE7) and it can’t even render quite a few standards-based pages that both Firefox and IE can render. (It’s an issue I face here at work where Freedom folks at remote locations see a totally different page than I see with Firefox or IE.)

How about a widescreen video iPod, Jobs?

Girl or Food?

Would guys rather eat fast food or get a lapdance? You’d think this would be a clear-cut answer, but it’s not.

More storage space is always a good thing.



Blizzcon 2007 in-game goody revealed

Tuesday, June 5, 2007, 12:07
Section: Geek

Murky 2005Blizzard has just announced the in-game (World of Warcraft, that is) goody for attendees at this year’s Blizzcon convention in Anaheim.

In 2005, it was the adorable pet murloc, Murky, who will sing and dance like the Looney Tunes frog when he gets bored.

This year, though, this year is so much better than another murloc baby, because it means those of us with Murky can have both rewards out at the same time: This time around, the prize is an in-game murloc suit. (Trust me, if you played WoW, you’d know how deeply awesome that is.)
