Firefox sucks.

It's nuts, I went into the Apple store in the mall yesterday, and it was absolutely PACKED. It kinda makes me mad, seeing these 5 year old kids running around going "iPod nano! iPod nano!" I'm considering getting a Mac Mini, but I refuse to get an iPod until my CD collection reaches 200.

I picked up a Samsung Samsa at best buy for 89 bucks. 1GB, radio tuner, small as a Mini and pretty rugged, works well in the gym. I'm really having trouble seeing how the ipod is so much more revolutionary than the Creative Nomad I had 6 years ago.

The Mac Mini is the biggest waste of money since the Power Mac Cube.

It's a cool looking little machine but very underpowered and from the looks of it requires a service centre to upgrade memory for you or you may void the warrenty. My bosses Father bought one which I set up and I was very unimpressed. For a 1.4 GHz machine it felt really slow.

Firefox is a band aid fix for those of you that have fucked up your computers with porn and warez sites. My system has been running with XP Pro SP2, IE6 for about 8 months now and IE has never once 1) froze 2) stalled 3) given me a popup 4) given me a virus 5) gotten even ONE item of spyware.

charlie, it seems like you shit and giggle a lot

Mmmm. I just downloaded FF 1.5 Release Candidate 1 and it is considerably faster than the last version. (1.0) Never had problems with FF and I can't stand not being able to customize my browser now. I NEED adblock. And I much prefer the inline download bar (extension) vs a separate window.

Firefox has surpassed the 10% mark... IE still at 85.5% though...

[AdamF 88iS]

I've been using firefox for a while just because I like the tabs; but it does choke once in a while and is slower than IE on certain things as Charlie has said. After IE7 comes out I'll swtich back.

google is not the shit.

And it's all because of one little white gizmo, and 4 little letters.

This is true, but wait for the "halo effect" to actually come into play. Once consumers figure out that apple not only makes good mp3 players, but computers as well, they will eventually begin to replace their machines with Macs, and slowly but surely, apple will continue to grow. With the x86 Macs on the horizon, and the possible prospect of an x86 version of OS X being released with compatibility for most common hardware, their market share will grow exponentially. Soon, on the advent of actual competition in the pc market, enter Google.
The search-based giant will begin marketing their OS to anyone willing to submit their personal files for data storage on Google’s servers. Slowly but surely, Google will begin their takeover. With their knowledge of what everyone searches for, their OS will gradually shift to accommodate the individual consumer based upon his interests. When you add the spam that many people know as a "blog" to the mix, your Google-based machine will be able to tailor the news to exactly what you want to read. Tweak a few preferences, and boom, you're set. The computer pulls together excerpts of various online blogs related to the same story and gives you some chopped up "soft" form of news.
This is what will happen if Google continues to grow as it has been. With their "features" such as Froogle, Google Images, and Google Video searches, digital media may be entirely stripped from a user's hard drive and stored on Google’s servers. Add their goal of increased overall bandwidth to the mix, and soon the need for a hard drive will be meaningless, with all but the OS running from Google’s remote servers. At this point, the open-source community rejoices that they have been spared from this mess, and maybe one day they will join forces under on moniker to target the average computer user...

Anyways, I use FF on my Windows desktop, and stick with safari on my powerbook. I've never had any issues with firefox since I've had it, save the couple of websites that I've encountered that just don't like it. Safari is still the way to go on the Mac OS, however. No argument there.

Rob wins.

Firefox works fine for me, I mainly surf forums and google image search

[uflnuceng]

.45 ACP > 9mm

But Rob will still probably get a better shot than me and win anyway.

I'm thinking you're still sleeping... pretty interesting work of fiction though. I don't think people will read in the future so the first company to come up with a virtual news desk will win that e-cock battle.
