    Firefox on Mac doesn't reliably render http://surfline.com/ [surfline.com]

    I think it's rather surprising that it renders at all. Can't fix the world, son.

    Are there plans for a Mac OS X version? I'm still waiting for Google Chrome to arrive on the Mac. I unfortunately have to use both Firefox and Safari. Firefox on Mac doesn't reliably render http://surfline.com/ It seems to render it sometimes and then I lose the navigation menus for the site about 1/4 of the time.

    It is simply - although not always a simple - business decision: can you make more money advertising to free eyeballs or is your information unique and in enough demand that you can make more money off subscriptions?

    We have a surf report site that started off as a free advertising-based site. It was was never profitable despite being hugely popular. When the decision was made to turn it over to a subscription-based model, of course we lost a lot of eyeballs, but we went to instant and continuing profitability.

    Other surf-related sites have made the same realization.

    Holy fuck, that's clever!

    When the Internet came out and someone said "It's fun surfing the Internet!" did you say "I've been surfing for years"?

    Great, ass.
