One difference between Netflix and Gamefly

On: Gamefly Complains of Poor Treatment From USPS

Netflix has a much more manageable envelope. A Gamefly envelope is completely square while Netflix uses the standard rectangle. USPS charges more for square envelopes because they are harder to reliably ship. The harder to ship part is what makes them inefficient. The discs are likely to be broken because there's only so much care that can be given to something that looks almost exactly like fifty million other things

Awesome bar

On: Firefox 4 Will Push Edges of Browser Definition

I use the dropdown bar to go to frequently-typed web sites. I hate that it doesn't work the same way in Firefox 3. Yeah, yeah, I'll get used to it and can use the bookmarks toolbar, but it seems like I'm having to get used to new stuff way too frequently nowadays
