You don't have to work a regularly scheduled job. I have an army of gnome-makers that rake it in. They just sit around watching TV all day, and make gnomes when they feel like it. Ah, the life...
Works great for me. The only issue that I've run into with its rendering is that it fails to center 's when told to. Other than that, well rendered browsing everywhere I go. Yet another instance of YMMV, I suppose.
Purchasing Overture may result in greater revenue. Removing ads will result in a loss of revenue. I'm confused - what exactly do you not understand? The company is public and is therefore supposed to generate revenue - not give up revenue and give away stuff for free.
Mac users (and I'm one of them - recent convert, thank you for asking) use Safari because it's there.
Have you used Safari? If you have, you should know that we use Safari not because it's there, but rather because it's really, really good. Not perfect, sure - but it has a real future, and it's getting better all the time.
First, I'd note that while 'x' is right next to 'c', where else would that 's' have come from had it been a simple typo? Second, I would like to propose the phrase "dvordork" instead of "dvorak dork". Say it a few times. It really just kinda flows right off the tongue.
I program Rabbits for a living, myself. They come with a Dynamic C suite. It's terrible. For the most part, it's just plain C - but there are differences. They're cool little devices themselves, though.
Oh yeah.. another note. I've talked to a few other Mac users, who haven't noticed the change - but it's one of the first things I saw when I booted up. The font used for the system menus and everything seems subtley changed. It's a tiny, tiny change - but I like it. It just looks a little cleaner. Maybe I'm just completely insane, and it's all in my head. I dunno..
Mail.app seems fast enough for me. What operations were so slow for you?
In Mail.app (in Panther), if you click on a message in the mailbox, it then appears in the preview pane below. If you then hit pgup/pgdown/end/home, it scrolls the message in the preview pane. Is this the behavior you expect, or are you expecting something different?
The preview that I have seems to still have borky view preferences saving in the Finder. I'm sure it'll get cleared up by the time Panther goes gold. User switching seems cool. I'm the only user of my iBook, so I don't have much experience with it. Oh yeah - something I forgot about. The new cmd-tab interface is freaking elite. It looks super-slick, and it's very fast.
My iBook is 600MHz, 386MB, Combo Drive, 8MB Rage (I cry myself to sleep every night out of pity for myself, having bought the last iBook model w/ this vid chipset),...
I haven't really stress tested Panther yet. The general feeling of it, though, is just a bit more responsive.
I am posting this from a late 2001 iBook running Panther. It's the last iBook with the crappy 8mb Rage video (so no Quartz Extreme). I like Panther. I like it a lot. Some nuggets:
* Expose rocks. It's awesome. I couldn't imagine working without it again. * Mail.app has been made a little bit prettier, and a little bit more functional. * Terminal.app has become usable as my primary terminal. You can now configure it to send Page-Down and Page-Up to the session instead of to Terminal.app's scrollbars. * I don't like the milky look. I want the pinstripes back. * The new finder is 2048X better. It's great. * I really wish they would either go with all brushed metal or all not - at least for the instances that go against the user interface guidelines. Either way, give me back the pinstripes. * The activity monitor is cool. You can change the colors on those graphs we saw - why they default it with those colors that look like ass, I don't know. * iTunes rocks. I don't know that much has changed, but that just had to be thrown out there. * Safari 1.0 (also available for Jaguar, I know) is the best browser I've ever used. They've made some great speed improvements. * The OS in general just feels a little bit snappier. With my aging iBook, any speed improvements get huge ++'s from me.
Piro (of megatokyo) has been doing MT full-time for a while now. Recently, they have become so busy that Seraphim, his fiance, has quit her job and is helping Piro do MT full-time as well. I'd say it's doing quite well for the two of them:).

Quoth the raven, "I dunno."

Just because it's cool doesn't mean it doesn't suck.
Nothing spells trouble like people faking their high scores at F-Zero.

Hmm.. not as far as I can tell. Like I said, it's just a cmd-tab task switching utility.
Just put a big "FRAGILE" sticker on the box! Yeah, that'll do it!
See for yourself! It's not different than any other alt-tabbing - it just looks nice and slick :)

Oh yeah.. As far as Exposé goes, it's the tiniest bit sluggish - but it's totally usable. You'll love it.
Oh.. another note. Organizing by thread in Mail.app is k-rad. I've missed that since I stopped using Mutt for Mail.app.

Followed by someone metamodding that metamod as "Fair".
I SAID NO CAMELS.

Yeah, I read it three times looking for the wise-crack. Go figure.
