His comments were in answer to a specific question posed by a member of the audience at the IET talk on Thursday, at the end of an unrelated talk. It's not like he's decided out of the blue to make pronouncements on "geek culture".
My biggest issue is having to pay GBP9 (equivalent to $17) to see any mainstream film at a cinema here in central London. $8 would be a bit of a bargain.
US prices are normally quoted without VAT, UK prices with VAT.
£52.70*1.175= £61.92.
£62 vs £70 - Not so lame, especially considering GBP's relative strength at the moment.
I pledged to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could have used grenades, to admit the existence of no level except total carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my 'Run' key, and to never, ever, have left a single Bob alive.
To prevent massive Slashdotting I'm not going to link directly to the beta from here, but if you go to Dave Hyatt's weblog and have a look at the comments for the most recent story, there's apparently a working link there.

Just to note this is not a User-Interface update, it is more focused to fixing bugs in and extending the Webcore rendering engine used at Safari's heart. This is a beta browser, so it should be feature complete, and there should only be bug-fixes between here and a 1.0 final release. Wait for 1.1 if you want tabs;-)
Answering your question, tabs allow multiple webpages to be viewed in a single window - a little like how Safari's preferences box works - click on an icon to get a different 'page' of options, but all in the same window.
Mozilla does do tabbed browsing, Command-T opens tabs instead of windows.
In my opinion (and we all have strong opinions- this is Slashdot after all!) I found tabs useful only because there was a 5 pause when switching between windows (not tabs) in Mozilla. But Safari's so damn fast I'm quite happy Command-~ -ing between 10 or so windows, without any noticeable pause - and that's on a 600MHz iBook.

Mark Pilgrim's excellent blog Dive Into Mark has a very comprehensive list of changes to the Webcore rendering engine. The permanent link is here. I'm impressed with how quickly he's managed to list these changes seeing as it only came out today!
One change I've noticed is Safari no longer freezes for a minute when loading certain webpages. Another nice change is that stylesheet change on Dave Hyatt's weblog actually works now. Dave is ironically one of the Safari developers, so it's just as well!!!
No, I think the poster meant it as a good thing.
You can spend thousands on an amazing PC that granted can run UT faster and load up quicker, but you'll still be on Windows XP, no matter how good the hardware is!

Oh well. Anyway, MacHack, for those that don't know, is a pretty kick-ass conference. Some of the mini-program 'hacks' they produce at the contest duing the show are pretty damn impressive. One that sticks in my mind is MacJive, which turns 'translates' all the text displayed in any program, into 'underground New York speak.' Well I was impressed...

In parts of Europe, irony gets you.
You can already watch 24 in 18 if you strip out all the adverts. With timestretch as well, you could be pushing for 24 in 12...

Norwich?
Arrrharrrrr!!!

The game Marathon went from 1, to 2, and then... Infinity. Beat that!
It's the greek alphabet:
802.11a(lpha) (ie. the *first* letter of the greek alphabet)
802.11b(eta)
802.11g(amma)
The next of course is 802.11d(elta) but having a "d" building on a "g" would never work for marketing, huh.
Europe's population is quite a bit greater than the United States, ergo there are likely to be a greater number of Mac users in Europe than in the US.
So why do people slam Apple? Surely your reason gives them less reason to, not more reason to...
Iceland is *not* part of the EU. And the beer there costs $10 a pint...
Who modified this informative?!? Sheesh, is it a computer doing Slashdot moderation? Mod parent Funny, maybe...
This sounds a bit like online vigilantism. I'd rather not have Joe Blog watching me step out of my house...

He is one egocentric guy, naming almost all those companies after himself...
I personally liked the name 'Industrial Light and Magic' (ILM) - it sounds pretty cool.

1.42GHz!
Still a long way to 3GHz but we're getting there, revision by revision.
Still happier with my silent 600MHz iBook than a roaring G4 monster though...
Yuck, don't know how that rogue character got there - I'll try again: Pic 1 and Pic 2.
I stronly suspect the main site is going to die, so here's a mirror on my website:
