Unlike everything else gecko ever released, this little Flock-er runs like mad on OS X. Smoooth, on both G4 machines - and fast. I have long believed that Firefox is a wonder only if you have been chained to WIndows / IE. Oh, I know, I know, you will beg to differ, but that's because you do not run a tight Tiger ship.
I am a sixty-year old woman, I own a black iPod Video, it is loaded with cartoons for my grandkids and thirty years of rock for me ... and... (hmm, maybe this isn't the best place to post this)... I have neither seen nor held anything so Lickable in my life.
"There are only a couple of minor bugs to work through, such as Flash and Java support."
Oh, right. Really minor.
And when he's done with that, could someone who's used a Mac please do something about the most hideous set of themes extant. Pink kitties? Wood-grain? Patriotic Netscape?
I'm serious. What planet do these people live on? . . . Maybe we Mac users are some kind of snobby elite. Maybe we just have taste. Maybe Mozilla-Gnomey types need professional help. Whatever it is, it's a damn shame, particularly now.

Ooooh, webvan. I thought I'd gotten over it. I'd rather have webvan.com back than love. God it was wonderful. Ordering online, any time of night or day. Courteous young hunks in shorts delivering the finest yuppie groceries to my kitchen, and putting most of them away. Fresh flowers. Little potted trees at Christmas. At my boyfriend's dot.com in San Francisco, webvan brought Friday afternoon beer and organic snacks. I've had two marriages that didn't work remotely as well. (Sob.)
"Humanity is going to disperse as a social construct because Amazon wants you to buy some additional shit?"
Well, yes, probably, though not for the reason cited. Taken metaphorically--I know, I know, WTF am I doing on the dot (the girl can't help it) --the various forces at work in consumerist society which do indeed threaten the social construct are exemplified in every move Amazon makes.
For one, when was the last time you just went on Amazon, got your item and got out? If that page gets any stickier, no shopper will have time left for the social construct, what with Purchase Circles, Items Others Bought, Items You Coulda Bought If You Were As Cool As Your Peer Group, You Clod You . . .
The Enterprise didn't run on thick clients with computers everywhere, it had a giant multiprocessing core and every lesser powered computational device around the ship was essentially an interface and some sensors and tools.
Are you sitting down? I have something to tell you. Try not to get upset, now: It was a movie.
People, people. Are you not getting it because you don't want to, or because you fear (as geeks) it may be you?
Aspergers often comes across as arrogance. Read up. It's hardly that. Offensive, yes, but the reasons are not to be imagined but understood. It's Gates, Ballmer, and I have no doubt (as daughter and ex-wife of men with Aspergers) the entire Redmond culture, which only makes sense.
It would be nice if science were about facts. It would also be nice if emotional reactions were known as such, to self and others. That way, why, it might be sane out there! How cool would that be.
Not happening here, on a 15" GB and 17" 1.33, Entourage running on both. So I encourage you to keep "cleaning it up." Maybe my regular use of Applejack is key? Don't really know. (Can't speak to rest of Office suite, I'm finishing my book on Pages.)
Slashdot Mirror
The replies that follow this post pretty much sort out the aspies from the just plain geeks.
Just saying.
And exactly what does a woman have to do, in your way of thinking, to "have it coming"?
In what way would you, yourself, "have it coming"?
Hmm?
Tags are ... "hip", tags are techorati and Web 2.0 and hey you just .... tag!
... have you ever seen Google do anything hip? Even inadvertently? (Evidence must be provided.)
Whereas labels are something my grandmother used to sew on the back of clothes, or paste on canning jars.
Okay
I win.
... as Pogue reported, is that one of the color choices is ... I really don't know how to say this ... alright, then: BROWN.
(You may recall that PC wore a brown suit in at least one of the Mac-PC ads. Which were full of brilliant little touches.)
What sort of person sets out to buy a BROWN iPod-sort of thing. A rhetorical question, thanks anyway.
Ah, but you write a hell of a headline, sir. I'd blog it--but who the hell else would get the joke.
Ha Ha, Neener-Neener, Tough Nuts, Eat Your Heart Out.
... Yes, we do.
Er, I mean
Way to write. It would be a whole lot more of an affront if we didn't have Macs.
It would be markedly more uncool than closing the kernel. Waaay more.

You, sir, have never owned nor worked on a Powerbook.

Slashdot has a nice story today redefining the word "piece."

Hey, I'm with ya, bro. They already in foment over on Ars. What we gotta do is Stand Together.

Wait. You said, "dress all trendy" and "HP" in the same sentence.
Wow! This is the best thread I've seen in ages for collecting geeky insults!

But that's the best part! Wait. Okay, you're saying there's some other reason to read

. . .could you imagine telling your mother to run out, buy a beige box, download some boot hack, install it, then install OS X on top of that?"

And I own two G4 Powerbooks, 15 and 17", two partioned volumes each, running Tiger, max RAM, broadband, wifi / Airport Express, Nokia Bluetooth . .
I'm also a grandmother, and you all need to get: (who am I talkin' to: dateless geeks) women are not what you think.
