It's a sad day for those who wish to live in a world free of frankenfoods. It wouldn't be so bad if GMO could live happily ever after all by itself, but we all know that it's going to cross and contaminate everything else. We should have a right to choose whether or not we want GMO but it's existence seems to threaten normal (organic) food. If a coal fired power plant is spewing sulfur into your backyard and you shut down their plant or force them to install scrubbers is it a sad day for power generation freedom??
It seems the multithreading layer in Firefox bogs down really easily, as there are often delays when loading multiple pages in the background. Also the speed at which you can open a new tab is a lot slower.
I wonder if there are certain performance metrics which FF team is using to test the app. Eg. "Time to Open 100 new Tabs must be 2s"
Still any improvement is a welcome addition as I am totally reliant on Firefox for its excellent developer tools.
Maybe this individual is experiencing pain because of lack of exercise in certain areas of the body? I can speak from personal experience here that not getting adequate exercise can lead to RSI-related issues.
A couple things that have helped me:
0. Eliminate the source of aggravation. For me it was using a computer at the wrong height, keyboard wrong height, reaching too far for the mouse, etc.
1. Workrave, or Anti-RSI for the Mac. Software like this reminds me you to take breaks on a regular schedule in case you get so involved in your work you forget about the world around you. Workrave even shows exercises on screen so you can follow along. Brings us to next point.
2. Exercise. Do some regular stretches for the areas that are bothering you. Not sure what to do? Look online for exercises for RSI.
At one point in my IT career I had RSI so bad I missed about a week of work. At that point I tried doing physiotherapy but I didn't really find the exercises or treatments I was offered did much for me.
Then I went to a yoga class and had almost immediate relief. I started going once a week to classes and overall my back pain and wrist pains were reduced signficantly.
Another thing that has helped alot specifically in the area of the wrists is indoor rock climbing. It really strengthens upper body, shoulders, forearms, fingers, etc.
of course we'll see it continue, even as an avid python user I understand that Ruby on Rails has managed to set forth a bunch of essential memes for scripting language development, ones that many scripting language communities are now trying to emulate.

hopefully with Apple's hiring of former VAIO Engineers http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000537052498/ this might be a future feature we'll see in the Macs?
