I am using paid browsers since 98, got blocked in all ways from mozilla.org because of telling facts to them back in that HUGE geek toy Mozilla days which now they finally understood since they shipped firefox, people look at me as I am insane because of paying for a browser etc...
Meaning, I can't be advocate. In fact I don't like Mozilla at all, still don't like where it is going.
I must say, you got some facts wrong. IE for Mac is result of Apple's "better friendship with MS" days, it was DEFAULT browser on Mac before Safari and Apple actually paid to Microsoft to code it. So, windows convert guys won't freak out seeing no "internet":) on Mac OS.
In fact, it must be the best ever IE MS coded. You will some features of 5.2.3 (latest) on IE 7 when it ships.
IE for MAC actually costed money to Apple.
Safari developers get paid by Apple, you pay to them while upgrading OS X to new version or buying a new Apple. Its NOT free too.
I must agree to something that Mozilla being free is misunderstanding. AOL paid (sunk?) amazing money to Mozilla. While JWZ hates them, they should listen to his comments which turned to be right. Who still hosts Mozilla.org?
Opera is a paid browser made by (still) little company which developers are actually paid by browser sales. Thats the actual end of discussion in fact:)
I got like 2 Opera licenses for Opera on windows. Since 6.0 , I remember I used 5.2 ignoring nag etc thing too.
After I converted myself to Mac G5 user, I thought it would be better to use Omniweb since its much more integrated to system and its frameworks so bought it.
But I still try to help Opera community and e.g. announce the possibility of using 1.4.x java in it.
I think anything being said about Opera, on SLASHDOT is a waste of time. Opera , as Omniweb has a very different customer base. You can't practically compare latest version to Firefox even.
Wanted to tell those to you so you won't waste your time defending Opera on slashdot:)
They try to make money with selling it (not having AOL/MSFT at their backs), not opensourcing it, show google ads if not paid? They are EVIL. You better surf Slashdot more:)
About Opera going down? Ahem, companies like Nokia must be alerted about it. Like, they bought it for millions of phones now:P
Also, who is one of the largest donators to Trolltech? Maker of QT?

I use G5 1600 mac exclusively and I don't have x86 anymore.
By far, I never missed PC games. Especially that "counter strike" thing. While on PC, I wasn't interested in too.
Companies like Aspyr, Feral ports games to Mac already and they do them by demand.
If I know mac community by 1 year, I didn't see anyone "dieing" for a pc exclusive game.
Had to say another thing. Macs are quality machines but expensive. Top of line Mac users (not pros) can spend a lot. Seems they can/already buy a console or gaming PC for pc exclusive games.
If you check and look at game list or if you want to see a TOP selling game company like you will understand me.
I am afraid to post anything critizing Google anymore. Even as AC. As AC I posted something critizing them, some lamer reported me to abuse dept. of Slashdot. Yes, HE TOOK THAT TIME.

Don't waste your time man...
There is Camino, coded by a real mac user and friendly guy, perhaps you must use and support it.
As I got -1 for asking why mozilla can't prebind on mac...
Omniweb licensed user...

Mozilla or Firefox has no hope...
iTunes has amazing video functionality already. Apple qt trailers offer full screen iTunes view and when you click it, you get full screen video.
I think apple works with some companies to make small lcd over glasses etc to watch full screen (big) videos now.
If apple not interested in video on ipod, why put video functionality to iTunes?
As you can guess the resolution of best cell phone, 3g is not needed.
Here in Istanbul, Turkey, Telsim and Turkcell offer live TV over gprs already via Real platform.
Turkcell as it owns Digiturk, the broadcaster of first league soccer offers live goals via MMS or gprs too.
I don't know if I miss something.
Sorry, I mean weekly and monthly maintanance.
Its a waste of time to force them. Saw lots of mac users doing it daily.
That 'Anacron' I referenced does it when machine is available. Especially good for laptops.
I would say couple of things.
i x_open_so urce/anacron.html
Forcing maintanance is not good. Get Anacron instead
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/un
Also I would reset PRAM after every system update.
oops, shame. lol
;)
but I bet lots of mac geeks watching comments to see if any problems happen
MS prefers BSD license over GNU, its no big secret. Even for end users like me.
Nothing like that happens on mac, besides mac re indexes all manpages once a week.
"MACHINE(1) BSD General Commands Manual MACHINE(1)
NAME
machine - print machine type
SYNOPSIS
machine
DESCRIPTION
The machine command displays the machine type.
"
Microsoft chooses BSD license on their (rare) opensource stuff, I guess he confused it...
its usual mac geek tactic :) They don't get update and wait for other users get it.
;)
If they don't see couple of guys saying "my mac won't boot anymore", they download.
Kinda mouse thing
I tried xplane on my mac and I am sure there are planes designed to fly in martian atmosphere on that game.
I didn't buy the game but I sure remember it.
It shows no sign of updates at gentoo.
:)
I don't understand how come my post is +5 informative either.
If any g5 owners out there, to experience the evil sound, just run "apple hardware test" from os x came with your machine
Don't forget Java ME is a huge suscess on mobile phones etc.
.net for mobile?
Why those guys will make it opensource so some guys at Redmond will copy/paste it to be
Yes, they actually do such crap. They did it before.
It says on url you referenced: "G5 fans run full speed".
A G5 machines 9 fans running full speed is easily louder than most vacuum cleaners.
So, G5 owners, I wouldn't suggest.
I use G5 1600 mac exclusively and I don't have x86 anymore.

Guess WHO got fanatics?
Istanbul, Turkey... 3 or 4 years.
:)
Without recording any profile to web, if you are Turkcell customer.
Its based on their cell data. Accessible from gprs (wap) too.
Because of such services they have got many technology awards.
I'd love to find an english page for more info but as service is not for roamers, they didn't do it
-1 Flamebait, see :)
End of issue, you shouldn't waste time.
Slashdot now has got lots of hits from Apple HQ sales department.
And they say "Oh great! Geeks say it will crash! Remember iPod guys, we are at right path"
Its the attitude, also how they killed my lovely Netscape with their geek fantasies.
I ignore slow day and porn stuff since I wasted enough time with this dead browser.
"I gues it would be kharma suicide if you had made ANY sense in the post."
;)
An application with good prebinding can launch 70% faster on OS X
I don't know about XP but it has similar scheme, aka stolen stuff.
Its more than flaming critics grammar if you want to support Mozilla/firefox.
Oh btw, thanks to Omniweb's excellent use of OS X spelling service.
Like I fucking care, check my .sig.
Oh you did already so flaming me.
Firefox is maintained by lifeless mozilla geeks, I don't use it.
Got $30 to pay for my favorite browser and another $30 if I am bored.
See, mozilla fans are like you. Thats why AOL and JWZ dumped you. Lifeless geeks!
