No kidding. I'd like to see the FF dev's focus more on making a lightweight browser that doesn't take 200+MB of ram after using it for a couple days. I love the browser, but I don't need an awesome bar... give me a super fast browser with tabs and a search bar and a small memory footprint and I'll be a happy camper! Please don't give us another Vista in a browser:P
Let's compare apples to apples here... A system of the same quality that Apple builds ends up costing the same amount as a PC would. Apple's monitors are a bit overpriced, but then again, who else offers a monitor with a single cable for everything (usb, power, and dvi)? As far as the computers go, I have yet to see an offering from Apple that's really overpriced. Sure, the price point is higher, but you get what you pay for - quality parts and awesome aesthetics. I just bought a dual-core mini w/ superdrive for 749. I challenge anyone to find a system with all brand-name parts inside and a comparable form factor with the same feature set for less...
I'll give you this much: Apple very heavily overprices their memory... I buy my memory off the web for 1/3 the price that Apple charges. That being said, if you get a system with the bare minimum of memory from Apple and upgrade it yourself, you can't find a better price without sacrificing quality.

Kind of like switching to dvorak. I wanted to switch for the first 3 weeks... but after a couple months, I could type about 30% faster that before
Well, they got the exposure they wanted... if only their site could handle it :)
well, yes latency is high, but with the right packet size, overall throughput could be quite high! http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-257064.html

Heh, any poor computer that tries to read my brain will most likely fry itself rather than having to see my thoughts =P

Why not just switch to E17 - it's far superior to both kde and gnome; easily customizable, fast, and beautiful...
