Browsers

I am having one heck of a time with my upgraded version of Firefox. It runs like molasses with my site and it keeps crashing. Anybody having similar problems?

Via BoingBoing.

This is one very funny and smart viral marketing campaign. SEE PEOPLE HOW IT'S DONE? I like this so much that I can't decide which of the 13 reasons to switch is the best. Still, I think that #4 takes the prize for most 'truth in tongue'

4. Mozilla doesn't inflate prices and use the money to vaccinate children in Africa.
Uhh... wait a second. Maybe Microsoft's monopoly hasn't been all bad. Better donate to Oxfam. Seriously, you should.

while #5 is just plain funny.

5. If we knew web designers would hurl themselves off it, we wouldn't have put the Golden Gate bridge so close to San Francisco.

Every year, hundreds of web designers take their own lives rather than continue the hopeless struggle of making their websites IE compatible. Is that what you really want?? Dead web designers????? Cause that's what you're going to get!!!!!! See if I care!!!!!!!!!!

For all you little younglings, there was a time when putting browser sniffers on your web pages was a big web standards no-no with Zeldman's of the world frowning down on mere web design mortals who could not slap that bitch into non-tabled CSS validation.

Well, we are at war in more ways than one in this country. Open-source vs. Proprietary is turning into a huge war waged not only in technology but in politics and more so government. Look at the indictments and the impending call for impeachment of Cheney and then Bush.

Transparency, cooperation and open development are going to be huge in 2008. And people will ask the same transparency and democratic reliability with their software.

ps : You can tell I've been dealing with browser hell, can you?
ps2 : I am definitely joining in the Explorer Destroyer campaign.
