Well, they both have now been released and no, I'm not going to compare them or say which one is better than the other or that one sucks and the other not.
Seems everywhere you read something about one that the author is raving about the one and bitching about the other. Come on people, these are just browsers to surf the web. If you expect too much from them then... it's you f*ing problem. For those saying this one or that one is too insecure or is not patched quickly enough - wake up and stop surfing all those porn sites where you will get stuff!
Personally I like the built in spelling checker for Firefox - It really helps with my 'challenged' knowledge of the inglish language. IE really is better with tabs. I just hate the buttons being spread all over the interface but will probably get use to it. In case you are still wondering I'm using both but prefer Firefox as my main 'everyday' browser.
And then there is still Opera... still a (sad) song for another day.
There are some things in life that you simply cannot understand fully understand unless you have experienced them yourself. Take something like going through a divorce, loosing a loved one or being retrenched.
Once you have gone through it you never think about it in quite the same way again. The personal insult you have to go through and the rejection from those that just don't 'understand' even though they don't actually 'say' it openly. The only real hope is that one day all this *** will end when you die.
Yes, I'm having one of those days..no actually I'm having one of those lifetimes...
I don't know if anyone else noticed it lately but it seems that everything on sites like digg, slashdot or even codeproject soapbox ends up being spammed by americans fighting over politics. It is getting to the point where is really is not useful to try to read the comments of any stories anymore.
I know they are passionate about their country, leaders and being either republican or democrat but when it starts affecting everything that does not include politics then... This morning there was a story about Mars showing some recent climate changes and guess what - about the first comments was about how it must be because of the 'other' political side screwing up causing it! I mean, really!
Perhaps as a suggestion they must add some category of comment just for politics so the rest of us (rest of the world) can just plain ignore it.
Oh yes, the USP - should stand for United states of politics!
Then in other news, in my beloved South Africa if ever there is any story about a politician you can bet it is some scandal going on. Perhaps we should just relabel it scolitics - mix scandal and politics. Now can you see why I hate politics!
