Icann has switched on a system that allows full web addresses that contain no Latin characters. Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are the first countries to have so-called “country codes” written in Arabic scripts. The move is the first step to allow web addresses in many scripts including Chinese, Thai and Tamil.

Since I sold my XT at the end of last year, I was forced to get some bigger memory cards. My brother joked that his phone had more memory than my camera. Sad, I know. And I started shooting in RAW this year, so hard drive space has become an issue. I’ve moved most of

I almost titled this post: Barack, the baby killer?

Firefox is the major suck…. you have to configure everything and definitely not useable right when you install it. Firefox crashes consistantly with everything that I use for web software as a realtor. I HATE FIREFOX!!!!!!! No one has shown me why firefox is better….

There is no equal to FireFox, although Opera would be the closest. The majority of people use IE because it is bundled software that comes with their OS. There are thousands of features and addons for FF that IE does not have. But Microsoft has been hard at work trying to play catch up with FF the last couple of years. Also 99% of all viruses/worms are specifically aimed at IE users while FF users are unaffected.
The same way Linux is superior to Windows, but most people don’t possess the intelligence to know (or learn) how to use it.
FF is not that complicated, but if you don’t have the intelligence to know (or learn) how to use it, you are probably better off staying with Internet Exploder
I haven’t downloaded Chrome yet, but from what I see it is a very simple design (Google likes to keep things simple) which means without being loaded down with a lot of extras, it may have blazing speed.
I will check it out, but I love my FF addons too much to ever give them up!
