Dude, Firefox is Cool Again: Thanks, Mozilla

Date July 18, 2008

You may have seen my post last week about how Firefox 3 was making my MBP run about 10 to 15 degrees hotter than with Safari.  Well, on Wednesday, Mozilla released its Firefox 3.0.1 update, and I just noticed that my MBP is running somewhat cooler than before the update.  It’s only a couple of [...]

Mobile Me, Probably Not for Me

Date July 8, 2008

Mobile Me launches tomorrow, apparently, but I’m still pretty sure I won’t be signing up for it. That’s not to say it’s not a great service, with some great improvements over .Mac. I just don’t have much need for it, especially for $99/year (or $89 for one year if you buy from Amazon.com)
