On Mac, I’ve been using only FireFox for a while now. But lately I’ve seen some things that have made me nervous. More than once I’ve seen FireFox peg the CPU for no apparent reason. Recently I had bad experiences with the latest latest release of the del.icio.us add-in. So I decided to scan for the...

I am a die-hard Tivo user. Yesterday I stumbled across mention that TivoTogo now worked on Macs, so the promise of watching Tivo’d content on my iPod led me to waste a couple of hours trying to get it to work.

Really interesting article which asks whether a recent incident on an Americann Airlines flight in fact was a terrorist dry run: > “[…snip] This is not meant to scare, but it probably will. Consider yourself informed and warned that the threat is real. This crew reported that they were not prepared that something of this nature could be happening to them. […snip]” (from “American Airlines Flight 62: A terrorist probe?”)
I was glad to see that the FireFox add-in for del.icio.us was revised to combine the features of the ‘old one’ with the features of the ‘new one’. That’s good. Unfortunately it looks to me like the new and improved plug-in is still a bit buggy, sending FireFox into a tailspin – window activation weirdnesses, apparent loops hogging the CPU. I look forward to the next rev, because the concept is right on.

If you are a blogger then you probably keep an eye out on the ‘circulation’ of your blog.
