I had promised there was no point talking about them until they were above 500. Well, with yesterdays game, they are officially 41-40, or exactly one game above 500. Sure, it took half the teams only one game what it took the Tigers half a season, but its better now than never.

I have been reading about this the last few days. The gist is that with Google, people are now finding it hard to sit down with a book and read.
Taking a completely different read on the situation, I am completely ambivalent to whether this is good or bad for humanity. More interesting is to see our human mind at work. As soon as situations change, our very mind makes the best use it can out of it. It has literally changed its way of thinking to utilize new resources. Any normal animal, this would require evolution, at least a number of years to work through a changing circumstances. In humans, we make such a drastic change within a single lifetime. Absolutely amazing.
Now, I’ve never owned one of those motorola phones. I also have never owned one of those fangled iphones.
Still, from the outside looking it, it would look like the Iphone is quickly becoming the next RAZR.
The question is, if it becomes the next RAZR, is this good or bad for Apple? On the one hand, Apple has shown with the Ipod that they can have mainstream appeal while still maintaining their high brand name. On the other hand, RAZR has shown that phones that have become mainstream do not keep their users interested and dilute what use to be a very strong brand.
It will be interesting to see which is the case for the Iphone.
Just downloaded Firefox3 to try it out.
Good news:
Scribefire and FireFTP both still work. I use scribefire more than fireFTP but both as very useful extensions.
Tamper Data also works. Great for debugging.
Bad news:
Firebug doesn’t work. This is a horrendous killer for me. This extension is critical to my job.
In the 10 minutes I have played with it so far, it seems pretty good. I especially love the smaller shortcut bar, means it fits a lot more links than before.
