Two Things Firefox Never Seems To Fix (Which Chrome Gets Right)

Evening Rap: Google Domination Continues Apace, Open-Source Not Perfect, And Stupid Smart People.

Headlines that I thought were otherwise interesting today.

Amanda Congdon leaves ABC: Mat Ingram has the best explanation so far — her considerable “assets” were special as a vlogger, but on a mainstream outfit, they’re quite … flat. Now, Ms. Congdon claims she’s got something great lined up, although it will only start “next year”. [...]

Site Update: Yes, I am Firefox Snob. (Part I)

So there I was, feeling smug about my new ver 0.2 theme, and I get to hospital to bask in its glory when I had a deep realization of panic — it breaks when not viewed in FF1.5!
(gasp!)
And its not optimized for resolutions less than 1024×764!
(double gasp!)
MSIE practically strokes out when it tries to render!
