With Firefox 2, Mozilla touts security and speed | CNET News.com

FirefoXXXy 2.0 has been released, and so far it’s gr8! All my feeds and quick links (e.g. the WordPress bookmarklets that I couldn’t live without) still works. The UI is a little sleeker, and it seems more responsive. I’ve also installed my first plug-ins – the new spelling dictionaries – and yes, there’s one in Danish, can’t wait to let it loose on my Wiki projects, if it works, this is really, really good news.

Nothing runs like a Fox (hey wasn’t that the motto of a Microsoft product sometime?)

On a curious note, the Firefox team received a cake from the Microsoft IE team congratulating them on shipping. I REALLY REALLY like the Microsoft IE team!

“The key focus in Firefox 2 is making sure that what we are focusing on is tightness and efficiency–with the ability of turning that browser into exactly what one needs, focusing on security, stability and speed,” said Mike Beltzner, who Mozilla describes as its “phenomenologist.”

Sprogkirkegård… hm, hvad skal man mene om det?

Sprogkirkegården er oprettet fordi vi ikke kan vente på at sprognævnet får etableret deres egen portal. Hvor svært kan det være…

Clinton Forbes: will answer your questions: 10 Pros & Cons of switching from Windows to Mac OS X

This is a PRETTY good list of the pros and cons of switching from Windows to Mac OS X.

Quote from Clinton Forbes weblog:

Overall I couldn’t be happier with my Mac Mini purchase. I’m not misty-eyed enough to think that it is completely angelic and perfect, but it is a major step above using Windows XP. And unless you are a rabid freedom-fighter it is a step above any Linux distribution out there. KDE and GNOME are still a long way away from achieving the polish that Apple has delivered with Mac OS X. And the next release, with lots of nice improvements, is only a couple of months away…

I totally agree…Get a Mac mini cheapest model to get your feet wet…It’s the PERFECT entertainment centre.

I have also invested in a Elgato eyeTV, and I’m ditching my old CRT in favour of a projector, FrontRow is aboslutely WONDERFUL, I usually stream music from my PowerBook, I used to use an AirPort Express to do that, but using FrontRow is SO much better, I love the remote. And now I’m investing in a mStation Tower, so my NAD amplifier and my speakers are being relegated to the back room.

So that I can watch, and record analog and Digitral Terestial TV, especially DR2.

Mac mini the cheapest COOL computer on the market!

Jean Michel Billaut: Connaissez-vous Haladjian ?

Non je ne connais pas Haladijan, but I’d like to. I’ll est le papa de Nabaztag, le Lapin Communicant.

Nabaztag is Minitel 2.0, and we’re talking Web 2.0 how 90ies – we’re left in the dust!

Paris is getting “Ozoné” – love that term, citywide open Wi-Fi.

When you use “Des Lapins Communicant” you don’t really need security! Brilliant.

This comment gives me the chills:

“le début de l’internet a été une aimable kermesse… Maintenant les choses sérieuses commencent” – (translation: “the beginning of the Internet has been a friendly festival…Now the serious stuff begins”.

Farvel til den “onde fugl” – Velkommen til Radio K’n’L “den gode fugl”

4 Comments on Farvel til den “onde fugl” – Velkommen til Radio K’n’L “den gode fugl”

Velkommen til Radio K’n’L

Som en hyldest til en af de få interessante Danske Podcasts, der desværre er afgået ved døden, The Evil Bird Show aka. Böse Vogel, der nu er så meget nede at man skal ty til Googles cache, så offentliggør jeg hermed en mystisk Podcast som jeg fandt på gulvet.

Det tog ca. 30 minutter at lave det hele. iLife (GarageBand og iWeb) gør det NEMT du gør det LÆKKERT!

Tippet hermed givet videre til dem der kæmper med teknikken…SKIFT!

Kom nu, jeg savner den onde fugl, og netop som I skulle til at blive berømte! Jeg ved ikke hvor mange gange jeg desperat har refreshet Jeres side, hvor er den næste episode – snif?

Den onde fugl blev 1,5 år, æret være dens minde.

På billedet ses den normalt MEGET BLIDE og SØDE fugl L. Men den søde fugl kan blive MEGET MEGET OND, i sin fritid er den nemlig Danmarks mester i Judo, og jeg sender den forbi og hakker i Jer med dens skarpe næb hvis i ikke starter op igen!

ps. Jeg tilbyder hermed min assistance, lad os i det mindste få evilbird.dk domænet åbnet igen så vi kan få de fantatiske 11 episoder det blev til online igen. Jeg kan se at domænet udløb i Juli, og derfor er blevet deaktiveret, hosten er vel også lukket?
