Firefox users listen up: The new beta is out and its amazing. For all 26% of internet users, there is finally an answer for all those google chrome users. The new beta is CRAZY fast. It makes my old 2.0 Ghz macbook fast again. The new Jagermonkey JIT compiler is MAD affective. Loads java in no time, and every other internet function gets a power boost as well. Better HTML 5, CSS, and java advancements allow you to waste time on the internet better and faster than ever, and firefox 4 brings the death of plugins in sight. Awesome HTML 5 and hardware acceleration makes firefox a gaming monster and now has the ability to satisfy your video and graphical needs. BOOM firefox is usable again.
The only problem is that a lot of extensions don't work. Out of my 47 extensions, only 14 were supported. But firefox does handle some of the missing links:
New tab management with tab groups
Moves tabs to the top of the window right above the URL bar allowing for more screen space and valuable browsing real estate
Full screen browsing make the web fill your entire world and engulf you in internet awesomeness
Super improved gaming and flash performance
What even cooler is that if you are a test pilot extention user, then you get awesome integration. There's a convenient feedback button that will give you the option to say "Firefox made me happy because.." and "Firefox mad me sad because...". You are the teleported to another tab with either a smiley face or a sad face. you can tell mozilla what their doing right or wrong. You can even give them the URL of a website that really shows what their doing right or wrong
Really cool. Go download it now! like now. do it dude.

Ipad fad
Who else freaking loves the ipad? um you all do because the ipad has sold over 7 million ipads since its release this last January. Amazingly, this "toy" has a faster adoption rate the when DVD players came out. Awesome? Yes. People go out and complain about this crap that its just an ipod touch with a bigger screen. Uh yeah, and its hella awesome. Bigger screens kick ass! would you perfer a 7 inch tv or a 40 inch tv. Think of it like that. Little tiny ipod touches are great for pulling out of your pocket for a second and checking your email, or sending a quick text or burning time playing doodle jump. Ipads are legit computers. No its not your full computer. but you can finally browser the internet the way you've always wanted to. Want to get that image? Just go and touch it, you know you want to. Pretty sick. And now you paint freaking amazing art and crap, make keynotes and other great business and creative junk.
I think the most amazing thing is that all of its critics probably own an ipad. People are always hating on the ipad, but they all know they love it.
Already rumors are showing up about an Ipad 2. Now apple listen here: This is what people want
Front facing camera for awesome face time
3G facetime capabilitys (AT&T's fault)
Verizon version of 3G ipad.
Support for a whole bunch of service providers (IE: Verizon, T-mobile, Sprint)
Flash capabilities (Get Skyfire when an ipad version comes out. Its hella awesome. no seriously it kicks so much ass)
USB ports (not going to happen)
SD card slots (also not going to happen)
thinner and lighter design.
Better battery life
Retina display? you know its coming.
I think less than half of these things are going to come to the new ipad, but im very optimistic about the retina display and facetime cameras. I just wish the new ipad would come out before christmas so I could get one? Please????

Android Phenomenon
Maybe its just me, but does anyone feel like Android is amazing? I don't mean its amazing as in its awesome, but more amazing how popular a crappy OS can be! Google manages to slap this stuff together with glue sticks and manage to outsell the iphone a couple times!
Mind you its only a couple of times but it amazes me how shit can become popular. I think its because if enough people make enough hype, popularity catches on. Its just enough people buzzing about droids and such to get people thinking that its just the next best thing!
maybe that explains Ke$shas popularity for about a month? Maybe it is just me, but this whole Droid Does thing is starting to piss me off because I've used a droid, and they suck ass. No really. Get out your iphone (If you own a smart phone, chances are you own an iphone http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/apple-iphone-smartphone-market-share-surges-rim-slips/34181) and go to a Verizon store or to a friend that owns a droid. Ok now just try swiping through a couple app pages and you'll see.
Whose phone has the most responsive touch screen? yours does silly.
Now go to your browser (assuming you have 3G in AT&T's crappy network.) and just go to the apple website. Ok got it? now scroll a little. Oh cool yours works fine, but your friends droid lags a little. Ok now zoom in on, lets say John's face (assuming you looking at the website while it still is promoting the release of the Beatles albums) and WOAH! yours actually works with TWO fingers!!! cool.
Now you can continue playing angry birds and fruit ninja on your iphone and leave.
I don't know. Their slow, unresponsive bricks made of google's spare crap. You decide who has the better phone for yourself. Just please. Try both. no seriously people are really stupid saying that they only need to try one.
And no more open source crap. If google really believed in open source, it wouldnt prevent people for jailbreaking their devices, and letting people keep apps that have been "pulled" from their app store (http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/google-flexes-biceps-flicks-android-remote-kill-switch-for-the/)
Ok sure it was a crappy app, but just the fact they have a kill switch is not open source. their saying that because they know they'll believe whatever they tell you.
