These have been submitted to the bug report already but damn it’s quite annoying that my browser keeps crashing every five minutes when I randomly open a new tab or close the last tab in the collection.
At least the recover launch will restore all my tabs, but it really sucks when you open a new tab to research for a topic and that causes you to lose your writing that is on another tab.
But the memory footprint, Javascript engine, and HTML5 support are all quite awesome.
Thanks Mozilla but please address these two items sooner than later.

I am pretty upset that microsoft would boldly state all of the following as ringing in true for IE8 when in all reality not a single one of their points holds water.
IE8 == secure? No.
More customizable? No. Show me where ie8 has add-ons to do even 5% of what the firefox extensions can do.
Here’s the whole chart. Anyone who knows why they should use alternate browsers should also be offended by this.
What makes me most upset about this is that the millions of users that do not know any better will assume the data on this chart to be truth just because it’s posted on MS’s site.
I’ll keep firefox thanks. But Bing is nice, good work guys! But this…..THIS is not productive use of your resources.

There is a good article over at Rockford Lhotka’s site on why silverlight is the way of the future when it comes to development. It also reminisces to a time when the web was still an infant and we had no clue what we had at our hands.
It’s worth a read. Here are some of the major topics:
-web technology is “dated” (10 years old)
-recent shift toward browser based computing and abstracting from the OS
-silverlight works cross platform/cross browser (with exception to Chrome)
-used a lot by the govt for apps that must meet mult. os regulations
-google is using gears and chrome to push toward their “browser based OS” world
-adobe is using flash/flex/air and betting that their decoupled runtime will dominate
-microsoft is using azure and silverlight to compete with google’s vision, while keeping WPF around incase adobe’s vision wins out ultimately.
Well played big blue, well played..

Since it is a new year, the site got a new design. I’m much happier with it this time around. I have also selected a new website host because my old one was pricey. Hopefully they will be as reliable as I have been led to believe.
I have not ever considered using a blog engine but I must say that so far I am liking this. Everything is organized and quite easy to navigate. Hopefully I will be able to put my CSS skills to work as I create a few custom templates of my own for the site.
Anyways, more posts to come soon!
