Use Firefox, Save the Planet
,----[ Quote ]
| According to new research from SecTheory using Firefox in combination with
| popular addons like NoScript and Adblock Plus was enough to significantly
| reduce power consumption. Using third party and built-in monitoring tools,
| SecTheory took a look at the top 100 web sites according to Alexa and
| monitored their power consumption on the client end, as measured by amperage
| drawn by the CPU while visiting the site, using both Internet Explorer 7.0
| and Firefox 3.0.4 on an average Windows machine. Both the browsers and the
| system were fully patched, and Javascript was on, Java, Flash and Silverlight
| were installed.

Firefox Nightly Beats Chrome in Speed And Webkit Nightly Eats Them For
Breakfast.
,----[ Quote ]
| We already knew that Firefox nightly beats Chrome in speed, the gap is
| getting wider with the latest Firefox builds (3.2a1pre). While Google Chrome
| uses webkit as a layout engine it uses it’s own javascript engine called V8.
| On the other hand webkit developers are quietly tweaking away its
| SquirrelFish engine for javascript speed increase.

Crimes Microsoft Gets Away With - So Far
,----[ Quote ]
| News publications are cautious about making accusations, and because of that,
| some nasty acts of Microsoft are essentially being erased from the record.
|
| [...]
|
| Microsoft convinced Baystar Capital to put $50 Million dollars into SCO's
| lawsuit against IBM and other Open Source users, and promised to "backstop"
| Baystar's investment if SCO lost money, according to this sworn testimony.
| But I'm told that one person's testimony, even sworn testimony, isn't proof.
