In case people complaining about Firefox's speed haven't done these, here's a link to step-by-step instructions on how to speed up Firefox now (and I've boosted mine by up to 35%): http://www.speedupfirefox.com/

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't have any problems with 10.5.5--it runs perfectly in fact, and when I tried installing 10.5.6, I got into a whole mess of trouble. Ain't upgrading.

Is it compatible with a Mac? My main beef with Nokia is their lack of Mac support--like I can't transfer my contacts, calendar, etc. between a Nokia phone and my Mac w/o 3rd party support. Their desktop software is always PC-only.

PC: Hi. I'm a PC.

Mac: And I'm a Mac.

PC: I have $999 and I want to buy a 17-inch screen Laptop.

Mac: If that's all you want, then go buy a PC.

PC: But I also want stability, speed, an intuitive interface, better quality, and I can't afford to change computers every 3 years.

Mac: Are you set on the 17-inch screen?

PC: If I can get all those other features, no.

Mac: Then get a Macbook white--though the screen is slightly smaller, the superior graphics and all those other features will give you a better user experience for many years to come.

PC: Okay, I think I'll go get a Mac.

Pre can't even run the old Palm apps in emulator mode--now that's one 'feature' that they should've done.

As for complaining about the length of time it took for Apple to come up with 3.0, puleeeaze. As a developer, just the copy and paste feature alone is incredibly complicated to program--one that is well-designed and executed. I'm surprised they got it out.

I want MessageEase's virtual keyboard which allows almost 100% accuracy in typing text on a virtual keyboard: http://exideas.com/ME/DeviceSimulators/iPhone.html

how many people will go to a store just to buy crap? 'cuz that's what MS produces.

I checked the 1984 bell labs patent and pinch to shrink was not covered/mentioned. Apple does patent the gestures though so Palm is in trouble.

Did Apple pattent the touch patterns: pinch to shrink an image/document, fingers pushing outward to expand--cuz the Palm Pre demo uses these exact same patterns. From the demo of android, they don't use any of these.

It takes innovation to do what Apple did--nobody ever thought of it before they implemented it in the iPhone so I think it is defensable/patentable.

Palm just needs to use other gestures.

Biggest problem w/ Plasma is the power consumption: 6x the electricity of a regular crt tv. If you can afford that drastic increase in your electric bill and the guilt of adding to global warming, then...
