  Firefox 3 beta is ready

  It's ready for download, but they want developers and testers, so I guess I'm out.

  Firefox 3 Beta 1 now available for download

  Is anyone gonna test this? Is anyone already testing it?

  Care to share? How's it going?

  Gmail security

  I've had a thought I haven't been able to shake all weekend.

  How private is my Gmail account? I'm thinking that since they push ads related to keywords in the e-mails, it can't be 'for-my-eyes-only'?

  Or am I completely off track with this?

  (I use the secured version via Better Gmail that forces it to use https)

  Dell to scale back customisation

  Yeah, that's the first impression I got too.... All the people I know who bought Dells did so because it was easy and customisable.

  But they're only just scaling it back from the sounds of it, which does make some sense

  Why are there different embed codes for the same thing?

  I've been wondering about this for a while now.

  Why is it that most things I can embed provide (at least) two embed codes? Usually it's one for MySpace and one for blogs.

  I've look at them, and they are significantly different. Why?

  Safari Beats IE, Firefox in Browser Speed Trials

  Apple's contention that the beta of Safari 3 for Windows loads pages up to twice as fast as its rivals, however, is a bit of a stretch, Czeiszperger said. In June, when Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled Safari for Windows at the Worldwide Developers Conference, he claimed Safari loaded pages twice as fast as IE 7, 1.6 times faster than Firefox. "What we've got here is...the fastest browser on Windows," said Jobs at the time.

  WPI's measurements backed up Jobs' claim that Safari was 1.6 times faster than Firefox -- its numbers showed it to be 1.7 times faster -- but not the boast about Safari's thumping of IE. There, WPI's ratio for Safari was only 1.4 times faster -- not twice as fast, as Jobs claimed. The ratios for the page loads from the remote servers and the canned editions on the network were identical, said Czeiszperger in an interview Wednesday. "That was a good validation that the live measurements were accurate," he said.

  There are some good tips in it, like getting 2 monitors, invest in chairs (I still haven't found the right one) etc.

  But one comment has created a storm it seems.
