  • Mozilla got serious about improving it
  • The other Web browser developers have caught up and surpassed Firefox.

  • last few versions of Firefox haven’t been that good
  • I’ve found one Web site, my bank as it happens, that works fine with Firefox, but it doesn’t recognize Firefox 6 as being a valid Web browser.
  • This version of Firefox also does much better than previous versions at managing memory
  • I know that Firefox 7 will have better memory management. I also know that Firefox 7 is due out on September 27th
  • Firefox 6, the newest version, is better than Firefox 5, but it’s not that great either.
  • Just because Mozilla developers are paid to keep up with constant change doesn’t mean that individual developers or small independent software vendors (ISV)s can keep up.
  • I ran not only Firefox, but Chrome 13 and Internet Explorer (IE) 9 to see how Firefox 6 compared to its chief rivals
  • Firefox, once more, didn’t do well on Web standards.
  • Firefox really fell behind with 4,588 points. On this benchmark, IE surged ahead with a score of 8,343 to Chrome 13’s 8,010.
  • The other browsers are better
  • I wish I coud still recommend Firefox, but I can’t.

  • Steve Jobs announced to the world last week that “unfortunately, that day has come” for him to step down as chief executive officer of Apple,
  • impeccable.
  • 14 years since Jobs regained control of his company in the summer of 1997 after a long, bitter exile
  • Apple shares have increased a stunning 110-fold
  • surpassed rival Microsoft a year ago, Apple’s $350 billion in market capitalization places it behind only ExxonMobil

  • Apple has made money so quickly and so prodigiously that it holds an outrageous $76 billion in cash and investments
  • graduate students at the University of Wisconsin, Madison: Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian immigrant
  • In his second time around at Apple, Jobs ultimately achieved what had eluded him in his early years there, from 1976 to 1985
  • visionary and a brilliant promoter but wasn’t respected as a businessman
  • Now Jobs, 56, retires,
  • awesome sum thought to be parked in an obscure subsidiary,
  • Jobs didn’t just create products that instilled lust in consumers and enriched his company.

    Steve Jobs changed the world, and his company is one of the best in the world. He retired at the age of 56, and now he is chairman of Apple, not the executive manager.
