Firefox 3.5 released!
Firefox 3.5 is fast!
I haven’t done any qualitative comparisons but since the upgrade this morning all the sites are loading noticeably faster.

Gizmodo sort of predicts the end of desktop computers
A Form Factor on Life Support
But no matter how irrational a choice the desktop tower is for the regular consumer, sales won’t hit zero anytime soon.

Find My iPhone works
What’s a better on a boring Tuesday at work than a bunch of dorks chasing down their lost iPhone through the streets of Chicago?
Either way, it hilariously ended with this message.
And that, my friends, is why the MobileMe service is worth the damn money. It’s been around for just over seven years and it FINALLY got a killer feature.
Too bad the service is still a rip-off. $99 USD a year? Give me a break!
