This is PAINFUL to watch…

I am excited to see what the LHC can show us:
Everything about the collider sounds, well, large — from the 14 trillion electron volts of energy with which it will smash together protons, its cast of thousands and the $8 billion it cost to build, to the 128 tons of liquid helium needed to cool the superconducting magnets that keep the particles whizzing around their track and the three million DVDs worth of data it will spew forth every year.
A little over two years ago I began using the Camino web browser on my Mac instead of Firefox and Safari. I really liked how it had the feel of Firefox, with the Mac OS X UI. Lately though, Camino hasn’t been keeping up.
I’ve been watching the development of Firefox 3, and have been looking forward to it being released. I wasn’t sure if I would switch back completely, but I just watched a screencast that gave an overview of the new features in Firefox 3, and well I think I’m going back.
Also, Firefox 3 for the Mac is going to look and feel like all the other apps on a Mac. Just one more reason to switch back. Maybe Firefox will finally reach their goal of 20% browser market share.
Before I say anything, I realize that these are small numbers, but this month Mac and Linux each had record high market share numbers, while Windows reached a new low. The iPhone’s market share also hit a new peak.
Over the last year the Mac has gained almost 2% market share, while Windows has dropped a little more than 2%. I’d like to see Mac get to 10% and Linux to 1%, and with their current growth rates that might only be a year or two away.
Dude! Sweet!
