What browser seems faster? Safari or Firefox? I’ve been using firefox on my mac for so long now, I decided to do a little webbernet surfing w/ safari this morning. It seems much quicker. Pages are rendering faster, there’s no delays when switching between tabs, I’m lovin it. I don’t remember it always being like this. Perhaps it’s the updated Safarai (2.0) that came w/ Tiger?

Mozilla released firefox, Deer Park Alpha 1 with a slew of support for the latest & greatest.
What Web dev features in Deer Park Alpha 1 are you looking most forward to?
Some portions that I look forward to include, but are not limited to:
- The outline property – “Outlines may be non-rectangular” – how sweet is that?
- Multi-column layout – (of course, we all want this)
- (continued) Support of basic css3 selectors
- overflow-x and overflow-y properties
Unfortunately, as we continue to develop for IE on both the mac & pc, these techniques will continue to go unused. Who else wants a simple input[type="radio"] to work cross-browser? In preperation for the day these sweet joints can be utilized freely, let’s celebrate and declare classes that cleary overwrite our css3 selectors!!
Are you using the Deer Park release of Firefox yet? Have you read through the latest supported features? What’s YOUR future favorites?

Running into the bug mentioned on this css-discuss archive:
When the container div is set to the exact size of the background image AND the background position is other than 0 0 (px,cm,pt,em) then the background position is ALWAYS repeated, even if position-repeat has been set to no-repeat.
Here’s a related example of the bug (This one happens when the bg img is positioned to anything other than 0 0, and it’s container is smaller than the bg img).
This may be fixed in safari 2? We’re running 1.3 here.

The seemingly obvious pyramid scheme know as freeipods.com, (yes that’s my referrer link) got a shot in the arm yesterday when Wired devoted an entire article to the fact that it’s legitimate.
Complete with semi-convincing external URL’s you’re now thinking, yeah – I’ll give that a shot, There’s no way Wired.com got it wrong. Is there? But Wouldn’t we have seen MORE people on the internet receiving their free ipods? The small handful of “verifiable cases” opens the floodgates of second doubts. My opinion is that the offer is in fact real, it’s just harder than it sounds to complete the actual requirements. It’s too good not to try, we’ve all got that email no longer worth hiding from spammers anyway, it’s the one you use on friendster and classmates.com.
