I’d like to think that the blogs (see here for more info) had more than a little bit to do with this development. As of next week, Staples will be pulling all advertising from Sinclair Broadcasting Group.

WOW — talk about a great tweak… ForeverGeek live up to their name with these easy instructions for speeding up the Firefox browser, but only (as explained in the comments) if you have a fast computer and a broadband connection. Thanks to David Terrell for the link. [Paul Boutin]

Ross wrote the other day: If you are reading this, you are probably an early adopter. So when the holidays come around you spend time with your family doing In-law IT. Yes, and yes. None of my immediate family owns a Mac (Ross’s suggestion to make life easier for us tech supporters was to get…

After being a big fan of Sharpreader (for reasons noted here), I’ve gone in search of a new aggregator to read my RSS feeds.

For anyone who cares, some stats on my readership… (Note: these results are far from scientific, and are just for my site.) Those who read tins in a web browser: IE 6.x — 66% Firefox 1.x — 21% Safari 1.x — 4% IE 5.x — 4% Mozilla 1.x — 2% Netscape 7.x — 2% Opera…

There are just no words to describe the enormity of the disaster that continues to unfold in Asia. With the death toll likely topping 100,000 before week’s end, and the Red Cross predicting that disease and famine could double that number before long, this is a crisis the likes of which I’ve never seen. So…
