So, here's the dill. We don't have a lot of time. I have to be at work in 30 minutes.
Remind me to talk about 105 later.
I was doing some research on current web browser news, and I found this shit, which reveals IE 8's resource consumption to be greater than that of XP. You read that right--all of XP. NO bullshit. It says a lot about where we are going with our web browsing experiences.
A while back, The Onion reported on Google's intentions for a Navy presence.
It turns out they were right (and by right, I mean joking).

Google Chrome
Google released its new Chrome browser a few days ago. When I went to download it, I got a message saying the Linux version had yet to be released, and they would get back to me upon it's release if I left my email address. I knew they already have my email address on speed dial, but I left it just the same. So I come home from school (IUPUI, btw) today and decide to download this new browser on my parents' computer. It didn't take long for my dick to get hard. We're talking rill hard. And I don't think I'm the only one.
It's unclear how this is affecting other browsers at this point, but it can't be good new (and I mean new) for IE.
A few of my favorite Chrome features:
-Goddamn Google Chrome task manager (Yes, it has it's very own goddamn task manager. (Shift+Esc)
-Incognito browsing
-Right-click, "Inspect element"--goddamn awesome
-I've only been using it about five minutes, so I don't know a whole lot about it.
The only thing I dislike so far is the lack of spell check, but I'm sure it will be implemented, if it hasn't already. If it already has, I don't know where to look for it. We are still in beta with this, after all. And we will probably be that way for a few years (knowing Google).

Congradulationships
I lost about 30 pounds and grew ten years younger in the past few days, and I don't like it.
I (Someone else) recently broke my computer and have been using my (Nintendo) Wii for most of my internet needs. But there have been people asking for my help in computer type shit, allowing me to see how far behind some people are behind on the computer timeline.
The first problem I found is the number of people using AT&T Yahoo! based web programs because that is what comes with they internet service. This is a terrible idea. Using the AT&T Yahoo! browser again has made me aware of how truly terrible it is. Don't use this browser. The fact that it works with absolutely none of the current websites (not entirely true) on the internet today should be enough to get rid of it, but I'll go a little further with the evidence if anyone doesn't care about seeing websites. Customization is limited to the point that you can't add toolbars, the Google Web Accelerator, or any other helpful add-ons. And finally, fuck this browser. Use Firefox. If you don't want to use Firefox, don't use AT&T Yahoo!. There are plenty of other browser available:
Opera (I don't have a lot of experience with the version for Windows, because it tends to take up more of the UCP power and Firefox is better. But, I do use the Wii version of the browser, and I'm satisfied enough with it to suggest the Windows version as a good alternative to AT&T.)
IE (It comes with Windows. And as much as I hate to suggest it, it is a great deal better than the AT&T browser.)
