I’ve been a long time Safari user. In fact, I continue to use it today as my primary web browser. I’ve never been averse to trying other browsers of course — what good geek wouldn’t try new software? This is something I have and will continue to do. One browser that I have never beenContinue reading “Firefox: Not A Good Citizen on OS X Lion”

The Problem with iCloud and Instacast
I don’t blame developers for having a rough time with implementing iCloud syncing into their apps.
