			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Only a month ago, I said that <a href="http://somewhatmanlynerd.com/blog/2010/03/22/i-think-ive-made-a-permanent-move-to-google-chrome/">I had probably made a permanent move to Google Chrome</a> as my primary internet browser, but its bugs and quirks are starting to wear on me. This has happened at least a couple of times before.</p>
<p>- The slow animated GIF problem will always be there. And in addition to that, I had heard some Mac users complain about how GIFs need to load completely before they animated at all, but I hadn&#8217;t come across it until a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, it only lasted for a day or two. I have no idea what happened.</p>
<p>- When I was recently looking for info on golf handicaps, I was directed to About.com and when I got there, the correct formatting flashed for about 0.3 seconds before reverting back to a 1995-style webpage with no formatting whatsoever. I try reloading numerous times and the same thing happened everytime. And it happened with a bunch of About.com pages. But hey, it seems to be working now!</p>
<p>- Highlighting text can be extremely wonky sometimes. I have no way to expand on this &#8212; it&#8217;s just very annoying.</p>
<p>- Almost every time I click on the &#8220;Publish&#8221; button after finishing up a blog post, it ends up loading forever and I need to highlight my entire post and copy it and then refresh the page and paste it back in the editing box and hit &#8220;Publish&#8221; again. I even tried hitting &#8220;Save Draft&#8221; before attempting to publish, and while it worked the first time around, that was not indicative of future attempts.</p>
<p>- <a href="http://somewhatmanlynerd.com/blog/2010/03/22/i-think-ive-made-a-permanent-move-to-google-chrome/#comment-11683">As someone commented in my last Chrome-related post</a>, the search bar (apparently called the OmniBox?) is not nearly as quick as the Firefox AwesomeBar. It is also much less reliable.</p>
<p>- In preparation for my Song of the Week post yesterday, I attempted to listen to the direct link of &#8220;Sorrow&#8221; only to greeted with a second of painful corruption noise before the song actually started. I thought the song got corrupted during its upload to my webspace, but when I tested it in Firefox, it was totally fine. And when I tested it within its Flash player in the actual blog post, it was also fine. Bizarre.</p>
<p>These complaints aren&#8217;t enough to push me back to Firefox because it&#8217;s much easier to stick with the status quo, and that is now Chrome for me, minor frustrating issues aside. It just sheds some light on why Chrome hasn&#8217;t eaten much into Firefox&#8217;s marketshare; IE has been the browser hurt most by Chrome since the latter&#8217;s release.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have no idea what I&#8217;m even doing yet, but the potential for this tool is positively IMMENSE. Even if SUPER-ALPHA PHASE, Ubiquity has a bunch of cool things to do. Most of them are tied with various Google apps. Man, Microsoft is just getting railed on the internet. IE being overtaken by Firefox, and Google creating countless browser-based applications. No wonder Steve Ballmer once said he was &#8220;going to fucking kill Google.&#8221; Anyhow, Ubiquity is a tool that attempts to bring the entire internet together.</p>
<p><a href="http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/">Just go here to find out about &#8212; and then install &#8212; the future of the internet</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not even sure what I can do to explain it better than Mozilla has, so just watch the video on there. I&#8217;m also really not sure HOW I&#8217;m going to implement this add-on yet, since I haven&#8217;t even had time to mess around and experiment with it yet. It&#8217;s definitely useful for people that utilize email a bunch, but I&#8217;m not one of those people. I&#8217;m sure by the end of the week, a bunch of awesome user-created scripts will be popping up across the internet. I&#8217;m trying to think of stuff, but nothing&#8217;s coming &#8212; and that&#8217;s why i don&#8217;t work at Google or Mozilla.</p>
<p>One thing I DO know: This would be totally fucking awesome OS-wide, not just limited to Firefox. I bet Microsoft is ready to steal the idea already.</p>
