Op/Ed
  • "Do you use an all-in-one printer? If so, which works best with Mac OS X?" MacDailyNews 2:31 PM
  • "I just did a clean install of Snow Leopard on a MBP 2.2GHz C2D and instead of continuing as usual with FF 3.5 I thought it would be interesting to compare Safari against iCab (both in 64 bit mode). According to http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/index.action, iCab is slightly faster than Safari and considerably faster than FF 3.5 with none of its cpu hogging. Not a big performance difference in iCab over Safari but I love its options flexibility and user control. iCab is my browser of choice these days." MacInTouch 9:34 AM
