Relativity, Mozilla and celebrities

Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity: In Words of Four Letters or Less, by Brian Raiter.

Elsewhere, Mozilla UI guru Matthew Thomas has commented on Safari, "the turbo browser for Mac OS X"; you're not likely to find this much usability/interface insight elsewhere.

On the topic of Mozilla, there is atm one thing really annoying me about this otherwise fine browser. I've customized my Tabbed Browsing preferences to allow me to use my mouse scroller (third button) to open links in a new tab. It works great. But lately, for some (apparently) proxy-related reason, link requests do not work the first time around. And coupled with this, over the years (and probably from IE's influece) I have developed a habit of closing the parent page before the child link has even loaded, for a clean and optimal desktop. And where I am going with all of this: the child URL does not display in the Location Bar until the link has been retrieved (successfully or not). Which leaves me to retrace my steps to the parent page, find that link and click it, wait for the request to complete, and then close the parent page.

I'm sure it's already listed as a bug so I won't file it myself, but it will be interesting to see if this ever changes in future builds.

And finally, rotting away at the bottom for the intellectually starved, is celebrities-eating.com: Real Celebs, eating Real Food. Gasp. *REAL* food? No way! (found at memepool)
