Gnome 3 turns your PC into a big heavy cellphone

Gnome 3 turns your PC into a big heavy cellphone

or why I will never install Fedora 15

Currently running F14 with Gnome 2, which comes with panel where I dropped menubar, window selector, log out and shutdown buttons, a handful of application shortcuts, disk mounter, notification area, Fish, Netspeed, Sensors and clock.

None of that is available in Gnome 3. As a root I don't even have a popup menu and can't configure the panel. Off it goes into the trashcan.

Firefox is getting worse and worse

Firefox is getting worse and worse

Long time ago I switched from using IE to Firefox. It was a robust stable browser, well supported by add-ons that made my life simple.

It was approximately 6 years ago. Down the road I am at the point where all I can do is bid farewell to Firefox and stop using it. The reason being it simply does not work in more and more sites. Examples are numerous, but Google maps, comfree.ca and trader.ca were the tipping point.

I had to win a small war against the "Mozilla community" just to get MLS a.k.a realtor.ca to display the map. That cost me some gray hair and there is no way in hell I am going thru this process again, if the rest of the world does not care.

If Epiphany can do it, Mozilla should.

So in Woody Allen's voice: So long, assholes!
