I agree completely Klyde. Mozilla has built a platform with Firefox that enables lots of little bits of innovation.

This is what happened to Perl 5 with the ability to create modules and the birth of CPAN.

I use Firefox myself, and I advocate it to my friends. When it’s a friend using IE I have a lot of reasons for them to switch, but when it’s a friend who uses Safari the only reason I have is Add-ons. It’s like Wordpress, it’s getting to the point where there will be an add-on for everything. I just turn on my laptop and show them the different things I can do with it. I use Add-ons for everything. SEO and Social Networking, I use firebug also, Sxipper… I have over a dozen Add-ons. I don’t know for sure but I really have the feeling that this is getting more and more popular. I sort of grew up with the internet, and I’m usually right about these things. Apple will realize how critical this is but it’s probably going to take failure to have them realize.

That is what I thought it might be.

I see the digital world enabling us to express ourselves in ways that might not have been easy or possible in the physical world, but our physical world related attributes are still a significant part of who we are and will be.

Look at the rise of Facebook that reflects the physical world much more then MySpace which is more a free for all.

But this all may be my point of view not being a "native" of the Internet.

Safari 3 beta for windows is a yawn too.

Dick - female here. sense of humor is part of identity - re your post-it joke… and obviously that ad was written by a male — a real woman would’ve been long gone.

But I wanted to ask whether this all ‘identity as effect or affect of a persona-cause’ isn’t so Earth 1.0 — isn’t cloud 2.0 all about the holographic ‘effects actually driving the cause?’ - that you are trying to imprison with credentials what is fastly atomizing? Heed the firefox lesson re Apple - aren’t we all just a pile of add-ons and post-its to one another’s holograms?

Glad to hear that Safari 3 is helping! I have not had a perf issue myself with Safari, but have switched to Firefox so that I can user Sxipper!

Safari 3 is MUCH faster on certain sites, especially MSNBC.com. No more spinning beach ball!

I use Safari most of the time, I use Firefox for a few things, and for JS debugging (Firebug rules).

I think this was a good year to miss. The tech sessions always provide value, but I look forward to hearing about new Apple directions live at the WWDC keynote.

Does Safari 3 run faster for you? (are you running Safari or Firefox?
