First of all, "not using the internet for a day" is not really an option for many people. It's like telling someone that doesn't like traffic to "just not drive".

I think the frustration arises from the fact that these stories are becoming unescapable. They're popping up on every news source, and every Twitter stream. It's almost impossible not to see them popping up everywhere. See it once, fine. See it again? And again? And again? It starts to get annoying. HN happens to be one channel where venting these frustrations is relatively easy.

I don't have any specific features in mind, really. Being on OSX, I can't opt out of Safari. Chrome is my main browser because it feels fast, and rarely causes me pain. Safari is my backup. I just don't have a need for a third browser, and the first two slots are taken. One by default, and one because it's a great piece of software.

I want to be excited by this, but FF is just no longer a compelling browser option for me anymore. I recently had it installed only for Firebug, but now that Chrome and Safari have embedded reasonable developer tools, I feel like I don't have any need for another browser. I know the FF team is planning on a more continuous update cycle, but I wonder if it may be too late.

If he leaves, down goes the guy-to-girl ratio.

So you’re upset that Apple wouldn’t approve your money-grubbing stupid idea? Give me a break.
