1/21    Netscape homepage finally looks decent! It took those idiots
        3 years to figure out that:
        - they're hiring too many stupid people who write c0r3 dump war3z
        - their web site sucked big time
        \_ They still need to kill the stupid pop-up menu/tab things that
           show up if you use netscape4
        \_ Yeah, now it's *almost* useful.  Too bad one of the companies that
           helped popularise the web can't get their own web page(s) together.
           \_ Now if they can give me a browser that doesn't IGNORE its
              OWN preferences, "Use MY fonts, overriding document",
              so I don't have 2 millimetre-high fonts on their page...
                \_ Netscape will give away the SOURCE code of the browser
                   for FREE to anybody starting with version 5.0.  Now
                   you can modify the src and give yourself whatever kind
                   of browser you want.
                  \_ NO THANKS. Debugging bloatwarez for Netscrape for free
                     is not my idea of fun.
                   \_ The whole source?  To what exactly?

                         \_ 5.0
        _ frame -- a Netscape disease. Can't live with, can't live without.
          \_ i can sure live without it.

11/1    Intelligient writeup of Google's OpenSocial platform by Marc
        Andreesen: http://blog.pmarca.com/2007/10/open-social-a-n.html
        I got a chance to start working with OpenSocial before the public
        release as part of my job at Slide, and it's been a pleasure to work
        with.  If you're looking for an interesting new platform to hack on,
        I'd suggest giving OpenSocial a look.  Incidentally, Slide is hiring.

        upgrade to YM7, and answering questions that ask me if I'm SURE

        as the default search engine, YM7 installer still installed a
        stupid Yahoo toolbar. Yahoo is getting more and more annoying
