Workers take Caterpillar Inc managers hostage

Christopher
Alert

Wait a minute...

The unions are basically taking hostages and the ringleaders aren't being thrown in jail? Okay, you're upset about loosing all those people paying you dues, but in no way does that make it okay to effectively kidnap people!

Complete Hogwash

Firefox and Safari updates tackle alternative browser bugs

But its hard...

... to not just hit [Enter] on a Windows box!

But in all seriousness, if you don't want to see Safari updates, then take the two seconds to click on Tools > Ignore Update and whammo, you will not be bothered by it again when Apple's updater runs next time.

Knew this was the way it was

Heck I had just set up a new account with Sprembarq and not 20 minutes after I got off the phone and the account was fully activated in their system I was getting spam. Not just any spam either, but spam that used my full name. I was livid to be sure.

Apple emasculates the iPhone

Christopher

Aye

It is a real shame too, because like everyone, I have more than 8 gigs of music, and playlists chafe me something awful :(

Christopher

Okay

So it looks like if you let this thing synch, even once, on your macintosh/PC/toaster, thats it, game over on the drag and drop ability. Now I'm a bit peeved as I really didn't want to make playlists for all my artists D:

Christopher

So bizarre!

I know I was able to drag music to this thing when I first got it. I wanted to try out the speakers on it, so I dropped his copy of (mob)Scene right into the phone. However, once I took the phone home and actually synched it with my mac, I can no longer drag and drop, even when I turn synching off. Perhaps try it on the computer of someone with a fresh install of iTunes that has no information about your iPhone on it. Just don't let it even think about synching :P

Christopher

Hmm

Well, I will try to replicate my earlier claims about this tomorrow on my work computer.

Apple's Safari lacks bold vision

Christopher

No problems here...

I must be inside the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field or something, but on my Vista computer I have no issues with Safari 3 Beta, and it runs blazingly fast. No blurry text, no missing bold, no crazy broken languages, or odd errors. I also have to appreciate the restore last session thing though (the one feature that was holding me fast to Firefox) as occasionally I can mis-click and close something I didn't want to or whatnot.
