		<description><![CDATA[By now everyone is familiar with the term â€œbeta test.â€ Itâ€™s often that first release into the wild for software, websites, and new products. The idea is that by giving a select few access to the â€œlatest and greatestâ€ they will in turn provide valuable feedback and identify problem areas. This gives the creator the [...]]]></description>

And, it can prevent a lot of pain down the road. The hard drive in my PowerBook (laptop) went far south the other night. Dead. No resurrection in sight. Although, I did [...]]]></description>

The crucial extensions I need for everyday use have all been updated to work with version 3, so Firefox 2 may well be heading off into the sunset (except for testing of course).

		<description><![CDATA[Safari is quick. Lightning quick when compared to Firefox 2, which is what I was using about 90% of the timeâ€”and yes, it is mainly because of the extensions. When I upgraded to Leopard, Firefox took a back seat, unless I really needed the extensions like Firebug and the Web Developer Toolbar. Safari became my [...]]]></description>

The concept is to turn your lights out from 8:00 p.m. on March 29th, 2008 to raise energy use awareness. Then there are some links to other sites, like Climate Savers, [...]]]></description>
