Comment Re:Who in their right mind would want to use FAT? (Score 1) 272

The 4 GB file size limit can be a bit of a hassle at times.

Indeed, I fell foul of it at the weekend with my Playstation 3. The PS3's PlayTV hardware add-on lets you record digital TV broadcasts to the PS3 hard drive, and in turn allows you to copy these recordings to a USB stick for use wherever you like. This falls down when you record something over about 2 hours long as the file is then over 4GB, and the PS3 only supports USB drives formatted in FAT32.

Same here. Unlike for you, I, and no doubt most others on slashdot, hype about internet browsers tends to completely bypass most 'normal' people - I meet plenty of people who've had Firefox installed for a long time by a third person who simply told them 'it's better/faster/more secure than Internet Explorer', but these people had no idea they could do other things like tabbed browsing (that previously they couldn't do with IE, and as they haven't gone back to it they're still none the wiser) as it wasn't an obvious feature until now.

Comment One new feature I'm pleased about.... (Score 1) 436

...is that Firefox finally has an 'open a new tab' icon by default (adjacent to the last open tab in the list), I know that you can add an icon yourself, and that double-clicking the tab bar opens a new tab, but I know plenty of people that weren't even aware that tabbed browsing is a feature of Firefox as it wasn't obvious!
