Comment Re:iPod is a dud (Score 2) 134

itunes 2 wasn't that bad (at least on osx, don't remember what it was like on os9), but yeah, needing a mac to get music onto an mp3 player was quite a barrier of entry

when they first added windows support it was a pain (musicmatch jukebox was not the best)

as for codecs, mp3 was fine for the time, i know my entire music library was mp3 at that point

actually using an ipod was pretty nice though, scrolling through a library with a wheel instead of buttons, having more than a couple lines of screen real estate, it makes sense that it was popular

but keep in mind it didn't really take off until gen 3, at which point itunes for windows existed

can't find the abcnews ones (the link i found was http://abcnews.go.com/media/US... but it isn't in the wayback machine), and haven't looked too much into where the CNN .swf files are hiding

Comment Re:Chrome was superior when introduced (Score 1) 408

i remember having firefox 3.x nicely customized with extensions i liked and trying out the alphas/betas for firefox 4, but using chrome more and more because it was fast

then chrome hit what felt like extension parity and i switched over completely

i'm sure i'm not alone in that experience

firefox didn't get fast fast enough

chrome sync made chrome an easy default for new machines

but now that i don't use a google account chrome is much less inviting

so for the past year or so i've been using firefox on debian and firefox on android and i've been very happy with them (ublock origin works with mobile firefox)
