Snow Leopard Day: CNET Weighs In

Many of you are trapped at the office today, and maybe you can't wait to get out of there and go pickup Snow Leopard. Or maybe you have a PowerPC Mac and can't install it if you want to. Either way, you probably want to learn more about it, and what better way to do that than to watch a quick video while you're at work?

Here's CNET's (or is it cnet like the logo? or c|net, or, oh nevermind) "First Look" at Snow Leopard:

How The Other Side Lives: CNET Reviews IE 8

The opening to Stephen Shankland's review of Internet Explorer 8 sums it up best:

In the interest of broadening my horizons, I promised Microsoft I'd give Internet Explorer 8 a fair shake by trying the browser as my default for a week.

And, boy, am I glad that week is over.

He goes on to mention that IE still isn't in the same class as his preferred browsers, Firefox and Chrome (can we hurry up with that Mac version of Chrome, please?). Still, from the "It couldn't get worse" files, Shankland recommends current IE 7 users upgrade due to increased security features. Overall though, the sluggishness of the interface, gave him pause (literally), and made him long for his browsers of choice.

Being April Fool's Day and all, I have a foolish proposal for Microsoft: bring IE back to the Mac. Just for fun, as we say around here.
