为什么说 Firefox 是一款糟糕的浏览器？
不多说，直接摆理由：
极其糟糕的启动速度。好吧，3.6 是比 3.5 快了那么「一点点」，但是同样是装了 N 多插件，启动一个 Firefox 的时间足够我开 5 个 Chrome 了；
愚蠢的插件安装机制。都什么年头了，居然装个插件还要重新启动，是为了炫耀你的启动速度吗？
缓慢的新标准支持进度。当我在 Webkit 内核下开心地做着 CSS3 动画实验时，我不想也不好意思承认 Firefox 曾经是新标准推动的先驱。喂！Chrome 已经支持直接写 border-radius 啦！
不算快的开发进度。跟 Chrome 相比，Firefox 的开发进度已经堪称龟速了；
不稳定的自家服务。Firefox Sync? 好用是好用，但是你的同步服务器三天两头地宕机，让我怎么放心用啊！
烂到渣的 JS 引擎。它快吗？真的快吗？用 V8 就像用 Retina...

2011: Internet Stuff I Can't Live Without
已经习惯了每天让 iTunes 自行启动，让自己去下载订阅的一堆 podcasts。
习惯了早上上班的路上带耳机听最新一期的 Trance Around The World 或者 A State Of Trance；习惯了晚上睡觉前看会儿 Diggnation，跟着傻乐；习惯了周日起床后伸个懒腰，打开邮箱读这周的 Javascript Weekly；也习惯了早上上班开始工作前，瞅一眼 Ruby5 防止自己落下了什么；随后，打开一个名为 Daily 的书签文件夹，把自己关心的东西挨个看一遍。
2010 年给我留下了这些习惯，2011 年呢？细数一下，看看今年自己离不开的东西：
Simplenote Lawrence 和 Overboming 力荐的随笔记录工具，除去网站本身的精美外，几款第三方客户端也是让人爱不释手，我现在用 Notational Velocity (Mac) 和...

Trading Yesterday
Trading Yesterday 是我个人最喜欢的一只乐队，同时乐队主唱和词曲作者 David Hodges 也是我最欣赏的艺人。
聆听 Trading Yesterday 的声音有种丝绸划过耳际乃至心间的感觉，一个词来概括：通体舒泰。他们的风格是老少皆宜的 Piano Rock，有些 Christian Rock 的影子。
其实今天不是来说音乐的。在他们的第一张专辑 More Than This 的发行前际，Trading Yesterday 跟之前的东家 Epic Records 解约，于是这张专辑永远没有了见面和摆上唱片架的机会。后来，这张专辑被泄露到了网上，被无数寻觅知音的耳朵发现，我就是其中一个，从此难以自拔。

jQuery & CDNs
Yeah, everybody loves jQuery, as well as Content Delivery Networks.
But in case you missed the announcements, there were two important things about jQuery and its CDN.
jQuery Official: Hotlinking to be disabled on Jan 31, 2011 So if you’re using (hotlinking) jQuery from jquery.com, it’s time for you to switch to the Google AJAX CDN or the recommended source: http://code.jquery.com
