I am finally getting around to actually posting this. Everyone should kindly check out this site. It has a several reasons why Internet Explorer is unsafe.

Microsoft Denies Using Firefox
Brian Peterson, of Microsoft’s PR firm Waggener Edstrom, said: “None of our approved/distributed screen shots of MSN Search were made using a Mozilla Firefox browser. Moving forward, we will not be commenting on this issue”.
Here is the screenshot in question. How stupid can you get? It’s plain to anyone with eyes that this is Firefox, why deny it?
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Today will be a nice chill game of football, reading, and plenty of eating.
Gettin ready to leave
So guess who the genius is who cut his nose while shaving? I’ll give you one guess. lol ... So yeah, I managed to cut the underside of my nose when I was shaving my moustache (or lack of). Ah well, it adds character. I am looking forward to this break very much. I love train rides, they tend to be so relaxing; much more so than driving to and from home. It’ll be a nice chance to get some serious reading done (I have to read 2 and 1/2 books this weekend). It’ll be nice to see my brother, I get to see him maybe every couple of months at this point. Family is always a great thing. It’s funny how even after months apart with only a few quick conversations things just seem like there was no gap in time when we’re all together again. Anyways, I am going to go and wake a certain someone up to get a hug before I take off.
Happy Turkey Day!
Xerox tracks your photocopies
GIANT PHOTOCOPYING firm Xerox has admitted designing its colour photocopiers so that they put a hidden code on your copy that will help the US government identify you.
How scary is that? I am sure there are plenty of people saying, “Yeah, but you have to be using a Xerox copier for this to matter” And my response would be, “Yes, but a vast majority of office copiers are made by Xerox. Scary stuff. 
Installed Tiger on PearPC
I honestly don’t know what all the hassle over trying to install Tiger on PearPC was about. I had Panther already installed, like most people who are already using PearPC, then all I did was make an ISO of the DMG file ... mount the iso like you would any other ISO in PearPC, boot… copy the DMG from the ISO onto the HD that Panther is already installed on, then shutdown PearPC and mounted a new empty HD (for Tiger) and then rebooted. I then started the install from inside Panther and choose to install it on the empty new HD because you can’t install it on the currently mounted volume anyways (duh) ...that’s it. Literally, if you’re installed Panther you can figure out how to install Tiger.
As for Tiger, it’s nice, it’s noticeably a little slower than Panther (especially on PearPC), but overall it’s nice. It’s a little strange because I’ve mainly been playing with Tiger on our dual 1.8Ghz G4’s at work, so this is obviously a huge drop in speed, but ah well. Spotlight, is well, a waste of time and money. It’s no different than the search that’s already in Panther (and already included in Windows since Windows 95). Dashboard...well don’t even get me started. Such a huge waste of space, time, money, and system resources. It’s absolutely no different than Konfabulator, and if I was the company that created Konfabulator I would be suing Apple’s sorry ass for stealing my product.
