Bill Gates: He's not bad

Last night I saw a news piece on Mr. Gates that really gave me some admiration for him. They were naming him and his wife people of the year for giving away more money faster than anyone ever has. He has given away almost 1/3 of his wealth and if I'm not mistaken, has plans to give it all away. He's having a tremendous impact in third world countries and in funding scientific research. It brought a tear to my eye. Much as I dislike Microsoft and love Apple, Bill Gates is doing quite a wonderful thing. He's an extremely wealthy man, but his corporation is even more wealthy. Most large corporations are. Just imagine if Mr. Gates and other CEOs made it a priority for their companies to give back a little. Say just 10% of their profits. Imagine the positive change that would make in the world. It would be awesome.

Firefox Uses Less Memory Than Safari

I read Jamis Buck's post on Returning to FireFox and decided to give it a try myself. I'm liking it. It's seems faster and most importantly for me it doesn't seem to be a memory hog like Safari. Safari seems to have a bad memory leak. I tend to leave my browser open all the time and with Safari my memory just keeps filling up and as soon as I quit, lots of memory is freed up. Firefox seems to be nice and steady.
