Asa’s got a blog post about Firefox 2 being used at NASA for the Mars Phoenix Lander.
Bonus: on a Mac.
When you’ve got to visit foreign worlds, and demand the best, Firefox and Mac OS X deliver.

ImportGenius.com who compiles the trade data from U.S. Customs records and provides access to continuously updated database of records on every shipment entering the United States. Did a little digging and found some interesting shipments with Apple’s name on it that came in on the NYK Delphinus:

Apple Inc’s most recent shipment of the new [...]

By default when connecting over SSH to my Mac OS X 10.4 box (using bash shell), there’s no ANSI color. Sometimes it’s pretty handy to have. I keep forgetting how to turn it on.
To add, put the following in the .profile file in your home directory:

Bash [Show Styled Code]:

TERM=xterm-color; export TERM

I presume everyone remembers the whole debate about Apple misusing Software Update to push Safari to iTunes users. For those who don’t, I’d suggest reading John Lilly’s blog post on the topic. Several prominent Mozilla bloggers spoke out about that practice.
It did help their market share according to Net Apps, though we’re talking [...]

Business Week has a great write up on Macs in the office. Apparently more and more companies are becoming receptive of a dual platform environment, and more and more employees are requesting better computers (yea, I said “better”).
I’ve found consistently over the years that they are just more reliable requiring much less effort to [...]

Based on some images floating around the net, when Steve Ballmer does a presentation, he’s got what looks like a MacBook Pro behind the scenes.
Not the first time Microsoft has been caught using a better OS. Back in 2003 Microsoft fired an employee for blogging about the arrival of some Dual 2GHz Power Mac [...]

Seems everyone who tries Windows Vista comes to at least one of two conclusions (if not both):

Please don’t let Windows XP Expire - There’s even a petition for those in this camp. And it’s getting press.
Mac Time - Enough said. Mac OS X 10.5 isn’t perfect, but is anything? It’s about as [...]

So more is coming out about the next iPhone, which we all know is going to be 3G. Someone found evidence of it in the recent update to the iPhone SDK. The SGOLD2 chipset will be replaced with the SGOLD3, which supports 3G networks (as we all expected). Looking at the specs [...]

Looks like Apple will be switching Safari to use GDI for font rendering on Windows in the future. Not such a bad thing. The CoreGraphics antialiasing looks good on a Mac, but does look strange on Windows. I think this will please more Windows users who expect Safari to be a good [...]

The other day, Martha Stewart blogged about her MacBook Air, which seems to have been picked up by a lot of tech blogs. It’s not really news that she’s a Mac user. She’s been seen among many Macs before. She’s got an iPhone too. She does use a HP laptop as [...]
