Yet Another Reason to Use Firefox
Drunkenblog.com is reporting another image floating around the Internet which when load into a Mac crashes Safari, Preview or any other Apple application that tries to open it. Why? Beats the hell out of me, but the Drunkenblog has an explanation here. Be careful about poking around if you are using Safari because he has post of the picture that causes the crash.
The good news is the image does not cause this problem with Firefox or other Internet Explorer. Of course, IE has it's own set of problems, but I will say I do like the new tabbed browsing in IE7. Yes, Firefox and Safari have tabbed browsing, but opening a new tab is much easier in the latest beta from Microsoft.
I even impressed a long-time Mac user when I demonstrated to him the new tabs in IE7. Maybe I should drop the good folks over at Mozilla an e-mail.
