Mad Dog Palin--The scariest thing about John McCain's running mate isn't how unqualified she is - it's what her candidacy says about America : Rolling Stone - http://www.rollingstone.com/politic...

"The great insight of the Palin VP choice is that huge chunks of American voters no longer even demand that their candidates actually have policy positions; they simply consume them as media entertainment, rooting for or against them according to the reflexive prejudices of their demographic, as they would for reality-show contestants or sitcom characters. Hicks root for hicks, moms for moms, born-agains for born-agains."
- Anna Haro
The truly disgusting thing about Sarah Palin isn't that she's totally unqualified, or a religious zealot, or married to a secessionist, or unable to educate her own daughter about sex, or a fake conservative who raised taxes and horked up earmark millions every chance she got. No, the most disgusting thing about her is what she says about us: that you can ram us in the ass for eight...

"Democracy doesn't require a whole lot of work of its citizens, but it requires some: It requires taking a good look outside once in a while, and considering the bad news and what it might mean, and making the occasional tough choice, and soberly taking stock of what your real interests are."
- Anna Haro
See, I believe that as a citizen you have the responsibility to pay attention to the people who will represent you and the laws they enact in your name. But with poor reporting and politicians doing so much behind closed doors, there's a dumbing down of American culture that's acceptable. How many people have you talked to who seem to have an opinion they want to spout on politics and in the same breath state proudly, "Politics bores me." or even worse, "All politicians are the same."?
- Admiral Anika
"And none of it matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne as part of your presidential ticket. And if she's a good enough likeness of a loudmouthed Middle American archetype, as Sarah Palin is, John Q. Public will drop his giant-size bag of Doritos in gratitude, wipe the Sizzlin' Picante dust from his lips and rush to the booth to vote for her."

Personally, I like Rolling Stone articles. But a word of caution.. they are always unapologetically extremely left-leaning.
- Phil G
hahaha...Carla, I thought the same thing.
- Anna Haro
The ironic thing is that the media is the primary cause of all this. Reducing politicians statements to sound bites where a few words from a larger speach can be spun one way or another. Politicians don't have to have grand ideas or positions, they just stick to hot button issues that play well on TV. Couple that with lobbyists and special interest groups to give them butt loads of...

I honestly don't know what the terms "left" and "right" mean anymore in American politics. I try to figure out who has the best command of the facts and who is making the most sense. This article makes a great deal of sense. (If I must define myself politically with a label, it would be "progressive libertarian.")

"Here's what Sarah Palin represents: being a fat fucking pig who pins "Country First" buttons on his man titties and chants "U-S-A! U-S-A!" at the top of his lungs while his kids live off credit cards and Saudis buy up all the mortgages in Kansas." - wow...harsh.

Taibbi *nails it* w/ the consumption of candidates as media entertainment. Infotainment has utterly corrupted news such that they are largely indistinguishable now. A huge disservice to the populace. And, of course, it results in this insane Reality TV show in front of us.

Why is the entire country not going, "WTF? You can't find a person more qualified in the entire Republican party? REALLY?!?!" Her selection was condescending to our entire citizenry, and everyone seems to be rolling with it.
- Robert Fischer
Why aren't more Republican women outraged that the party thinks so little of women that when they feel the need to add a vagina to the ticket, they don't give a damn about whether she's actually qualified?
- Trish R
why aren't they more outraged? because they're living vicariously via the pit bull. they see her and say, 'she's just like me'. but prettier and i bet you they aren't willing to admit that. so they over-identify with her and i'm left saying, 'yea, but i wouldn't vote you president of a committee of 2.'

"But watching Palin's speech, I had no doubt that I was witnessing a historic, iconic performance. The candidate sauntered to the lectern with the assurance of a sleepwalker — and immediately launched into a symphony of snorting and sneering remarks, taking time out in between the superior invective to present herself as just a humble gal with a beefcake husband and a brood of healthy,...

"The rest of Palin's speech was the same dog-whistle crap Republicans have been railing about for decades.

On the left is Firefox on Windows XP. On the right is Firefox on OS X. Same laptop screen. This is why I feel yucky when I have to work in Windows now. Granted, I don't have ClearType installed on the Windows side. But it doesn't make things THAT much better. IE7 is even worse.
- Paul Reynolds
Pay no mind to what that text actually says, I'm still editing it :o)
- Paul Reynolds
I thought Firefox did its own text rendering regardless of the OS. Hmm. This clearly shows that I was wrong.
- James (@willia4)
Meanwhile, I'm missing out on low priced commodity hardware and a large selection of game titles. (Figured I'd beat any Windows zealots to the punch)

- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I have noticed things are a lot clearer on my MBP than on my PC. Font and graphics-wise. It's refreshing.
- Araceli
Araceli - Yeah. OS X's text rendering is a trillion miles ahead of anything out of Redmond.
- James (@willia4)
My fonts are on Vista and they look TONS better than what you are seeing. ClearType DOES make a huge difference to me. I can't use a computer without it. Reminds me too much of 1994.

Hell, I'd even take XP in VMWare over an actual PC any day

Why is there a fuzz filter on the one to the right? How annoying. :)

ClearType does make a bigger difference than I remember: http://i.friendfeed.com/b53b81b...
- Paul Reynolds
wrong use of "you're" in the "If you don't understand these guidelines" paragraph. Should be "your"
- Imabug
I have to say I far prefer the non-cleartype one. Is something wrong with me? =p
- Daniel Bruce
imo, this discussion is of... dubious value. 1.) most folks would prefer the rendering that they're most familiar with- personally, I prefer the vista/ff rendering, and find the osx rendering artificially bold. 2.) the exact clear type (or osx font rendering) settings is hardware dependant. what looks great on your monitor may end up looking crappy when screenshotted and displayed on my monitor, due to things like pixel ordering, DPI, resolution, screen technology, etc.
- Chris Hollander
This, this right here, beautiful text rendering, is the one single reason I'm lusting after OS X. Safari on windows has the OS X style rendering, so it's possible on windows; just that Msoft has adopted clarity over font smoothing. Joel from Fogcreek has a good article detailing how the company philosophy is reflected in the font smoothing choices: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items...
- vijay
I went from programming full time (a heavy text reading occupation) exclusively on Windows for 8 years to OS X and it was something to get used to... it seemed blurry. But now Windows feels to aliased and clunky to me.
- Paul Reynolds
How does it look on Linux? ;) When I first moved to the Mac, the fonts did feel slightly blurry, but they feel perfect now. Depends on what you've been used to.
- Paul Grav
If that's all I'm missing then I'm pretty sure I'll survive. I can adjust my fonts in windows, turn off cleartype or turn it back on, so it'll be ok.
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
At first I thought the point was showing that based on browser/OS sniffing, the Baker's Dog website WAS charging $4.95 to Windows customers and WAS NOT charging Mac visitors at all! Then I realized the same text flowed differently and was outside the screenshot. Now that would have been a new kind of Windows tax.
- Micah Wittman
Hrmm... Micah... the wheels are turning. Maybe a discount if you're using Firefox (read: not IE) to buy your dog treats? :oB
- Paul Reynolds
C'mon, XP is a trillion years old. Get Win7 and enjoy it's nice font smoothing. And here's a great article for those who is praising Mac font rendering: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items.... Mac and Win font rendering mechanisms both have advantages, Mac is more print-optimised, while Win is screen-optimised.
- Kirill Petrovsky
You only need to activate ClearType and the page looks like it should. And yes, it makes a difference...
- Flynn (Michael A. Volz)
so...we're supposed to spend $500 more for a computer that renders texts differently? I think I'll use ClearType or other fonts on Windows and treat myself to another tech gadget.
- brainno722 (Peter)
Yes.

Enable cleartype and yes it makes a tonne of difference.

@Abby that was Adventure in all its blocky castle glory, yup.

Used to love Adventure with the keys and dragons. I never had Asteroids but my friends did. Never quite got the hang of it. I would accelerate too much and end up zooming diagonally across the screen out of control.
- Barak B
I loved Pitfall Harry. And even broke the score where you can send in a picture of the screen and they'll give you a patch. but dang my mom, she wouldn't take a pic of the screen so no patch for me. It was devestating!

Why The FCC Wants To Smash Open The iPhone (via feedly) - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
This makes me think about the 80s when they were breaking up the Bell System. Part of the dispute was that you could only use AT&T approved phones that you leased from AT&T to access the public switched phone network. Here we are in 2009 and it's practically the same thing. You can only use the phones that AT&T, Verizon, etc. allow you to use to access their network. Of course, you could buy an unlocked phone, but let's ignore that for now. My point is, history is again repeating itself

I would hope you would use something for a while and learn how it works before you pronounce it the "worst in history." Seems to be a judgement you're not really qualified to make.

Kimber: That's because he hasn't used the service and see's it as an alternative to FriendFeed rather then what it actually is a conversation agent

Nicholas: You meant Twitter, right? Here are some of his posts from earlier today. He must have dropped in after having signed up a while ago and saw he had alot of subscriptions he thinks he never signed up for. Obviously, he doesn't realize if he imported from Twitter he autosubscribed to people he was following there. His posts: didn't express myself clearly on FB and TWT. Want to be...

Chrome (WinXP and Ubuntu), then FF, and the odd work website that requires IE *shudder*.

are they still even bothering with IE anymore ?? it just seems lost in the haze of half baked ideas and the past lol my vote gos for firefox but will move to chrome once google add extensions

FireFox on the work and home machines as my primary because of all the add ons I can have, that just haven't come to Chrome yet. Chrome secondarily. I used to use Opera Mini on my cell phone but switched to SkyFire for S60 browsing.

Just lovin Chrome; fast and simple. FF was just too slow and buggy, but I do miss the FF add-ons. Still find a site or three that requires IE, but not very many these days.

The proper abbreviation for Firefox is Fx, which is good because then it doesn't conflict with the abbreviation for friendfeed, among other things.
- Tanath
opera still is the leader in features, the cntrl tab function shows every tab\ in a list, so easy to navigate, to go back to the previous tab, ctrl tab takes you by default back to the last used one..brilliant, user friendly, as always!

Most of my personal browsing is done on Mac Safari 4. By the time Chrome Mac arrives Snow Leopard will be out and Safari will have its own crash resistance, so no need to switch. At work I use every browser available except for Opera. I work mainly on Fx and using Chrome/Safari for personal browsing.

I have a local problem with Safari 4 that hasn't been solved yet, so I'm using the latest Firefox 3.5 beta. It's really good -- much faster than its predecessor. First release candidate is coming soon. It's already quite civilized.

I'm using chrome3 for most things. Safari4 is a bloat monster like Firefox. I've determined that I can make safari suck up hundreds and hundreds of megs of RAM by just opening and closing the same web page over and over. (which is not really a caching issue, it's a leak). Haven't tested the Safari update I got last night yet. Chrome is a little faster in sustained use, but Safari seems...
