Microsoft Provides Better Support for Google's Blogger Than Google Does

Google just released their new version of Blogger. However, the "BlogThis!" button, which allowed users to blog directly from Firefox via a bookmarklet or a button on the Google Toolbar, no longer works with the new version.

But the blogging Live Writer extension for Firefox works with the new version. You'll need to download Windows Live Writer and the Firefox extension for Live Writer and install them. The intersting thing is that Live Writer is from Microsoft. I am not a MS fanboy, but in this instance, they are providing better support for Blogger and Firefox than Google is!

Apple iMac (Intel Core Duo) review by PC Magazine

Why Mac's are better than PC's:
Apple iMac (Intel Core Duo) review by PC Magazine: "Aside from cooler cases, another benefit of running dual-core on Mac OS X over Windows is that in a Windows environment, you must run security software (such as antivirus, antispyware, and a firewall). Though dual-core processing helps speed up general performance even with such software running in the background, you are still diverting processor cycles. With Mac OS X, such security software is not necessary, so you're getting more processing power dedicated to apps you're actively using."

Starbucks Economics - Solving the mystery of the elusive "short" cappuccino. By Tim Harford: "Here's a little secret that Starbucks doesn't want you to know: They will serve you a better, stronger cappuccino if you want one, and they will charge you less for it.
