IE8 faster than Firefox and Chrome? Hmmm …
ZDNet
Goes Google’s landing page really give the browser much of a workout? Yahoo!? Wikipedia? Sure these landing pages are very very popular but most are very tight and highly optimized. What I’d like to see is how the browsers compare when you’re looking at a results page on Google or a really big entry on Wikipedia or when looking at the store on Apple’s site. If you’re just visiting the landing sites of these selection of site then IE8 will be faster about half the time what I’d really like to see is how it performs as you’re browsing away from the landing page and actually start doing something on the site you’re visiting. So while I’m reasonably happy with the way the test was done I feel that the choice of sites was poor and don’t reflect well what people do with their browsers. Also my experience with the different browsers seems to support my belief that IE is not the fastest for general browsing.

Since ‘Reilly has already once denounced Brown’s administration as consisting of “pinheads” and the student body as a bunch of moral degenerates I assume ‘Reilly will be less concerned with Nas’s influence on Brown. I guess I’m sold as I may be brainwashed to automatically dislike ‘Reilly by just being a Brown student.
Steele had them at hip-hop

And it sounds like Republicans might be afraid of losing their monopoly on God. So why did Steele get elected? Perhaps some Republicans saw a prophetic sign like one in a questionably apocryphal story that circulated about Steele during his Lieutenant Governor campaign in 2002. According to Wikipedia Steele’s campaign claimed that the opposition handed out oreo cookies before a debate which ended up at Steele’s feet; however there was no report of the incident until some time later. The implication the campaign said was that Steele was black on the outside and white on the inside. Did Republicans start to believe their own likely-apocryphal story when they elected Steele as RNC chairman? It hardly matters now. Nobody in the national media I’m aware of has questioned the motives of the Republicans planned no-confidence vote and it will be hard to when the party can point to Dr.
