To one and all: HAPPY NUDE YEAR! ‘Cuz it’s coming. I’ll avoid the top 10 lists and retrospectives for now and instead leave folks with the one elixer to get us through it: 2 oz. vodka 1 oz. Chambord 1 oz. pineapple juice a single raspberry Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain into […]
As the “Mozilla vs. Apple” debate continues here at F_D, Gruber and a few others in my RSS feeds point out: [tag]Camino[/tag] goes to 1.0 beta 2. Great. A Cocoa-based browser with the [tag]Gecko[/tag] engine underneath. Before I know it, I’ll have all 83 browsers loaded up…
