This was originally titled “introducing Beefeater” back in February when we first brought the Mac mini into the fold but… Well, life and blogging has a funny way of getting away from you sometimes. Let us not digress: Remember Malkovich? Poor Malkovich. Malkovich did finally crash its final crash, shitting the bed with epic and […]

It’s backed by WebKit–just like Safari, my current favorite–and so if nothing else, I know it has a tried and true and powerful engine going behind the scenes. That said, I’ve tried out more than […]
