Crippling Firefox Bug On Mac OS X

As I’m sure you all know, Firefox v1.5 has been officially released and is available for download. Got a G5 processor? Check out this page to download a G5-optimized version of the Fox that is a bit faster. You would think all is gravy in Mozilla-land, but that is definitely not the case.

Joyent Acquires TextDrive

Big news (to me at least) in the industry today — our friends at TextDrive were just acquired by my favorite startup, Joyent. Joyent has some really cool web-based collaborative software that currently runs on an all-in-one device you pop into your company’s network infrastructure. Now that Joyent acquired TextDrive, a web hosting company, I’m sure this will accelerate the hosted versions of their wonderful collaborative apps. This also means that Dean Allen and John Gruber are joining forces, which means that some really hot shit is probably afoot.

Lots of congrats to everyone involved, I can’t wait to see where this leads.

Thanks for the tip, Niall!

Open Source Media CEO Screwed Business Partner?

To be honest with all of you, I have never, ever seen a business go from launch to meltdown as quickly as Open Source Media appears to be. Since they launched, I have only seen ONE positive analysis of their business and that came from seattlepi.com where it was simply reporting the company’s launch news in an unbiased manner. Besides that, everything else I’ve read (that wasn’t written by an OSMer) has been negative and this next link takes the damn cake.
