Twitter isn’t much good to me if I can’t use the browser _I_ want for it and the crap that’s inflicted on us called IE8 won’t work either. I’ve gone back to FF 3.0.13, do I need to use FF2? Maybe IE5? I do NOT need a program that does exactly what my browsers do anyway. All I want is a simple list of tweets that interest me. And the ability to reply to them. It’s been two days.
Still cannot update Twitter from Firefox.

A New Direction
With the opening of Voices from the Future, I am going to keep this more for the computer articles and put the less related stuff on VftF. So, some articles will change, some will vanish, but Tech Teach will still be here.

Side by side: UI changes from Windows 7 beta to Windows 7 RC - Ars Technica
Even in just 100 builds, Win7 is looking better. What’s under the hood might be very similar to Vista, but what you see and interact with are going to be different. But that’s for the better. This article shows many of the changes Microsoft has made just between the two Windows7 releases they’ve allowed us to try out. I am using on two computers right now, neither of them are full time work machines. One is an old Toshiba Satellite 1800-S204 with a Celeron 1000, 512MBs of RAM and 16MB AGP graphics. This machine can’t play the version of Solitaire that comes with Win7 because of the video. However, it does Win7 better than it ran XP Pro and boots quicker. The other computer is an AMD Athlon XP2100 running 1.5GBs of RAM and a Maddog nVidia FX5500 128MB AGP card. It also runs Win 7 better than XP Pro, but can run Solitaire. So far, I’m very impressed with the changes that Microsoft has made to Win7 and to improve the OS experience. However, I was hoping for something more, like a new hard drive format to replace NTFS, a better file search or organizational feature (not sure that Libraries cuts it yet), and improved security. That being said, if you are dissatisfied with Vista, then you should be following the news on Windows7.
