I saw an update notice for Firefox 3.6.4 on one of the computers today. As always, I let it update. Wen I tried updating Firefox on other computers for some reasons no updates found.

Was Firefox 3.6.4 released and immediately pulled?

Mystery solved! Apparently someone installed Firefox 3.6.4 beta on that particular computer.

Dropbox is currently offline for some kind of maintenance. I’m pretty sure they’ll be up and running soon. I just love the artwork they created for the maintenance.

As we have previously discovered, Flash 10.1 beta is not affected by the crash-inducing bug. Matthew Dempsky has been pressing this issue for quite a while. The news hits front page of Hacker News earlier this week and garnered more attentions.

Adobe has now officially responded to this bug. The fix will beincluded in Flash 10.1 that will be released sometimes in 2010. Considering the nature of this bug, Adobe should have included the fix sooner in the 10.0.x release.

I have been using ClickToFlash for a while to weed out those pesky Flash-based ads. In addition to that I have not been missing Flash on the iPhone and iPod touch at all. In a way I’m glad that the iPad won’t be supporting Flash plugin.

Seriously, I don’t really depend on Flash when surfing the web.

Note to Darren Carter, you need to dump the stupid Flash-based site of yours. Get a real webmaster!

This Flash Will Crash Your Web Browsers. February 5, 2010

Found via Hacker News.

If you have even an up-to-date Flash plugin installed, it most likely will crash your browsers. It seems that this bug has been fixed in Flash 10.1 beta.

I have ClickToFlash installed, so I could actually read what this page says without having Safari crashed.

No wonder Steve Jobs won’t allow Flash on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
