Best new web browser? and 5 hours of energy...


Ever used Apple's Safari web browser? Yeah, it was pretty much the worst browser in the HISTORY of web browsers. I'd take Netscape 3.1 over that thing! (Sorry, nerd humor. Though I do miss the N with the little shooting stars over it...) Apple just made the Safari 4 beta public and they have seriously upped the cool factor. Plus, word on the street is that it is the fastest browser on the web (especially when it comes to java). Erik and I have both been screwing around with it and it "feels" faster but, in reality, the differences in the speed of web browsing is measured in milliseconds. (Roughly 6 thousand of those passed when you were reading the last sentence.) I do recommend checking it out, though. It looks pretty and runs well. Click the picture above and you're there.


That is the 5-hour ENERGY that we tried on the show this morning. I meant what I said: it tasted pretty good. I *did* experience a slight giddiness immediately following my initial sip but it quickly dissipated. I don't know that it is worth $4 but at $1 I might be up for trying it more often. Maybe it's a good thing it is so expensive...
