I was just forcibly upgraded to Firefox 5 at work. FF5 is the reason I switched to Chrome on my home computer.

That said, is there a way to make the tabs appear right above the browser content instead of way up at the top? It's a minor thing, but it's driving me bonkers.

Right-click on the menu bar, and deselect "Tabs on Top."

I'm 99% sure it's not authorized on more than 5 computers, and in fact, iTunes tells me this is #4 of 5. Until I try to sync my iPod, when it says I'm not authorized at all. Awesome. It's apparently a common issue (at least, there are a lot of google results), but none of the suggested fixes have worked for me. I actually haven't tried deauthorizing my old computer, so I'll try that, but I don't think it's the actual problem.

I have this problem to, but it's only about a few songs that are affected so I live with it. It started around the 4th of July. Sadly, one can only deauthorize all computers once a year and I did it in January.

I'm wondering if it's related to the cookies problem i'm having with with Blogger, for which the only solution seems to be having to sign in to every other site every time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That would be so ohmygawdawesome if my Ruby were beyond, like Hello World level. And if I wanted a job. And anyway, everyone should look up Jane's book if they don't know the name. t /techfangirl

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My laptop (Toshiba Satellite) is finally getting to the point where enough is wrong with it that I'm considering a new one.

The only real complaint with it has been that the battery life was never great. Otherwise, I loved it. Anyone have any experience with another brand that might convince me to switch?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sadly, one can only deauthorize all computers once a year and I did it in January.

Ooh, how do you do that?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

No, Toshiba is one of the last remaining really solid brands out there. If you've been happy with them, I'd stay stick with it. I still miss my baby T-1000, which I suspect was the first laptop in my small town. It was fabulous, although the librarians at the local community college research library did give me the sideeye, wondering if I was allowed to have it in there.
