via ecmanaut by Johan Sundström on February 22, 2008
For web development, a laptop with a case fan that starts screaming like a jet engine when your cpu load skyrockets is sometimes a Really Good Thing, since it gives you cues to what happens in your browser, whether you set out do do profiling or not when, bad enough things happen.

via Waxy.org Links by (author unknown) on June 17, 2008

Independent filmmakers followed the Mozilla team from March 1998 to April 1999, as they worked to open Netscape Communicator's source code to the world, in a last-ditch effort to...
