I decided to give Firefox RC3 a try yesterday since, at worst, it would be replaced by the final version today. Put simply, this upgrade is phenominal. Starting at it’s most obvious, the appearence of the browser has been revised and upgrades so it is not only more platform-integrated but also more elegant. There are seperate looks for Windows Vista, XP, and Apple/Mac/Leopard/Panther/Tiger/whatever and they really look fantastic.
The performance on the browser is unbelieveable. It is noticably faster than Firefox 2 even from casual use. Additionally, it’s free… in case you didn’t know. If you are viewing this blog on anything other than Firefox you owe it to yourself to go get it. It’s faster than IE, does more than Safari, and is better than Opera. Go get it. Now.
Tonight the Celtics ball up against Kobe and Co. in the Garden. It’s Game 6 and it’s back in Boston. The complete Vegas odds aren’t up yet but the Lakers look to be favored by ten. Wow.
Either way, it should be a good game tonight. I think Pierce and KG will both step up and shut this out. Although I wouldn’t rule out one of the subs having a big night too. Jackie Mac wrote a nice piece about Doc Rivers relationship with his father. It’s certainly worth a read. In it, she mentions that it would have been nice to win the championship on Sunday (since it was Father’s Day). However, it could mean even more if they win tonight as today is when Grady Rivers would have turned 77.
Best of luck to both teams tonight and especially to Doc Rivers. He is a fantastic individual and a class act. In an age of me-first basketball, he bring a little bit of old-fashioned discipline to his players. Well done.
