Hey Kabren,
I’m using Firefox 2 beta 5 as it’s the default browser for Ubuntu 8.04 (apparently Ubuntu considers the bet5 as very stable for the next 3 years). I’m not so impresed yet by the app. I still found more drawbacks than advantages.
About the bookmark features, ok, starring an URL put it in a hidden folder. Folder you can’t access directly from the bookmark menu. You have first to sort all starred URL.
A good thing : typing some words in the url area displays a list of sites you went in the past. I find it way better now.
A strange behavior : click on the RSS icon, displays aa list of feed, but subscribing just displays the feed in FF3…. I still don’t find where I subscribed to the file.
A good point : buttons and input in web forms are looking finally good !
iPhone will be able in Switzerland officially too… but there are already a lot of iphones circulating
I’m wondering how services will be here. I mean :
- In France, iphone are sold by Orange.
- In Geneva and around, you have a lot of french people and their iphone.
- Swisscom will be distributing the new iPhone… but not Orange Swiss.
Question : if a french iphone got broken, the european warranty is used. So Orange Swiss should take care of a french iPhone ? For any other devices the warranty is valid across Europe…
I’m still not on Twitter, and I’m glad I’m still not yet after these spam
(yeah, viva Pownce and Jaiku 
).Advertising for free (no cost) product or service are ok, but no paid product.
