That’s right. Now they’re FLYING.
Link for those that keep up with this stuff.
My 2 cents: It looks and feels better a LOT more than beta 2. Looks like the final version 3 is going to be awesome.

I don’t know why this is happening recently (I think it started yesterday), but FireFox 3 Beta 2 seems to choke up with HTTPS.
Looking at Bugzilla (Which, by the way, is inaccessible using my version of beta…), there seems to be a few issues with HTTPS. But nothing in particular to what I was looking at.
After trying updating within the program itself (which failed), and looking for a manual update, it seems like I still have the most recent version of the beta. But then, all of a sudden, the https started to work again. Even though it was the same exact version.
I’m beginning to think all of this was in my mind.
How the heck am I going to know how the blog is doing…
Trying to connect to https://, fails. I went to google.com/analytics, and the login box doesn’t appear.
Blah.
You know what, I think it has to do with the browser. The same thing happened with panel.dreamhost.com. I’m unsure as to why the heck something like this would happen, but I’ll be on the lookout.
Robots are awesome. Giant Robots are awesomer.
Seriously, though. Are we supposed to be afraid of the huge building destroying robot? What does the city signify, IE users? And what’s the deal with the UFO’s in the background?
Am I reading too much into it? Highly likely. But it’s much more snappier. MUCH more snappier. John Resig thinks so.
And snazzier too… one example is when Firefox asks you if it should remember your password. No longer is it a separate dialog box which would disrupt the flow between pages, but instead it’s a much more muted slidedown-style dialog row of text. I don’t know what you call it, but it’s awesome. I’m pretty sure this was done before in IE (Insistent IE ActiveX warnings and others), but it’s a welcomed changed here.
And something with the text… is it anti-aliased? It just feels more softer than usual. I guess I should consult the changelogs.
When I thought about 3rd party applications for the iPhone, I didn’t think that it would require me to learn Cocoa.
I thought… why not web applications? Heck, it’s got a browser built in.
I’m happier now that Jobs has come out and said it. Although, for some, this might seem like a copout solution. However, I’m happy that things are, once again, moving towards the web.
The only thing missing is somehow using the power of the multi-touch screen… That sucker seems locked down… Maybe somehow somebody somewhere could hack that.
And here comes the feeds about today’s Stevenote… ugh.
Oh my goodness, apple.com looks more lickable…
Oh, and go download the Safari Beta. Because… my love for Firefox is dwindling… and I’m trying to kill my dependence on interface add-ons. More on that, later.
