    There certainly is hardware acceleration in Firefox on Linux, more then likely it has been disabaled because of your configueration/set-up/drivers. To turn it on go into your "abou…

    I'm guessing people still running XP are running Firefox or Chrome anyways, I'm not sure if IE8 can even render most pages on the internet. That would be like trying to surf the ne…

    Agreed with everything said here, I think the worst thing above all is that most call centers are outsourced and get paid by the amount of inbound calls taken per hour and hold tim…

    Very much so, in all the call centers I've worked in there was no "complaints department" we are just told to listen to the customer, relate with their concerns and tell them it wi…

    Defiantly not totally true, I have multiple accounts on the mac store and I've never once been asked for a credit card, I download free apps via the store at will. If that bothers …

    I will say it's mostly due to the amount of effort creating power-saving features in OSX that are not present in other OS's. It's quite interesting all the little things they do to…
