And I absolutely DETEST sites and plugins that will only work with Firefox. Firefox may have been the darling of the opensource-the-damn-browser enthusiasts back in the day but its S.L.O.W, outdated and paleolithic compared to the blisteringly fast and spiffy chrome. I refuse to let some hideous web-application bully me into installing what I believe is a far inferior browser than Chrome.
I hope whoever developed the non-chrome compatible web presentation software from the company called Webex rots in slow browser world for their atrocious browser-discrimination crimes. I am also disappointed that the National Cancer Institute (NCI) uses this freak Webex company for their webinar. Hate you both for making me suffer with Firefox yesterday and today, for having to deal with the zillion yucky registry entries your dear plugin and Firefox have left on my system. My clean system feels so polluted, no thanks to you, NCI and Webex. UGH.

Healthcare: Expensive =/= EffectiveCategory: the odes
Just read this critical, well-written and well-researched piece on why healthcare in this country is so expensive and yet so ineffective and wasteful: (pdf version of the report).
Healthcare might well be the biggest bureaucratic easy money-making scheme in the US - if you are on the right side of the bed. It's a pity that socialistic medicine is mocked and labeled with such derision by the section of the population that prides itself on understanding fiscal independence so well. Capitalistic healthcare is an oxymoron and always will be.

Perfect breakfastCategory: eating in
... which I can't have right now. :/
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Toasted almonds
- Toasted steel-cut uncooked crispy oats
- Dried figs
- Slices of granny smith
- Fresh blueberries
- Fresh strawberry slices
- All dunked in super cold vanilla sunrich soymilk.
Instead I just had granny smiths and carrots tossed in lemon juice, salt and pepper with kiwis. Because I don't have any of the other "perfect breakfast" ingredients at home.

Shaken but not StirredCategory: art
I find that firefox stock is not bad at all. Its once you add all those non-default plugins that problems start to happen. There is no quality control on extensions in any browser.
FYI - The reason lots of these don't work on Chrome yet, I've read, is b/c Google Chrome doesn't have full Java support yet. (I don't know exactly what it needs, but that's what I found when I checked.)
OVerall, WebEx is kinda crappy and overpriced for what you get.
Personally, I prefer Citrix's GoToMeeting, which is much less expensive and has worked great for me for years.
GoToMeeting will launch from Chrome on PC (it downloads a little executable), but they recommedn Firefox for the Java support.
GoToMeeting won't work with Chrome on the Mac just yet, but they say it's on it's way. It works from Safari, so that's what I use on Mac.
