But, now, I’ve been influenced by LifeHacker, 43Folders, and GTD, and it’s all about trying to minimize distractions. Do I really need have my contact list of IM buddies and know exactly when they log on and off, taking up precious screen real estate? …
Just when I was about to go back to Safari because of the speed of the program loading as well as the load time of different sites, there’s an optimized Firefox 2.0 for Intel Macs (and even other Macs).

Finally, it’s here! I’ve been waiting for this too long, following EVERY (I mean EVERY) rumor of it’s release.

Steve Jobs‘ keynote will be tomorrow morning, so expect to hear some new news about iPods, Powerbooks/iBooks (Intel-based), and other programs.
