taming the tiger again

everone tells me that tiger is the only OS to use. what do they know? is there anything which offers the power, flexibility and stability of Linux? well, apparently there is. os X. Tiger.

first, a crib. i listen to online music. i also like to read the newspaper in Bangla. unfortunately, most of the plugins which have been developed for online music or for reading regional fonts have been done so for Internet Explorer. sure, makes sense. after all, IE pretty much owns the market. but then, what about the sane minority which uses other browsers? there are some plugins for firefox, but not font readers. and the plugins make firefox unstable, because with the new generation of intel macs, firefox runs via an emulator which pretends that firefox is actually talking to a powerPC chip instead of an intel dual core chip. and no one has developed those plugins for Safari, which is the browser native to macs.
