Brad-x switched from Safari to Firefox and tells why. I had quite similar experiences in switching from Omniweb to Firefox. In Finland, about half of web surfers use Firefox, so most local web sites work with it, which is not quite so with webkit-based browsers like Omniweb and Safari. FoxMarks and 1Password made the transition to Firefox quite painless. Here are three add-ons which I found useful: Adblock Plus (get rid of all ads), Fission (Safari-like progress bar) and Quartz PDF Plugin (view pdf-files in browser). I also like the "wiki auto-discovery button".

Keen on photography -- Comment()
During the summer vacation, I have taken over 2500 photos. Of course, only a small portion have been successful and worth preserving, but still I have over 500 new photos in my iPhoto library. I have also been quite keen on posting to my photoblog, which now contains several dozen entries. And I have also published over 200 photos at Flickr.com, which seems to be a quite nice platform for organizing publicly available photos. I'm still thinking about getting a new camera. The buying fever comes and goes. But I have been able to keep from buying a new camera yet. However, manufacturers are now starting to announce their new cameras, and some of those are tempting. What I need is pocketable, has manual control, and good low-light capabilities. Is there yet such a thing?
