Chrome usage surpasses Safari. Really?

Net Applications bases its statistics on the browsers used by some 160 million visitors to a network of Web sites that subscribe to the company’s services
Not that I don’t like Chrome (because I do; it’s my main browser), but I’d be curious to know what this ‘network of Web sites’ is. I have a feeling that it might be a lot of geek sites (Mashable, Digg, Reddit, Endgadget), not really reflecting the general population.
Tablet? Maybe

An Affordable $199 Tablet for Everyone — And It’s Not From Apple
Well, obviously, if it’s affordable, it’s not from Apple. BUT: These things, if they turn out to be real, seem really cool and I could really see myself owning one (and I’m not one to buy a lot of gadgets). Given Apple’s past with releasing really cool products, it will be interesting to see what they come up with at the end of the month (if they do announce one)
Great quote from Alexander Pope

I just read this in High Exposure (David Breashears):
A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

I know Windows is awful. Everyone knows Windows is awful. Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it’s there, and there’s nothing you can do about it. OK, OK: I know other operating systems are available. But their advocates seem even creepier, snootier and more insistent than Mac owners. The harder they try to convince me, the more I’m repelled. To them, I’m a sheep. And they’re right. I’m a helpless, stupid, lazy sheep. I’m also a masochist. And that’s why I continue to use Windows – horrible Windows – even though I hate every second of it. It’s grim, it’s slow, everything’s badly designed and nothing really works properly: using Windows is like living in a communist bloc nation circa 1981. And I wouldn’t change it for the world, because I’m an abject bloody idiot and I hate myself, and this is what I deserve: to be sentenced to Windows for life.
