I use FF for tabbed browsing and the bookmarks toolbar. Two of the best features ever.

The only thing I don't like about FF is it takes about 16 seconds just to load the initial window, which sucks compared to IE at around 4 seconds.

Opera is almost instantaneous.

PFFFt....sure, if you have that kind of system. It takes "My Pictures" as long to load as IE on my system. :roll:

P4, 1.6GHz, 400 bus. Not super fast but not an old piece of junk. :)

(It does take forever to view some of my larger folders.)

But from what it says, Google doesn't own it yet, does it?

Interesting that they would do that just before selling the company...Google must have asked them of this in the contract.

I don't think they own it yet, no.

Actually this was in response to the Japanese media:
YouTube.com removed 29,549 video files from its popular Web site in Japan after receiving a demand from a group of Japanese media companies over copyright infringement, an industry group said on Friday.

(Shame on me for not quoting in my last post - I'm always the one grumbling when people don't.) Anyway, maybe this just means that it's inevitable.
