Boy, the FF updates sure are few and far between compared to the 2.0 days. Have all the fun ideas been exhausted? I think my #1 beef with FF to this day is still bookmark management. Other than that, browser are just boring. :)
Comment - Microsoft's Windows 7 House Party prep video is a real party pooper

It will be classy! Then again, anyone who ignores that video should be able to pull off something more interesting than what MS Marketing had in mind. I've been very nervous about Win7 marketing because I think it's the greatest OS ever written and sold by the worst marketers ever assembled. 1st ad I saw was that little girl trying to make Windows look easy. But the editing of the video didn't show anyone that it was easy and the content made it look like Win7 would be aimed at kids. They had a similar ad some months ago that was very effective. I really want for them not to blow this one.

Getting back to the idea of Win7 parties. They'll be successful simply because MS won't have content control. I know I'm supposed to be shipped some media to help. I won't know if it'll have any value. It's pretty clear to anyone holding a party that you're not bound to do anything by the book and that's why these should go well.

MS Marketing - an oxymoron. I was accepted for a party and I have no intention of actually using any of this. I just want the free Win7. I will have a party and will talk about Win7 and may even give a free copy to show someone. But I'm guessing good wine and music will take center stage.

Regarding the looking for a lady with a bun: I would love for Bing\Google to let me upload an image and tell me who the hell it is. Or ID an MP3 for me. Some things you just can't type. Luckily, there's Shazam for my G1.
