I can watch Scrubs from Hulu on my work machine.  If I go to ABC and try it, it prompts me to install the plugin.

PatsNats, it looks like the plugin they use is called "Move" and I don't believe it supports Chrome on Windows either if I read the bug report right.


Okay, so I just watch abc shows on Firefox then. Got it, thanks.

Another quick q: how does this RSS stuff work? I signed up for jmad's but how do I access it?

Are you using google reader on the web or do you have a stand alone reader?

I can't recommend NetNewsWire highly enough, and it syncs to Google Reader.

If it's the same plugin, yes.

Zip should be natively supported.

How exactly did you subscribe?  What if you go to www.google.com/reader ?  Is it there?

Seems like a rather insignificant release to me.  I upgraded and the only difference I can notice is that my defauly scroll speed has been mucked with.

I'm more interested to see what happens with 3.7 and the new UI.

New tabs when clicking with the middle scroll wheel to open a page in a new tab appear directly to the right of the home tab instead of at the very far right of all tabs.  I don't like that.

True, I did notice that.  I'm indifferent, but I'm pretty sure you can set it back to the "old" way either in prefs or about:config.

It's not in the options.  I don't know if it is in about:config or even which value to change or look for if it was there.  I filtered for "tab" but I didn't see anything that looked like it might be it.

is there a way to make it so that when i open a new tab in chrome, it goes to the new tab rather than keep me at the old page? firefox did it.

Price comparison among all the various mp3 stores

A free 2GB mp3 locker - you can store 2GB of your mp3s online, and stream them, even on Wii or PS3. Interesting, haven't tried it yet.

Ahh, it's PS3 and Wii, I misread and thought PS3 and 360.  It also works on the iPhone.  Leads me to believe it is just a straight streaming thing instead of the flash based player lala has.  That's why it works for PS3, Wii, and iPhone, all have a browser where the 360 does not.
