I found this slow motion video via Geekologie and felt compelled to share it.
Forgetting the obvious PSA factor, its pretty cool to watch. I especially like the water bottle.
If you look at today’s standings, China is ahead of everyone else… assuming you believe that only gold medals count for the test of Olympic superiority. And if you visit the official website (http://ping.fm/Puqe8), you see they are listed first.
But if you follow NBC in the US, you’ll see they rank each country by the total number of medals one regardless of color. By that standard, the US is ahead. You can see their website here: http://ping.fm/xc768
So what is it? Is it better to have more medals of lesser standing or more gold medals but not more medals overall?
A shout out to all the developers out there… I need some advice on how to report software bugs for beta software.
I’m a huge fan of WebKit - the HTML rendering engine of Safari. I’ve been using the nightly builds for some time. Every now and then, WebKit crashes and, in the past, I’ve just relaunched. But the crashes are happening more often and, for a while I thought of going back to Firefox. Its just that Firefox renders so much more slowly than WebKit does and I can’t take that; sure FF3 is good. But you’d be amazed at how much faster WebKit is to Mozilla’s Gecko on my Mac. So instead of “quiting” and going back to Firefox, I want to contribute to the WebKit community and submit crash reports.
But I am no developer. I do work with them - and understand, on a conceptual level, what is helpful when reporting bugs. But, again, I’ve never generated a crash dump or even log file; I don’t know if I can say I know how to or even what the differences between the two are. But I know that I can, somehow, help the development team make WebKit into one of the best browsers for KDE and Aqua interfaces. I just need to know how to do this.
So I ask all you developers out there… how do I go about contributing to the WebKit community and offer real reports and submit bugs that are good enough to be accepted and reviewed? Any thoughts left in the comments would be greatly appreciated. Or, you can email me at this address: soitscometothis [at] soitscometothis.com
