I can't see comments from my phone anymore. Thanks, Time, for diverting me to a place that's LESS useful. Now I know why there's no Suckolympics for Web Dev. Time would have it sewn up.

Hence, in Safari all the TIME blog pages go all bouncy while loading. 2) The BSG digs got old and played out a lot time ago, imo. 3) Really, 4 people to do what James Poniewozik does over on <i>Tuned In</i> all by his lonesome?

Switching between the mac at home and windows at work began taking up too much time. Also, I like being able to fix and upgrade my own hardware which is much easier with a pc. Finally, I hate AT&T, so that settles that. I was a mac guy throughout school but switched to windows once I was in the workforce.

It doesn't happen all the time, and I'm pretty sure it only happens when I'm at work, but some days, whenever I load a blog page, Firefox hangs for ~10 seconds. Long enough to bother me, but not quite long enough to inspire me to actually do work. (ABP is running just fine, though, so I'm wondering if there's something screwed up with Wordpress that doesn't like the firewall at work or something.) On topic: I'm a Windows guy. I've always been too lazy to play around with the various forms of Linux and other OS's. I was house sitting for a friend who has a Mac, and it took me 10 minutes to find the power button (true story: they've got one of the 22 or 23" Mac-in-the-screen beasts, and the power button is in the middle of the back... are people just not supposed to turn their Macs off, or are they supposed to have the room built into their setup to be able to reach around and turn it on?). So Peter, when you're playing WoW, and someone says something funny in gchat, and someone else responds, "HA!", do you respond? Does anyone else have the odd page hang-ups in Firefox?

I come for the personal perspective and the humor and stay for the BSG digs in the comments. Good work harassing Lev, guys. I've been reading for a while, but virtually never comment.

(I wait for the first 'bounce' then hit cancel. That usually allows the comments to load. It's still annoying enough that I shun other Time sites, but a bit quicker.) The webmonkeys seem to have been concentrating on the mobile version, which is much better. Maybe Time is trying to sell iPhones? Oh Gods yes! (I wait for the first 'bounce' then hit cancel.

I think its caused by the ads and doesn't happen when using a PC. Ooo, maybe Peter can get the TIME webmonkeys to fix the bouncy page load when viewing these TIME blogs on a mac using safari.
