One of the reasons I like OS X is the consistent user interface. Apple has well established guidelines that lay out how an application should look and feel, and for the most part developers adhere to this. And those who don't are usually mocked....

So you can imagine how excited I was when the Firefox team announced that they would be releasing operating system targeted themes for Firefox 3. Under Windows XP, it would have XP-like styling, Firefox for Vista takes cues from native Vista apps, and on a Mac, Firefox 3 looks like it belongs:

Like most Drupal hackers, I love to hate jQuery. The primary reason for this is that the version of jQuery included in Drupal core is always several versions behind where it should be. Unfortunately updating it is a serious undertaking, usually reserved for the next Drupal version. To get us by between releases, there's a module called jQuery update. It's pretty rad. It replaces the core jQuery dependencies with a newer jQuery version. It has one caveat though:

The tricky step with this module is that you will need to *replace* the jquery.js file in core with the jquery.js file included in the jquery_update directory...

In Drupal, messing with core files is poor form. Not only does it mess up the upgrade path, it causes all sorts of discontent in a multisite environment. And I spend most of my time in a multisite environment.
