Bring Your Mug

A pair of Boston-area men are campaigning to replace paper cups with mugs at coffee shops. It makes sense if you’re a frequent coffee drinker: bring a mug every day instead of throwing away a paper cup daily.

Navigator Mortuus Est

Today AOl has killed Netscape Navigator. I remember using Mosaic on Solaris and Macs, and when Navigator came out I thought it was just a ripoff of Mosaic (which is was—in fact, IIRC the first version was called Mosaic…). But then it became extremely popular, setting several records (including buggiest software ever).

The best thing Netscape ever did was free its code, giving us Firefox. The rest is…well, it happened: that’s the best which can be said for it.
