been a chrome fan since chrome came out. I liked FF but habit kept me on chrome.. until they announced the upcoming extension updates, combined with the youtube nonsense, and the fact that ublock works better with firefox than chrome.. they finally pushed me out. And im perfectly happy with firefox.

One of the things that bugs me a bit, google was the one who first started the entire, lets get rid of the annoying ads thing. The net was getting a bit nuts with noisy and moving ads and google came out and did the text ad thing. I tend to give them exceptions in my ad blockers because i only want to block that which annoys me. So instead of keeping me on their product while making exceptions for their ads, they pushed me to another product.

for average weight Im sure and on flat terrain. The median weight in japan is 135lbs, in the us its 185. Thats 30% bigger. and i doubt it will get you up a san fran hill. and those little wheels will feel every little hole and not give you a ton of traction for them hills.

it IS cool and will be useful to a lot of folks and they will probably improve it and have stronger models. But i think for a lot of folks, it will be disappointing. Now getting around the office, youd be badass.
