From Cate – Thank you:

• Firefox CPU Usage
• Problematic Extensions

Gmail made some really drastic changes about the same time FF 2.0.0.9 was released, and THAT is causing people terrible problems in FF. Any extensions that have to do with alerting to or managing GMail are probably thrashing, and that’s almost never a good thing.

From the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer –

Here are some Web resources for stopping gossip – and an argument that some kinds of gossip are healthy.

• Stop gossip
• Old gossip
• Positive gossip
• Mobbing
• Gossip cartoons
