The only time I went to Philadelphia was being in their airport, and I remember it being god-awful. That was ten years ago, of course, so maybe things have changed.

The airport is not that bad, but our public transit system SEPTA is a different story...

The browser wars continue.  Firefox just put out version 13 today, and Chrome recently sent version 19 to the public.  It's getting to the point that we might as well can the version numbers or start over. :P

I've went back in Internet Explorer 9. I cannot stand the other browsers anymore. Google Chrome and Firefox won't load any videos for me and all flash refuses to load. Quite frustrating see how they're all supposed to be superior to internet explorer (so some say).

Chrome works very well for me. (for the most part) I only use IE9 as a Plan B backup.

I still use Firefox, because it appears to be the least bad graphical browser of those I have tried, though I use it with the Pentadactyl extension, which makes it behave similar to the text editor Vim. It is also one of the few GUI applications I still use, The GIMP, MPlayer (when playing a video), and feh (image viewer) being some of the others.

I would use a text browser such as ELinks or w3m regularly, but many Web sites are text browser–hostile. >_<

Speaking of which, I hate how unstable Safari has become since iOS 5. It is crashing all the time. I was expecting the last few updates to fix it, but it's still slow and unstable.

I was thinking about Madden NFL 13, but if you have to use Microsoft/XBOX SmartGlass to play it, I'll stick with Madden 12 until they stop pushing roster updates to it.

And I alternate between Firefox and IE. :P

I'm also old-school and still have IE 8.  I can't stand the new version. :sick:
