Stock prediction inaccuracy and Epiphany

And some of you are wondering: “What the hell have stock predictions to do with the browser Epiphany?”. Well, nothing at all :-) But both are interesting subjects.

In 2001, this guy recommended everyone to sell their Apple shares and also suggested people to stop buying shares. I believe this chart shows how completely wrong this guy was.

As for Epiphany, I assisted Joel and Claudio touching the subject but I didn’t paid much attention until I put my hands back on my laptop (Asus S5N but 512MB RAM don’t keep up the pace). Definitely, it has a much smaller memory footprint than Firefox. It does not have the glorious extensions (like WebDeveloper, Stock Ticker, del.icio.us, etc..) that make my day but for a casual use it does the job. And pretty well. Recommend for those lacking on memory. And it’s Free Software :-)

    i have 768MB ram on my laptop and epiphany is much faster than firefox (i think the problem isn’t RAM, but CPU). And that’s not only rendering pages but, also, running javascript. That’s extremely obvious when adding a site on del.icio.us and selecting tags. On firefox (linux) to select just one tag, it takes about 2 to 3 seconds. On epiphany, it’s instant - just like firefox for win.

    too bad epiphany doesn’t have WebDeveloper :(
