For those who care, I’m trying out the latest and greatest Firefox (3.5.4pre) code named “Shiretoko” and I’m absolutely loving it. It is lightening fast, I would argue it is just as fast as Chrome which is really saying something. I can’t speak to the Windows/Mac version but the Ubuntu version has been rock solid for me and I’m loving the performance boost. Looks like it isn’t going to be released until October but I’m impatient and am glad I am because it is really awesome. Has anyone else tried it yet? Oh and for those running a Mac, they say it is also comparable to Chrome speed.

“This summer, some Boston University students thought they were attending a morning lecture by a renowned cultural anthropologist in an advertising class. But the 14 students unknowingly became stars in a new McDonald’s TV commercial for iced and hot coffees, which will begin airing nationwide on Sept. 1. The 30-second ad is similar in concept to those unscripted “Truth’’ national antitobacco ads that surprise people on the street and capture their raw reactions. McDonald’s wanted to use the stunt-style shooting concept to promote its breakfast and McCafe brands: The company used hidden cameras to get real student reactions to people showing up with a variety of McDonald’s coffee options during a long, morning class lecture.” Source: Boston.com

When I was driving back from Portland almost a month ago I took this picture using my iPhone. I stopped for a milkshake at Burger King (I love me some ice cream), but found the drink recipes fascinating so I took a picture of it. If you try them let me know if they are any good.
