pipelining?
Pipelining is a feature that speeds up internet connections. It's the same concept used by download managers. I can't explain why, but opening multiple connections to a server will result in a page or file loading faster. Some sites won't allow it, such as Rapidshare or Megaupload, unless you pay for their subscription, but up-to-date sites like that simply won't let you do it and therefor don't bring about any problems. Some of the older, hand-coded download sites may ban you for pipelining, however, as it puts a bigger strain on their servers.
I'm sure HTC would like to punch me in the face when I open up on the skins page, downloading them ALL at the same time, pipelined.
As for FireFox, I'm enjoying the new version except that they changed the tab mechanics a bit. Used to be when you middle-clicked to open a new tab, it popped up on the right hand side end of the list of open tabs. Now it opens next to the tab you clicked the link in. I got so used to closing the tab on the end without looking when I wanted to get rid of the newest tab that I am still closing tabs to websites I want to keep open on accident.
