Well I've been having issues for a while now. Not being able to watch video's properly and loading pages. I thought it was my internet being dicky but seems real odd when you have 16mg broadband. So I was trying to watch some youtube stuff just now and it was doing that thing again where the audio is fine but the video is clipping and I'm basically watching a slideshow. lol
I turned on Safari to check where it was firefox and behold... safari is running everything instantaneously. I don't have to wait for a page to load or a video just BAM its there. So I've purged firefox, this means I've lost all my bookmarks and research notes on there but it doesn't matter I guess.
I think I know what's happened as well. Daniel... sometimes when he's to lazy to turn his PC on he turns my MAC on and goes surfing. (MAC loads in 5 seconds from turn on because its just that sexy) I have to keep telling him to stop that because the stuff he does on here is questionable. I don't mean porn but but he spend his time on websites thats give you viruses and although this is a MAC and pretty much nothing can touch it some of the sites he's been on have caused system crashes. Mostly due to a exe files trying to open on repeat and the MAC saying "I can't read that!" Then the exe says "Yes you can let me infect you!"
Anywho, about a month ago he popped on my MAC whistle I was out and I came home to find it on standby and his websites still open. He'd been on those bloody game review sites again. Gamespot one of the most notorious virus givers (and corporation bullshit talking) on the web. Gamespot froze firefox then whatever it transferred locked me out of my own system. Took me about an hour to sort it out and all the time I was yelling at Daniel for touching my MAC. Seriously he has no idea what he's doing with such an expensive piece of equipment.
So yeah, firefox has been behaving so odd since then. I purged all the files and stuff it saves but that only mildly alleviated the problem so its gone now.
I really need to download a new version, Safari is annoying me already. I'm not sure how to turn my auto-correct down on it so its trying to re-word my sentences and keeps flashing grammar mistakes to me I don't understand.
