ExtremeTech: Clash of the Tiny Titans
ExtremeTech reviews the two newest Shuttle offerings. Shuttle is now offering both P4- as well as AMD/NForce2-based systems, although as mentioned at the end of the article, choosing a P4 system means at least a $280US price differential.
You can think of the Shuttle XPC line as the Mini Cooper of the PC universe. Yes, there are other small form factor PCs out there, some even appearing to be near-clones of the XPC line, but none have achieved quite the cachet of Shuttle's cute aluminum cubes. While there have been other compact PC's in the past, Shuttle pioneered the idea of small form factor PCs with large PC performance.
I think it's great that Shuttle is continuing to come out with these powerful little boxes -- it means the less-powerful, slightly older barebones systems will continue to get cheaper.

Firebird (Gecko 1.5b) is way nicer in XP than the Moz.
Re: Firebird
I do use Moz for mail at work (one Outlook virus is all it took to get me off that particular wagon). I will be first in line to get the new Minotaur/Firebird combo once things stabalize a bit.
where to note broken things?

Do a refresh. Stylesheets have changed, but have same name.
I just installed Moz1.4 on my XP box -- looks the same as MozFirebird on XP. That is, everything works.
Don't know what you mean by "not being able to view" the Wired article. Clicking on the "read more" link doesn't work?
Talk about broken things here for visual stuff or here for Drupal-ly stuff. But I don't want anything to be broken :sad:
