This works great for me at work, productivity remains an issue though :p Another thing that sticks out is the fact that RockMelt doesnt require admin permission to install.

I'm still attached to a menu bar, and controls for Copy and Paste, as keyboard shortcuts aren't physically easy for me. I do like it though; it somehow feels lighter with the streams in sidebar tabs than having a main tab open all the time. I also love the opening page where my recent sites are thumbnailed.

Loved it and invited many friends. However, I'm using Digsby and TweetDeck for my social networking and the fact that RockMelt does not have my favorite webapps - yet has prevented me from making it my default browser. Everyone has different needs and tasks and likewise bookmarking, screenshots and excerpts from web are essetial parts of my daily web routine and I'm heavily dependent on web apps for that purpose. I guess once RockMelt comes with my favorite webapps in the near future, and provided it won't bloat up out of proportion and gets as slow as a snail.. I would make RockMelt my default browser in a heartbeat! ;) I started using RockMelt almost as soon as they launched. Loved it and invited many friends.

I myself have made RockMelt my default browser. Another feature I do like is it will auto import your sites, favorites and etc. onto a fresh install of windows OS. Recently I bought myself another computer, Installed RockMelt and after installing noticed all my settings, favorites from my other computer were imported. Saved a lot of time. Thanks, Ac JohnKane,

There wasn't anything I couldn't do with that phone, and although the reception was absolute shit in SOMA where I worked everyday, I still loved it. Then this new iphone 4 software came out that a close friend of mine that has the iphone 3GS was raving about, "you have to download it". So I do, not only do I notice that there really wasn't anything beneficial on there for me, but worst of all my once favorite phone is now my enemy, I hate it. It's so slow, texting on it is now next to impossible, it freezes and shuts off all the time on its own. I hate it, I'm ready to move on to the Droid, especially hearing all the problems with the new iphone 4, why the hell would I want to pay for that! Apple I am SO dissapointed.

I totally agree with everything you say. There have been times that I want to switch over to another phone just to get rid of these problems. Unfortunately, I think we will have to weather the storm and eventually cave in and get a new iphone. I miss the old days when the phone was just a phone with a few convenient functions. I can't say I need all the apps on the phone but they are nice to have in one device. What to do, what to do. Hopefully the new iphone 4 will have all it's kinks (shitty antennae design) worked out when I'm ready to upgrade. Yes John!! I totally agree with everything you say.
