Firefox 3.1 (from b2) supports Mac laptop “multitouch” gestures. Firefox brings the sexiness now for sure – the three-finger back/forward swipe is just so natural. Additional support includes pinch-to-zoom, and the rotate photo gesture to flip tabs.

Movie Review: Burn After Reading
Burn After Reading: Black-as-pitch comedy spoof of the spy thriller genre from the Coen brothers, starring Pitt, Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton and J. K.

Definitely not one for the kids though, particularly with Malkovich in fine form as a swearing alcoholic ex-C.I.A. analyst at the core of the hijinks. ★★★★
