These word mash-ups are getting very popular these days, like the one above on Obama’s Acceptance Speech in Denver. It would look great on a tee-shirt though.

Plaxo on a Mac Mini Causes Screen Freeze

The short answer is… don’t install it. Spent the last couple of days trying to figure out why my Mac Mini looked to be freezing / crashing. Finally figured it out when I killed Plaxo and my machine lag disappeared. I have an older Mac Mini running an Intel Core Duo, and even the max 2 Gb ram was no match for the system+network hog.

So if your system seems to be frozen, but your mouse still moves, it might just be Plaxo 3. Plaxo used to be a much better app, but it seems so useless and annoying now. Good luck Comcast.
