It's bad but...
I'm reminded of the South Park episodes featuring BP from the most recent series.

No Jobs, Schmidt deleted: Microsoft can't fail, can it?

Probably not a huge issue
I really don't think that Eric Schmidt leaving Google and a loss of Steve Jobs will really hurt either Apple or Google. Eric Schmidt was already sharing quite a bit of power with with Sergey Brin and Larry Page. As for Steve Jobs, well, while he's great with marketing, Apple will likely still have an excellent marketing department, and their industrial design likely won't suffer seeing as how John Ives is the one who oversees that anyway. The only thing Jobs being gone MAY induce is some opening of up its platforms (although I still won't hold my breath on that).
Mozilla reaches for almost perfect 10 with latest Firefox 4 beta

Firefox 4 isn't bad
I really like the changes that Mozilla made to Firefox, and I've had the betas of FF4 installed since Beta 2 or 3. There have been loads of problems, but I'm glad to see they've been making consistent improvements each release. Now that the vast majority of problems have been ironed out, I would definitely switch to it over 3.6.x. It tends to perform its functions better than earlier versions, and is definitely faster at loading javascript-laden pages than its predecessor.
Also, as far as adblocking is concerned, Firefox just does it better than Chrome (I can't make comment on Opera as I don't use it). Chrome's version of Adblock Plus seems to miss blocking quite a few things that Firefox's version blocks with ease.
