Many music artists such as DJs and design artists like to use Macbooks for their work? Why do they prefer Macbooks over (for example) a Dell when the Dell is much cheaper and can be more easily upgradeable at a cheaper cost.<br> <br> I have heard that Macs can load certain software at a faster speed such as Photoshop (3-5 seconds faster probably) but that still doesn't justify a $200-$300 difference. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.104451 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 16:20:19 -0800 apple art artists macbooks macs music resolved rintako http://ask.metafilter.com/91258/Why%2Ddoes%2DFirefox%2Dhate%2Dhearts Firefox refuses to show the heart symbol (♥) correctly. It shows up as a straight, vertical line instead. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Whenever I'm browsing Facebook (or other websites that use the ♥ symbol, but it most frequently appears on Facebook), Firefox refuses to display the symbol correctly. It works fine in Safari. I have a Macbook with OSX 10.5, and Firefox 2.0.0.14 (should be the most recent version -- I just updated today). Is there anything I can do to make this character display properly? Its a minor annoyance, and I have at times debated whether I really want to see ♥s wherever one chooses to put them, but I figure its better than seeing a screen full of lines. <br> <br> My friend also has a MacBook, using the same version of Firefox, and also has this problem. What gives? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.91258 Tue, 13 May 2008 00:12:13 -0800 Firefox Macbooks text unicode elisabethjw
