Adobe Reader
I've been wondering recently what's the point to have preinstalled Adobe Reader in Nokia N70 smartphone? I tried to read pdf-book and immediately got tired of going left and right six times per line. I guess it's one of those useless features that makes a business device.

Firefox 2.0
I switched to Firefox 2.0 recently. Seems like without any bad consequences. Of course, all the plug-ins didn't work but the most essential ones (Tab Mix, Adblock) worked just fine. Finally some new features were introduced that I felt lack of in previous versions, especially the possibility to edit the search engines. Spell checking is quite handy also.
But still it's quite annoying that hot keys don't work in non-Latin layouts. If I need to copy a bunch of text while typing in Russian I have to press Ctrl+Shift to switch the layout, then Ctrl+С to copy, Ctrl+V to paste and finally Ctrl+Shift to continue typing. Maybe I should teach myself to use Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins as it seems like this bug is never gonna be fixed.

Cemetery
It was a nice walk to the cemetery. Modern gravestones look exactly the same, nothing individual, but those old metal crosses from the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th centruy look very impressive. It was creepy to walk near fresh graves, flowers on which were not even covered with snow, but in general it was quite calming.
