Don't get me wrong but those who propose monthly and weekly updates for ubuntu, facebook and firefox needs to get a gurrlfriend, kitteh and puppy and a good hobby or maybe pr0n or anything that keeps them away from writing broken code and tempts them to release new version without adding new features.  >:(

I have just switched to Chrome. Thunderbird also seems to follow the same trend: yesterday just got to version 7 but there is nothing changed which justifies the major digit incrementation.
