In "Firefox 1.0 is out"

Also there is this potentially life-saving extension.

Ex-Safari user here. Firefox is awesome- the 'find' bar and the web-developer's toolbar are invaluable. I've found Firefox to be faster than Safari except when I'm trying to demonstrate to my wife that Firefox is better, at which times it always crashes.

Faces and races in the human brain

Golby et al. investigated European–American and African–American male volunteers who underwent functional magnetic resonance imagining while looking at pictures of men of both races. They authors found that faces of the same race as the observer elicit more activity in the fusiform gyrus in the ventral occipital cortex — a brain region known to be involved in the face recognition process (Nat Neurosci 2001, 4:845-850).
Although I can't help wondering if it's about seeing members of the SAME race as much as it is seeing faces like the ones you grew up with.
