Chris: I don't think it's fare to criticize Brandon, it's not like he is the one demanding that you solve catpchas for creating accounts and whatever other things you need to do to be productive. He's offering the solution to a problem that currently has no other solution for the Mac. If you can develop one for free that provides access to captchas, I'm sure people will migrate to it if it's as usable. Or, you could run boot camp on your mac, install firefox and webvisum, and off you go. I think you're jumping way ahead of yourself here, and your response of not offering to help others just because they disagree with you is quite childish. If you're going to respectfully agree to disagree, such an action would certainly not be consistent with that.
