Macfixit thinks you're an idiot for using PithHelmet
#1
I'm under the impression that macfixit's quality has been on a gentle slide for a long time, but this is a new low... They actually insulted their readership...

***
Just today we received this email:

Dear Sirs:

Safari 2.0.4 freezes on Mac OS X 10.4.10 while surfing Internet. Console says:

2007-07-06 08:07:28.023 Console[1117] *** -[NSBundle load]: Error loading code /Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler/Menu Extra Enabler.bundle/Contents/MacOS/Menu Extra Enabler for bundle /Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler/Menu Extra Enabler.bundle, error code 2 (link edit error code 0, error number 0 ())

I am puzzled.

Well, stop being puzzled and try the advice we have given again and again. Stop using Input Managers. Just stop it! Locate your InputManagers folders (in your user Library directory and in the top-level /Library directory), empty them, and restart the computer. Yes, you'll lose some cute customization, but you'll gain a computer that operates with more of the stability and predictability that you expect from Mac OS X.

In the article, they point to a list of such software (http://db.tidbits.com/article/08430) and PithHelmet is the most popular on that list...

See the whole thing on macfixit.com

Just reporting the facts... I don't use safari or pithhelmet or any of the other apps mentioned.
