Firefox To Go

Mozilla is planning on taking their popular Firefox web browser to mobile phones. I'm all for this the ability to get Firefox on a data phone is almost enough to finally convince me to get one. Firefox is one of the most useful tools for anyone who uses a computer, period. It has so many features that the browser part is almost secondary to everything else. Now lets just hope they bring the same quality to the mobile market.

According to PCWorld Sony is working on a new model of the PSP, but this model will be a download direct based system dumping those miniDiscs called UMD's. I believe this is bad while being able to get games from the web is not inherently bad, making it the only option is stupid seeing as there are still people who cannot get high-speed internet where they live at. It seems to me to be a moronic idea to cut up your possible customers just so that you can embrace the in technology when you could build your system to download and take discs, this is just stupid.

XP coming to an end.

For those of you do not yet know Microsoft support for the popular operating system will end on June 30, 2009 according to PCWorld.com. This move is probably not the best for people; seeing has how Vista slows down computers like concrete in your car motor, and Windows 7 has yet to be released.

Banned from I-Phone

I-Phone has banned some apps from use on I-Phones for various reasons. Though the question I have is why seeing has some of the apps had very important functions. The story can be found here at PCWorld.

Congratulations to the Armed Forces.

Let's congratulate the navy seals on a job well done in freeing the captain of the hijacked ship in Somalia. Three pirates are dead and one in custody today, and the captain of the ill-fated ship is headed home.

Confiker

According to PCWorld the Conficker virus is not done yet, however it's not doomsday so don't panic. The Conficker virus is most likely designed to steal information by creating a botnet out infected computers and servers. The recommended action to protect yourself is to update your computer and antivirus program(s).

Internet Explorer 8 faster than Firefox 3.0.7?????

According to PCWorld Internet Explorer 8 is faster than Firefox 3.0.7 (which is the latest non-beta version of Firefox). PCWorld done a scientific test of Internet Explorer 8 (which I'm pretty sure is still in beta) versus an array of other browsers, the result was that IE8 beat out Firefox3 by less than a second onmost pages and by a second on one English-language Wikipedia page. This is good news for those of you who use IE as for me though I intend to stay with Firefox after all unlike IE I can customize my Firefox browser to fit my needs and personality, while Explorer is a cookie cutter one size fits all program which has been obsolete ever since it came out.
