[ Recommended Add-ons ] [ Mozilla ] [ Download Firefox 3 ]
This message came up yesterday when I opened the firefox browser.
Mozilla team wants to see Firefox in the Guinness World Record. Its kinda cool to see Firefox in the world record list. The date for that is not yet set.Right now pledge to download Firefox 3 on that day. All we have to do is download Firefox 3 on that specified date, so that we set a world record of highest downloads within a span of 24hrs. You can have a look at the people who have taken the pledge to download, a nice map showing the number of users is on the homepage.
Maybe they got this crazy idea by seeing some craziest records set. The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted on the site. So take a pledge to bring Firefox in the Guinness World Record. Firefox 3 has a nice caption "The browser that has it all" . [ Download day 2008 ] [ Get Involved ]

Gspace is a lovely firefox addon and supported on 3 platforms(Windows,Mac,Linux). It makes life easier
to store all your stuff on Gmail very easily. What do you do with a 6Gb online space, use it as a storage space..just dump all your stuff.
- Install the firefox addon : | Windows | Mac | Linux |
- Goto Tools -> Gspace . The panel will open up in a different tab (chrome://gspace/content/gspaceWindow.xul )
You are shown a 2-column panel , left side is your pc and right side is your gmail storage space. Nice thing about this addon is, it shows the total space and the free space and shows details of files with timestamp etc… Below is the capture of how the email message looks like in the inbox.
How to use: Login to your account using your gmail account and password. You can create folders and put your stuff into your account. When you upload your stuff, it shows up as shown in the screenshots. To avoid showing all the upload messages in your inbox, archive the mails sent by Gspace.

My friend had sent me this site just 2 weeks before but this was disappointing.
QuickSilverScreen had been accused of Copyright Violations and closed down. This is their message on their site.
This morning we were falsely accused of hosting copyrighted content by the Malaysian government, in result our host (located in Malaysia) asked us to shutdown the QSS main site server.
We still have full control over all our servers and are working with our host & the malaysian government to find a solution for this stupid mistake.
We expect to be up and running within a few hours/days

Last week Ubuntu released Hardy Heron. Before upgrading I was on Ubuntu 7.10. Last week, there was an update notification to upgrade to 8.04. I have also used Mac4Lin theme with Ubuntu.There is some problem with the latest kernel on Ubuntu, some crashes and Mac4Lin dosen't work nicely on Hardy Heron.
Good thing about the upgrade is , you can still select the old kernel i.e 2.6.22-14 during boot.And for Windows users, Ubuntu 8.04 has Wubi which allows users to install and uninstall Ubuntu like any other Windows OS application.
Below are some screenshots and reviews:
Some of the sites which reviewed the latest Ubuntu release.
eWeek's review:
Canonical has marshaled the best of what the open-source world has to offer in Ubuntu 8.04, a Linux-based operating system that's capable of mounting a serious challenge to Microsoft Windows on mainstream desktops and notebooks. During my tests of Ubuntu 8.04, both in its final form and in a series of test releases that led up to the official launch April 24, I've been impressed enough with the distribution to award it the eWEEK Labs Analyst's Choice designation.
If you've flirted with the idea of switching your desktop operating system to Linux but never took the leap, the time is now. This week's release of Hardy Heron, an Ubuntu release that will be supported until 2011, offers a freer, more productive space for work and play than ever before.

I han't used Rapidshare for many weeks..(no new mp3's.. just kidding.., I just use for file sharing). Some days back I went to download a video file sent by my friend and to my surprise, the image captcha of Rapidshare had changed, I put in the code thrice, but it didn't work. Then I carefully saw the page and found this.
No premium user. Please enter all letters having a 
below.
Its really surprising that rapidshare is using such weird type of image captcha..It might drive you crazy for the first time, but next time you probably won't feel that weirdness.
So, rapidshare users should see it more carefully and then put in only the letters which have cat in the letters. Its bit difficult to make out for the first time.
Below is a screenshot attached.
Ever felt irritated by using different players for different video players.. then try Miro, this will play every video format you've ever
heard of, and many you've never heard of as well.

You can subscribe to video RSS feeds, podcasts, and video blogs, download and save videos from YouTube, find TV shows, and play high definition, full screen videos. You can even download BitTorrent files directly from Miro.
Apple's new web browser for Windows was downloaded more than a million times in the first
48 hours of its release, the computer group has said.
The Windows version of Apple's Safari will compete with Microsoft's Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox and expand the 4.9% market share it enjoys.
Steve Jobs launched "the fastest browser on Windows", saying it was twice as fast as Internet Explorer. It was previously only available for Macintosh computers.
