Mozilla has announced the availability of the first Firefox 3.1 beta release, an important development milestone for the popular open source web browser. Mozilla aims to make Firefox 3.1 a strong incremental improvement with user interface enhancements, new features, and increased support for emerging web standards. The new beta release includes a modest handful of noteworthy changes that improve

We are on the eve of Google announcing their search results for their 3Q. Google has become a major force in discovery and advertising by virtue of their ability to surface the closest result relevant to a user across the broadest set of queries on the Internet. Dozens of start-ups and certainly a few large players have tried to de-throne Google’s supremacy, but few have been successful. The

Yes, I am a PC game freak. My friends already know this about me. I’ve gotten more people to try StarCraft, and Diablo than any other game I play. Since all the news about Diablo III being in the works, a lot of us have started playing Diablo II, Lord of Destruction (The expansion) again, as a kind of warm up for the new and improved Diablo III. There is also a new StarCraft due out, so I imagine

Most people think of downloading music as an illegal act in every form. This assumption by the uneducated is very wrong in a lot of cases. One way for instance to get just about any song you want for free on your computer is YouTube. You can download all the YouTube videos your heart desires legally and for free directly from where you watch them.No, there isn’t a “Free Download” button

The launch of the iPhone in Australia a few weeks ago gave Australians a new ebook reading option. I’ve been a bit wary of people claiming that reading on a mobile is going to be big. I have a Blackberry and I just couldn’t imagine reading a book on it. I know it’s huge in Japan but a lot of things are big in Japan (like chicken cartilage and Pachinko) which never make it beyond the shores of the

Several ex-Google engineers have developed a search engine to compete with Google. Cuil pronounced “Cool” says that it will be able to index the web faster with more results. Cuil gives results…and I’m not really that impressed yet (I searched for the school and it showed a thumbnail of some guy brushing his teeth). I don’t know what I did before Google, but it has saved me a ton of time.

Tired of backing up your iPhone everytime you sync your music/vids? Backup Disabler works by setting a hidden iTunes preference to turn off syncing.The balance between backing up that your latest saved game or text messages and waiting an hour for your phone to sync is a delicate one. Now, you can easily sync without waiting for the backups, and just as easily re-enable them whenever you like.

*Sigh* Why do I subject myself to this stuff? I mean, I know that so far I have enjoyed one of these “parody” films, Not Another Teen Movie. Part of what made that one work is that it stuck to it’s premise. It mocked the teen movie genre and rarely strayed from it. The most recent efforts were Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans.They were terrible. Epic Movie, first off, completely missed it’s most

Love vs Heartbreaks. In my opinion, we all have to go through love and heartbreak in order to grow as a person; in order to figure out what we want and what we don’t want. Obviously, you first need love in order to experience heartbreak. Or… you need to experience lust. I guess maybe I should have called this Love vs Lust vs Heartbreaks. But, for now we’ll just say lust and love are the same

I watched “Girl Interrupted” today. Decent film….kind of a cross between Slaughterhouse 5, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and Little Women. Two things stood out to me:1.

I was never a fan of the Batman character. A very wealthy man playing superhero with gadgets only he can afford, to foil crooks from money he obviously doesn’t lack. I preferred perpetually broke Spiderman. After hearing the phenomenal reviews and ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, I got curious. Just how well written can a bombastic summer action blockbuster be? I tend to prefer smaller indy

I was quite shocked today when I stumbled across this recent quote from Christian Bale:“I do think there is room for an 18-rated Batman. It’s a little bit tricky to broach the sex aspect of the story when you want kids to come see it as well. I mean, I think it would be very interesting to do a 12 version and an 18 version - two different cuts.” Boy-o-boy does that get me thinking.I guess if Bale

A few days ago, the LA Times published a collection of articles titled “What’s making us fat?” in which they briefly summarize each of the latest fads…I mean “theories”…about why Americans, specifically those living in the US, have become more and more obese in the past 30 years.The article left out one important theory–mine. As the title of this post indicates, my theory is that the invention of

Don’t worry, no spoilers. I’ll keep it to initial thoughts since that’s all I can muster right now. The Dark Knight , of course, lives up to the hype. Heath Ledger even more so. I am now totally at peace with the (previously partially unsubstantiated) rally calls for a posthumous Oscar nod.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Ryan Stewart’s Flex SEO contest (also known as the “Fleximagically Searchable” contest).

A lot of people have used Google but few have any idea as to the complexity and computer power necessary to return billions of queries with millions of results all in under a second. This isn’t by accident, an oversight by Google or even due to security concerns, Google believes in not making search seem complicated to users. This notion is perhaps best illustrated in Google’s “Technology
