Top 10 reasons why you should upgrade to Firefox 3 PDF Print

Feature – Firefox 3 is scheduled to be released at 10 am PST today and if the organization’s Download Day website is any indication, then you may have to wait in line until you get the installation file: 1.6 million people have signed up to download their browser today. Here are our top 10 reasons why we like the new browser why we believe you should upgrade to Firefox 3 soon.   

Most of the browser’s 15,000 changes are evolutionary modifications and when you launch it for the first time you will, despite a few visual changes, immediately feel at home if you have used Firefox before. But there are some dramatic changes, tweaks and refreshed features that we believe will improve the overall browsing experience and productivity. Expect to see improvements in many key components of the browser, including the bookmark manager, the download manager, the address bar and back button, add-ons, passwords and, most importantly, in security, reliability and performance.

Here are our top 10 reasons why you should upgrade to Firefox 3: TG Daily

Hey Everyone,
Just thought I'd do something cool for the month of May and post 3 random songs I've liked this month.

In no particular order:

Family Force 5 - Fever

Reasoner - Approaching The Sun (If you like this song I recommend checking out his other songs)

Sevendust - Burn (they don't have a music video but I found it put to a lotr theme pretty good)

Final Fantasy XIII for PlayStation 3 PDF Print
Written by Spence   
Thursday, 24 April 2008 20:29

I just thought I'd post about a game I'm looking forward to playing if I ever get a chance and show just some information about it. A release date has not been confirmed, but in a financial briefing on May 23, 2007 it was shown that Final Fantasy XIII will not be released until after the fiscal year ends in March 2008. I'd also like to point out that the character designer; Tetsuya Nomura also did the design for Final Fantasy VII Advent Children.

This eagerly anticipated title takes full advantage of the PlayStation 3 system's advanced hardware, providing tangible, intuitive controls while delivering seamless transitions between real-time gameplay and stunning in-game cinematics. The latest in cutting-edge technology has been utilized in development of FINAL FANTASY XIII, thus making this newest addition to the FINAL FANTASY series worthy of the title "next generation."

Must admit it does look awesome!

Asus EeePC with Windows XP surfaces at Best Buy PDF Print
Written by Spence

An update about the EeePC.

Best Buy is offering the Windows version of the EeePC in either black (stores and online) or white (online only) casing. As before, the EeePC is available only in the 4G (4 GB flash SSD) configuration and runs on a 900 MHz Intel Celeron M processor and 512 MB of DDR2 memory. The EeePC comes with a 7” screen (800 x 480 pixel resolution) as well as integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity.

Last week, Asus announced its second-generation EeePC, which has an 8.9” screen (1024 x 600 pixel resolution), SSDs with 12 or 20 GB capacity as well as a 1.3-megapixel webcam. The new EeePC continues to use Intel’s 900 MHz Celeron M processor for now, but in the future will come with an Intel Atom processor that is suppose to give much better battery life.

I was planning on buying an EeePC for just general convinces, but I think I'll wait for the changes/upgrades to be mostly over before I purchase one. It would be nice to have something small I can pack around to use during school breaks and long trips.
