Hi All,
For those not familiar with the Firefox Web Browser here is some news!
The almost-but-not-quite-final beta of Firefox 3 (FF3 beta 4) is now available for download. The most noticeable improvement is speed. In some tests, it’s three times faster than Firefox 2 (meaning the test completes in 1/3 the time), and a whopping five […]

Hi All!
I often wondered how to improve the quality of those YouTube videos…
This from Life Hacker:
YouTube announced in November that they would be testing out encoding videos at higher resolutions (and with higher-quality audio encoding). Now it appears that a small sampling of uploaded videos can already be seen at their higher resolutions, simply by […]

Don’t ask M$ to do anything. Just pay. I have had […]
