Mozilla Firefox 3 To Be Launched on 17 June 2008

Isaak Kwok — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 05:03:48 +0000

Really looking forward to the release of Mozilla Firefox 3 on 17 June 2008 (18 June in Singapore). Have been using the betas of Firefox 3 (the latest is Release Candidate 3) for the past couple of months and it has been a pleasure to use. The previous version had problems with high memory usage and frequent crashes. But all such problems have eliminated or reduced.

So, remember to click on the logo above and pledge that you’ll download Mozilla Firefox 3 on the launch day!

UPDATE: Had fun playing around with the new version of Firefox 3. Anyway, if you have downloaded, you can go print your own certificate for participating in the download.

Here’s mine:

Over the past few days, FriendFeed has grown in popularity amongst the A-List bloggers.

Basically, what FriendFeed does is to aggregate all the different entities I have online such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Zooomr, Google Reader, de.licio.us, and this website into one giant feed.

If you want, you can always add me as a friend here.

- Forget Word: 13 Online Word Processors
A comprehensive listing of some of the more interesting online word processors available. I’ve personally used Google Docs, Buzzword and Writeboard. The mainstay for me is Google Docs because of its integration with the rest of the Google apps. However, I must say I’m very impressed with the UI design of Buzzword, which makes use of Adobe AIR.
