Mozilla (maker of Firefox) has a new application called Raindrop, which will try to organize all of the messages you get from email and all of the social networking sites you belong to. It sounds pretty cool, but I can't figure out how to download and install it, yet.
Here is an article on it ...

I have always thought Firefox was the best browser! I'm glad I am not the only one. ;)
This website should be able to tell you more about this subject soon ...

I discovered Firefox Personas today. They are really cool themes that completely change how your browser looks. I chose the "Fireflies" Persona to go with my Noia 2.0 (eXtreme) browser theme, and the combination is really cool. I think they have tons of personas to choose from.
Noia 2.0 (eXtreme) theme (for the Firefox 3.5 browser)
Here is what my browser looks like now ...
Depeche Mode - Peace (Japanese Popstars Remix)
M.I.A. has begun her NEET empire with a simple webpage that is really cool to look at. NEET is M.I.A.'s own personal record label. I think she may have used it to help distribute the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, but don't quote me on that. She is definitely using it to market her protege, Rye Rye. Below is a screenshot of the website, but you need to go to the actual site to experience the magic of the graphics (you'll see what I mean).
I think "NEET" stands for "
My favorite song or remix of Rye Rye's is "Hardcore Girls", which she did with The Count and Sinden. Here is the Don Rimini remix (which I have posted before) ...

This is a pretty neat chart that shows you how quickly people all over the world are downloading Firefox 3.5.

I know this is something only extreme tech nerds will appreciate, but you have to appreciate just on a communication/technology/business level how quickly one product can sort of infest itself on the world.
Here is the article at TechCrunch that led me to the chart ...
I am hoping Firefox and Mozilla will continue to take a bite out of Internet Explorer and Microsoft's market share because I still believe Internet Explorere is one of the worst browsers. Also, I love Firefox's add-ons.
Firefox is still my favorite browser. Sometimes I will try out other browsers, like Google's Chrome, just to see what else is out there, but I always end up coming back to Firefox.
The latest version, Firefox 3.5, is available for download here ...
There is also a video you can watch about the latest features of Firefox here ...

I am just posting this so I will remember to read it later. =)
Noia 2.0 (extreme) is my favorite theme for Firefox. I always used it for Firefox 2, and it has recently been updated for Firefox 3. Here is what it looks like ...
Download load it by going to the webpage for it ...

Here is the website of the person who made it ...
You can now download the official version of Firefox 3 by going here ...
Mozilla was having some trouble earlier today, but now it seems like everything is running smoothly.
Google has updated its toolbar for Firefox 3. I love the Google Toolbar because you can add little buttons to it that will take you to sites like Wikipedia, Amazon, Gmail, and IMDB.com ...
Download the latest version of Google Toolbar (it will update itself when you restart Firefox 3 or maybe before then)
Here is some music I listened to today ...
Another song from the Amores Perros soundtrack, this song is called "De Perros Amores" by Control Machete ...
I read about an artist/band called Ladyhawke on the music blog, Arjan Writes, today. Ladyhawke's song, "Paris Is Burning", is pretty catchy and it slightly reminds me of Gary Numan's song, "Cars".
Here is a remix of the song, and it is labeled "Peaches Remix", but I don't know how accurate that is ...
Here is the video for Ladyhawke's "Paris is Burning" ...
I love how she wears a Snoopy shirt in the video!
"Ladyhawke" is also the name of a movie from 1985 with Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. I have never seen it all the way through. I think there is a Canadian rock band called "Ladyhawk", but don't get them confused with the above singer!
Here is the trailer for the movie, "Ladyhawke" ...
Here is "Cars" by Gary Numan ...
Here is the video for Gary Numan's "Cars" ...
There is a remix of M.I.A.'s "XR2" by Blaqstarr that I was able to download from the M.I.A. Fans message board. The picture that I put with the song is from a party at the Museum of Modern Art in New York called the "Party in the Garden", I think. There is a better picture of M.I.A. at the same party at People's website. I got the picture for the song from Bonafide-Hustler.com.
Here is the photo from People's website that I like, but I wish it was really large ...
You can download the song here if you like.
Mozilla wants 1 million downloads or more on June 17th when the official version of Firefox 3 will be released. I have been using the "release candidate" of Firefox 3 (I don't know what "release candidate" means, but I think that is the right phrase ... kind of like "beta" or "testing version"), and I really love it. It is definitely the fastest browser I have ever used. I hate, hate, hate Internet Explorer, but I have always loved the Firefox browsers. I try to tell all of my friends, co-workers, relatives, and even members at my credit union to use Firefox because it is safer (especially when combined with Google Toolbar), and it is faster and more customizable (I don't think that's a word).
Here is a video about the release of Mozilla's Firefox 3 on Tuesday, June 17th ...
In case you don't know where to go to download Firefox, the website is right here!
You can also download the latest "release candidate" of Firefox 3 before the real, official version comes out on Tuesday.
