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.
edHere is a short clip of an updated version of the song "Shells" by M.I.A. The speed has been adjust on this version so M.I.A.'s voice sounds normal. Her voice sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks in the version of the song in my previous post.
This version still doesn't sound 100% perfect, but it's better. I can't wait to hear a high quality version of this song in its entirety.
I just watched this video on YouTube from Google about the benefits of Gmail ...
The funny thing about that video is that it leaves out 5 of my favorite aspects of Gmail ...
1)it's faster than any other email I have ever used, and I have used most of them.
2)you can send and receive 20MB files. you can't do that with Yahoo! or most other email providers.
3)if you have sent a file to one person, and you want to forward that file to a lot of other people, it will do it very, very quickly(this is kind of hard to explain, but if you were forwarding songs to people all the time like me, it would make a lot of sense).
4)you get almost 3GB of storage, and if you need more, you can just create a new account and forward all the new messages from the old account to the new account. I think Yahoo! is doing something where they give unlimited storage, but that doesn't mean shit when it takes an hour just to check your new messages with Yahoo!
5)you can play music and view pictures inside of Gmail. instead of downloading the files in your Gmail inbox to listen to them or view them, you can just use Gmail to do that. Hit "Play" on a file and a music player will appear. Hit "View" on a photo, and it will blow the photo up for you to fit the browser window.
Gmail rules and everyone should get it. If you want me to send you an invite or if you want me to send some music files to your Gmail address, then email me at xanadistic@gmail.com. =)
Later,
