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.
Google's homepage, iGoogle, where you can add all the RSS feeds you want (I have lots of tech news feeds) has a lot of themes to choose from. One that I recently chose was Radiohead's theme, which is really cool looking. Here it is ...
Now, Gmail has themes, too. There are a lot to choose from. I chose one called "Pebbles", and it looks really cool whenever I go to my inbox ...
In honor of the Radiohead theme for iGoogle, here is a video for their song, Weird Fishes ...
The above video is embedded from MySpace Music. I don't know why Radiohead didn't just put the video on their YouTube channel. Here is the most recent video from their YouTube channel, Reckoner ...
In other news, I really want to get the December issue of SPIN magazine with M.I.A. on the cover ...
That photo is from M.I.A.'s MySpace, and I am sure she added the bottom part. The scanned photos from the magazine can be seen here (LiveJournal's "Oh No They Didn't" community).
The XBOX 360 got a whole new experience that makes its interface a lot cooler. It also teamed up with Netflix to be able to stream movies on your TV. I have Netflix so I tried it out, and it is awesome! I am really happy I chose the XBOX 360 over the PS3 and the Wii. It has been a great video game console. Here is a video on the new XBOX 360 stuff ...
The game that I am totally addicted to right now on the XBOX 360 is Fallout 3. The theme of this game is a post-apocalyptic world where you are trying to survive, make connections, kill monsters, etc. It's very "I Am Legend", but with more people and creatures around. I was frustrated with the game at first, and I didn't think I would ever get into it (this happened to me with the similar game, Oblivion), but I have given the game a second chance and read up about it on some walk-throughs, and I am happy to say that I love the game now ... a bit too much. I have to remember to eat, go to work, etc., and not play the game 24-7.
The video above makes the game look like it is nothing by a "shoot-em-up" type of game, but there is a lot more to it. There is a lot of dialouge, interaction with other characters, foraging, design/customization, etc., in the game. The game is not just about killing evil creatures (but there is a lot of that).
