Mozilla Updates Their Pocket PC Browser Called Minimo

Many Pocket PC users only use Internet Explorer because they do not realize that there are other alternatives. Mozilla has an alternative called Minimo and they have finally updated it. I like Minimo because the overall design and usability is very nice and really seems to fit my needs.

Firefox 1.5.0.3 To Be Released Very Soon?

I just noticed that Mozilla has finally put up a release notes page for Firefox 1.5.0.3. However, this does not mean that it is released but it is often an indication that it will be very soon. They don't have any changes or anything announced on the page and appears that they have only copied the template from 1.5.0.2 right now.

Zeropaid has put together a great list of extensions to use for Azureus (one of the most popular BitTorrent clients). There are many BitTorrent clients that are available to be downloaded but these plug-ins are what distinguish Azureus from the rest. Some of the ones that I like on their list are the Progress Bar, Chat, and Safe Peer.

Yahoo Tech Launched In Hopes To Compete With CNet

It appears that Yahoo Tech has been launched and they are trying to compete with CNet. They offer reviews of products, how-to guides, and have a staff on hand in hopes to answer your questions. After browsing through the site initially I didn't see anything that really impressed me. I very quickly got annoyed with the flash animations which seemed to add too much movement to the screen.

Google Testing Another Search Results Page

About two weeks ago a new search results page was uncovered that Google had been testing. Now, it is time to reveal another one. This search results screen doesn't show nearly as much information about a given site but it could greatly help your traffic to your site if you are the number one search result.
