Ahh, here we are. In my time zone we're just moments away from celebrating a New Year! I wish everyone the best as we venture into the unknown and get a fresh start. If you decide to make a New Year's resolution....stick with it because at the end of next year you will be so much happier!
November was when Vista got sent to the manufacturer to prepare for the November 30th business launch, and coincidentally it is also the month that Vista got leaked and cracked. Let's not forget that this is also when we posted our new site redesign along with starting the forum!
October was a slow month for new releases but two of the most popular browsers, Firefox and Internet Explorer, had huge milestones that took the spotlight.
Google had a couple of big releases in September but I think the Xbox 360 laptop definitely took the cake! That thing left me speechless after watching the video.
August was a huge month for Firefox since they hit the 200 million download mark. KDE (a Linux desktop) released a new Start Menu that is unlike any other that you have used before and continues to push Linux further and further.
This is the month that CyberNet switched over to a dedicated server to make sure we can handle our future traffic needs. It also seemed to be the month of cool things: a self-parking BMW, 4D globe, Xbox 360 case mods, and more.
The Pirate Bay was the talk of the month since they had their servers seized and then quickly returned to them after authorities found no illegal content. To help crack down on piracy Microsoft also updated their Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) process to check for counterfeit versions of Windows XP...which unexpectedly identified legitimate versions of Windows as counterfeit.
In May 2006 Mozilla continued to keep quite about their Pocket PC Web browser and Gmail horror stories started to make their rounds around the Web. The most unforgettable thing in May was probably the magazine that reported on an April Fool's joke posted by another website.
April Fool's Day brought some great laughs but that didn't stop any big news from happening later in the month.
March was more of a fun month with a lot of news from Google and a few big acquisitions. This is also when our site's traffic really got a boost.
