With the release of Firefox 3 Alpha many people are left wondering what the benefits are of Mozilla switching to Cairo for the rendering engine. As demonstrated above the corners that are rendered using the latest Firefox 3 Alpha are anti-aliased meaning they are smoother.
Moments ago Skype made two big announcements that will surely satisfy all Skype users. First off, and probably the biggest, is that their new Skype 3 has been released. According the the release notes here are the new features and changes:
It has been a week since the creator of the Million Dollar Homepage launched his new site called Pixelotto. For those of you unfamiliar with the site the goal is to sell 1 million pixels of advertising space at a rate of $2 per pixel.
Many of us were in awe and disappointed when the Optimus keyboard was announced to be in black & white along with a price tag of $1200. We knew that it couldn't be cheap to build these but $1200 for a computer keyboard seemed a little outlandish.
Flickr is definitely warming up to the holiday season. First off, they have an Easter Egg and it can be revealed when you add a note to an image. In that note if you type ho ho ho beard or ho ho ho hat then that note will turn into a beard or hat, respectively. It is actually kinda fun and definitely creative! [via Boing Boing]
Congratulations to Firefox for having its television debut earlier this week. Their are four user-created commercials that Mozilla is airing in the San Francisco and Boston areas and Mozilla Links has a listing of the times that the commercials will air (which apparently ends tonight).
Google finally added several of the features that they should have had in the Google Toolbar for Firefox when version 2 launched. The new version 3 (Beta, of course) most notably adds a Google Bookmark menu (pictured above) so that you can easily take your bookmarks with you wherever you go.
Over the past few weeks I have been trying to break away from using my mouse and that starts with learning keyboard shortcuts for individual programs.
