When Flock 0.9 launched it was a pretty big overhaul, and now their next big milestone is Flock 1.0 which currently has a vague release date of Fall 2007. Honestly this is the dream browser for any heavy social network user out there, and hopefully they'll pursue more of the less tech savvy people who use MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube because I can guarantee that they would absolutely love it.
It's not very often that Google takes something out of labs, especially not two services at the same time. The Google Lab is considered Google's "technology playground." Instead of saying that a service is in beta (aside from Gmail), they say it's in labs and not quite ready for "prime time." The two most recent graduates of labs include Google Reader, and GOOG-411.
Not that this should be a surprise, but the ending of Halo 3 has been leaked to the Internet. With the game set to launch in just a week on September 25th, the video of the ending appears to be legitimate - although it hasn't been confirmed.

Mozilla has posted Firefox 2.0.0.7 which is an extremely critical update for all Firefox users out there. There is only one thing that has been fixed, but it's a QuickTime vulnerability that could compromise Firefox and your computer.
It's been nearly two months since Mozilla originally announced that they were going to help Thunderbird "spread its wings," and it looks like we finally have a result of the talks.

Most people aren't willing to pay for the news content that they view on the Internet, and it appears the New York Times is realizing this. As of midnight tonight, the NYT will no longer charge users to view their TimesSelect content. TimesSelect was a paid service that gave subscribers access to the Op-Ed columnists, and The Times Archive.
Welcome to Daily Downloads brought to you by CyberNet! Each weekday we bring you the Windows software updates for widely used programs, and it's safe to assume that all the software we list is freeware (we'll try to note the paid-only programs).
I've been excited for quite some time to see what Google would be able to pull out of their Online Presentation service, but I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the final result. For starters, one of the great things that they did is shorten the name of their "Office Suite" to just Google Docs (prior to this it was Google Docs & Spreadsheets), but the service is still in Beta.
Last Thursday we showed you how to make Windows Live Writer portable, and today we are going to show you how to create powerful text templates that will save you incredible amounts of time. Unfortunately the plugin you'll need to install, Dynamic Templates, won't work with the portable version.
