I've been wanting a slim browser for quite some time, and Mozilla's new WebRunner browser is definitely just that. Mozilla cutout all of the frills to give people a one site at a time browsing experience that doesn't even have an Address Bar, bookmarks, forward/back operations, or many other things that you have become accustomed to a browser having.
Google has been working on a copyright filter (originally called "Claim Your Content") for YouTube videos for quite some time now, and it has finally launched. YouTube Video Identification (in beta, of course!) is what it's being called, and it is their way to ensure that copyrighted content will not appear on the site. At least that's what it's to do.
Yesterday Microsoft announced a new service called Live Search 411 which will be available soon.
Apple has finally decided to inform the public about the official release date of the acclaimed Leopard operating system, and it's in just 10 days (on October 26th). Lines will surely form outside of the Apple stores, but I would imagine that there will be more than enough copies available.
When Halo 3 broke the record in the video game industry by selling over 1 million pre-orders, we knew September was going to be a huge month for Microsoft.
It looks like one lucky user "accidentally" got the Zune 2 software update a little early thanks to a supposed mishap in Windows Update. JJRules, a member of the Zunerama forum, posted some screenshots late last week of the Zune 2 interface (version 2.1.0522.00) that is scheduled to be released in November.
Microsoft has decided that they want to limit the Vista SP1 Beta download to a select group of testers while they work out some of the kinks. I'm sure as the development cycle progresses they will make a pre-release download freely available to the public, but there is a hack floating around now that will let you "join" in the Beta program.
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).
We have talked about text editors a lot on CyberNet before because they can help you be a lot more productive. Up until a few weeks ago I was using Notepad++ on a regular basis, but then I came across PSPad that seemed a little nicer. I do quite a bit of website programming, and that got me thinking whether there was anything better than PSPad out there.
