Firefox 3.6 is out

Have a look at this video from Mozilla, showing the new features introduced with Firefox 3.6.

It’s funny M$ needs to get a Hotfix for huge security holes. Although they know for sure that it’s just another workaround. Mozilla on the other side preps for the future… p.e.

  • Much faster JavaScript (for all you Facebook, Googlemail, Wave.. guys out there) -> Man it’s ligtning fast!
  • Embedded Streaming Video (without the need of Flash…. HTML 5 is here before the standard is completed ;) )
  • Personas
  • Better Extension control
  • ….

And if you do follow the Mozilla development, you’ll know what’s left in the pipeline (Jetpack, Bespin, Ubiquity, Snowl… goto https://mozillalabs.com/)

I’ve one more thing (Remember: next week iss another apple presentation @stevejobs ;) )….

Here is the download page to get your favorit browser:

5 ways to misunderstand Free and Open Source Software. | GHABUNTU

This is 0ne of the best blog posts about OS in a while … 5 ways to misunderstand Free and Open Source Software.

1. The software industry can’t keep going if programmers don’t get paid.
2. Innovation is killed in free software.
3. Software Should Just Work (who cares about source code?)
4. Free software doesn’t respect authors’ copyrighted and patented software.
5. Free software is like communism.

You really should take your time and read the full post.

This saves my day at work …

OMG I want to have this one in black…

XBMC Transparency – Introduction

If you have been running XBMC 9.04 until now, it must have been a big disappointment that you couldn’t check out all the new skins, as every one of them required you to install an unstable XBMC svn version. Luckily, with the release of XBMC 9.11 Camelot, this has come to an end. With the 9.11 release you’ll not only be able to enjoy all of the new features xbmc has to offer, but there’s also a multitude of new skins to check out. To name a few, there’s Confluence (the new default skin), Ellipsis & Xperience (by team Blackbolt), Rapier (made by scarfa) and Alaska (created by djh_ & Hitcher). Be sure to check them out, they all deserve your attention. Transparency! is also one of the skins released after XBMC 9.04, so chances are you’ve never used it before.

Today sees the release of Transparency! v2.11. Have a look at the video to find out what’s it all about, or check the xbmc skin section for screenshots and a list of features included in this skin. If you want to get involved, head on over to the forum. I’m always interested in new ideas and could use some help in getting the skin translated to several languages.

Finally, a big thanx to the entire xbmc community for all the help i’ve received over the past 6 months
and, of course, my congratulations to Team-XBMC with the release of 9.11 Camelot!
